"Bullying, a boarding school, and a sweet romance. The Crowd combines the wit of Mean Girls and the sizzling romance of Twilight in a setting that rivals Anna and the French Kiss - all while remaining clean and wholesome." ★★★★★

Only the children of millionaires and billionaires attend Whitfield Preparatory Academy. Heiresses, playboys... and seventeen-year-old Ella Parker. For bright and musically gifted Ella, her sudden acceptance into the prestigious boarding school is a dream come true.

But Ella's delight quickly turns to dread when she finds herself in the crosshairs of an elite group of ruthless students dubbed "the Crowd." While she's no stranger to life in the spotlight, Ella's never been the center of attention quite like this before and she's determined to make them stop.

When the handsome and popular leader of the Crowd starts showing her unexpected - and not unkind - attention, she's forced to choose between the unassuming boy next door, Lucas Morales, her only friend in the small town outside the gates of the boarding school, and Jackson Montgomery, the one boy at Whitfield Prep with the power to put an end to the bullying.

Will Ella be humiliated, or triumph over her tormentors?

An irresistible story of faith, friendship, betrayal, and swoon-worthy romance, The Crowd will immerse readers in Ella's tumultuous struggle from the very first page.
