Avery Sinclair never meant for anyone to find out about Jace. Not her father, not the school, and definitely not the anonymous account that leaked their private conversations to the entire academy overnight. Within hours, the boy she has fallen for is being called a scholarship kid who used her, and the girl who broke every rule for him is drowning in a scandal she never asked for.
Jace Carter has spent his whole life being underestimated. Now he is being humiliated in front of the only people whose opinion never used to matter to him, and the one person who could clear his name is the same person whose family might be behind the leak.
As Avery digs for the truth, she uncovers something bigger than a school rumor. A name buried inside old scholarship papers ties her father, Jace's father, and a powerful board member named Richard Vale to a business scandal from twenty years ago, the same scandal that lines up exactly with the week Daniel Carter disappeared. The closer Avery and Jace get to the truth, the more it looks like Daniel did not walk away from his family. Someone made sure he could not come back.

And behind an old theater on campus, Avery and Jace are about to find a piece of evidence that someone has been trying to keep buried for two decades.
The messages were only the beginning. Step back into Westbridge Academy and find out how far the Sinclair and Carter families will go to keep the past exactly where it is.
