His Reputation (D10)

Everyone at Ashcroft College has a reason for being there.

Some are born into families who have called its centuries-old halls home for generations. Some arrive because they're brilliant. Others because they need one last chance.

Evie Whitmore has no idea which category she belongs in anymore.

On her first day at England's most prestigious all-boarding school, she's handed the key to Dorm Four, introduced to four girls who couldn't be more different from her, and quickly learns one rule everyone seems to know:

Stay away from Josh Olliver.

Singer. Fighter. Professional rule-breaker.

He's the boy whose name appears on the detention list more often than the honours board, the one teachers can't stand and students can't help watching. Charming enough to talk his way out of almost anything and reckless enough to get into trouble before breakfast, Josh has built a reputation that reaches every corner of Ashcroft.

Evie plans to keep her distance.

Josh has other ideas.

What starts as cruel remarks, endless teasing, and accidental run-ins soon becomes late-night conversations after curfew, secret music sessions, hidden rooftops, and a side of Josh that no one else seems to notice. Behind the smirk and the fights is a boy carrying more weight than anyone realizes-and somehow, Evie is the only person he doesn't want to push away.

But Ashcroft is a school built on reputation, and reputations are almost impossible to escape.

As friendships are tested, secrets begin to surface, and the line between loyalty and love grows harder to see, Evie must decide whether the boy everyone warned her about is really the villain of the story... or just someone who's never been given the chance to be anything else.

At Ashcroft College, everyone is hiding something.

Some secrets can ruin a reputation.

Others can change your life forever.
