His Silent Shadow

​TJ Kippen is the undisputed king of Shadyside High-a basketball captain defined by his arrogance, his lethal temper, and a dominant streak that keeps everyone else at a distance. He's a narcissist who views the world as his court and everyone on it as a pawn. He's used to being feared, used to being obeyed, and used to getting exactly what he wants. ​What he wants is Cyrus Goodman. ​But Cyrus isn't like the others. Where the rest of the world cowers under TJ's aggressive gaze, Cyrus looks back with a calm that borders on defiance. He isn't intimidated by the cocky displays of power or the suffocating possessiveness; instead, he stares directly into the sun of TJ's ego without blinking. ​For TJ, Cyrus is the ultimate challenge-a prize that refuses to be conquered. For Cyrus, TJ is a storm he has no intention of running from. As TJ's obsession turns dark and his demands grow more possessive, the lines between a hunt and a courtship vanish. In this twisted power struggle, it's no longer about who is in control-it's about how far they're both willing to go before they burn the whole school down.
