She's the heir to the Parker-Myers' Computer manufacturing and design enterprise but unlike so many other heirs, she wants her own business degree first before taking over such a global enterprise. Age eighteen, Melanie enrols in a Business engaging Academy two hours from home. Like any other school, there is an elite. A dynamic group that entangles with Melanie's life, in more ways than one. But, like all schools, this Academy has secrets, it holds lies so dark, most would turn away, lead a blind eye to the viscous and vile forthcomings that Melanie refuses to let go. Scandals and gossiping secrets would have been typical and easy to unwind, to solve...but when a hierarchy higher than the teenagers of the school folds into place...Melanie is in more danger than anyone would have thought possible. And, Edmund Creed, the lead of the Elites, will stop at nothing to find out why his sour lemon...finds herself in such reckless situations that he struggles to save her from a danger he too, is only now learning after Melanie Myers stepped into his life. His cold heart was falling for the sour lemon who thinks acting detective in this new world is a good idea. Read to find out why this cold heart of his...is always running for the sour lemon he cannot get enough of.

Maximus' POV of The Lone Dove: #2 Maximus Myers, a treasure to the Queen City High School, his own parents attended and fell in love. His mindset was not a mirror image of his father's, being a businessman was not his main goal when his mother, Annalisa Myers, the dark swan, would tell him stories of finding his one true love. He didn't believe in the whole Prince Charming way of finding his Cinderella and he'd never tell anyone, he'd rather be broke but, happy and in love than watch another student down the swept of every speck of dust hallway. He'd still receive gushing looks from many girls, but, every time he'd look into their eyes, hoping to find something that would give him warmth, only to be left stared at because of the suit on his back, the money in his overloaded pockets and the title of his heart, but, no warmth. All until the moment, the one girl he'd die for, he'd cherish to the ends of the world and he didn't even know it yet. His friend, Ivan Torres made the right decision in coming back early from France, Maximus hadn't yet known why. Now, all he ever dreams about, what his every thought is consumed of, the dangerous little blonde, who at first glance, her sharp forest emerald gaze, set fire to his everything.

The Lone Dove #1 Love and Trust are two very important ideals, but what happens when the moment you lose the two most important people in the world and are left with an inheritance, and a company you find you cannot trust anyone else with. That is Poppy Parker's predicament. My predicament as a teenager that breaks tradition at Queen City high school, both a shadow and the subtle centre of attention. That was the dangerous part. My inheritance placed me in the most precarious of positions, finding managers to trust, finding school to be complicated and not for the tasks at hand, but because my closest friends knew next to nothing about my family. The Parker name. Its a common name, a common label...not a title, not a legacy. I am the last legacy, it's my birthright to live up to this name. The Elite at this high school find her shadows worth following, worth connecting with, worth trying to understand...that is the last thing she wanted. I'm a private person, I was raised to be that way. My best friends were always kept at an arm's length, only told what they needed to know, not all that they could know. The Elite interfere with this line of safety. What happens when they get too close? What happens when my shadows reveal my secrets, making my friends question my absence at school, my authority over professors, and my power over the elite themselves? It all burns down in flames.
