Noel Grayson has always considered himself an ordinary college student-blond-brown hair, green eyes, and nothing remarkable about him except for one strange flaw: secrets find him. Whispers, confessions, betrayals-no matter how hard he tries not to, Noel always ends up overhearing things he was never meant to know. He keeps them locked away, never telling a soul.
But that's exactly what makes him dangerous in the wrong eyes.
Matthew Carson, the perfect heir to the Carson empire, is adored by professors and envied by classmates. With his black hair, icy blue eyes, and flawless manners, he seems untouchable-a golden boy sculpted to lead. Yet beneath the surface lies a darker truth: the son of a CEO who doubles as a mafia boss and a Russian mafia princess, Matthew is ruthless, reckless, and unhinged. The perfect façade hides a maniac waiting to break free.
And Noel is the only outsider who has seen that other side.
When Matthew's obsession with Noel takes root, it's not love-it's possession. Notes slipped into notebooks, piercing stares across lecture halls, the quiet promise that Noel can never escape. Surrounded by mafia heirs, hidden blood ties, and secrets that could burn the entire campus down, Noel finds himself caught in a dangerous game.
Because when Matthew Carson wants something... nothing-not reason, not fear, not even blood-will stand in his way.
