Wicked Lord: A Fake Dating Dark Romance

By Ember St. Vincent and Sienna Cross

Stonewall University breeds monsters.
Some hide behind cruelty. Others hide behind a smile.

Axel Vanderhart is the one everyone loves. Star quarterback. Golden boy. The Lord who knows how to charm a crowd and make them believe he's one of the good guys.
But beneath that easy smile is a secret dark enough to shatter him.

When my family tries to sell me to a depraved man who sees me as property, I strike a deal with Axel. He needs to make his ex jealous. I need an escape.

One fake relationship.
One summer pretending to be hopelessly in love.

It should have been easy.

Instead, Axel becomes my safe place. The person who stays when everyone else leaves. The one man capable of breaking down every wall I've built.

The only problem?
The lies start feeling real.

And someone in the Serpents & Daggers has noticed.

Now Axel has a choice.
Save himself...
Or protect me and lose everything.

At Stonewall University, secrets are lethal, and even the sweetest Lord has demons lurking beneath the surface.

Axel Vanderhart was supposed to save me.
But I might be the one thing that destroys him.

A dark, steamy fake-relationship college romance with secret societies, dangerous secrets, forced proximity, and a golden-boy hero who falls first and would burn everything to protect her.
