Violently Yours

At twenty-two years old, Anastasia Delphine Mourningvale has already become a ghost story whispered through the halls of Ravenhurst University. A gothic gamer girl with a flawless 4.0 GPA, fluent in four languages, and a doctorate concentration in International Cybercrime & Criminal Law, Anastasia is brilliant, beautiful, and impossible to truly know. She spends her nights buried in legal journals and dark online forums beneath the glow of her custom-built computer, keeping the world at arm’s length behind black lace, silver jewelry, and sharp wit. But when she crosses paths with Noctis Lux Devereaux—the university’s cold-hearted basketball prodigy and heir to one of the most powerful old-money families in the country—her carefully controlled world begins to unravel in dangerous ways.

Noctis Lux Devereaux is everything Ravenhurst fears. Quiet. Moody. Untouchable. While dominating the court and maintaining a perfect academic record in Constitutional Law & Legal Philosophy, Noctis moves through campus like a storm wrapped in black designer clothing and silence. He has no interest in friendship, romance, or the people desperate for his attention—until Anastasia becomes the only person who doesn’t fear him. What begins as late-night encounters in forgotten libraries and silent walks across rain-soaked campus grounds quickly spirals into obsession, possessiveness, and a connection so intense it threatens to consume them both. At Ravenhurst, power is everything, and love is considered weakness. Unfortunately for them, neither of them knows how to stop.

But beneath Ravenhurst’s gothic towers and elite reputation lies something far darker than scandal. When Anastasia accidentally uncovers encrypted evidence tied to a secret society operating within the university—one connected to disappearances, corruption, and the Devereaux family name—she realizes Noctis may not be the monster everyone believes he is. He may be the only thing standing between her and the people trying to bury the truth. As their relationship turns violent, addictive, and dangerously intimate, Anastasia and Noctis are forced to decide whether they can survive each other long enough to expose the nightmare hidden inside Ravenhurst University… before it destroys them both.
