The second heartstopping book in the elite boarding school forbidden romance series from the author of the best-selling Darling Devils

Description

Secrets. Lies. Betrayal.

I've only been at my exclusive new boarding school a few weeks, but I've already encountered my fair share of each.

The truth about my upbringing is out, I'm starting to learn more about my family's past, and I finally know why my long-lost father warned me to stay away from Noah Hastings.

It's clear now that Noah and I can never be together. But my heart doesn't seem to care. The boy is everywhere I look. Taunting me. Toying with me. Tempting me – and he's not the only one.

Surviving my senior year at Weybridge Academy is going to be even harder than I thought.

Prepare for swoon-worthy moments, dramatic twists and characters you'll fall in love with in this contemporary teen romance set in the elite world of Weybridge Academy. This is the second part of a three-book series and ends in a cliff-hanger.

Also in the Weybridge Academy series: Sweet Heartbreak, Sweet Ruin

Passionate kisses and swoon-worthy romance
