I've always been "the quiet, nerdy girl." The girl with her nose buried in a book, the girl people barely notice. But my world is a lot more complicated than it seems. You see, I'm absolutely, hopelessly in love with my best friend, Logan Reyes-the bad boy everyone wants but nobody can quite hold onto. And he has no idea. Logan and I have been friends forever. We banter, we laugh, and we're close. But to him, I'm just Emma, the girl he'll confide in about everything-except his new flings, like Vanessa, the school's reigning queen bee. She's got her sights on Logan and everyone knows it. Meanwhile, Logan and I share this strange, unspoken chemistry that I can't ignore, even if we act like it's no big deal. But everything changes the night I get roped into a game of spin the bottle at Vanessa's party. When the bottle lands on Logan, he kisses me in front of everyone-and suddenly, it's like I'm seeing Logan in a whole new light, and he's seeing me differently, too. Now he's paying me attention in a way that's unsettling, thrilling, and absolutely forbidden. And just when I think I can ignore it, Logan begins pursuing me-unabashedly, against all the rules he's lived by and despite his so-called girlfriend's wishes. Now, I'm caught in a whirlwind of gossip, jealousy, and emotions I can barely handle. Logan's breaking his own rules for me, and the harder I try to resist him, the more I find myself pulled back. But when we're toeing the line between friendship and something much more dangerous, my heart-and his-are on the line.

The Blackthorn Academy is a private boarding college for the children of high society-heirs of corporate giants, European aristocratic families, politicians, and celebrities. Despite growing up in a single-parent household, Andrea Riley worked tirelessly to secure a coveted scholarship, earning her place at the academy with hopes of a brighter future. The academy's mission is to prepare its students for admission to the world's most prestigious universities, but the social environment among its students trains them for the harsh realities of life-realities the academy's leadership remains blissfully unaware of. At Blackthorn, a student's social rank isn't determined by their family's influence or the number of zeroes in their bank account but by a high-stakes card game held at the start of every semester. Andrea has no choice but to participate, as refusal means being automatically assigned the role of the class scapegoat. When she receives her role, however, she unintentionally captures the attention of the Sinclair brothers - heirs to a powerful arms manufacturing empire with operations frequently linked to the mafia. Andrea didn't plan to let romance distract her from her studies and dreams of success, but everyone at The Blackthorn Academy knows damn good at least this one thing: when one of the "kings" wants something, he always gets it.
