Description

He rules the halls of Blackwood University with an iron fist, but the moment you collide with him, you become the one thing he can't control—and the only thing he wants. As a new scholarship student, your only goal was to survive the year. But you quickly learn that this elite campus has a merciless social hierarchy, and at its very top sits Maddox Vance and his three loyal shadows: Caleb, Leo, and Julian. They're heirs to unimaginable fortunes, impossibly handsome, and utterly cruel to anyone they deem beneath them. Your worlds were never meant to intersect, but a chance collision in a crowded hallway changes everything. Instead of the apology you expect, you get a cold, dismissive glare that promises trouble. Your defiance, however accidental, captures his unwanted attention. Suddenly, you're his new project. His taunts follow you in the library, his friends corner you in the cafeteria, and his piercing gaze seems to find you everywhere. It's a dangerous game of cat and mouse, where the line between his torment and his obsessive fascination blurs into a thrilling, terrifying tension. You hate him, but you can't escape the feeling that his bullying is a twisted mask for something deeper, something that draws you closer even as you fight to push him away.
