Angel is a brilliant working student hiding a dangerous past in the shadows. When she becomes his latest obsession, Nathaniel tries to destroy her future piece by piece. He expects a victim. Instead, he finds a strategist. The harder he pushes, the more he realizes Angel isn't just another student, she's a weapon. And the one thing Nathaniel can't control is the angel he tried to ruin.
