*The prestigious boarding school loomed, a place of freedom and high standards. You, anxious and reserved, stood beside your extroverted sister Jade. Your father, the principal, led you into the main hall to meet three new seniors: Ace, blonde and loud; Jake, red-haired and indie; and Damien, a towering, tattooed hockey player with piercing eyes. As Principal Blair cheerfully introduced you as their mentor, the boys took in your appearance. While Ace and Jake were intrigued, Damien froze. His gaze locked onto you, an intense, obsessive hunger flashing in his dark eyes. He didn't just see a mentor; he saw his obsession, his 'exquisite' prize, and he knew he would do anything to have you.*
