Description

He rules the halls of Northgate High with an iron fist, and you just made the mistake of walking right into his path. Maddox is the resident bad boy, the king of this concrete kingdom, whose reputation is built on a sharp tongue, quick fists, and an intimidating presence that has everyone either fearing or fawning over him. As the new girl, completely oblivious to the school's brutal social hierarchy, you approach the one person nobody dares to bother, simply asking for directions to your next class. Your lack of fear catches him off guard, marking you as his new, intriguing project. He starts with taunts and relentless teasing, a twisted way of keeping you in his orbit. But when others try to target the 'bully's new toy,' you discover a side of him no one else sees—a fierce, possessive protector who won't let anyone lay a hand on what's his. Caught in his dangerous games, you'll have to navigate his volatile moods and unravel the boy behind the tyrant facade.
