But when Reya uncovers a buried secret, her entire world shifts... Giovanni isn't her biological father. As Reya digs deeper into her past, questions about who she is and where she truly belongs threaten to consume her. The man she thought she knew suddenly feels like a stranger.

With her biggest performance yet just weeks away, a performance that could secure her spot at an elite ballet academy, Reya is desperate to hold herself together. But the pressure is real, and the intense demands of ballet only amplify her struggles with self-image and an eating disorder. Caught between the family she's always known, the mystery of her past, and the expectations she places on herself, Reya must find the strength to confront the truth and redefine what family, identity, and self-worth truly mean.

His need for her intensifies. Skylar can feel it, and with temptation thick in the air, she no longer knows how to stay away- even if staying away was the only thing she was ever supposed to do.

"Tell me about Luna Salvatore." In a police interrogation, Orion is forced to recall the story of the girl he believed saved him - the girl he followed, watched, and loved, until the truth began to surface.

They called her a mistake. They called him a monster. Princess Ariel Ravenspire was born of forbidden passion - the bastard daughter of a king who cannot bear to look at her and a mistress long since forgotten. In the court of Elarion, she is a ghost draped in silk, invisible except when her half-siblings need a target for their cruelty. They've spent years trying to break her and snuff out the gentle fire that burns within her chest. But Ariel refuses to become the villain of her own story. Where they offer hatred, she gives grace. Where they see weakness, she harbors an unshakable strength. Across war-torn borders, in the shadow-draped Kingdom of Umbrahal, Crown Prince Caden Valtara is the nightmare that haunts the wicked. They call him the Demon Prince - a title he's earned with blood and brutality. Ruthless to his enemies, merciless to the corrupt, he moves through the darkness like vengeance incarnate, dismantling trafficking rings and crushing those who prey upon the powerless. The aristocracy trembles at his name. The common folk whisper prayers of gratitude. He is judge, jury, and executioner - and he has never apologized for the monster they've made him. When two kingdoms exhausted by endless war finally seek peace, the price is steep: a royal bride to seal the treaty. Ariel, the unwanted princess, becomes the sacrifice - a lamb offered to the demon. She expects death, or worse. He expects a fragile, terrified girl who will cower in his presence. But neither expects to find, in the person they were taught to fear, the one soul in all the realms who truly sees them. She was raised to be forgotten. He was born to be feared. But some bonds are forged in fire - and no kingdom can stand against them. A demon feared by all. A princess loved by none. Tropes: Only soft towards her Insta Love (INSTA) Arranged Marriage (forced) Love at first sight Villian mmc (kinda?) Touch her and die 🤭 HEA
