Dark academia isn't the aesthetic. It's the cover-up. He controls the door; you control the evidence that can destroy him....
The vault door slams shut as Rhea Voss trays a bloody match stem—and Knox Hale cuts the lights, overrides the sprinklers, and takes away her only exit. For forty-eight hours, she is trapped with the man whose family could burn her evidence to ash. He controls the lock, the armed crew waiting beyond it, and every breath of heat in the sealed room; she controls the evidence that could destroy the Hale empire. Every demand becomes a harsher contract, every refusal tightening the space between them, until the arson heir confesses the truth he has told no one but her. He was supposed to be her enemy—but protecting her may be the one thing that gets them both killed. When the vault finally opens, will Rhea surrender the evidence and save herself—or use Knox’s door code to expose the fire that made him?
