Riley Copper has always been a loser. Bad breaks, missed chances, doors slammed in his face: if something can go wrong for Riley, it usually does. Preston Vale was born into wealth, privilege, and a life where everything seems to fall effortlessly into place; Preston has always assumed some people are simply luckier than others. He has no idea how right he is. When Riley and Preston discover their lives have been deliberately linked since childhood, the born loser and the blueblood must work together to escape a system where the have-nots are preyed upon by the powerful, their destinies consumed to ensure the fortunes of the wealthy. But there is no escaping the brutal truth at the heart of their connection: In the end, only one of them can survive.
