She didn't ask to be here. A scholarship girl with no connections, no money, and no clue how she ended up at Royal Elite University—a world of mafia heirs, secret societies, and old money that treats outsiders like dirt. He didn't ask for her. Jeremy Volkov is the cold, untouchable head of the Heathens. He has everything—power, money, and a toxic, all-consuming relationship with Cecily Knight that everyone watches like a trainwreck. He's not looking for anyone else. He doesn't even see her. But when a lost scholarship student stumbles into his world, she becomes an inconvenience he can't shake. She doesn't bow. She doesn't run. She doesn't want anything from him—except directions. And that—more than anything—is what unsettles him. Caught between his destructive love for Cecily, the rivalry between the Heathens and the Elites, and a girl who refuses to be intimidated, Jeremy finds himself torn. Because the one thing he never expected? Someone who sees him—not the Volkov name, not the mafia heir, not the monster. But falling for her would mean letting go of Cecily. And letting go is the one thing Jeremy Volkov doesn't know how to do.
