    Description:
    At fifteen, Rory Ellison was brilliant, ambitious, and completely out of options.
    
    An arranged engagement to Nathan Harrington — heir to one of the wealthiest families in the state — had been decided for her by a powerful old man she couldn't refuse. Nathan despised her. His mother plotted against her. And the professor who'd engineered it all watched from a distance, testing her without mercy.
    
    So Rory decided to play the long game.
    
    She would become Nathan's most devoted, most humiliating admirer. She would make herself indispensable to the family — and unbearable to him. She would maneuver every piece into place, and then, at exactly the right moment, walk away.
    
    *All I Ever Wanted Was Out* is a razor-sharp story of a girl who refused to be someone else's prize — and the decade it took to prove it.
    
    Some games are won by never playing the way they expect.
