Two families The son of one The daughter of the other One, the dark prince of the world in which they live The other, the queen in a world that is entirely her own He is seen and worshipped by all who meet him She is invisible and lives in the shadows Two mysteries Bound by coincidence Repelled by hate A hate so strong that perhaps it could be mistaken for something else He is her dark prince She, his shadow queen But can they put away their shared stubbornness and allow themselves to to give in to each other ? To consume one another To allow themselves to fall Or has the hole they've created been dug too deep ?

Donatella Winters: Spellbindingly beautiful. Effortlessly smart. Not the most popular but friendly with everyone she comes across. Darius Ford: Painfully gorgeous. Shining star of the hockey team. Reigning at the top of the high school food chain. At school they don't know each other. She knows of him, of course she does, but he's never even heard her name. Or so he believes.

Two rivals, which formed their hate for each other purely because of academic validation When a new boy Ares Sanchez starts attending Olivia's Maddox school and becomes top student without even trying, she labels him as her number one enemy. But what she doesn't know is that outside the school walls he is nothing like a 'model student'. Having to take care of his grandmother's hospital bills he engages in illegal underground boxing. After Olivia first sees Ares's beaten body and learns about his situation she offers him help "my uncle used to have a boxing career. He can turn you into a real boxer" his eyes searched through mine like he was deciding if I'm really telling the truth or not "what for?" he finally asked "so you can attend an legal match. These things have prizes with large amounts of money, it will help you pay off your debt, just let us help you" "us?" "yes, my uncle taught me all there is to know about self defence and boxing basics so I'll be helping you practice" "and what do you get out of it?" I'd hate to ask something in return but this is the only way he'll allow me to help him "you could help me with my studies" "but you're a top student" "was, until you came along. So put it this way, tutor me and make me as smart as you so I can pass the final exams as a top student and attend my dream college"
