"Stay on your knees, or I’ll ruin you." At Blackridge Academy, power is everything—and Kieran Vale owns it all. He’s rich, feared, and plays boys like they're made of glass. Then comes Ash, the new scholarship student with second-hand shoes and quiet eyes. Everyone thinks he's just another charity case—until Kieran digs deeper. Ash isn’t poor. He isn’t weak. He’s lying. And Kieran? He always breaks liars. What starts as blackmail turns into obsession, but secrets burn hotter than desire—and someone’s about to get destroyed.
