He smiled—slow, dangerous, like a wolf cornering prey.

“How about a deal, scholarship girl?”

The devil of Ravenscroft High didn’t ask. He commanded.

“Pretend to be mine. In exchange, I’ll give you exactly what you want.”

My pulse stuttered. My throat burned. “And what do you think I want?”

Storm-colored eyes. One word—sharp, poisonous:

“Revenge.”

**************

All I ever wanted was to survive Ravenscroft Academy. Matt—my best friend, my maybe-someday—was supposed to be safe. Until he chose Roxanne, the girl who’s bullied me for being poor, curvy, and unwanted since day one.

Enter Lucien Knox Ravenscroft: the bad boy heir, ruthless, rich, and dangerously possessive. His fake-dating offer is a game of power, obsession, and enemies-to-lovers sparks. One kiss becomes gossip. One rumor becomes a bet. If Matt notices me again, I win—and Lucien will help me ruin Roxanne. If not, I belong to him.

But Lucien doesn’t play fair—he plays dirty. And the more we fake it, the more real it feels. Then Seraphina walks in, calling herself his fiancée… and suddenly this isn’t a romance. It’s the start of a dark high school war....Perfect for fans of fake dating romance, bad boy romance, enemies-to-lovers heat, revenge plots, and possessive heroes who never play fair.
