- Save Me
The first book presents the two protagonists: Ruby Bell, who has two goals: to go unnoticed at the elite school Maxton Hall, where she got a scholarship, and to go to the college of her dreams, Oxford; and James Beaufort, the popular kid at school, captain of the lacrosse team and heir to a million-dollar company.
They meet after Ruby witnesses a secret from James's sister, Lydia, and he tries to bribe her not to share what he saw. From then on, they start to tease each other, but end up getting closer and falling in love.
However, James' father is against the romance and threatens to expose Ruby's family secrets and ruin her chances of going to Oxford.
“Ruby and James come from completely opposite worlds, and yet the more they get to know each other, the more they realize that they share much more than they thought,” says the book's description.
- Save You
In the second book, Ruby is disappointed after James betrays her trust. However, the heir loses his mother and is pressured by his father to take over the company. During this difficult time in her life, she supports James but makes it clear that she is not willing to forgive him or go back. At the same time, James is willing to do anything to win the girl back.
- Save Us
In the last book of the trilogy, Ruby's biggest nightmare comes true, but everything gets even worse when she discovers that the person responsible for her expulsion from Maxton Hall is James.
