Lila Rowan has always prided herself on being the perfect student and friend-straight A's, volunteer work, and a reputation for staying out of trouble. Her life revolves around her best friends, Jo Parker and Emily Hayes, and she's happy to keep it that way. But her world takes a dark turn when Jo's estranged twin brother, Kai Parker, shows up at school after years away.
Kai is everything Lila despises-reckless, manipulative, and dangerously charming. From the moment they meet, he seems determined to unravel the careful life she's built, pushing her to confront sides of herself she's buried deep. What begins as a game of mind and heart quickly spirals into something darker, as Kai's obsession with her grows.
But Lila doesn't know the full story. The Parker family isn't just strange-they're hiding a secret that defies reality. As she's drawn further into their world, cracks start to form in her perfect exterior. Kai's relentless pursuit forces Lila to question not only her view of him but also her own identity and desires.
While Lila struggles to stay grounded, Kai's motives remain shrouded in mystery. He wants more than just her attention-he's playing a long game that only he understands, with devastating consequences looming. As secrets unravel and tensions rise, Lila is left wondering if she can escape Kai's pull-or if she even wants to.
When the truth finally comes to light, it will trap them both in a dangerous world far from the halls of their high school. Lila may have started as a goody-two-shoes, but Kai Parker has a way of turning lives upside down-and Lila's is no exception.

I stepped back. He started coming dangerously close towards me. I stepped sideways knowing how this would end. I would obviously get pinned against the wall and god knows what next.
"No cheating." he put a hand around my waist and pushed me roughly against the wall. His hot biceps caging me in his arms. He actually smiled a little this time, it was not a smirk. And his little smile was totally panty-dropping.
"I'll take that as a hint." I smirked.
"For what?" his lips hovered above mine.
"Well, if you keep pinning me against the wall, you want to kiss me." I shrugged. But I was totally affected by this closeness. I felt tingles and goosebumps run down my whole body.
"I do."
