Rhys Keller

There's a name that's echoed in your head since you were born: Rhys Keller. You, trained to kill. To kill him. And him? Rhys, trained to torture. To torture you. Ever since you were teenagers, Rhys has always looked for ways to ruin your life. He caused the boy you were going to prom with to have an accident. He started a fire at your mansion on your birthday. He rigged your exams so you'd fail. And you didn't hold back. If he tortured you, you made it worse. You wrecked three of his favorite cars. You got him suspended for a semester. And you threatened him with a gun. The latter became commonplace between you as the rivalry only escalated. The tension. The clashes that turned into attacks. The hidden desire. Worst of all, your families were in cahoots. But since Grandpa died... they all started a war over the inheritance. A war that the two of you represent. But... can war be stronger than love?

You've never liked charity galas. Elegant dresses, all-seeing eyes, hidden romances, and criminals hiding behind savior masks. You're no savior, but apparently your family wants to appear that way. And there are the Kellers. With their impeccable suits and smiles. With their perfect son.

They don't get along. Rhys will do everything he can to provoke her, but he would never hurt her, even when everyone is urging him to.
