Thorne Briar, ruler of the school, keeper of underground secrets, marks me as his the instant the rumors start, but it’s not to protect me. No, he wants to punish me for being here, wrap fear around my neck until I run, and smile while he chases me down.
My aim was to blend in, get the grades, stay busy with extra-curriculars, all while pretending my own problems weren’t blowing up behind the scenes, but Thorne makes it impossible.
The only way for me to survive is to find out what dirty little secrets Thorne keeps to himself. To do that, I must follow him into the darker corners of the academy, the place where they make college hazings look like child’s play.
I watch the pleasure spark in his eyes as he does it. The joy he has over bringing pain.
What makes me most ashamed is … I like watching him.
If I’m not careful, Thorne will capitalize on that curiosity, and he will squeeze my heart until it bleeds.
THORNE is a dark high school bully romance containing mature themes such as bullying, enemies-to-lovers, and intense, potentially triggering, situations meant for 17+. It ends on a cliffhanger.
