He doesn't belong in their world. But she belongs in his.
Eighteen-year-old Amelia has spent her entire life surrounded by privilege, expectations and a future already decided for her. At Dolton Preparatory Academy, every path has been carefully planned...
...until she meets Jake.
Quietly guarded and fiercely independent, Jake is the scholarship student who never quite fits into Amelia's world. Yet beneath his calm exterior is a boy determined to build a future that belongs to him-and no one else.
When Jake is suddenly kidnapped, a devastating secret shatters everything he thought he knew about himself.
A man with a silver tooth and a smile that can charm or destroy reveals a truth buried for eighteen years: Jake isn't just another boy.
He's an heir.
Now, the father he never knew is demanding the one thing Jake refuses to give...
his future.
As violence closes in and the distance between their two worlds disappears, Amelia and Jake must decide whether love is enough to survive a legacy built on blood, loyalty and secrets.
Because sometimes the family you're born into is the one thing you have to fight to escape.
