I have a Post-it note for every lie I’ve ever needed to tell.

Post-it #1: I’m not falling for Quinn Ozler.

Post-it #2: The Ozlers had nothing to do with my mother.

Post-it #3: I can survive the truth.

All are peeling.

All are lies.

Quinn Ozler is everything I swore to avoid: a billionaire heir, dangerous, untouchable, and impossible to stay away from. He looks at me like he can already see through every lie I’ve built my life around.

I’m a scholarship pre-med student barely holding my future together. He is the one risk I cannot afford to take.

But I didn’t come to Pritzker just for medical school. I came for answers about what really happened to my mother twenty years ago. The deeper I dig, the more every secret leads back to the Ozlers.

Then a warning lands in my hands:

Stay away from the Ozlers. You won’t survive it.

The closer I get to Quinn, the harder it is to hate him. And the more I start to wonder if falling for him isn’t the danger everyone warned me about.

Maybe it’s the reason I’m still alive.
