He taught me how to bleed. I taught myself how to bite.

Three years ago, my father forced me to vanish from Agony Hollow in the dead of night. No goodbyes. No apologies.

Now I'm back on a scholarship I risked everything to get, and my one and only childhood friend wants me gone.

But Kai Jordan isn't the same green-eyed boy who escaped with me into the woods behind our broken homes.

He's hotter. Crueler. Utterly ruthless.

And intent on breaking me before the end of the week.

I should run. I should scream. I should report him.

Instead, I find myself accepting help from someone even more dangerous.

Someone who sees exactly what Kai does to me.

What I do to Kai.

Someone who thinks we're not nearly cruel enough.

​

This is a dark college bully romance featuring childhood friends-turned-enemies, a morally grey professor with his own agenda, and a heroine who discovers that sometimes the only way to survive cruelty is to embrace it.
