𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐭

Book one in 𝐶𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑤𝑜𝑜𝑑 𝐸𝑙𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝐴𝑐𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑚𝑦 series.

𝐌𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐲 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐧 has been shaped by sorrow, growing up in a home scarred by her parents' addiction. Despite it all, she became the light in the dark. After their death, she was sent to live with her wealthy grandparents. Now, ready for a fresh start at college with her best friend, she never expected to meet Hunter-or the fire he would ignite within her.

𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐞 has been shaped by pain, growing up with an abusive, alcoholic father and a stripper for a mother. Fighting was survival, and when his brother tried to protect him by sending him away, he was left to face the world alone. Numb for years, he's forgotten how to feel-until Maddy.

What happens when opposites attract? Will they heal or destroy each other completely, leaving only ruins behind?

Welcome to Crestwood Elite, the world's most exclusive academy, where mafia heirs from across the globe come to master the skills of organized crime.

"I'm not doing anything!" Hunter's rough voice slices through the air. He's right next to me and I can feel his heat. His smell.

𝐌𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬.

"Well, do nothing over 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. Away from me!" I point to a random car, further away from where we're standing.

"And why would I do that?" He lifts a brow, amused.

"Because I can't stand to be in your presence. You make me sick."

He looks taken aback by that, but then his face darkens as he drawls. "You didn't seem to be sick when I had my tongue down your throat last night. In fact, I recall you moaning for more."
