About the book
I was supposed to survive my final semester. Keep my head down. Graduate top of my class. Get out.
Instead, I became his target.
Briggs Chadwick III.
Rich. Ruthless. Untouchable.
He wants my future, and he’ll do anything to take it. He makes me an offer. Then a threat. Then a promise to ruin me.
But I’ve fought too hard, sacrificed too much.
I fight back.
What I don’t expect is the way he looks at me when no one else is watching. The way hate turns into something far more dangerous.
Because Briggs isn’t just trying to break me — he’s the only one who can unravel me.
Then one night changes everything.
A mistake we can’t take back. A secret that binds us together in ways neither of us can escape.
Now someone knows what we did.
And if the truth comes out, it won’t just destroy our futures — It will destroy us.
This is only the beginning.
The first book in this dark, romance continuity, filled with toxic tension, morally grey heroes, and heroines who refuse to bow. With a ‘this isn’t over’ ending it’s perfect for fans of Meagan Brandy, Chloe Walsh, L.J Shen, Ruby Vincent and I Know What You Did Last Summer.
