Elowen had one rule: Never let Hunter Vance break her heart twice. Once, she loved him enough to ask him to choose her. He didn’t. Instead, he chose a family obligation, an engagement to another woman, and a future that left Elowen thousands of miles away, rebuilding herself from the pieces he left behind. Now, in her third year at the University of Manchester, Elowen has everything under control. She’s a rising star in the university’s athletic division. She’s the girl everyone knows. She’s untouchable. And she’s dating Caleb, the golden-boy hockey forward, building a safe life with him to convince herself she can finally move on from Hunter. Then Hunter walks back into her life. The former boxing prodigy who once dreamed of going professional is no longer the boy she remembers. He’s darker now. Tatted. Pierced. Dangerously confident. And completely obsessed with getting her back. Hunter doesn’t care about her real boyfriend. He doesn’t care how many people are watching. He doesn’t care that Chloe is pursuing Caleb just to move on from him. And he definitely doesn’t care that Elowen keeps telling him she’s over him. A hand at her waist. A whispered threat against her ear. A stolen touch in an empty hallway. A kiss that leaves her furious with herself for wanting another one. The more Elowen pushes him away, the harder Hunter fights his way back in. But Hunter made one mistake years ago: He didn’t choose her when he had the chance. Now Elowen has a new life, another man on her arm, and a heart she claims no longer belongs to him. And Hunter Vance? He’s done asking for permission. Because this time, he’s not walking away without a fight. Not from the ring. Not from Caleb. And certainly not from her.

Delancey Cruz had one rule: Survive senior year unnoticed. Unfortunately, that plan dies the moment Zayden Cole — West Ridge High’s golden boy, basketball captain, and certified academic disaster — is forced into tutoring sessions with her. Now suddenly everyone knows her name. One rumor turns into a hundred. People who ignored her now stare in hallways. Girls hate her. Guys notice her. And Zayden keeps showing up everywhere with that stupid grin and dangerous charm. What starts as forced tutoring slowly turns into late-night study sessions, fake flirting, whispered secrets, jealous fights, and a popularity she never asked for. But the more the school becomes obsessed with them, the harder it is to tell what’s fake… and what’s becoming painfully real. Because falling for the most popular boy in school? That was never part of the plan.

The only way to do that was to end the life of the infamous Mr. Night. But when Eisley stepped into the room to take down the target, something strange happened.
