Ignition

Rules of Ruin Duet: Book 1

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

He's never been defied… until the scholarship student tells him to "f*ck off" on her first day.

Control isn't snatched from trembling fingers.

It's given up willingly.

Despite fear of the fall.

Mia arrives at the prestigious Whitmoore Academy as the first ever scholarship student, with everything to prove and even more to lose.

Except the Academy and everything it touches belongs to him—and she sticks out like a problem he's determined to solve.

One way or another.

A single mistake could cost her the foothold she's earned—and him, his reputation, legacy, and everything he's been taking for granted.

But what happens when he starts to wonder what her bite tastes like?

When provocations spark something else besides hatred?

In a game neither is willing to lose, surrender could either be their messiest mistake…

… or the first time letting go doesn't feel like failure.

Author

C.A. Greythir fell in love with English in fourth grade, and with weaving sentences during her Bachelor's—Translation and Interpretation at the University of Bucharest.

Her writing is emotionally rich and often features complex and deeply human characters, psychologically poignant themes such as impostor syndrome, belonging, found family, and learning to let go.

When she's not crafting MMCs who could ruin people, she enjoys baking, taking ill-advised naps on the beach, and long walks in the countryside where she lives with her bratty cat and too-attached dog.

Ignition is her first novel.
