Savage Step Bully (The Bully Shame Game #1)
Ruby Harlow

When Hayley Barton is dumped into the icy halls of Atheria Elite Academy, all she wants is to survive long enough to prove she belongs. But survival becomes a blood sport when she’s forced to live across the hall from her new stepbrother—Jenson Davidson—the Academy’s crown prince of cruelty.
He rules Atheria like a dark god in designer threads, and he’s made one thing Hayley’s his new favorite game.
Every hallway becomes a hunting ground. Every whisper of “mouse” echoes with humiliation. And every brush of skin—every look he gives her—blurs the line between fear and a craving she doesn’t dare name.
But Jenson’s not just dangerous. He’s devastating. And Hayley’s not sure if she wants to escape him… or be consumed whole.
This is a dark stepbrother bully romance with psychological torment, intense power dynamics, and high-heat tension. All characters are consenting adults aged 21+. Standalone in the Bully Shame Game series.
