Knox Ashcroft. One of the so-called gods of Hatherley Hall. He's everything I despise—a spoiled, arrogant, lacrosse-playing rich boy. From the moment we met, he made it clear that the loathing was mutual. I don't belong in his world, and he wants me gone. Too bad for him. I'm not leaving until I get what I came for. Everyone has skeletons in the closet, right? I'll uncover his. I just have to make sure he doesn't discover mine.

Roman Cavendish. The bad boy of Hatherley Hall. Once we were friends. Once I thought I meant something more to him. Once I was the person who knew him best. Until I left without an explanation, ruining everything between us. Now, I'm back, but Roman is no longer the boy I once knew. He hates me, and he's determined to make my life miserable. Then one night alters everything between us, and I don't know where to turn or who to trust. Is Roman really my enemy? Or is he on my side?
