Description

From USA Today bestselling author Rina Kent comes the gripping first installment in an intense, darkly passionate college romance series centered around elite criminal families and morally complex characters.

Killian Carson is a ruthless predator concealed behind a veneer of sophistication and allure. Cold-hearted, dangerously intelligent, and manipulative, he maintains a flawless facade most can’t see past—except Glyndon. She recognizes the darkness beneath his polished exterior and knows she should run far and fast. Yet a hidden part of her secretly wants the thrill of being pursued…and captured.

Glyndon King has spent her whole life struggling to feel seen, overshadowed by her mother and talented brothers. Always feeling like she’s failed to live up to the family’s artistic expectations, Glyndon finds in Killian someone who demands only one thing: her unconditional surrender. Rivalry between their individual schools should pull them apart, yet their overpowering attraction and consuming need for each other rises above everything else.

But can two damaged souls truly heal each other’s deep emotional wounds? Will their forbidden passion withstand the dark secrets of their entwined, disturbing histories? As buried truths resurface, they’ll either emerge stronger than ever—or risk losing themselves completely.
