Corrupt by Eve Newton

St. Augustine’s isn’t just a university. It’s where legacies are built, alliances are forged, and the people at the top make the rules, long after graduation.

They blocked me from St. Augustine’s once, but eight weeks after my father’s death, the gates opened, and my transfer into final year sailed through like it was always meant to happen. The Callaghan name still belongs here, no matter how many people want it erased.
My father is gone, the old order is shifting, and a legacy seat on the Board has opened—one that controls the ruling Houses and everything they touch.
The problem is, the most dangerous men here don’t hunt alone—and they’ve noticed me:

Aidan O’Connell: charm as a weapon, strategy as a religion.
Cormac Byrne: feral devotion with a short fuse
Declan Finnegan: the calmest threat in the room.

My dangerous allies. My leverage. My inevitable undoing. The kind of men who don’t tolerate anyone else laying a hand on what they want.

At St. Augustine’s, nothing is accidental—especially my admission.
The closer I get to my father’s vacancy, the more the institution pushes back. And when it does, it won’t be subtle. They think this place will corrupt me. They’ve got it backwards.

Because corruption isn’t my downfall.
It’s my birthright.
