Belle Honey has always been Brightmoor Academy's golden girl-cheer captain, perfect daughter, and the girl everyone expects to end up with hometown hero Rowan Hunter. But Belle has been keeping a secret. For three years, she's been in love with Tanner Hale-the feared captain of rival Blackstone Academy and the boy everyone calls a monster. When Tanner publicly claims her after defeating Rowan in the National Slugfest Championship, their secret love becomes the scandal of the year. The very next night, Tanner disappears. Everyone believes he's dead. Belle is left with grief, guilt, and the haunting feeling that the last thing Tanner believed was that she betrayed him. Months later, a new transfer arrives at Brightmoor. Xander Blakk. Scarred. Ruthless. Untouchable. A Slugslinger so dangerous he steals Rowan's captaincy in a single brutal match. He's everything Tanner was not- colder, darker, and built for revenge. When Xander forces Belle into a fake relationship by threatening to expose her father's darkest secrets, she finds herself trapped between the life she's supposed to want and the monster she can't stay away from. Because the more time she spends with Xander, the more impossible truth she begins to fear: Tanner Hale may be dead. But the Beast remembers everything.
