Hunt the Heir

Kieran Rourke has one job at Bellhollow College: get close to Tobias Kestrel, break him, and go home to a debt-free life. He was chosen for it because he's a scholarship kid nobody watches and because he's good at being needed. Tobias Kestrel has one problem: a dying father, a family that wants a different heir, and a roommate who's obviously a liar. He lets Kieran stay close anyway, because a liar you know about is better than a traitor you don't. Blackmail becomes partnership. Partnership becomes something neither of them will say out loud. Then the vote is called early, and every quiet thing they built becomes a weapon in someone else's hands. One of them will have to admit what he wants before the other one can survive it.
