Malena Amin is living two lives.

At home, she’s a respectable daughter: pre-med, a perfect student, and following the
future her controlling family has planned. But at prestigious Winchester University, she’s
the adventurous woman she wants to be. With parents who demand to know her
location at all times, Malena uses a secret phone and bank account to make her double life possible.

When her tutoring job falls through, that independence is suddenly at risk.

The prize money from a journalism competition could be the answer, but her covert
investigation into Winchester’s elite secret society comes with one major obstacle:
Conrad Hastings. Rich, charming, and far more interested in parties than studying or
taking his place in his family’s media empire, Conrad is already in hot water with his father.

So, Malena proposes a bargain: she’ll share the byline on the story so Conrad can appease his family if he’ll give her access to the secret society.

Between lavish parties and Gothic libraries, they’re drawn deeper into the university’s secrets. Together they uncover a centuries old art mystery—and an irresistible chemistry that’s becoming impossible to ignore. As Malena’s carefully constructed double life begins to crumble, she’ll have to decide:

Is love worth risking everything for?
