The Ruthless Lords Don't Woo. They Hunt.

Demyan Moreau is the primus of our university'''s centuries-old society of industry magnates and mafia crime lords.

He rules with a cruel and merciless fist.

He's a dangerous snake with a beautiful human facade.

He's also… my boyfriend for fall semester.

Keep my head down. Do the bare minimum to appease my ambitious mother.

DO NOT get entangled with the ruthless scions who earned the elite university I attend its nickname: Villain U.

When my mother orders me to enter the Wild Girlfriend Hunt, I only do so to earn myself enough time to win a spot in a prestigious dance company and finally save my sick little stepbrother from my stepfather’s neglect. I had no plan to let the most ruthless Lord actually catch me.

But my agenda falls apart when Demyan finds my hiding place during the Hunt.

"I have caught you, ptichka." His heated gaze rakes my body. Like I have his full attention. "This means I can do whatever I want with you."

One semester. That's all I owe him—what I have to give him—under the terms of the Wild Girlfriend Hunt contract.

But as my temporary boyfriend’s sinister attention morphs into twisted obsession, I begin to realize he’s not what he seems. He’s keeping secrets from me and keeps going quiet when I remind him that we’ll be done when winter break comes. I have to ask…

Will the Lords’ most ruthless hunter
release his prey when the semester is done?
