Savage Rites – Synopsis

 

 

Welcome to Blackwood University, where the tuition costs a fortune, but the secrets cost your life.

        

I thought a scholarship to the country’s most elite university was my ticket out of the shadows. I was wrong. I didn’t just walk into a school; I walked into a lion’s den. And sitting on the throne is Niccolò De Luca.

        

Nico is beautiful, brilliant, and brutal. 

        

He is the heir to the most powerful crime syndicate on the East Coast, and he runs this campus like his personal kingdom. He breaks hearts, he breaks bones, and now, he’s decided to break me.

        

Not because I’m the scholarship case. But because he knows who I really am.

        

I am the daughter of the man who stole millions from the De Luca family and vanished. Nico intends to use me to lure my father out of hiding. His plan is simple: torment me until I break, make my life a living hell, and keep me under his thumb until the debt is paid in blood.

        

But the line between hate and obsession is razor-thin.

        

When his torment turns into possessiveness, and his taunts turn into touches I can’t refuse, the game changes. I was supposed to be his pawn, but I’m becoming his weakness. Now, with a rival family closing in on campus and my father’s enemies circling, Nico has to make a choice:

        

Hand me over to settle the score… or burn the world down to keep me.

 

      

 “You think you can hide from me in the library, little mouse?” Nico whispered, his breath hot against the shell of my ear as he pinned me against the stacks. “You are living on borrowed time. And unfortunately for you, I’m the one collecting the interest.”
