When an invisible loner pulls off an unexpected prank on Alstone High's most powerful student, she thinks she's gotten away clean—until Carter Blackthorne tracks her down and decides she needs to pay the price. What starts as his revenge quickly becomes something far more complicated as they're forced into close quarters and the lines between antagonism and attraction blur in deliciously dangerous ways. Brace yourself for enemies-to-lovers chemistry that sizzles, a slow-burn redemption arc, and a hero who's so much more than his crown.

Dark indie rock with sultry R&B undertones, industrial beats, and tense atmospheric production. Think smoldering tension, forbidden attraction, and the intoxicating blur between hate and desire. Artists like The Neighbourhood, FKA twigs, and Cigarettes After Sex. Edgy, sensual, dangerously seductive.
