Juego Sucio

About this book

Every October, the nation’s elite youth vanish behind the closed doors of an exclusive autumn festival hosted by the mysterious Ikigai fraternity. Within these walls, names, reputations, and moral boundaries dissolve into a chaotic blur of betrayal and dark secrets. It is a place where self-control is forgotten, and the games played are as dangerous as they are addictive. Acker Dvrau knows better than anyone that this world of privilege is a toxic trap. He is determined to steer clear of the lies and the treacherous social maneuvering that define the Ikigai festivities. However, the allure of the competition is impossible to resist when a new challenge arises, pulling him back into the fray. The stakes turn personal when Acker realizes he must navigate the high-pressure environment alongside the one person he vowed to avoid: his ex-girlfriend. Featuring a classic enemies-to-lovers trope, *Juego Sucio* forces these two former flames to put aside their complicated history and form an uneasy alliance. As they play to win, they must confront not only the sinister games of their peers but also the lingering, volatile sparks still burning between them. In a game where everything is at stake, the dirtiest play might just be falling back in love.
