Cole Covington is the golden-armed quarterback adored by everyone yet utterly impervious to charm—until he enlists Sawyer Church, the curvy, sarcastic, Bible‑thumping outsider, as his fake girlfriend. What starts as a calculated ruse soon unravels as both masks and guarded hearts begin to crack under the weight of hidden pain, forging a connection that proves even broken souls can find a way to heal together.
She returns to finish her senior year at Royal Hearts Academy only to find her childhood best friend—her first crush and first kiss—transformed into Jace Covington, a cruel and beautiful tyrant determined to make her life a living hell. Dylan must refuse to bow to his rules or his glorified crew—because she never was the kind of girl who plays by anyone’s script.
I’m the whispers in the dark you can’t ignore. The bully you can’t run away from. He’s the vicious step‑brother next door who knows all your secrets—and he’ll stop at nothing to make you pay in this taboo, dark bully romance set at Black Mountain Academy.
