She lost her music, her laughter, and every piece of happiness she once carried in her heart. Desperate for a fresh start, Ryan moves from New York to Lakeshore, California, to live with the father she barely knows and the family he's built without her. But no amount of sunshine, therapy sessions, or new beginnings can erase the grief that follows her everywhere she goes. As she struggles with depression and the weight of her mother's death, Ryan finds herself trapped between who she used to be and the person she's becoming. Then there's 𝐁𝐑𝐀𝐃𝐘 𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 Lakeshore's golden boy. The town sweetheart. Rich, charming, and loved by practically everyone. The moment Brady lays eyes on Ryan, he's completely captivated. Maybe even a little obsessed. There's just something about the mysterious girl with sadness in her eyes and walls built sky-high. Unfortunately for him, Ryan's first impression involves slapping him across the face. Most guys would've walked away. Brady King isn't most guys. As Ryan learns to heal and Brady fights to break through the walls around her heart, they'll discover that sometimes love finds you when you're least prepared for it-and that moving forward doesn't mean forgetting the people you've lost.

At Blackthorne Academy, money buys privilege. Power buys protection. And the Sovereigns? They have both. Elena Hart has worked too hard to earn her place at one of the country's most prestigious academies to let a bunch of entitled rich kids ruin it. As one of only twelve scholarship students in her year, she has a simple plan: keep her grades up, make a few friends, enjoy herself occasionally, and graduate with her future secured. Unfortunately, publicly embarrassing Blackthorne's resident queen bee wasn't part of that plan. Neither was Jasper Sovereign. Billionaire heir. Untouchable senior. The unofficial king of Blackthorne and the kind of man who has never been told no without finding it entertaining. He's arrogant, infuriatingly charming, ridiculously attractive, and entirely too accustomed to getting whatever, or whoever, he wants. And for some reason, he's suddenly interested in her. Elena knows exactly what girls like her mean to guys like Jasper. A temporary distraction. Someone to flirt with between parties before returning to their perfectly arranged, ridiculously expensive lives. She's not interested in becoming another name on his list. But Jasper Sovereign doesn't particularly enjoy being ignored. And beneath his expensive clothes, wicked smile, and questionable morals is a man who plays by his own rules. At Blackthorne, everyone knows better than to challenge a Sovereign. Elena apparently missed that particular lesson. ________________________________________ An addictive, spicy, morally gray elite-academy romance filled with old money, jealousy, dangerous attraction, ruthless social hierarchies, and a possessive MMC who isn't accustomed to hearing the word no.

"Having sex won't make me less mad at you," I reprimanded, knowing it didn't matter what I said because I wanted nothing more than for him to make love to me. I wanted to feel his hands in my hair, against my arms and legs, down my hips, the inside of my thighs, gently around my throat, toying with my lips. I needed him to understand and see every inch of my body and then to still crave it. I needed this to go right for once, just to prove to myself the first time wasn't how it's always going to be. "True," He murmured against my ear, sucking a tender spot on my neck, lapping at it as my arms circled his head, pulling at the brunette strands of hair. "But it'll make you appreciate me more." __________________________________ 𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐧 was raised from the ground up knowing nothing but comparison and perfection.

Willow's always been known as the good girl with the wealthy parents who could do no wrong. Little do they know that this seemingly perfect girl has some less than perfect secrets; and the fact that she's been sneaking out past curfew every night since the beginning of summer isn't the worst one. Distancing herself from the people at school has become lonely, but everything changes when a group of bad boys that she meets after curfew one night transfer to her school and begin to take an interest in her; one even more than the rest. But will they be able to protect her when events from her past re-surface and begin to get her into more trouble than she ever wanted? ********************** We were a circuit, electricity flowing through us at every connection, every light touch igniting a heat that was exhilarating but dangerous. Like we could catch fire and burn to the ground at any second. "Did you take your own advice? Did you ever forgive yourself?" I whispered, my words evaporating in the heat around us. He moved towards me, trapping me against the car door as his lips traced over my jaw, down to my neck. "This," he whispered, his thumb tracing the waistband of my jeans, making my breathing falter. "Allowing myself to feel this happiness, to feel you...this is me forgiving myself." He kissed me, calming the raging storm in me and igniting a new one. I wasn't sure which would cause more destruction, but I knew only one had pretty blue eyes and a effortless smile that could convince me it was all worth it. It probably was.
