Everyone knows Lucas Vale. The rich heir. The handsome transfer student. The boy who arrives at university in a chauffeur-driven car and never seems bothered by anything. Everyone wants to know him. Amelia Reyes doesn't. She's too busy surviving college on a scholarship, working part-time, and trying to build a future that doesn't depend on anyone else. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. When Amelia is paired with Lucas for a university project, she discovers that the cold, arrogant boy everyone talks about isn't quite what he seems. He's funny when nobody is watching. He's kind when he thinks no one notices. And sometimes, when he thinks he's alone, he looks terrified. The closer Amelia gets to him, the more questions she has. Why does Lucas disappear for hours? Why does he refuse to talk about his family? Why does he panic whenever someone mentions his father's name? And why does he keep telling Amelia to stay away from him? She thought falling in love with Lucas Vale would be the biggest mistake of her life. She was wrong. The biggest mistake was trusting his secret.
