Underneath the tide

After winning a scholarship to Harrow Academy alongside her brother, Claire enters a world where money speaks louder than truth and reputation is everything. For students like her, one mistake means losing it all. For others, consequences don't exist.

He's everything she hates about Harrow-rich, powerful, and raised to believe the world bends in his favor. Gale isn't cruel, just greedy for control, status, and the life he was promised. Their clashes are inevitable. So is the attraction neither of them wants to admit.

As rivalries blur into desire and loyalties are tested, Harrow's flawless image begins to crack. A murder isn't the cause of the chaos-it's the result. Secrets surface, alliances shift, and Claire learns that in a place built on privilege, love is dangerous, truth is expensive, and survival comes at a cost.
