Description

He decides you're his new favorite project the moment he lays eyes on you. Landon King, the star quarterback and unofficial king of Northwood High, has a reputation for calculated cruelty, a hobby of finding people's weakest points and pressing down until they fracture. As the new girl, you're the perfect target—quiet, observant, and seemingly unimpressed by the magnetic pull he has on everyone else. He makes it his mission to get a reaction from you, cornering you in the empty hallways and dissecting you with sharp words and an even sharper gaze. But what starts as a game of power slowly becomes an obsession. There's something in your eyes that doesn't just reflect his taunts but seems to see right through the armor he's so carefully constructed, and he's not sure if he wants to destroy you or if he wants you to be the one to finally see him.
