The Rebel's Crown

At Saintwood Academy, everyone knows the Golden Rule: never fall in love outside your circle.

Ariana Sinclair is Saintwood's perfect princess: student council president, top of her class, daughter of one of the town's richest families, and the girl everyone expects to become prom queen before she even asks for the crown.

Kai Maddox is everything she's supposed to avoid: reckless, sharp-tongued, always in trouble, and famous for breaking rules like they were written personally to bore him.

When Kai almost gets expelled after a fight, Ariana is forced to tutor him to save her own student council campaign. She thinks he's just another careless rebel. He thinks she's a spoiled Royal with a perfect life.

But the more time they spend together, the more Ariana realizes Kai isn't the villain everyone says he is. And Kai starts to see that Ariana's crown is heavier than it looks.

Secret study sessions turn into late-night drives. Arguments turn into almost-kisses. And when an anonymous gossip account called The Golden Rule starts exposing secrets about them, Ariana has to choose between the reputation she's built and the boy who makes her feel real.

At Saintwood, love is a scandal.

And breaking the Golden Rule might ruin them both.
