A swoon-worthy and angst-filled forbidden romance about star-crossed lovers at an elite boarding school, perfect for fans of Maxton Hall and Eden Falls. From the author of YA sports romance sensation Rival Darling.

Passion. Anger. Fire.

All these feelings are burning inside me.

Noah Hastings has taken our families’ feud too far, and the divide between us is now so firmly cemented there’s no going back.

I’m trying to move on, but it seems Noah has only just begun toying with me and my heart.

He still has more secrets, and he’s not the only person hiding something from me. But as I dig deeper, and the truth is finally revealed, I’m torn between the boy I thought was in my past and the one I believed was my future.

I’m facing heartbreak once again, but there’s an even bigger threat on the horizon that I could never see coming — one that could ruin us all.

Sweet Ruin is the third book in the Weybridge Academy series and the final part of Isobel's story, which comes to a complete and dramatic conclusion.
