An enemies-to-lovers dark academia romance set at the elite Scottish academy.
One night was all it took to shatter Olive Henderson's world. After a devastating fire at Dunbridge Academy, her life is left in ruins. Her injuries forced her to repeat her junior year and the future she worked so hard for-her spot on the swim team, her plans to graduate with her friends-has slipped through her fingers. Starting over feels impossible, and Dunbridge no longer feels like home.
Then Colin Fantino arrives. The new student from New York is everything Olive doesn't need-arrogant, guarded, and determined to hate his new life in Scotland. Banished from his former life in the city, Colin wants nothing to do with Dunbridge or anyone in it. But Olive sees cracks in his hardened exterior, and against her better judgment, she's drawn to the boy who seems just as lost as she is.
As their connection deepens, Olive begins to find hope again-hope for herself, for her future, and for the possibility of love. But Colin is keeping secrets, and when Olive discovers the real reason he was sent to Dunbridge, their fragile bond is put to the ultimate test.
Can two broken souls find a way to heal together, or will the weight of their pasts pull them apart?
