The plan has always been simple. Finish college and open my own bakery while supporting my best friend in his journey to the NHL. After a not-so-good experience last year, I've been avoiding most of the hockey team. That is until I finally met their newest teammate whose green eyes have been stuck in my brain ever since. Did I mention he's also my best friend's roommate?

Never in a million years did I think I would cross paths with him again. Michael Woods. The boy who broke my heart. The boy who picked hockey over me. The boy who left me behind. After giving three years of my life to him, it was all over after his college graduation. He went his way and I went mine. But I never imagined landing a job at his agency when I moved to Boston four years later, let alone as his assistant. A job that's meant for me to service him, do as he asks, and give him all smiles. So, I play the part. I play the nice, kind, sweet assistant in public and ignore him like my life depends on it in private. The thought of getting close to him again terrifies me because I know. I know that once I let him again, I'll never be able to let him out. And if I do, it'll be at the cost of my heart, and this time he'll leave it broken beyond repair. I used to think he was forever mine. But hockey changed everything. What would he do now if he had to make that choice? Me? Or hockey? Or both? . . .

At Blackthorn Academy, love is a dangerous game... and the winner always bleeds. Raven Song never asked to walk the halls of the most elite vampire academy in the country. As a half-blood, she's an outsider by birth-and a target by default. But beneath the marble floors and whispered rumors lies the truth she's been hunting for years... a truth that could cost her everything. Jae-Hyun "Jace" Moon isn't used to being challenged. Pureblood royalty with a reputation as lethal as his smile, he rules Blackthorn without question-until Raven shows up and doesn't flinch under his gaze. She's a problem he can't ignore... and a temptation he can't resist. But in a school built on power, secrets, and blood debts, desire comes with deadly consequences. Every step closer to each other draws them deeper into a world where trust is a weapon, passion is a weakness, and betrayal is inevitable. In Blackthorn's shadowed halls, a kiss can bind you for eternity- or be the last thing you ever feel.

Crestwood Academy: where legacies are born, secrets are currency, and scholarship girls like Luna Ferreira don't survive - they endure. Luna's only goal is to keep her head down, ace her classes, and prove she belongs at the elite academy where power drips from every marble pillar. But the moment she collides - literally - with Arien Andersen, everything changes. Arien is cold, untouchable, and ruthless. He rules Crestwood like a king in designer suits, with a last name that makes professors flinch and students obey. He also has a best friend - Luna's brother - which makes him strictly off-limits. Too bad no one told Arien that. She's fire. He's ice. And in a school where loyalty is bought and enemies wear diamonds, one thing is certain: If Luna wants to survive Crestwood... she'll have to stop running from the boy who watches her like a storm about to break. And if Arien wants to keep his throne? He'll have to stop wanting the girl who could burn it all down.
