A Bully's Thorn (Sterling Heights Academy #1)
Allia Rose

Lila Voss is a ghost. A scholarship student hiding a rare and shameful secret, she walks the hallowed, ivy-covered halls of Sterling Heights Academy with one to survive. If she can keep her head down and her dangerous Omega condition hidden, she can earn the future she’s fought her entire life for.
But her plan for invisibility shatters the moment she captures the attention of Caspian Holt.
Cruel, ruthless, and devastatingly beautiful, Caspian is the undisputed king of Blackthorn, an Alpha heir who delights in breaking those he deems beneath him. And he has decided Lila is his new favorite toy. He sees the secret she guards so fiercely, and he becomes obsessed with tearing it from her, piece by humiliating piece.
When he discovers the truth, he uses it to chain her to him, forcing her into a dark, twisted game of submission and control. Every command, every degradation, is designed to break her spirit. But in the charged darkness of their forced proximity, the lines between hatred and desire blur into a dangerous, undeniable passion.
Just as their toxic battle of wills threatens to consume them both, an even greater threat Caspian's powerful father, a man who would rather destroy Lila than see her tarnish the family name. Now, Caspian and Lila must make an impossible cling to the worlds they've always known, or sacrifice everything for a fragile, uncertain future together.
