He's cold, distant, and wants nothing to do with complications. She represents the worst kind of trouble he could find at this school. But Cade sees past her carefully constructed facade. He notices the loneliness she hides, the darkness she carries, the secrets she guards. What begins as mutual avoidance transforms into an unexpected alliance. She discovers someone who truly understands her hidden struggles. Despite every logical reason to stay away, she surrenders to feelings that could destroy them both. Love blooms in the most dangerous place possible. Yet their romance is only the beginning of a larger conflict. Her father's position as headmaster means their battle for happiness faces an enemy who controls every aspect of their world. The real war lies ahead.
