Description

The brand-new dark academia romance from #1 Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author Devney Perry.

Welcome to Clarence Manor, where the secrets of the filthy rich never stay hidden for long.

Prestigious Aston University is filled with students from wealthy, influential families. But on this campus, the true currency isn't money. It's secrets. And with more to hide than anyone else, the three women of Clarence Manor are among the richest of them all.

Cassia came to Aston to escape the demons of her past.

Elora hides a shattered spirit behind the façade of an ice princess.

Ivy masks the pain of her mistakes with effortless beauty.

All three of them want the skeletons in their closets to stay buried. But love has a way of dragging secrets into the light, and when each woman meets a man determined to win her heart, there's no such thing as a hidden past.

The question is: who's hiding the darkest truth?

Step through the gates of Clarence Manor and judge for yourself...

About the Author

Devney Perry is a Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author. Born and raised in Montana, she loves writing books set in her treasured home state. After working in the technology industry for nearly a decade, she abandoned conference calls and project schedules to enjoy a slower pace at home with her family. Writing one book, let alone many, was not something she ever expected to do. But now that she's discovered her true passion for writing romance, she has no plans to ever stop.
