The Royal Mistake

Killian Royal has a legacy to uphold. As the heir to a legendary legal dynasty, his path is perfectly charted: survive an elite law school and out-pace his fiercest rival. But perfection breeds paranoia, and for months, Killian has been haunted by the suffocating feeling that he is being hunted.

Enter Ivy Jones-Royal. Brilliant and fiercely independent, Ivy makes it her absolute mission to out-rank Killian at every turn. But their explosive friction looks less like a campus rivalry and more like a passionate, forbidden pull. Neither of them understands the dark history behind their shared last name-Ivy assumed it was a bizarre coincidence, and Killian thinks it's a calculated play.

But they are both playing right into a trap. Ivy's arrival at the university wasn't a coincidence, and the danger closing in is no mistake. A ruthless shadow from the past has been watching them, and having the two of them at the same school has worked perfectly in the killer's favor.

Forced into hiding to survive a deadly game of cat-and-mouse, the bitter rivals must put their competition aside. But as they dig into the locked files of the past, they realize their families are tied together by blood, lies, and a lethal cover-up. And the only thing more volatile than the danger closing in is the undeniable, terrifying spark ignited between them.
