SHE WAS NEVER YOURS

Adrian Vale is used to getting what he wants. Rich, ruthless, and terrifyingly charming, he rules St. Augustine’s Academy with a calculated smile and an iron grip. Everyone knows better than to cross him—until a new transfer student arrives.



Rhea Virelle is quiet, unreadable, and cold as glass. She doesn’t chase power or popularity. She doesn’t flinch when Adrian looks at her. She doesn’t care that the entire school revolves around him. In fact, she barely acknowledges his existence.



That’s what makes her dangerous.



Intrigued turns to obsessed as Adrian tries to unravel the mystery behind her emotionless mask and haunting eyes. She’s not like the others—because she’s not here to belong.



She’s here for revenge.



Every move she makes is part of a plan. Every glance, every silence, every word is calculated. And Adrian? He’s not the predator anymore. He’s the bait.



As secrets unravel and power shifts, the lines between love and hate, obsession and possession, begin to blur. But one truth remains:



She was never his.

And trying to own her might just destroy them both.
