They say your first love leaves a mark.

For Calliope James it didn't only leave a mark, it tore out her heart and left it bleeding on the ground.

He was her best friend.
Her first kiss.
Her everything.

Until one day, he wasn't.

Zachary Messiah will never forget the girl with eyes the color of whiskey. But he's not that boy anymore.

Cold.
Cruel.
He's devoid of emotion.

Their paths were never supposed to cross again. But love doesn't always play by the rules.

Now he's the King of Steinbeck University and she's the new girl on campus ... and the pasts they have fought so hard to bury are about to collide.

Only this time, they might not survive the fallout.
