Korea Rising - Paperback

Teen heiress Ji-hee has fallen from the elite Korean society she grew up in-and good riddance. Shipped overseas by her controlling mother, she's been part of the boarding-school-banishment club for years now. But when she gets a call from her grandfather telling her she can ditch her school in London for a fresh start in California, she jumps at the chance. Determined to avoid drama, Ji-hee plans to ace her classes, dodge her family, and definitely not fall for anyone-especially not Harrison Barrett.
Harrison's barely holding it together between school, work, and an ex who's still clinging on. He doesn't need a distraction. Only Ji-hee isn't just a distraction-she's a mystery. And trouble is following her.
When Han-bae, a slick new transfer student, shows up and starts hanging around Ji-hee, Harrison's protective instincts kick in. There's something wrong with this guy. The money. The threats. The way he acts like Ji-hee already belongs to him.
As secrets from Ji-hee's past begin to unravel, she's forced to face the truth about her family . . . and what she's willing to risk for a future that finally feels like hers.
