12 chapitres En cours d'écriture Contenu pour adultesDaphne Sinclair has always been the kind of girl who sees the best in people. With a heart too big for her own good and a kindness that seems almost untouched by the world's cruelty, she moves through life with an effortless grace. At twenty-two, she's finally finding her place in college, focused on her studies, her friends, and the future she's determined to build.
Ryder Knox is the opposite of everything she stands for. At twenty-four, he's a name whispered in fear, a shadow in the halls, a man whose reputation speaks before he ever has to. No one dares to cross him-not the students, not the professors, not even the people who think they hold real power. He's cold, calculated, and untouchable. And he has no intention of changing that.
Until Daphne.
She collides into his life like a force of nature, all warmth and light, completely unaware of the danger that comes with getting too close. He tries to stay away. She refuses to be scared. The more she pushes through his walls, the more he realizes that some battles aren't fought with fists or intimidation-some battles are fought with the heart.
But Ryder's past isn't something that can be erased, and Daphne might be the one thing that finally brings him to his knees.
Love was never supposed to be in the cards for him.
But Daphne Sinclair doesn't play by the rules.
