At Suttonburry Hall-an elite, tradition-steeped boarding school where excellence is mandatory and secrets ferment in the walls-Brielle Rowan arrives angry, grieving, and entirely unwilling to belong.
Sent across the country after her father's death, she expects cold hallways, rigid rules, and girls sharper than the cutlery in their dining hall. She does not expect Claire Harroway-Head Girl, prodigy, and the school's most terrifying perfectionist. After an awful first impression, she immediately gets on Claire's bad side, sparking a fiery rivalry between the two girls.
Claire hates everything about Brielle- her raging arrogance, her blatant disregard for the rules, and her charisma that everyone else seems to fall for.
As intent as Claire is about following the rules, she is everything that Brielle resents: disciplined, brilliant, untouchable. And she intends to keep it that way-until Brielle manages to collide with the glass fortress she's built to survive her own past.
Thrown together in a myriad of situations, their rivalry becomes something volatile, magnetic, and impossible to name.
As Founders Day looms-bringing with it old griefs, new betrayals, and a gala where reputations are made and destroyed-Brielle and Claire must navigate the thin line between hatred and something far more dangerous.
Because at Suttonburry Hall, nothing stays buried-not secrets, not mistakes, and certainly not feelings. And the closer Brielle and Claire get, the more the school's polished veneer begins to crack.
Prestige, pressure, rivalry, desire-Suttonburry Hall has it all.
