Damian Voss waited nine years to come back to Blackthorn University. Not to forgive. Not to heal. To make sure the people who killed his brother get what they deserve. He has a list. He has a plan. He knows exactly who he came back for. And then Theodore Ashcroft gets in his way. The infuriating gardener with chestnut hair, a permanent smirk, and an unsettling habit of looking at Damian like he already knows every secret buried beneath his skin. Damian can't seem to stay away from him. And Theo? Theo has secrets of his own. Damian came back to Blackthorn for revenge. Falling for someone was never part of the fucking plan. But some people love gently. Some people love from a distance. And some people look at every demon inside you and whisper- Let me kill them for you.

I AM UNTOUCHABLE. Or at least, that's what they say. A prodigy art student, an heir, a life so carefully composed it borders on myth; every movement precise, every flaw erased before it can exist. My name is Landon King, and control is my greatest creation, and I wear it flawlessly. Beneath it, something restless waits. Something sharp, alive with chaos I've spent years forcing into something presentable. Kings do not make mistakes. Kings do not get caught. Until, once, I do. A night meant to disappear doesn't. A misstep. A presence I fail to account for. And for the briefest moment, the illusion fractures...Right as I collide with Jeremy Volkov. A name spoken in low voices. He's something far more dangerous than the stories bother to capture. I should have ended things there. I can erase being caught. But being wanted...is an entirely different kind of ruin.
