  #  Introduction
  
  
  
  
  
  Elle
  
  
  
  
  
  He’s the guy with the world against him and I’m the girl they all love to
  hate.
  
  
  Our reputations suck for two very different reasons and where he’s working to
  do something about it, I’m working to keep my head down and not draw attention
  to myself.
  
  
  Falling for Jackson would be a mistake.
  
  
  Falling for him would put me right back in the public eye, somewhere I swore
  I’d never be again.
  
  
  But what can I say? I’m a sucker for trouble.
