Dear Reader,

You want my advice? Never look a gift horse in the mouth. You don’t want to see the rotten teeth.

In this case, the gift is a scholarship to attend the prestigious Neveah University. The rotten teeth? Well, they came in the form of my brand new stepbrother and his little cohort of entitled, arrogant best friends. Four dangerously handsome and stupidly wealthy men who made up their minds about me long before we met. Men who are used to getting everything they want no matter the price.

I was a big girl; I could ignore them. Then came the secret society hazing. Kidnappings. Crazy parties. Insane stunts. Mindblowing prizes. Even so, I could handle myself...until the secret and stolen moments I shared with men I had no business falling for. It was enough to give a girl nightmares.

Because, dear reader, this was only the beginning of my ordeal with the Devil’s Backbone Society. How do I know?

I read about it...

Sink your teeth into a brand-new dark academia series from Tate James, the master of romantic suspense.
