The next dark and sexy romantic suspense novel from the USA TODAY bestselling author of Unteachable, praised for its โlush, haunting prose, deft storytelling, and scorching sensualityโ (M. Pierce, bestselling author of the Night Owl trilogy), and called โone of the best forbidden romancesโ (Lauren Blakely, New York Times bestselling author).
Love is not a thing that we create. Itโs an undoing.
It only took one moment of weakness for Laney Keatingโs world to fall apart. One stupid gesture for a hopeless crush. Then the rumors began. Slut, they called her. Queer. Psycho. Mentally ill, messed up, so messed up even her own mother decided she wasnโt worth sticking around for. If Laney could erase that whole year, she would. College is her chance to start with a clean slate.
Sheโs not looking for new friends, but they find her: charming, handsome Armin, the only guy patient enough to work through her thorny defensesโand fiery, filterless Blythe, the bad girl and partner in crime who has thorns of her own.
But Laney knows nothing good ever lasts. When a ghost from her past resurfacesโthe bully who broke her down completelyโshe decides itโs time to live up to her own legend. And Armin and Blythe are going to help. Which was the plan all along. Because the rumors are true. Every single one. And Laney is going to show them just how true. Sheโs going to show them all.
