Now she's here, at Bayshore University, without her family's protection. There's nothing to stop us from getting our revenge on her, no one to tell us enough is enough. And so my brothers and I have devised a plan. We'll break her, have her falling at her knees for us in no time, and then we'll send her back to her family with a warning... Cross the Bishops again and you'll pay. HARLOW. I've despised the smug, stupidly gorgeous Bishop Brothers since I was a small child.

All I wanted was to enjoy college and move on with my life. But your past can never stay hidden, right? When the Bishop Brothers turn up at my school I have no place to run. I know then they'll make certain I pay for every single bad-mouthed remark I or my parents ever made about them. At Bayshore, I'm at their mercy and they won't stop until my heart is a bleeding mess. ***This is book one of a trilogy. Story included triggers. Readers discretion is adviced.***
