At Westshire, privilege is inherited and secrets are a birthright.
Addison Carmichael arrives prepared for ruthless academics and pressures of an elite institution. What she isn't prepared for is Harrison Lancaster: arrogant, untouchable, and determined to erase her from the board entirely.
When Addison stumbles onto the truth behind Westshire's carefully guarded traditions, and the secrets tied to her own family's past-everything she thought she knew begins to unravel.
Harrison is protecting a throne built on silence and power, one his father has been preparing him to inherit since birth.
As rivalry sharpens into obsession and lines blur between enemy and ally, Addison must decide whether the legacy she never knew she had at Westshire is worth risking everything else-including her heart.
Because at Westshire, love and loyalty aren't just dangerous.
They're weaknesses to be exploited.
