At Churchill Bradley Academy, secrets are weapons, and darkness always finds its prey.
They say Churchill Bradley Academy is where the elite reign, where secrets are currency and power is everything. But beneath the polished surface, something darker waits; and Arabella Gray is about to be dragged into its depths.
Arabella has always been the perfect student. The good girl who plays by the rules, desperate to be accepted and to escape the shadow of her mother's manipulations. But at CBA, nothing is as it seems, and playing by the rules won't keep her safe.
Eli Travers has always been an outcast. The brooding artist with a twisted soul, and a dangerous mind. Now, he's her new stepbrother, driven by a simmering hatred and a burning need for vengeance. Arabella may not be guilty of her mother's sins, but that won't stop Eli from making her pay the price.
At Churchill Bradley Academy, power isn't earned—it's stolen. Desire is a weapon, and Arabella has just become the prize in a brutal game. Eli holds all the cards, and he won't stop until every piece of her is shattered, until she's nothing but a pawn in his twisted vendetta.
But in a world where monsters hide behind wealth and privilege, the real question isn't whether Arabella can survive Eli's torment, it's whether she'll lose herself to the darkness he's awakening inside her.
Will she escape the monster lurking in the shadows, or will he devour every part of her until there's nothing left?
