When 17-year-old Aria Carter transfers to the mysterious Blackwood Academy, she wants nothing more than a fresh start. Instead, she crosses paths with Luca Moretti—the cold, feared heir to one of the city’s most powerful crime families. Everyone warns her to stay away, but the more she tries to escape him, the more their lives become intertwined. Hidden secrets, dangerous enemies, betrayals, forbidden love, and deadly choices force them into a world where love can either save them or destroy them. In a place where trust is a weakness and revenge is everything, Aria must decide whether falling for the monster everyone fears is worth risking her own heart.
