They call it Blackchurch. A secluded mansion where the wealthy send their misbehaving sons to cool off away from prying eyes. Will Grayson has never been bound by a single rule other than to do exactly what he wants. He might've enjoyed backing me into corners in high school when no one was looking, but he could also be warm. And fierce in keeping me safe. The truth is, he has a right to hate me. It's all my fault. Everything. Devil's Night. The videos. The arrests. And I regret nothing. *** I never minded being locked up.

And as the security detail leaves and the door to my gilded cage opens, giving me free reign of the house and grounds for another unsupervised month, I remember with a smile...Blackchurch houses five prisoners. I'm only one of her problems"--
