Anne's life was never hers to begin with. Bound by expectation, trapped beneath her father's empire, and facing an arranged marriage she never chose, she has spent her whole life being exactly what the world demanded: polished, untouchable, perfect. Then Nate Lee steps into her path. He doesn't fear her name. He doesn't obey her world. And with every glance, every challenge, every quiet act of defiance, he makes Anne feel something she has never felt before-something dangerous, addictive, and impossible to ignore. What begins as fascination quickly becomes something far more unsettling, forcing Anne to question everything she thought she knew about power, desire, and herself. Because some people don't break your control. They make you want to surrender it.

The court believed Yi Baek, known as Woran Wang or Nunmeon Wang, was blind to everything-and he let them. It was safer that way. Then Park Seon-in slipped into the royal library in the dead of night, disguised as a maid, stealing books for a brother who still dreamed of serving a country that had already broken their family once. She wasn't looking for trouble. She wasn't looking for him. The third time she came, Yi Baek took the letter she'd left behind-just to see what she'd do. She noticed nothing. Kept reading. Unhurried. Unafraid. As if the palace held no power over her at all. He told himself he was only watching. She told herself she would only come once more. They were both lying. Born into a family that loved recklessly and paid for it, Seon-in knows the palace punishes the heart. Every whispered desire, every stolen glance, can be used as a weapon. Yi Baek knows it too-sees it in her, and in the secrets she doesn't even realize she's leaving behind. In a court where weakness is lethal and curiosity more dangerous than swords, wanting her may be the deadliest choice he has ever made.

A noblewoman marked for death. A vampire assigned to protect her. A masquerade where smiling is the most dangerous lie of all. When Seraphine Valencrest receives a threat on the morning of the ball, she is forced into the arms of a man she does not trust and cannot escape. Watched by the court and hunted in the dark, she must survive a night of whispered lies, stolen glances, and a protector whose smile hides fangs. Smile. They're watching.

As I watch Sloane adjust his buttons on his shirt on the left side edge of the bed, it then makes me realize the situation I had just made for myself. "You definitely suprised me." He says turning around and smirking at me. I blush and pull the blanket closer to my chest. All the years I'd waited for this and now I have no clue what to do. He stands up, grabs his phone off the nightstand, and turns towards me, "You can stay here till I'm back if you'd like. I'd prefer you to stay so we can continue later but that's up to you, Mon Ange." He then leans down to kiss me on the cheek but not before I grab his shoulders and pull him back into bed with me. ---- Charlotte Evans was the girl in high school who was friends with the popular kids but wasn't popular at all.
