Bound to the Boy I Hated

Everyone has a past they're running from.
Mine followed me.

When Ariella Moore transfers to Blackwood Academy, she wants only one thing-a quiet life where no one knows her name or her shame. But peace was never part of her fate.

Because the first boy she collides with is Ethan Blackwood-cold, dangerous, and untouchable. The boy everyone fears. The boy who looks at her like he already knows her secrets.

A single photo.

A cruel rumor.

A scandal that spreads faster than truth.
To survive, Ariella agrees to the unthinkable: a fake relationship with the boy she hates most.

But lies blur.
Fake feelings turn real.
And love becomes the most dangerous risk of all.

Because Ethan is hiding something.
And Ariella's past isn't done destroying her.

💔 Hate can turn into love
🔥 Fake dating, real consequences
🖤 Secrets, betrayal, and obsession

Sometimes, the boy who saves you...
Is the same one who can break you completely.
