Love. Betrayal. The Truth. 

After a horrific first 3 years at Kane View Academy, Rhea Lawrence wants nothing more than to finish her senior year with no problems or setbacks. She is done with the lies and trauma Kane View holds.

But when the year takes a dangerous turn with a ruthless King who is set on breaking Rhea, everything changes.

After a terrible tragedy struck the King's household the youngest King finally has the chance to inflict the same pain he felt at such a young age. He is ready to cause chaos, destroy the people that hurt him, and let the disgusting truth out. 

Maddox King is a vicious, cruel bastard who feels no remorse for anything or anyone, ever. He came to Kane View with one job and one job only. 

Maddox is determined to destroy Rhea even if it means faking what should and seems real. But Rhea is determined on not being the victim again.

The real question is, who will break first? Because now, all bets are off and the truth will come out one way or another.
