Stay Still With Me

Ardelle Everhart was never the type to cause trouble-well, not the kind that gets caught. At Merlyn Academy, the prestigious girls-only school wrapped in ivy and tradition, she's known as a bright student with a kind heart, a rebellious streak, and a close circle of friends who'd follow her anywhere.

But one night, curiosity pulls her to the abandoned clocktower-a place sealed off for years, swallowed by silence and shadow.

What she finds inside isn't just a piece of the school's buried past...
It's someone-a man who shouldn't exist within Merlyn's walls.

He's wounded, hiding, and clearly carrying secrets darker than the halls of the academy. And against every rule she's ever known, Ardelle helps him. Protects him. Falls for him.

But the deeper she digs, the more dangerous things become.
Because the clocktower holds more than forgotten memories-it holds a secret someone is willing to kill for.

Now, Ardelle has placed herself, her best friends, and the boy who's stolen her heart in the middle of something far bigger than they understand.

And one mistake may cost them everything.
