Savage Rose by Leila James (Paperback)

Welcome to Rosehaven Academy. Savage Rose is the first book in Leila James’s Rosehaven Academy series, a mature new adult high school bully romance.

Xander Grey is the star wide-receiver of the football team. All the girls want him, and all the guys wish they could be him. But behind that untouchable exterior, he’s a savage, the kind of boy who plays with a girl’s heart without a second thought.

Our heroine knows she should stay well away. She knows, too, that coming to Rosehaven may have been a mistake. Yet no matter how hard she tries, she simply can’t tear herself away from him. Because Xander holds the key to everything she’s looking for, and she’s terrified of the truth he’s hiding. As secrets begin to surface within the academy’s polished halls, she’ll have to decide just how much she’s willing to risk to uncover them.

Please note this is a dark, mature new adult read containing graphic content and themes some readers may find distressing; a full list of content warnings can be found on the author’s website. Perfect for readers who love a dark high school bully romance, an enemies-to-lovers slow burn and a story laced with secrets and suspense.
