"Date me." Two words. One deal. And just like that, my revenge begins. He owns the school. I just survive in it. Matt was supposed to be my best friend—my safe place, my maybe-someday. Until he chose her—the girl who's bullied me for being poor, curvy, and invisible since day one. Now he's dating her. And I'm done being the background girl. Then comes Lucien Knox Ravenscroft—danger in a tailored uniform, son of a trillionaire, and the academy's dark prince. He's her ex. The one she dumped. And nobody dumps him. Especially not for someone like Matt. So when Lucien offers me a deal—a fake relationship to make them both pay—I say yes. He wants revenge. I want Matt to regret every choice he's ever made. But then comes the bet. If Matt notices me again, I win—and Lucien will help me ruin her. If not… I'm his. The whole school is watching. My father works for his ruthless family. My mother's addiction is a secret I can't afford to expose. And Lucien? He doesn't play fair. He doesn't play gentle. And the more we fake it, the more real it feels. This isn't love. This is war.
