At Edgewood Preparatory Academy, hate is practically a love language.
Isaac Walsh and Isabella Whelan have been speaking it fluently for years.
Bella thinks Iz is an arrogant jerk with a savior complex. Iz thinks Bella is a spoiled, manipulative nightmare who has never cared about anyone but herself. They know exactly which buttons to push, which wounds still hurt, and how to turn a perfectly normal conversation into emotional warfare in under thirty seconds. Everyone around them learned a long time ago to stay out of the blast radius.
The problem is, somewhere along the way, the lines started to blur.
Their fights get closer. Their hatred gets hotter. And when years of vicious chemistry finally cross a line neither of them can uncross, they make the only reasonable decision two emotionally stable people would make.
They keep doing it.
No feelings. No expectations. No admitting that hate has always required an alarming amount of obsession. Bella still lies to him. Iz still pisses her off for sport. They still know exactly how to destroy each other.
Now they just know what happens when the fighting stops, too.
But Bella has spent years keeping far more than her feelings for Iz hidden. Behind the perfect clothes, vicious mouth, and carefully cultivated reputation is a girl who knows things she shouldn't, has made sacrifices no one knows about, and has been playing a game far more dangerous than anyone realized.
Iz was never supposed to look closely enough to figure that out.
With graduation closing in and Edgewood's oldest secrets beginning to unravel, the things Bella has kept buried are becoming impossible to contain. Every lie, every favor, every piece of information she's collected has a purpose—and when Iz finally realizes just how wrong he's been about her, walking away isn't an option.
Neither is saving her.
Because Bella Whelan doesn't need a hero.
She needs a partner.
And once Iz and Bella stop trying to destroy each other long enough to realize they're terrifyingly good at destroying everyone else together, the game changes.
Hate was easy. Whatever the hell they've become is not.
Because somewhere between blackmail and revenge, fighting and hooking up, protecting each other and threatening to commit murder on each other's behalf, the worst possible thing happens.
They fall in love.
And if Edgewood thought either of them was dangerous alone?
It hasn't seen anything yet.
