A bingeable dark college romance featuring a chilling cat-and-mouse suspense subplot from Italian bestseller and BookTok sensation Kira Shell.

Recently arrived in New York for college, Selene Anderson moves in with her estranged father and his new wife's family. Neil Miller is the eldest, a fascinating and enigmatic young man, constantly battling a dark past that gives him no respite. As a moth to light, Selene is captivated by Neil. Their mutual passion is explosive, and she's willing to do anything to break through the walls Neil has built around his heart.

But Neil is not able to open up to anyone, not even to Selene. He suffered devastating abuse as a child, and considers himself to be too damaged for a wonderful woman like Selene to love. Then, there's Player 2511—a stalker tied to Neil's past who is looking for vengeance against him and his family. With his riddles, threats, and attacks, the ruthless stranger drags Neil into a wicked and dangerous game that he will try to win at all costs, sparking a relentless struggle between them. At the mercy of Player 2511, will Neil lose everything, including Selene?
