Publisher's Synopsis
Hercules is the only man I ever wanted and the only man I can never have.
At first, Hercules was the boy that set my soul on fire. Temptation personified; he was the flame, and I, the moth. At least that's how I felt. Because Hercules Valentine was off-limits, I knew that just as well as I knew my name. The rivalry between our families has deep roots. My family will never accept him, and his family will never welcome me either. I know this for a fact. However, no matter where life takes us, fate has a funny way of bringing Hercules and me back together again. He doesn't know it, but he's been my first real kiss, among other things. It's been years since my high school crush on the quiet, tempting, and popular boy in my 5th-period class. And now, family duty calls, and I've been tasked with crossing him in the worst way. If he learns of my deception, then he might end up hating me forever. But will my mission be thwarted by an itch that only Hercules can scratch?
