Forget playing nice - power is for the ruthless, and Angel Carter doesn't play by the rules.
When Mackenzie Brooks moves to a new town, she's ready for a fresh start. But at her elite high school, Angel rules like a queen - flawless, feared, and untouchable. Defiance is unacceptable in Angel's world, and Mackenzie? She's not just defiant. She's a threat.
What begins as subtle sabotage soon explodes into a vicious game of humiliation, secrets, and mind games as Angel pulls every string to break Mackenzie. But Mackenzie isn't like the others Angel has crushed under her heel-she's smart, stubborn, and unwilling to let Angel win.
As their rivalry deepens, so does the tension between them, and neither of them can deny the dangerous pull simmering beneath the surface. But in a world where control is everything and betrayal is just another weapon, obsession can turn deadly.
Love, lies, and obsession collide in this scorching enemies-to-lovers story where one wrong move could shatter them both.
