About this book

When a cold, untouchable prep school elite literally crashes into your life, you think you'll hate him forever—until one vulnerable moment shatters your certainty and leaves you tangled up in something far more dangerous than anger. After he steals your journal filled with secrets that could destroy you, you make a reckless deal to keep him from using them as weapons, but the line between revenge and desire blurs fast when you're alone together in the dark. What unfolds is a delicious power struggle between two people desperate to protect their hearts while surrendering to the intensity building between them. If you love enemies-to-lovers stories with serious stakes, emotional vulnerability hiding beneath all that fire, and characters who challenge each other in the most thrilling ways, this one will absolutely consume you.
