To the wealthy elites of Kingswood Academy, I am nothing but a lower-class scholarship nobody. For six months, I endured the constant insults and cold behavior of my hockey captain boyfriend, Julian Cross, thinking it was love.​Until I caught him behind the sports shed, his hands all over the cheer captain, calling me a temporary charity project.​Devastated but fueled by pure rage, I decide to hit Julian exactly where his pride hurts the most. I approach Marcus Vance—the towering, ruthless captain of the basketball team and Julian’s ultimate enemy. The deal is simple: fake date me, and publicly humiliate Julian.​But Marcus is no savior. He is a spoiled, dangerous brat who is used to owning everything he touches.​The moment I try to back out of our toxic contract, Marcus corners me with a wicked smirk. He turns the tables, blackmailing me with my own scholarship to keep the fake relationship alive.​As Julian’s fury escalates and Marcus’s vindictive ex-girlfriend vows to destroy me, a darker mystery unravels. Marcus didn't just agree to this deal to break Julian—he has his own twisted motive.​Trapped between two wealthy monsters, I vow to never let another rich boy break my heart. But the closer Marcus and I are forced to get, the thinner the line between pure hatred and consuming desire becomes. I’m supposed to hate the man who blackmailed me... so why am I starting to crave him?
