"Oh, princess, you don’t know a thing about torture. But don’t worry, I’m a good teacher."
Liliana Hargrave
My father lords over Crimson Heights with an iron fist, and I’m stuck here playing the perfect princess to a kingdom I never asked for.
Smile.
Look pretty.
Don’t resist.
Follow the rules.
Family always comes first.
I didn’t choose this life. Or this name. Or this family. And I’d like nothing more than to give it all back.
Vander Lockwood turns my life into even more of a nightmare when he shows up in my first class of freshman year. He’s vicious and cruel, his unprovoked hatred so obvious that it stings like a fresh cut whenever he’s near. He's always there—watching, judging, tormenting.
And I’m torn between surrendering like I’ve been taught or uncaging the thirst for blood that’s suddenly clawing its way to the surface.
Vander Lockwood
Football and legacies are the heart and soul of Crimson Heights University, and that makes me the uncontested king on campus.
But I’m not here to rule—I’m here to burn it all to the ground.
Liliana Hargrave is the key to driving a knife right into the poisoned heart of this town.
I hate her.
I crave her.
I want her.
I can’t untangle my need for revenge from my need for her, both the desires twisting together until they form a deformed bond that pulses loud and strong in my veins. There’s no denying I want her. But I want to break her just as much.
And she’s going to be mine right after I topple that golden crown of hers.
