Falling for my Best Friendβs Bully
βI should hate you. I have every reason to. But I canβt stay away, and I donβt know if that makes you my salvationβor my undoing.β
Ellie never expected to see Aiden Hartley againβthe boy who had made Noahβs life a nightmare. When he disappeared after high school, she thought she could leave the past behind. But then, on her first day of college, she finds him sitting in front of herβNoahβs new roommate.
This Aiden isnβt the same. Heβs quieter, harder to read and maddeningly protective, but thereβs an edge to him that makes her hesitate. Ellie wants to hate him. She should hate him. But something in the way he looks at her pulls her in, and despite herself, she canβt shake the pull.
As Ellie unravels the truth about her parentsβ murder, sheβs dragged into a dangerous world of secrets, betrayal, and violenceβsecrets Aiden may be hiding from her.
With danger closing in and nowhere left to run, Ellie must decide if Aiden is someone she can trust, or if heβs just another piece of the darkness that threatens to consume her.
Some loves are born from hatred. Some betrayals cut too deep. And some truths are better left buriedβbefore they destroy everything sheβs fought to hold together.
