She was the sorority princess. He was the boy who broke into her house.

Lila Davenport has everything— wealth, beauty, and a crown that makes her untouchable. But behind the perfect smile, she hides a scar she can't forget: the night her family home was robbed, and the thief stole her most precious possession...a necklace holding her grandmother's ashes.

Sean Smith has spent years trying to outrun his past. Once a juvenile delinquent dragged into crime by his father, he's now fighting to walk the straight and narrow. But when he transfers to the same college as the girl who hates him most, fate throws them back together in the cruelest way.

Then Sean does the unthinkable. He returns the necklace he's hidden for years—proving he was never able to let go of her either.

What begins as fiery resentment soon twists into something hotter and far more dangerous. Late-night study sessions turn into stolen kisses. Harsh words turn into confessions. But when Lila's sorority sisters and wealthy family demand she choose her crown over the bad boy who ruined her life, she'll have to decide: protect her reputation...or risk everything for the one person she swore she could never forgive.

Opposites attract. Enemies ignite. Hearts collide.
Perfect for fans of spicy campus romance, bad boys with scars, and heroines learning to live for themselves. Sometimes the greatest love stories rise from the ashes of the past.
