Description

He slams you against the lockers, his voice a low growl, and the entire hallway goes silent just for you. You're the new girl at Northwood High, desperate to trade your old nerdy, bullied persona for someone tough and untouchable. In a misguided attempt to establish a reputation, you pick a fight with a quiet, unassuming girl, thinking it's an easy win. Big mistake. That girl was Maya, the cherished younger sister of Liam—the school's undisputed, intimidating king. Now, you've got a target on your back. Liam is fiercely protective and possessive of his family, and he's made it his personal mission to make you pay for hurting his sister. Every glare in the hallway, every whispered threat is a reminder of your place in his world. But beneath the raw anger, a dangerous tension simmers. He's captivated by the fire in your eyes when you fight back, and soon, the line between torment and fascination begins to blur into something far more complicated.
