Instead, she hands it to Rhys Caldwell, the new, untouchable heir to a tech empire. He reads every page out loud, including page three. Now he has copies, and he has terms. One semester as his assistant. No complaining. Her secrets stay private. Then her mom moves them into the house of a man called David, and the boy holding her letter hostage is suddenly down the hall. He makes her coffee exactly the way she likes it. He knows when she hasn’t slept. He puts a hand on her back the second anyone else gets too close. But David isn’t his father. Rhys’s real father is a billionaire who calls at midnight, sends men in gray suits to watch the school, and already knows Nova’s name, her mother’s two jobs, and the secret she has never told anyone. Then Camille arrives. She’s Rhys’s ex, a billionaire’s daughter, and the sweetest face in the building. Teachers adore her. Students worship her. And when the bathroom door locks and the phones come out, nobody believes Nova. Now Nova is hiding bruises under long sleeves and lying to the one person who would burn the world down for her. Rhys always gives her time. But he won’t wait forever. He said it was blackmail. He never said it wouldn’t be dangerous to fall for him.
