The Devil She Wrote

She walked into his party wearing red. He promised to destroy her.

When seventeen-year-old Summer Savage arrives at the Lancaster estate's annual white party, she knows she doesn't belong. What she doesn't know is that the night her mother's eleven-year affair with Augustus Lancaster explodes in front of two hundred witnesses, she'll lock eyes with his son - and earn herself an enemy she never asked for.

Whit Lancaster rules Lancaster Preparatory Academy the way his father rules everything: absolutely, and without apology. When Summer is enrolled at his school as collateral in a war between their parents, Whit does exactly what he promised - isolates her, humiliates her, and makes certain the entire school knows whose side to be on.

Except that somewhere between stolen journals and library stacks and a Halloween ball that goes dangerously wrong, the line between hatred and something far more complicated begins to disappear.

Summer has spent her whole life watching her mother love the wrong man badly. She refuses to become her. Whit has spent his whole life learning that love is just another word for a weakness waiting to be exploited. He refuses to become his father.

They are both, in their own way, wrong about themselves.

The Devil She Wrote is an emotionally charged, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story about two young people shaped by their parents' mistakes, learning that the most dangerous thing either of them can do is feel something - and the bravest thing either of them can do is finally admit it out loud.
