In the rigidly ranked kingdom of Illyria, Allegra Christine is a Rank Five singer from the lower districts-talented, defiant, and quietly in love with Max, a Rank Six laborer who repairs the machines that keep the capital running. Their relationship is a secret, fragile thing in a world that punishes crossing rank lines. When her name is drawn in the televised Selection, Allegra is thrust into the opulent, shadowy palace to compete against thirty-nine other girls for the hand of Prince Wayne-and the throne beside him. What begins as a glittering cage of etiquette lessons, candlelit libraries, and constant cameras quickly becomes something far more dangerous: a battleground of loyalty, desire, and rebellion. As rebel attacks grow bolder and the kingdom's injustices become impossible to ignore, Allegra is forced to navigate three impossible choices: the prince who sees her, the lover she left behind, and the future she might be able to change-if she dares to reach for it. A dark academia reimagining of a royal competition, blending slow-burn romance, political tension, forbidden longing, and the question of whether love can ever be stronger than duty-or rebellion. (Perfect for readers who love The Selection, The Cruel Prince, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and Red Rising with a heavier dose of gothic atmosphere and moral complexity.)

Polina has spent her life hiding her extraordinary strength and abilities, terrified of being mistaken for a vampire-the very creatures blamed for her childhood friend's death and the reason her village drove her away. Now nineteen and alone, she receives an unexpected invitation to Chestnut Academy, a secretive night school warded against true vampires and werewolves, a place that promises safety and understanding for those with unusual gifts. There, she meets seven captivating students-Lucian, Zane, Calix, Dax, Rook, Colt, and Daven-who share a mysterious, magnetic pull toward her. Each man carries his own hidden power and shadowed past, yet they surround Polina with unwavering friendship, gentle care, and a devotion that grows deeper with every shared moment. As the group grows closer, ancient rivalries between vampires and werewolves begin to resurface, drawing Polina into a dangerous world she once fled. Whispers of prophecy and power swirl around her, with both sides claiming she belongs to them. But Polina's heart has already chosen-and the bond she forms with her seven may be the only thing strong enough to protect them all. A tender, steamy reverse harem romance about healing from trauma, discovering love in its many forms, and choosing your own destiny against impossible odds.

In the Lunar Harmony Academy - the first university ever built on the Moon - students from every planet in the system arrive with their own gravity, their own atmosphere, and their own way of being loved. Moon-born Selenians, mercury-slick Mercury children, radiant Venusians, rust-shouldered Martians, massive orange Jovians, golden-ringed Saturnians, storm-listening Uranus-born, deep-ocean Neptunians, twilight-dappled Pluto-kin, and ordinary-curious Earth humans all live and learn together beneath transparent domes and regolith spirals. What begins as a place of cautious coexistence slowly becomes something more: late-night conversations in hydroponic gardens, sparring matches that turn into touches, shared silences on crater rims, accidental intimacies in zero-gravity labs, and the slow, breathtaking realization that love doesn't need to obey planetary rules. Some fall fast and burn bright. Some circle each other for years before colliding. Some discover that one heart isn't enough to hold everything they feel. Through rivalries, homesickness, stolen moments, desperate couplings, tender rebuilds, and quiet promises made under Earthlight, the students of Lunar Harmony Academy learn the same truth again and again: Even on a world with no air, no water, and almost no mercy, love is stubborn enough to create its own gravity - and once it does, nothing in the solar system can pull it apart. A collection of interconnected erotic & romantic short stories about connection across impossible distances, different temperatures, different gravities, and different ways of being alive.
