Sid  Leclair  doesn’t beg, bend, or break. She doesn’t ask for permission — she inherits power and watches the world shape itself around her last name. Daughter of Richard  Leclair , the man billionaires fear and governments don’t say no to, Sid walks through life like she owns it.

Because in most ways, she does.

So when a newly hired professor at her elite university dares to call her out — publicly, sharply, without flinching — she doesn’t know whether to be offended… or intrigued.

Theo Arden is brilliant, principled, and frustratingly indifferent to who she is. He sees through the designer armor, the biting sarcasm, the curated chaos — and still doesn’t care. After an explosive confrontation in class, he gives her detention.

Every day.
Alone.
With him.

It’s supposed to be punishment.
But it becomes a standoff.

The more they clash, the more the heat builds. Between whispered insults and loaded silences, something forbidden simmers in the air — something dangerous enough to ruin them both. Because Theo may be the only person who’s ever told Sid no… and the only one she can’t stop thinking about.

Power. Pride. And a pull neither of them can escape.
In a world where everyone plays games, they might be each other’s only truth — and their greatest downfall.

For the guilt, the pull, the silent stares.


Because every kiss felt like a confession.


For Sid's inherited power and her breaking free.
