All Daisy Bird wants is to get through her last year at her prestigious college prep school and get into a top university. But then a fellow poor scholarship student is found dead.

The school rules it a suicide, but the dead girl's brother believes she was murdered, and he blackmails Daisy into helping him investigate the truth. If she refuses, he would reveal her secrets and ruin her life. To make things worse, the murder suspect happens to be the most popular student, the very rich and enigmatic Matthew Chasely.

As Daisy spies on Matthew, she finds out that he's hiding some dark secrets of his own. But she tells herself that her mission isn't dangerous, because a Chasely will never notice a mousy scholarship plain Jane like her. But he does.

And when he stares at her, she doesn’t know if he wants to kiss her or kill her.
