Details
Her only chance of survival lies with Edmund Prew, a powerful and ruthless high-citizen student she's been warned against. His family has been locked in a bitter feud with Loredana's for years, and he wants nothing to do with her until a lost bet forces him to protect her within his inner circle. What begins as a scandalous, strategic alliance turns perilous as they fall for each other. Because the man Loredana killed was more than an average high-citizen.
