Scarlett Wallace has hated me since the moment we met.
Fine—feelings are mutual.
When she transfers to Shadow Valley U, her dad’s brilliant idea has us living under the same roof as newly minted step-siblings, and she becomes impossible to ignore.
Too stubborn. Too tempting. Too off-limits.
When I mess up with the wrong crowd, they demand repayment. And unfortunately, they decide Scarlett is the perfect leverage.
She deserves a fresh start after what happened at her last school… Instead, she gets me—her stepbrother. The guy who can’t stay out of trouble…and can’t stay away from her.
Protecting her means crossing every line.
Wanting her means destroying the rest.
