Austin

Dashwood Academy is a necessary evil. I learned that early on.

If I play their game and learn my role, when graduation comes around, I’ll be set for life. Exceeding all the dreams a guy like me ever had—even if that means living a life that goes against everything I am.

But then Garrett Close enrols at Dashwood and I can’t stop thinking about him. Wanting him. Watching him …

And hating him for being the one person who can ruin everything.

I don’t know what it is about Austin du Pont but he acts like king of the academy. Too good for the rest of us and not ready to spare me a second glance.

Not that I should be worrying about a pretty boy with dead eyes.

Dashwood is my ticket to a degree from an internationally-revered college. To the kind of high profile life my parents never got to lead.

So why can’t I stop thinking about Austin?

And why does he keep popping up in the most random places?

All I know is the closer Austin and I get, the more I start to doubt Dashwood Academy is the simple college it pretends to be.
