"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.

"You stand in front of that class and call me Mr. Kozlov like I didn't used to fall asleep with your fingers in my hair, baby. Like I don't have eight years of your handwriting memorized on my own skin. You think a desk between us is a wall. It's not. It's a countdown. Grade my papers, professor. Take attendance. Pretend you don't feel me watching you the way I used to watch the door of that church, waiting for you to walk through it. I let the whole world believe I died for you once. I will let this entire academy burn to the ground before I let you convince yourself I'm your student and nothing else. So go on. Write my name in red ink at the top of the page. I'll take every single failing grade you hand me - as long as it's your hand that's shaking when you write it, baby." - Alexei Kozlov To St. Jude's Academy, Alexei Kozlov is exactly what he looks like - golden, reckless, criminally charming, the heir every parent warns their daughter about. To Professor Christina George, he's a ghost sitting in the front row of her first lecture. She built an entire life on the other side of grief, on a promise she swore she'd keep no matter what it cost her. He built an entire life on the other side of a grave, on a devotion that never once asked permission to stop. Some things don't stay buried. Some love doesn't know how to end just because everyone agreed it should. And some students don't take no for an answer - not from their professor, not from the world, not from eight years of silence they never chose. She has one job: survive the semester without letting him find out she never stopped loving him. He has one goal: make her say his real name - the one only she ever used - before the term ends. Every rule at St. Jude's exists to be broken by somebody. Alexei Kozlov has simply decided the rule in question is going to be her. __ "TEACH ME" is Book One of the "ME" Series.(A standalone book)

"You believe silence keeps you safe, Princess. That if you stay quiet enough, the monsters will pass you by. They will not. Because the worst monster in this city has already chosen you. Tell me who hurt you, and I will make them beg for a death I will not give quickly. You are mine now. And I will slaughter every last one of them before I ever let you face the dark alone again. You are the only thing I have ever wanted to keep alive. And I will drown this city in blood before I let anyone take you from me." - Roman Ashford __ To Avery, silence is the only way to stay invisible. She works the lowest post in the Ashford Empire, smiles at everyone, and keeps her real work locked away: the unsolved cases, the cold files, the predators the system let walk free. When she accidentally draws the attention of the man who runs everything, she thinks she has made a quiet, forgettable mistake. She has no idea she just became the singular focus of the most dangerous man in the city. Behind the perfect suits and polite distance, Roman Ashford is the Ghost Prince - the serial killer who has spent years methodically erasing the worst monsters from existence. He does not want her gratitude. He does not want her fear. He wants her complete, quiet understanding. Avery thinks the empire is simply efficient; she does not know Roman is already eliminating every threat that breathes near her. She thinks she is still searching for justice in the dark; she does not know he has been watching her search the entire time, waiting for the moment she realizes the hunter has already chosen his prize. He is not the gentleman the world sees. He is the blade that moves when no one is looking. And she is the only person he has ever decided is worth keeping alive at any cost. ___ "The Ghost Prince | 18+" is the 2nd special edition book in the Princes of Ardencrest Series. {Can be read as a standalone}

You weren't safe. You were bleeding out a map right to my front door. I spent three years awake in the dark, swallowing your words like religion, because you wrote the exact kind of violent, fucked-up madness that already lives in my bones. You didn't invent the villain, Amy. You summoned him. So go ahead. Hide in your quiet little house. Lock your doors. Put a whole ocean between us.
