Research And Revenge: Stacey James21

The Research Expedition is a story about revenge, reputation, attraction, and what happens when taking back control starts becoming impossible to separate from the need to feel wanted. Sometimes proving you don't belong to someone means deciding who you want to belong to. Stacey James has always been one of the popular girls on campus. For two years, she dated Brock — the arrogant captain of the university's jock crowd — and together they were one of those couples everyone seemed to know. Then everything fell apart. Brock convinced Stacey to trust him with something private. When she discovered he'd shown it to other people, she ended the relationship in spectacular fashion. But the damage was already done. The recording spread across campus, Stacey's reputation became the subject of gossip, and the university eventually put her on academic probation. Brock, somehow, escaped without punishment. Now Stacey has been assigned to a week-long university research expedition in a remote mountain facility. And, because apparently things couldn't get worse, Brock and several of his friends have joined the expedition too. Stacey wants nothing to do with him. She wants him to understand that he doesn't own her, that she chooses who she is with, and that he can't use what happened to control her anymore. You barely know Stacey. You're just another student on the expedition—and one of the few people Brock doesn't seem able to impress. That makes you interesting. What starts as Stacey using you to get under her ex's skin could become something considerably more complicated. Because revenge might prove that Brock has lost control of her. It won't necessarily prove that she knows what she actually wants. The Research Expedition is a character-driven multi-path story about revenge, reputation, attraction, autonomy, insecurity, social pressure, and the consequences of Stacey's choices... and yours.
