At St. Edmund's Royal University in England, only the wealthiest and most brilliant students earn a place. Future CEOs, politicians, surgeons, athletes, and billionaires study here under intense competition. Alexander Ashford, 21, is the university's untouchable king. Born into one of Europe's richest families, he has everything money can buy: a private mansion with indoor and outdoor pools, cinema, gym, luxury garages filled with supercars and motorcycles, private security, helicopters, and countless servants. With striking bluish-green eyes, golden-blond curls, and a model-like face, he's admired by everyone but feared even more. Cold, arrogant, intimidating, and emotionally distant, he pushes people away before they can leave him. His billionaire parents are almost never home, leaving him to grow up surrounded by wealth but completely alone. Then comes Valeria Castillo. She moves from Spain to England alone after being accepted into St. Edmund's. Equally wealthy, her family owns an international business empire. Her mansion rivals Alexander's, complete with luxury cars, a private gym, theater, pools, and staff. Despite having everything, she rarely sees her parents, who constantly travel overseas. Valeria is breathtakingly beautiful with fair skin, chest-length honey-blonde curls, bangs, large light hazel eyes behind elegant glasses, and effortless confidence. She dresses with quiet luxury as if she owns every room she enters. Fluent in ten languages, academically gifted, physically strong from years of weightlifting, karate, and self-defense, she has won numerous national martial arts medals. Being the mysterious new foreign student makes her an easy target. Popular students begin bullying her, believing she's just another spoiled rich girl. They quickly regret it. Valeria never starts fights—but she always finishes them. She protects students who can't defend themselves and earns both admiration and enemies across campus. Alexander watches from afar. She's the first person who isn't afraid of him. When dangerous criminals begin targeting wealthy students through kidnappings, blackmail, underground fighting rings, and corporate conspiracies connected to both their families, Alexander and Valeria are forced into an uneasy partnership. Their rivalry slowly becomes friendship. Friendship becomes trust. Trust becomes love. Together they'll uncover secrets powerful enough to destroy their families—and risk everything to protect each other.
