Challenging the Enemy (The Enemy Next Generation (1) Series, #4) / The Enemy Next Generation (1) Series (ePub)

What do you get when mental and emotional instability meet betrayal?

A challenge that can't possibly produce any winners.

Crew
Crew Marlow was a lot of things, but emotionally stable wasn't on that list. Luckily for him, he came from a family that was pretty much free from all consequences of their actions. Being a part of the Marlow, Reed, McIntire, and McCellan clans, there was nothing that Crew wasn't safe from. Though he had a lot of demons, life could still be a lot worse. A lot worse.

Starting his final year of high school, everything changes when his past comes back in a way that he's not prepared to deal with. Though he's come a long way in being able to control those unstable thoughts and emotions, there was always that one exception to the rule, and that exception was registered at Regal Academy again as if nothing had ever happened. She also doesn't show up alone.

Still, if anyone's going to suffer, it's going to be her.

Athena
Athena Ashford was a lot of things, but, sometimes, smart wasn't always on that list. Having grown up in the posh town of Port Lucia, Athena had been like every other kid in town; rich and neglected. However, things hadn't been all bad. Life had been decent enough right up until the point when her father's recklessness had changed her life forever. After that, it'd only gotten worse.

Starting her final year of high school, everything changes when she returns to the one place that she had hoped never to see again. Though it's been a couple of years, the memories are still fresh and just as painful as they'd always been. When her return to Regal Academy begins to turn into a nightmare of her worst fears, she knows that a decision has to be made soon, hopefully before someone ends up hurt.

All of it just because of him.

When everything has changed and every move you make is seen as a challenge...
After finally finding out the truth behind all the lies, Crew knows that nothing can stop him from settling this thing between him and Athena Ashford for good. There's also nothing stopping him from making sure that someone pays dearly for what happened all those years ago.

After finally finding out the truth behind all the lies, Athena knows the game has changed, and Crew Marlow is the beneficiary of those changing tides, not her. Having done this before, she also knows that there's nothing she can do to stop what's coming next.

Even though Crew knows that Athena will need some convincing, and Athena knows that there's no controlling Crew, they've got bigger issues to deal with. Though the both of them are determined to make things right and move forward, someone else has other plans.
