(BOOK 1 Of the QUEENS OF CHAOS SERIES) Isa Valen doesn't believe in restraint. Two weeks ago, she did champagne, a sinfully accented stranger, and a night so consuming she ran before sunrise. She doesn't remember his face. She doesn't remember his name. But her body remembers the way he made it burn. When her sister runs to New York, Isa follows without hesitation. New city. New job. New distractions. Then she meets her boss. Erik Orlov. Billionaire. Bratva Don. A devastatingly gorgeous tattooed man built from control and violence wrapped in tailored suits. The first time he looks at her, something tightens in her chest. The first time he steps close, her pulse betrays her. She doesn't recognize him. He recognizes the curve of her mouth. The sound she made when he touched her. The way she ran. The night she can't remember is the one he hasn't stopped replaying. Now she works beneath him - in his office, in his space, in his world. Every glance lasts too long. Every accidental touch feels deliberate. Every breath between them feels charged. And Erik Orlov does not chase. He claims. Enemies circle his empire. Loyalty fractures. Power shifts. But none of it unsettles him like the woman sitting across his desk, pretending she doesn't feel it too. Until two pink lines appear. Because the only thing more dangerous than their chemistry... Is the secret growing between them. And this time, he won't let her run.

Seventeen-year-old Aria Castellano thought she knew who she was - a scholarship student, a good daughter, a girl with simple dreams and a mother who made the world feel safe. But when her mother dies in a car accident, the life Aria knew unravels overnight. A letter. A name. A father she's never met. Now she's flying across the country to New York - to a mansion with guards at every gate, brothers who don't know what to make of her, and a father still struggling to accept the daughter he didn't know existed. Her stepmother is kind, her new home beautiful... but nothing about it feels right. At St. Augustine's Academy, power hums beneath every smile and secret. The students there were born into legacies - families bound by alliances older than the school itself, until betrayal tore them apart. Those old rivalries still live on in the halls she walks now, and Aria's arrival is stirring them all back to life. One boy in particular seems to hate her most. He's untouchable, cruel in that effortless way only someone raised in power can be. But behind the sharp words and colder eyes is something else - something that pulls her closer even when she knows she shouldn't look twice. As Aria begins to uncover the truth her mother died protecting, she learns that some secrets were buried for a reason... and that even in a world built on bloodlines and betrayal, the most dangerous thing of all might be the way he looks at her. "Some secrets don't stay buried forever. And Aria Castellano's name might be the one that brings them all back to the light"

When Olive Sadie McKinley starts school at Markov Academy, she is immediately swept up into the buzz and fanfare of Aeriana's most prestigious boarding school. Just in her first year, Olive's not only secured a potential record deal, but she's finally making her mother proud by following in her successful sisters' footsteps. All is going well. Until she loses her voice. A year later, Olive must now learn how to communicate and navigate a world that only rewards performers and creators, all while balancing her school work and making her mother happy. Saxophone protege Kassian Williams has no problems with his mother's general unhappiness with his life's decisions. In fact, he relishes in her disappointment. He'd much rather spend his time trying to build his music career before he graduates so he doesn't have to continue in the family business. When a chance encounter has Kassian and Olive crossing paths, Kassian finds he's unable to get the young singer out of his thoughts. As Olive gets closer to Kassian, she not only discovers more about the grumpy upperclassman, but also about her desires for her life outside of what her mother wants. Except, when Olive's voice starts coming back and disappearing again in odd intervals, her life is thrown back into disarray. Because now, Olive's not sure what's causing her voice to disappear...and suddenly the Markov campus is not as safe as she previously thought.
