Expected 23 Apr 26She’s the girl with the perfect GPA and the perfectly planned future.
No distractions.
No scandals.
No mistakes.
By day, she’s a straight-A university student competing for the top spot in her program. The only person standing in her way? The campus enigma—wealthy, wickedly intelligent, and notoriously uninterested in commitment. He’s sharp-tongued, serial-dating, and impossible to read. She’s convinced he’s either hiding something… or hiding from something.
By night, she has a secret.
Behind a mask and a pseudonym, she reads stories online for paying subscribers—never showing her face, never breaking character. It’s anonymous. Safe. Controlled.
Until the night the usual male narrator doesn’t show.
His replacement steps in.
And the voice on the other end of the microphone feels far too familiar.
When a campus blackout forces them into close quarters during a joint presentation, they recognize each other at the same time. Her secret life collides with his—and suddenly everything shifts.
Because what she doesn’t know is that his family owns the platform she works for.
And he’s been working undercover inside his father’s company to expose a trafficking network hiding in plain sight.
Now someone is watching her.
She thinks it’s him.
It isn’t.
The real threat is closer than either of them imagined—someone trusted, someone brilliant, someone who has been studying her far longer than she realized.
As danger tightens around her, the campus bad boy she never trusted may be the only one who can protect her.
But falling for him could cost her everything—her reputation, her future, and the illusion that she was ever in control.
