Birdsong

Love wasn't part of the plan.
Neither was mercy.

Bronwyn Finch is the perfect student - brilliant, polished, untouchable. When she transfers to one of America's most elite colleges, she expects academic challenge, not four dangerously captivating professors with venom in their eyes.

Drakos. Dominic. Elijah. Alistair.
To the world, they are celebrated scholars. To Bronwyn, they are her tormentors.
But beneath the ivy-covered halls and academic prestige, they are the last surviving heads of Falco Plumas - a criminal syndicate decimated by her own family.

They aren't the only ones without secrets: Bronwyn Finch is the daughter of Viktor Finch, head of The Finches, the very family who usurped Falco 20 years ago, though Bronwyn falls ignorant to this legacy.

Behind the Finch name lies a global dynasty of drugs, pleasure clubs, blood-soaked politics, and silenced enemies.

Now, the professors have a plan:
Lure the Finch daughter in with the guise of an academic experiment.
Consent is part of the game. Control is the real goal.
Break her. Bait her. Use her to dismantle the empire from the inside.

But the girl they swore to destroy turns out to be far more dangerous than they expected. Too clever to fool. Too innocent to hate. Too irresistible to resist.

And the deeper she falls into their hands, the harder they fall at her feet.

This was never supposed to be love.
It was revenge.
Until she made them bleed.
