Cruel Desire is a scorching enemies-to-lovers college romance packed with secrets, power plays, and an irresistible bad boy who always gets what he wants... until her. Eros is untouchable—the arrogant, all-star quarterback of Columbia University, born into wealth and worshiped like a god. But beneath the fame and flawless smirk hides a bastard son desperate to prove he belongs. His world is built on control, and when he discovers the quiet maid's daughter has a secret that could ruin them both, he sees an opportunity. Jade has spent her life keeping her head down and her past hidden. Living in the house her mother cleans, she's learned to stay invisible. But when Eros corners her into a dangerous bet, she finds herself entangled in a game she never agreed to play—with her heart on the line. He wants revenge. She wants freedom. Neither expected desire to get in the way. One cruel deal. One toxic attraction. One love that could ruin them both.
