*INCLUDES A BRAND-NEW NOVELLA - GHOSTED*

The Prom Queen and the Freak are enmeshed in an evening of dangerous pleasure in this super spicy, viral prequel novella to New York Times bestselling BookTok sensation Harley Laroux’s infamously hot, irresistibly dark, Why Choose bully duology The Losers—perfect for fans of Kate Stewart, LJ Shen, Sara Cate, and Penelope Douglas.

Jessica Martin is not a nice girl. As Prom Queen and Captain of the cheer squad, she'd ruled her school mercilessly, looking down her nose at everyone she deemed unworthy. The most unworthy of them all? The "freak," Manson, her favorite victim.

But a lot changes after high school.

A freak like him never should have ended up at the same Halloween party as her. He never should have been able to beat her at a game of Drink or Dare. He never should have been able to humiliate her in front of everyone.

Losing the game means taking a dare to serve Manson for the entire night as his slave. It's a dare that Jessica's pride - and curiosity - won't allow her to refuse. What ensues is a dark game of pleasure and pain, fear and desire.

Is it only a game?

Only revenge?

Only a dare?

Or is it something more?
