And how would she feel if she discovered she was nothing more than a scapegoat in this wretched game?

Of Shadows And Sins
At Blackwell University, there are only two kinds of people-the ones who rule and the ones who kneel. Selene Lancaster has made it clear she'll never be the latter. Ice-cold, untouchable, and dangerously intelligent, she refuses to be another name in their twisted little games. But then there's him. Lucian Vale. Arrogant, ruthless, and sinfully irresistible. He walks through the halls like he owns them, like the world bends to his will. And now? He wants her. What starts as a war of words turns into something far more dangerous-a game of power, control, and temptation laced with every stolen glance and reckless touch. He's everything she should hate, and yet, he's the only one who gets under her skin. Because Lucian Vale doesn't ask-he takes. And when he whispers, "Run while you still can, sweetheart," Selene knows one thing for certain. She's not running. Not from him. Not from this. Because in the end, enemies make the best lovers-and the worst heartbreak.
