Beautiful Wreckage

"I didn't come here to fall for you," he said. "That was never part of the plan." She looked up at him, already too far gone to care. "What was the plan?" His jaw tightened. "To destroy everything your family built." She should have run. She kissed him instead.

Mila Ashford arrived at Harwick University with one rule: don't get attached. She'd spent eighteen years in a house full of secrets, raised by two parents who loved her and lied to her in equal measure. College was supposed to be a clean slate. New city. New name. New her.

Then she met Rhys Blackwell.

He was brooding, dangerous, and looked at her like he already knew every secret she was trying to bury. She told herself to stay away. She told herself he was bad news. She told herself a lot of things that turned out to be completely, devastatingly wrong.

Because Rhys isn't just a dark, mysterious stranger.

He's the son of the man her parents have been running from for twenty years.
And he came to Harwick for her.

But Rhys isn't the only one with an agenda. Cassian Vane - golden, charming, student council president - has been watching Mila since the day she arrived. Freya, her best friend, the one person she trusted completely, is keeping a secret that will shatter everything. And Nadia Corvin isn't going to let Mila have Rhys without a fight - a fight that turns vicious and personal very fast.

Everyone at Harwick University is playing a game.

Mila just doesn't know the rules yet.
