Sweet, ambitious, and studious, Davina Benoit has spent her whole life overshadowed by her older sister. Pressured by her parents to follow in her footsteps, Davina enrolls in Rutherford Academy - a prestigious University, where students are classified into rigid categories, meant to define their roles in relationships. Determined to prove herself, Davina cheats on the category placement test, but she soon realizes that her deception has led her somewhere she doesn't belong. Relentless, fierce, and driven, Matthias Laurier has spent years burying his true self beneath a carefully crafted persona. He has no interest in attachments, especially not with someone like Davina-who, unbeknownst to her, is his perfect match in ways neither of them understand. As their connection deepens, Matthias is forced to confront the side of himself he has sworn to keep hidden. In a world that demands labels, can they embrace who they really are before it's too late? The slow burn is burning at a medium heat, so all I ask is a little bit of patience, but if you want to get straight into it, go to chapter X Trigger Warnings * DDLG | BDSM * Physical and mental abuse * extensively written sex scenes Once again, this is a BDSM/DDLG book, if you aren't familiar with those terms, I strongly dissuade from reading With love, Sophie

"I-I don't know," I admitted, my voice shaky. "I haven't done that before." "You haven't done..." Kalle's voice trailed off in surprise. "I've had sex before," I clarified quickly, not wanting them to get the wrong idea. "Just... not like this. Not with three men. I've only ever had one partner." I added, embarrassment crept into my voice as I looked away. "Come here." Mac pulled me from Kalle's hands, wrapping his arms around me. His body was solid, steady, making my head spin even more. "How about we give you a little preview," he murmured, his lips close to my ear, "and you decide for yourself if you want to keep going?" *One cabin. Three dangerous men. Nowhere to run.* Trapped in an isolated cabin in the Arctic, Murphy never expected to share her stay with three dangerously irresistible men. What was supposed to be a solo retreat to reclaim her independence turns into something far more intense when she crosses paths with Viktor, Cormac, and Kalle-three men with secrets as dark as the endless winter nights. Their presence is overwhelming, their intentions unclear, and their heated gazes leave her breathless. But there's more to them than just temptation. Something lurks beneath the surface-something lethal. And as the northern lights dance above them, Murphy must decide: Is she in danger, or has she just stumbled into the most thrilling risk of her life?

Sophia Honey never expected college to mean sharing an apartment with her childhood nemesis. ~~~ Freshman Sophia Honey never imagined her brother would stick her with Theo Gray-his best friend and her childhood nemesis-as her roommate. But things get complicated fast. Theo, with his shirtless mornings, flirty remarks, and those intense stares, pushes all of her buttons. Just when Sophia thinks she can handle their awkward living arrangement, she discovers he's not just popular-he's one of the hottest seniors on campus. And as the star of the hockey team, his status skyrockets, forcing her to tread carefully around him to avoid drama. But drama comes knocking When Sophia lands a side gig with the seniors in her photography department to make some extra cash, she doesn't expect her first assignment to be Theo Gray shirtless in front of her camera. She definitely doesn't expect him to say yes with that smug grin-and one condition. What he wants in return? Not money. Something else. Something dangerous. As the photo sessions begin, so does the unraveling. Their banter becomes charged. His touches linger. Her defenses slip. And then one night-when he comes home drunk, eyes glassy, words slurred but honest-he breaks every version of him she thought she knew. Gone is the boy who annoyed her growing up. This Theo is raw. Complex. Broken in places she never noticed before. And now she wants things she's never dared to want. His kisses. His hands. His body-yes-but also his secrets, his pain... him. What started as a paycheck becomes a dangerous line they can't stop crossing. And the more she sees him, truly sees him, the more she wonders- What if falling for Theo Gray was the real assignment all along? Book cover done by Lady_whistleup

In which I fall in love with my brother's best friend. ***** "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ***** I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as I step into my university life, I realize how wrong I was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as I stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, MY nightmare. Calm down, heart. Our story hasn't even started. ***** THE SPENCERS SERIES BOOK #1 © 2020 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.

Scarlett Sovanna doesn't have time for nonsense-especially not the kind that wears a backwards cap and throws parties on Tuesday nights. As a dedicated ballerina at a top-tier arts college, her world revolves around perfect pirouettes, brutal rehearsals, and keeping her spot in the program. There's no room for distractions. Especially not him. Elliot Sinclair is college royalty-the star quarterback with a devil-may-care attitude and a line of admirers trailing behind him. He lives for the game, the thrill, and the spotlight. He and Scarlett couldn't be more different... except for one inconvenient truth: their families are practically intertwined. When Scarlett's dorm situation turns into a nightmare, the Sinclairs offer Elliot's guest room to her. Sharing a space with the person she finds most insufferable on campus? Not ideal. But as the walls come down, so do their assumptions about each other. What starts as chilly silence turns into heated banter. And somewhere between late-night talks and stolen glances, feelings develop. She's all discipline. He's all chaos. Together? They just might fall into something real.

ABOUT: Arden Ashbourne is a college student with a secret - by day, she's the top of her engineering class. By night, she dances under neon lights to survive. Her world is sharp, hungry, and unforgiving. Elias Carrington is untouchable - a wealthy, quiet pre-law student who moves through life like nothing can touch him. Cold. Controlled. Until her. What begins as glances turns to gravity. He watches her like she's art. Touches her like prayer. Loves her like ruin. But love like this doesn't come clean. It's messy. Raw. Slow-burning and soul-consuming. She was never meant to be his salvation, but now he can't breathe without her. And when he has her - in his arms, on his face, wrapped around his heart - he doesn't hold back. This is not a story of perfection. This is a story of what it means to be wanted in your entirety - bruised, beautiful, and burning. Mature. Obsessive. Intoxicating. This is worship dressed as love. ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ "You," he growled, backing me into the wall just inside the loft and pressing his body hard against mine, "are the hottest, smartest fucking girl I've ever met." I was giddy, breathless, already burning. "Elias-" "Who's my smart girl?" he whispered against my ear, his breath hot, his hands already sliding under my shirt. My entire body lit up. The compliment. The heat in his voice. The sheer ownership threaded into that question. "I am," I gasped. He pulled back just enough to look at me, eyes blazing, jaw tight. "Say it again." "I'm your smart girl," I whispered, flushed and aching. "Damn right you are." He kissed me then-hard, hungry, lips claiming mine with heat that melted straight down my spine. My back hit the wall with a soft thud, but I didn't care. I couldn't think. I could barely breathe. His tongue slid into my mouth, and I moaned into the kiss, hips rocking against his without meaning to.

Cal Jackson's new life as a rockstar fails to account for one thing: the existence of the girl he loves. ***** "What are you thinking about?" she asks. "A song," I say. "A new song." I stare at the ocean as I sing the song that I wrote, something that comes from the darkest place of my heart. "Do you even know how gifted you are?" she whispers. "You're destined to be someone big, Cal." "Really?" "Yeah." ***** She's perfect in every way. Beautiful. Smart. Her bright future is right there in front of her eyes. While here I am. Ruined. No college, let alone a future. Just an image of a wannabe rockstar with tattoed arms and an old guitar. I knew that our story would be no less than that tragic Romeo and Juliet shit the moment I laid my eyes on her, but still, I can't resist her. The moment she whispers my name, "Cal," I lose all sanity. She becomes my melody, my lyrics, the song that keeps echoing in my ears. People call her Mia. I call her my Amy, her name crafted above my beating heart, tattoed on my skin. Amelia Davis is my girl. Mine. And only mine. ***** THE JACKSONS BOOK #1 © 2021 Anya Jayvyn. All Rights Reserved.
