At Hawthorne Institute, legacy is everything.
For generations, Hayden Beckett's family has ruled the prestigious boarding school from the shadows. Old money, perfect reputations, and impossible expectations are woven into her blood. But Hayden doesn't want to live up to the Beckett name.
She wants to become something greater.
Logan Sterling has spent his entire life trying to outrun his family's ambitions. Charming, reckless, and sole heir to a billion-dollar empire, he's the last person anyone would trust-- and the first person everyone notices.
When a student turns up dead under mysterious circumstances, Hawthorne is thrown into chaos.
What begins as a tragedy quickly spirals into something far darker.
Secrets buried beneath decades of tradition begin to surface. Anonymous threats circulate through the halls. Friendships fracture. Alibis unravel. And the deeper Hayden and Logan dig, the more they realize the murderer may be connected to a secret the school has protected for years.
A secret someone is willing to kill for.
