"I told you I'd put you back in your fucking place. When I'm done with you, I promise there won't be an ounce of fight left in your body. I can't wait to see what it looks like."
I messed up. I should have hit him with my car that night. For two years, my stepbrother and his friends have made my life hell. The innocent, naïve girl I was when I first arrived in Aurora Cove is nothing but a distant memory. I've done what I had to do to survive, and it changed me. Unfortunately, some things never change. West Pine University was supposed to be different. Instead, I ended up right back where I never wanted to be again—at Elias's feet, begging him to save me. But Elias's help comes with conditions. I'll be indebted to all of them—Dax, Nolan, and Elias—without limits. And if I don't do what they want, they can take it back at any time. Dax wants to make me weak for him. Elias won't stop until he breaks me. And Nolan… I don't think he wants anything. I don't think there's anything left behind his dark eyes. Still, I need them. If anyone finds out what I did, my life is over. And someone knows. I'm being followed, watched. They're the only ones who can keep me safe. But their brand of salvation is going to ruin me, too.
