Storyline
After being publicly humiliated and betrayed by her long-term boyfriend Nathan, quiet, academically driven Megan Winslow thinks her life has hit rock bottom until a late-night assault nearly costs her everything. She’s rescued by Cole Trump, a reckless, magnetic bad boy hiding a dangerous secret: he’s the son of the California governor.

What begins as a reluctant roommate arrangement strict rules, no feelings, no crossing lines—quickly spirals into a volatile mix of attraction, jealousy, and unspoken loyalty. As Megan undergoes a dramatic transformation and reveals her true identity as the heiress to the powerful Winslow Group, she becomes the target of political conspiracies, hired killers, and social sabotage.

Caught between a possessive ex who refuses to let go, a ruthless school power structure, and a boy willing to take a bullet for her, Megan must choose whether love is worth the risk especially when falling for Cole could destroy both their futures.
