We. Rewrite. Our destiny.

Saint-Laurent Boarding College for boys. Prestigious, pompous, and privileged. Everything I am not. Because what goes on behind some of those curtains, is not for all to seeโ€ฆ

My father was my abuser, my antagonist, my nightmare. But he also represented home, once an unsafe haven, now the only place I long for since itโ€™s taken away from me.

When my mother comes marching back into my life, she has a powerful army at her side. And on her way to winning her war, she tries to destroy everything in her wake. Including me.

The Deverauxs become my new family; Saint-Laurent Boarding College my new home. Little did I know that another secret family is lurking on the grounds. How can I, when Iโ€™m too busy fighting off him?

Arthur Deveraux is devious, provocative and seductive.
And heโ€™s making my life a living hell. Because the moment his dad commands him to look after me at Saint-Laurent, he sees me as a threat to his carefully laid-out future.

He enrages me, corners me, andโ€”piece by pieceโ€”consumes me no matter how hard I resist him.

But then, our competition turns into something entirely different. Something primal that escalates with a hunger so feral that it threatens to destroy my whole world.
I want him. But I mustnโ€™t forget my goal:

To return to my iron bars and darkened cage. To go home.
