"Ruby Bell thought that she and James Beaufort had something special. She's never had such strong feelings for someone. And after his betrayal, she's also never felt this much hurt. Ruby just wants her old life back before she knew anyone at Maxton Hall, before she knew James. She used to be able to rely on her studies to keep her focused, but school is no longer a refuge-not when she sees James everywhere. But she has to stay on track, especially with university looming over them and the uncertainty of what the future holds. Despite everything, Ruby wants to support James as he struggles with his father's expectations of him taking over the family business. But she makes one thing very clear: she is not willing to forgive him or give him a second chance. As love and hate compete for Ruby's heart, James will try everything he can to win her back"-- Provided by publisher.
