The Bully's Flame (Sterling Heights Academy #2)

She was his secret. He was her ruin.

Nora Kane has one survive her senior year at Sterling Heights Academy. As a virgin Omega hiding a dangerous secret, she knows invisibility is her only shield. She’s on the run from a past that nearly destroyed her, and the elite, cutthroat halls of SHA are the perfect place to disappear. But when a chance collision puts her in the path of the academy’s king, her carefully constructed world begins to crumble.

Gideon Rex is the possessive, ruthless Alpha who rules the campus. He’s used to getting whatever he wants, and the moment he catches the faintest, forbidden scent on the terrified transfer girl, he knows he wants her. Her fear is a puzzle he needs to solve, her secret a prize he's determined to claim. He doesn’t just want to know her secret; he wants to own it.

He'll use blackmail, humiliation, and relentless psychological warfare to strip her bare. He’s a bully who has found his perfect target, and he plans to break her down piece by piece until she confesses everything. But he doesn't expect the defiant spark in her eyes, or the way her body betrays her with a fire that matches his own.

He set out to ruin her, but in the ashes of her old life, a dangerous flame ignites between them. And when an Alpha like Gideon claims his Omega, the whole world will feel the heat.
