Ruthless Rose by Leila James (Paperback)

Welcome back to Rosehaven Academy. Ruthless Rose is the third book in Leila James’s Rosehaven Academy series, and the first in the Micah and Daphne duet.

Micah Robertson is a talented tight end on the football team, and a boy who plays the field like nobody’s business. He’s ruthless, the kind of guy who takes exactly what he wants and rarely looks back. So there’s simply no way he could want our heroine the way he claims he does. After all, as far as she can tell, she’s less than nothing to a boy like him.

And yet, somewhere along the way, Micah steals her heart entirely. Now he holds all the power, and with it, the ability to break her completely. As his true intentions blur and the line between cruelty and something far more tender grows harder to read, she’ll have to decide just how much of herself she’s willing to risk on a boy like Micah Robertson.

Please note this is a dark, mature new adult read, and the first book of a duet that ends on a cliffhanger. Perfect for readers who love a dark high school bad boy romance, an enemies-to-lovers slow burn and all the angst of hearts on the line.
