Lina Vance hoards secrets like currency in her underground newspaper, hunting for the one piece of leverage that will break golden boy Elias Ashford. But when she catches him slipping into the abandoned wing to vape—silver cross earring glinting in the dim light—she realizes his angelic mask hides something far more dangerous than rebellion. Now their magnetic loathing draws them into a game where every whispered rumor could either destroy them... or ignite something far steamier.

MEET THE CHARACTERS

Marceline 'Lina' Vance

18 years old, with a thick cascade of dark, voluminous waves that frame her sharp, observant face. She views the world through oversized wire-rimmed glasses that catch the dim library light, her glossy painted lips always slightly pursed in quiet judgment. She hides beneath a dark, slouched jacket that occasionally slips to reveal delicate black lace, moving through corridors like a ghost collecting secrets.

Elias 'Eli' Ashford

18 years old, with an unruly mop of striking silvery-white blonde hair that falls into piercing cool-toned eyes. His features are almost impossibly sharp and angelic—a chiseled jawline and soft features that make him the object of widespread admiration. He wears an unbuttoned crisp white dress shirt with a loosely hanging black tie and a dangling silver cross earring, the picture of a golden boy with something hidden beneath. He gives "boy next door" vibes but is secretly a delinquent underneath his perfect façade. Has secret tattoos.
