In Cold Blood: A Dark Academia Romance

Species decipit (lat.) The first appearance deceives many. But it didn't fool me… or so I thought. From their low voice to their deep gaze, Xavier Blake is everything I need to avoid. My academic rival. My brother's best friend. My boyfriend.

His mind games – I can survive. His lies - I can see. His secrets - I know he has them. But the night we shared was not something I anticipated. It turned my world on its axis, and I can't see a way out. And then, just like that, my life depends on him. A dark fairy tale is coming true.

Questions plague my ending... What hurts the most? The lie? The deed? Or the love?
