In Torrent Bay, whenever it rains, it pours. We were Torrent Bay Academy royalty. But the king is dead, and now every pretty thing we had is broken. Gunnar Rayne. Heir to the biggest financial empire in the state. Smart, handsome, charismatic. And my best friend. Or he was. My most powerful ally has become my most devastating enemy. Devious, manipulative, cunning—it figures that the only thing in this world he can’t stand is a liar as good as him. Without our friendship, nothing is off limits anymore… Nothing.

A storm is coming to Torrent Bay… And that storm is me. Ransom A year in lockup did more than mess me up—it took away my soul. This town will pay for what it did to me, and nothing is getting in my way. Not even her. If her sweetness and innocence is all an act, I’ll expose it. And if she thinks I’m a demon, I’m sure as hell going to prove it. \\\* Hero He took two things from me: My deepest, darkest secrets, and my first kiss. Now he’s threatening to take a whole lot more. He thinks I’m a good girl, and he’s right—I am. But when it comes to defeating this beautiful, broken boy … … I know I’ll do whatever it takes. \\\* \*Notes: This book is a touch darker than the previous book in places. If dark bully themes are not for you, please be cautious. This is a full-length standalone novel, but it contains heavy spoilers for the previous book and will be much more enjoyable if you read that one first and introduce yourself to these characters!\*
