Campus Claim

Amber was supposed to be choosing her future. A college tour. A few campuses. A chance to imagine a life beyond the house she has never truly felt safe in. Blake was only supposed to drive her. Her big brother. Her protector. The boy who watched every smile she gave someone else like it was a betrayal. The boy who had always wanted too much, held back too long, and finally snapped when another man put his hands on what Blake already considered his. After one brutal night, Amber is left with two options: stay close, stay his, and let him decide what her future looks like — or force him to make sure she can never leave at all.
