Poison Touch by Kela Marq

I made three crucial mistakes on my first day at Monarch University:

1. I thought my plan for revenge would be simple.
2. Underestimating Ledger Hunt—the ruthless king of Monarch.
3. Believing I could control my desires around him.

Ledger Hunt is everything I should hate: dangerous, manipulative, and the key to uncovering the truth I’ve been chasing. But every time our paths cross, something shifts. His stormy eyes watch my every move, daring me to get closer, tempting me to trust him when I know I shouldn’t. He’s after something—something more than my secrets—and I can feel his pull, like gravity dragging me toward a collision I’m not ready for.

He plays the part of the predator, but there’s a war behind those eyes, a hunger that goes beyond power. He wants me. But if I fall into his arms, I risk losing everything. I have to make him pay for what he took from me before he takes my heart, too.
