The Weight of His Name

By Madison Brooks

Elena Reyes earned her place at Halston University. Julian Halston was born into his. She arrived with two suitcases, a scholarship, and a promise to her family that she would make every sacrifice count. He arrived with a legacy so old and powerful his last name is carved into the stone above lecture halls, libraries, and scholarships she'll never qualify for. From the moment they meet, Elena knows exactly what Julian represents: entitlement, influence, and every invisible rule designed to keep people like her grateful for scraps. Julian barely notices the resentment at first-until the girl who refuses to be impressed becomes impossible to ignore. When a prestigious campus project throws them together, Elena uncovers evidence that Halston University's celebrated legacy was built on quiet theft from the very students it claims to uplift. Julian is forced to choose between protecting his family name and standing beside the one person willing to tell him the truth. They were never supposed to trust each other. They were definitely never supposed to fall in love. But some legacies deserve to be broken.
