Ross is the perfect daughter-obedient, devout, and the principal's pride. At Holy Cross Academy, a strict Christian school where the golden rule is not dating, no distractions-only God and grades, Ross is the model student. No makeup, no detentions, no boys. Especially no boys.
But everything changes the day Andrew Cross roars onto campus-tattooed, reckless, and riding a forbidden bike with a gang just as dangerous. Sent to Holy Cross as punishment, Andrew isn't interested in redemption. He's interested in chaos and Ross.
Ross tries to ignore him. Tries to pray him out of her mind. But Andrew sees through her good girl image, and beneath the uniform and prayers, he finds a girl suffocating under rules and expectations.
What begins as stolen glances and accidental touches spirals into something darker, something sacred-and sinful. As Andrew's haunting past catches up and Ross's father fights to protect the school's reputation, they must choose obey the world they were born into or risk everything for the love they were never supposed to have.
But Andrew holds a secret. One that could shatter Ross's faith, her family, and the only sanctuary she's ever known...
Ross Mathew (20)
Ross is the epitome of grace and discipline at Holy Cross Academy-a devout Christian girl, a straight-A student, and the principal's daughter. Known for her beauty, brains, and angelic voice, Ross dreams of breaking free from her sheltered life to become a singer. But with strict rules forbidding relationships and her father warning every boy to stay away, she's untouchable-the most forbidden girl on campus. Until he arrives.
Andrew Cross (22)
Feared by many, respected by few, Andrew is a ruthless biker with a dark past. He runs a secret mafia operation and hides behind a mask of arrogance, danger, and narcissism. Cold-hearted and untamed, he has no interest in rules-until he meets the one girl he can't have. When his eyes lock with Ross Mathew's, something shifts.
❝How did we get here?❞ I asked him as he twirled my hair between his fingers. He lifted my head up from his chest and smiled. ❝I don't know, but I'll do it all over again if it means I get to stay here with you forever.❞
