At Westbridge University everybody has a reputation. Evangeline Rusova has perfected hers. The stunning socialite who knows everyone, attends every party and has everything under control. Haiden De Luca. A man who sees the world through patterns and systems, convinced that people are nothing more than predictable outcomes of their circumstances. A tutoring contract. Two polar opposites. They hate each other - and they're both absolutely certain they're right about one another. But Westbridge has a way of hiding things. Behind the parties, wealth and carefully crafted identities are secrets neither of them want exposed. Haiden has a life beyond the classroom - one built far away from lecture halls and reputation. Evangeline has spent years perfecting the person everyone sees, while burying everything she doesn't want them to know. But the more their worlds collide, the harder it becomes to separate truth from the versions of each other they once thought they knew. ----- A darker college tutor romance about first impressions, hidden lives, and two deeply flawed characters, forced to confront everything they thought they knew about themselves-and each other. Expect slow burn, angst, morally grey characters, family drama, mature themes, and plenty of mutual tension + hatred.
