Renegade Rose by Leila James (Paperback)

From Leila James comes Renegade Rose, the ninth book in the Rosehaven Academy series and part one of the dark, angst-filled, plot-twisting finish to the saga.

Nate King is a fallen football star from the wrong side of town, and he despises the girl he believes our heroine to be. They’ll call her a renegade for wanting him anyway, but want him she does, even knowing he can’t begin to understand what being with her would truly mean.

Because her secrets are dark, and the damage runs soul-deep. She’s spent so long carrying it all alone, certain no one could ever really see her. But maybe, just maybe, Nate will be the one to save her, if only he can look past who he thinks she is to find the girl beneath.

As long-buried truths edge closer to the surface, everything is about to come to a head in Rosehaven.

Please note this is a dark, mature new adult read containing bullying themes, is not a standalone, and ends on a cliffhanger. For full impact, read the Rosehaven Academy series in order. Perfect for readers who love a dark enemies-to-lovers high school romance, an angsty slow burn and a story steeped in secrets.
