He makes the rules. She was never going to follow them.

At Larkin University, Grant Hollis has everything: money, influence, and the power to make people regret crossing him.

Sadie Mercer has a scholarship, a sharp tongue, and absolutely no intention of bowing to the campus's most arrogant golden boy.

When Sadie publicly challenges Grant's plans for a historic university building, he decides to teach her a lesson. Her reputation becomes collateral damage in a ruthless game neither of them is willing to lose.

But behind closed doors, hatred isn't the only thing burning between them.

Grant wants control. Sadie refuses to surrender. And the attraction they shouldn't feel threatens to become far more dangerous than their rivalry.

Because some rules are made to be broken.

And some betrayals can't be undone with a kiss.
