When Lily Jareu cut ties with her suffocating, ultra-wealthy family, all she wanted was a fresh start in Gotham-and enough caffeine to survive it. Her daughter, Nicole, had a simpler goal: maintain a perfect GPA at Gotham Academy, ignore the high-society snobs, and never let anything derail her future.
Then she met Jason Todd.
Arrogant, razor-sharp, and perpetually bruised, Jason is the notorious "black sheep" of the Wayne empire-a street kid thrust into a tailored blazer who refuses to play by prep-school rules. What begins as a bitter AP Literature rivalry quickly turns into a slow burn neither of them saw coming. But behind Jason's dry sarcasm and late-night library debates lies a lethal second life running Gotham's rooftops-a secret identity Nicole is completely blind to.
As their bond deepens, the real warfare begins at home.
While Lily appreciates Jason's raw honesty and quietly gives the pair her blessing, Nicole's powerful, elite grandparents-Lucas and Carmen Jareu-are utterly horrified. To the old-money establishment, Jason Todd is an unrefined, dangerous delinquent who will drag the prestigious Jareu name straight into the gutter.
Caught between hidden scars, high-society expectations, and the violent shadows lurking beneath Bruce Wayne's roof, Nicole and Jason are on a collision course. Because falling for the black sheep of Gotham is dangerous-but falling for a boy living a double life might just cost everything.
