But as tension crackles between her and Caiden, she begins to suspect that nothing is quite what it seems, and the real dangers lurking beneath the surface are far darker than simple college drama. With every moment pulling her closer to Caiden and deeper into a web of secrets, she's forced to confront the lies surrounding her past and the feelings she desperately doesn't want to have for her enemy. This gripping dark romance will have you questioning everything while burning for more.
