Broken by My Bully (Lessons in Cruelty Dark Academia, #1)

He taught me how to bleed. I taught myself to bite.

Three years ago, my father dragged me out of Agony Hollow in the middle of the night. No goodbyes. No apologies.

Now I'm back on a scholarship, risking everything for a chance to finally, finally fix my shitty life.

Day one, I catch the attention of the two most dangerous men in school.

An old friend. A new predator.

Kai Jordan isn't the same green-eyed boy who escaped with me into the woods behind our trailer park. The boy I used to trust with my life now wants me on my knees, begging for mercy...and him.

Professor Bastian Rooke is a different kind of dangerous. He loves fattening up his prey before killing them. Nurturing. Pretending to care.

I don't even feel his claws sinking into me until I'm already bleeding.

One expects me to break. The other hopes I run, so he can give chase.

What they don't know is Haven Lee has many talents. Enduring pain and degradation is top of the f*cking list.

I didn't come back to Agony Hollow to bleed. I came back with a plan.

But Rooke isn't only hunting me. Kai can't see the trap closing around him — but I can.

I need to convince him we're not enemies...we're both prey.

But Kai spent three years hating me.

He's not ready to stop teaching me lessons in cruelty yet…and he may never be.

A dark why-choose MMF college romance. Childhood friends-turned-enemies, a professor with a pitch-black heart, and a fierce, damaged heroine who discovers that sometimes the only way to survive cruelty is to embrace it.

Book one of the complete Lessons in Cruelty trilogy by USA Today bestselling author Logan Fox.
