When Celeste Kingsley accepts a full academic scholarship to Blackwood Academy, the most prestigious boarding school in the country, everyone assumes she's there because she couldn't afford to be anywhere else.
They couldn't be more wrong.
The Kingsleys have money-more than enough of it. But unlike the families who treat wealth like a competition, Celeste was raised to earn what she's given. She accepted the scholarship because she earned it, not because she needed it.
She doesn't wear designer logos to impress anyone. She doesn't name-drop her family's connections. She doesn't care who's old money and who's new. While everyone else is obsessed with appearances, popularity, and last names, Celeste would rather spend her Friday nights reading in the library or grabbing coffee with the few people she actually trusts.
That makes her different.
At Blackwood, different is dangerous.
An anonymous social media account begins exposing the students' deepest secrets. At first, it's harmless gossip. Then friendships shatter. Relationships fall apart. Reputations disappear overnight. Soon, no one knows who to trust.
Especially when the account starts posting things about Celeste that no one outside her family should know.
Especially Sterling Owens.
Blackwood's golden boy.
Captain of nearly every varsity team. Student body president. Heir to one of the country's most powerful families. The kind of person everyone wants to be seen with.
Sterling has spent his entire life surrounded by people who care about his money, his last name, or what being close to him can do for their reputation. Then Celeste walks into Blackwood and treats him like he's just another student.
She never asks who his family is.
She never tries to impress him.
She never plays the games everyone else does.
The more he tries to stay away from her, the more impossible it becomes.
