BOOK 1 in the Drowning/Bully Standalone Series. WARNING: This book contains intense bullying, explicit scenes, triggering language, violence, and psychological content. I told Caden to cancel his stupid party. He told me, with that infuriating smirk, "Why? Planning to be my snack tonight?" Caden has made my life hell for four years, ever since our parents got married. He's gorgeous, arrogant, and the kind of boy Stanford girls trip over themselves for. Me? I'm the only one who sees right through him. He's a blatant bully, the devil who turned me into a surreptitious one. And now we're stuck sharing the same off-campus apartment for our entire freshman year. Living together means new rules, no boundaries... and a tension I never expected. The closer we get, the harder it becomes to remember why we ever hated each other in the first place- and nothing threatens our pride more than that. *** Step into an adventure of passion, forgiveness, and second chances. This is Caden and Madison's story.

Noah Hale was once golden, bright, easy-going, alive. Now he is Patient A37. A dangerous anomaly locked inside a private research hospital, hidden from the world by the one man he trusted most. Five years ago, an accident in his best friend's, Evan Carrow's lab changed everything. The serum meant to heal instead tore Noah's body apart. Shattering bone, electrifying blood, ripping open abilities no human should possess. The world was told he turned violent. The truth is much darker. Drugged, tortured, and studied like a specimen, Noah has been transformed into the monster Evan needed him to be. Rage coils in his veins like lightning. His telekinesis surges with every scream he tries to swallow. The staff fear him. The world fears him. And he is beginning to fear himself. Then Lana arrives. A brilliant new nurse with soft hands and a guarded heart, Lana Moore is assigned to observe Patient 01 and nothing more. But the moment she sees him through the reinforced glass, something is wrong. His agony looks too human. His eyes follow her too carefully. And Noah notices her gentleness. Her hesitation. Her warmth in a place built entirely on cold floors and lies. She's the first person who doesn't look at him like a monster. Which is dangerous... for both of them. Because Noah's powers are growing. His hatred is sharpening. And the truth about what Evan did is itching to tear the world open. And it starts with the girl bold enough to touch the lightning. A dark romance of captivity, betrayal, obsession, and the terrifying moment when the monster they created decides he won't stay contained. He wasn't born a villain. They made him one. And she might be the only one who can unmake him... or destroy what's left.
