Breaking Ace - Jessamyn St. Claire

All Victor Torres wants to do is to graduate from a prestigious school and take care of his struggling mom. But upon his arrival to Fairchild University, Victor is thrust into an unfamiliar world where wealthy young men take part in an annual game of hedonism and humiliation.

The stakes are high.

The prizes are tempting.

And Victor wants nothing to do with it. That is, until his mom finds herself on the verge of homelessness. With no other choice, Victor joins Breaking Ace, a dangerous game that threatens to break the barrier between his future and a past he'd rather forget, but with the promising reward of a million dollars to end his mother's suffering if he wins.

The biggest obstacle standing in his way: coming face-to-face with Alexander Fairchild, the sadistic upperclassman who is just as hellbent on winning Breaking Ace. Alexander has something to prove, and he's not afraid of using every inch of his body and every tool at his disposal to break Victor down and steal the win for himself.

Can Victor endure the game and come out victorious? Or will he break under Alexander's cruel and punishing challenges?
