Necessary Cruelty : An Enemies-to-Lovers Standalone Romance

Will he save me or break me?

Vin Cortland is the crowned prince of Deception High. He is beloved by his subjects and ruthless with his enemies.

We used to be friends, once. Not anymore.

It's no secret that he hates me, but only the two of us will ever know why. And the guilt of what I've done makes me hate myself more than he ever could.

Except love and hate are two sides of the same coin and both will make you burn.

Then he comes to me with a proposition: one fake marriage in exchange for enough money to finally escape this town and leave the past behind me. The offer is hard to refuse and Vin is used to getting what he wants.

I want to know why me, but I won't ask for his secrets when it means revealing my own. He is the best and worst thing that has ever happened to me. My savior and my destruction.

It's a deal with the devil.

I'll let him take my hand in marriage.

The only question is whether or not he also gets my soul.
