They hate each other in the light. They devour each other in the dark. Aria thought moving into the Mercer mansion was her chance at a new life. She didn't expect Rafe-her new stepbrother, the golden boy of Crestwood Academy, and the most infuriatingly beautiful disaster she's ever met. At school, he's the ice-cold hockey captain who trips her in the hallways and looks at her like she's dirt. He's arrogant, cruel, and determined to make her life hell.
But at home? The rules don't apply. With only a thin wall separating their bedrooms and a shared bathroom that feels like a danger zone, the tension is unbearable. Aria hears him through the wall late at night. Rafe watches her when he thinks she isn't looking. Every accidental touch scorches through their skin. Every shared glance lasts a second too long. It starts with a fight. It ignites with a challenge.
And it explodes the moment the door locks behind them. Now, they're playing a dangerous game. In the hallways, they're enemies. Behind closed doors, they're an addiction neither can quit. It's toxic. It's forbidden. It's the kind of chemistry that threatens to burn their whole world down. But when you crave the thing that ruins you... how do you stop?He says he hates her. So why does he whisper her name like a prayer when he's inside her?
