Misconducts & Temptation by Heather C. Myers

She was supposed to be a means to an end. Now I’ll burn the whole world down to keep her.

Keaton
I was born into power. Raised to obey. Groomed to inherit an empire I never wanted.
My father thinks he controls me—thinks I’ll marry the woman he chose for me. A woman who betrayed me with my best friend and my cousin. A woman I wouldn’t touch if she was the last person on earth.
I need an out.
And then there’s Elodie Winters. The scholarship girl. The nobody. The perfect way to piss off my father and blow up his perfect little plan.
Marrying her is supposed to be a rebellion—nothing more. I never expected to get possessive. Never expected to care.
But when people come after her to get to me, all bets are off.
They want to use her as a pawn?

Fine.
I’ll show them what happens when someone tries to take what’s mine.
Elodie
Crestwood Academy was supposed to be my fresh start—a place where I could finally focus on my future. Not get tangled up with the school’s most infamous hockey player.
Keaton is trouble. Arrogant. Reckless. Everything I should avoid.
But when my stepmother decides my future for me—an arranged engagement to a man I barely know—Keaton is the only one who sees the cage closing around me. And when he makes me an offer I can’t refuse, I have to decide:
Do I let him claim me to escape one prison, knowing he might become another?
Or do I risk losing the only person who’s ever fought for me?
