The only thing more dangerous than the game is the man guarding the crease. Lyon Navarro has spent his entire career tearing down the San Diego Stormbreakers.

One rule, the golden fucking rule of Apex Crest Academy, don’t get noticed by Knox Cole. The day I broke it, the moment I stood up and defended my best friend. Knox Cole noticed me. I became his target. A possession. Marked by the devil himself. *** Being a scholarship kid didn’t help Finn’s case in a prestigious school like Apex Crest Academy. In a world where money, power and secrets are tools of exchange, Finn finds himself lost, trying to navigate through the tunnels of attention, fame and lust. ​ The plan was simple: get a decree and fight his way into an Ivy League College. But destiny and fate don’t always play by the rules. All it took was a minute of bravery, and Finn was doomed. ​ Knox Cole doesn’t accept escape routes. Hockey captain, an untouchable legacy. Knox doesn’t ask; he takes, controls, and when he is done, he ruins. When Finn stands up to him, challenging his authority, Knox doesn’t destroy. He plots. He watches. ​ The school bends, closing in on Finn, making his world slowly dark. Knox offers a way out, a deal wrapped in danger. ​ How would Finn fight the man who breaks him, yet gives him kisses that make him want to never be saved? When the closet opens, and secrets spill, will Finn stand, or will he run to save the one dream he has always had? ​ Finn must decide: survive the boy that had chosen him, or surrender to something darker, scarier. ​ Because in Knox’s world, love isn’t given. It is taken, controlled.

Now 19, she is back, taller, stronger, but haunted by doubts and the pressure of living up to her former glory.
