(Pearl Palace Series #3) [18+] One bullet changed everything. Divina De Guzman expected nothing more than a routine assignment--snap the photos, file the story, go home. But in the aftermath, she crossed paths with a man whose world was nothing like hers: quiet, powerful, carefully guarded. And since that day, something about her has kept his attention and intense gaze. She feels it when he speaks. When he watches. When he falls silent and the air tightens around them. She doesn't know why. But she knows one thing: there is something in him that should terrify her, and yet it draws her in all the same. DISCLAIMER: The story is written in Taglish.

Inside every room she leaves behind, a gruesome canvas of posed corpses awaits the FBI. And at the center of each crime scene sits a single golden apple, carved with a promise: From the fairest. FBI profiler Paris Van Pelt is the only one capable of deciphering the killer's twisted mythology. He's trained to hunt monsters, but he isn't prepared for Hera Carrington. She is a billionaire heiress, a socialite, and a goddess in her own right. She's also Paris's prime suspect. Hera is too untouchable for the law to bind, and too captivating for Paris to resist. As they engage in a lethal game of cat and mouse, Paris realises he isn't just trying to solve a murder-he's deciding whether to bring a killer to justice, or fall to his knees before her.

Welcome to Billard Academy, where old monarchs are still in power, aristocrats rebrand themselves as old money, and the secrets and intrigue are as thick as the ivy on their ancient walls. Corin Clarendon, descendant of a broken royal line, is the only child and daughter of the Chairman. Clarendon Industries should be hers. But the rules of succession only bow to a male heir. The rule is simple: whichever boy at Billard graduates at the top of the class wins the Clarendon empire, and Corin's hand in marriage. The legacy heirs-Rothwell, Ascor, and Vandercourt-are already circling like sharks, hungry for her inheritance. They want a queen to command. They don't realize Corin isn't interested in being a wife. She's planning to be king. Then there's Lucien Green. To the elite, he's just the scholarship kid from nowhere. But Lucien is a man with a leash around his neck. Sponsored by a shadow with a lethal agenda, he's at Billard to do more than just study. Armed with an eidetic memory that makes the "top boys" look like fools-and a way of looking at Corin that makes her blood run cold and hot all at once. He's the only one who might be more dangerous than the men trying to ruin her. Only one can win. And no one must fall in love. #boardingschool #heirs #succession #rivalstolovers #inheritance #steamyromance [updates every Wed or Thu]
