Some secrets aren’t inherited. They’re weaponized and loving the wrong person can cost everything.
Scarlett Voss built her life on discipline and distance. Fighting is easy. Trust is not. Her past left marks she refuses to examine, and she likes it that way.
Callum Mercer threatens that balance.
Sharp. Controlled. Raised in a world where influence is currency and loyalty is enforced, he belongs to a hidden society that runs their university from the shadows. He doesn’t lose. He doesn’t soften.
But with Scarlett, control slips.
Their chemistry is volatile, equal parts fire and destruction. And as she’s drawn further into Callum’s ruthless world, Scarlett begins to uncover a truth that shakes her foundation: she’s been tangled in this darkness far longer than she realized.
Now the past is resurfacing, secrets are unraveling, and love feels dangerously close to surrender.
In a world built on power and deception, Scarlett must choose: either protect her heart, or give it to the one man capable of breaking it beyond repair.
A dark, twisted romance where love is possession, secrets have teeth, and nothing comes without a cost.
