Aaliyah Waters was once known as the campus rebel-feared, misunderstood, and always one punch away from trouble. After a violent incident nearly destroyed her future, she disappeared without a trace... only to return a year later as someone completely unrecognizable: soft-spoken, graceful, and seemingly reformed.
Now attending one of the most prestigious business schools under a new identity, Aaliyah plays the perfect student and intern role to get close to the elite CEO heir, Jaxon Blackwell, the man tied to the scandal that ruined her past.
But beneath her polished smile lies a storm. By night, Aaliyah slips into the underground fighting world where she's known as "The Halo" - a mysterious fighter with a brutal streak and a vendetta.
Jaxon is drawn to her, sensing the fire she tries to hide. But what happens when the good girl act starts to crack... and the bad girl he's falling for is the same one who might destroy him?
She's playing innocent.
He's hiding secrets.
Only one of them will survive the truth.
