Bastian (Blackheath Academy #2)

Ava and Bastian muddy the waters while completing their time at Blackheath Academy whilst balancing their own dark familial duties that have a way of bleeding into their new empire they are creating. The question of whether a future is possible for them remains at the forefront of their journey as they navigate social bullying and far darker tactics deployed by the de Trafford patriarch. Family loyalty, legacy and hierarchies will be evaluated and tested, but will their newly minted relationship survive?

Ava

He makes me want more.

Which should be an impossibility. It's a complication I certainly don't need - and yet, it's all I can think about. Such thoughts consume me. But more means sacrifice. More means changing plans. More means revenge, and quite possibly death.

But then, perhaps we need to raze our worlds to build something new. Starting with the woman who birthed me.

Bastian

Happiness used to be something unattainable. An imaginary thing that was fanciful. A dream that would never come to fruition.

But that was before.

Before her. Before Jeff died. Before my entire world tilted sideways.

My father has always destroyed any form of happiness that may have been offered to me. But I refuse to allow him to taint her - refuse to let him rob this future from me with his sadistic ways. Which leaves me with only one option: The de Trafford Patriarch needs to die - it's the only way to protect her and offer us the future we desperately desire.
