Rival

This academy will always be corrupt ... because of him.

Chase Stone is hot.

Lethal.

Wicked.

And in charge of a world I don't understand.

I enrolled into Briarcliff Academy to find a better future after my mother was killed and I was left with nothing but a stepfather who wanted to be rid of me.

It only took a few days at my new school before my roommate goes missing, too. Briarcliff's most popular student, their princess, is gone.

I keep thinking it should've been me.

Because bad luck seems to follow me around lately. A lot.

Do you want proof? How about the time I stumbled upon a secret society ritual, led by the cruelest of the elite students-Chase Stone.

The secret prince despises me on sight. He bullies, intimidates, and promises a world of pain and suffering if he's to do me any favors.

If I want their help in clearing my name, I have to bow to him, first.

So be it.

Chase may have the reputation of a cold-eyed predator while sauntering through Briarcliff's halls like a gorgeous god, but I have nothing else to lose.

Let him come for me.
