Being Caleb Danvers’ girlfriend came with secrets, ones you had learned to carry in silence. You knew about the Sons of Ipswich, about the magic they guarded, and about the one name that made Caleb’s jaw tighten every time it was spoken: Chase Collins

You never expected to see Chase again. But one afternoon on campus, you did. His smile was sharp, his words smoother than you remembered, his presence magnetic in a way you hated to admit still got under your skin. You told yourself it was nothing—you loved Caleb, you’d chosen him—but Chase had always known how to slip past your defenses

And then it happened

He stepped closer, too close, his voice low as he whispered things you shouldn’t want to hear. Before you could pull away, his lips pressed against yours. And the worst part? You didn’t stop him

Neither of you noticed the figure across the street, standing frozen by his car. Caleb had just been on his way to class when his world came crashing down. His girlfriend. His enemy. Together
