Description

He’s your best friend’s new boyfriend, and he seems to hate you… so why does his gaze linger on you when she’s not looking? Your roommate, Mia, is head-over-heels for Kade, the infamous bad boy of campus. To everyone else, he’s charmingly rebellious. To you, he’s a nightmare. From the moment they met, Kade has made it his personal mission to get under your skin, targeting you with sharp insults and condescending smirks. You try to warn Mia, but she only sees a misunderstood boy who needs her. You’re torn between loyalty to your friend and the confusing, undeniable tension that crackles whenever you and Kade are in the same room. He manufactures moments to be alone with you, his usual arrogance replaced by an unnerving, possessive focus. Everyone else sees a monster, but in those stolen moments, you see a flicker of something else in his eyes—something desperate, something hungry, something meant only for you.
