My scholarship at Darkbloom University is meant to buy me a place among the elite and a way out of the old world I left behind, along with the dark secret that still follows me.
Lucan Hale, the most ruthless heir on campus, turns my first day into a campaign of torment I cannot outrun.
Ice-cold and whispered to be a killer, the morally gray billionaire is someone I despise and still cannot shake.
After I see a murder during the college welcome ritual, staying alive means accepting the excessive protection he forces on me.
He may keep me breathing, but his claim is consuming, and the man who wanted me first has no intention of ever letting go.
