A vixen's bold offer and a nerd's fascination Amara Alana had a reputation that preceded her and it isn't wasn't only tied to her stylish fashion choices, sharp tongue, or attitude. Overall she was completely, and entirely too much. Yet still always at the top. Messes were left in her wake that she was unapologetic about but her future was a thing to fight for, something that her new slipping grades were threatening-ber dreams of nursing school. Juda Harrison was nothing of the typical textbook nerd. He was one of a kind, a man of many masks and strict order. Reserved. Intelligent. And a natural stand out with a cold gaze. The trouble and destruction she brought was well known but fascination had a way of bending his rules. Her deal, the temptation of them, and his choice pulled him into her anyway. ━━━━⊱♛⊰━━━━ 𝐓 𝐇 𝐄 𝐓 𝐄 𝐌 𝐏 𝐓 𝐌 𝐄 𝐒 𝐄 𝐑 𝐈 𝐄 𝐒 ♛ 1 Teach Me, Tempt Me ❆ 2 Please Me, Tempt Me ☘︎ 3 Ruse Me, Tempt Me ━━━━⊱♛⊰━━━━ 𝐇 𝐈 𝐆 𝐇 𝐄 𝐒 𝐓 𝐑 𝐀 𝐍 𝐊 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆 𝐒 #1 goodboybadgirl #1 opposites attract #1 popular girl #1 tutor

IN PROGRESS- will be fully published July 10, 2026. Full prologue inside. This story contains steamy scenes, and is recommended for 18+. Serena Voss is spiraling. Figure skating has miraculously taken her to college with a scholarship. Now left with guardianship of her high school brother, she's struggling to make her finances and lifestyle align with the future she wants for him. Elijah Accardi doesn't know how to love. As if he's Pinocchio's long-lost brother, he feels strung around under the burning gaze of his father-every step of his future mapped out, every dream suffocated. Two separate struggles, both hidden behind silently pained eyes. One glides through life, hiding her pain beneath the shavings of her skate blades; the other drowns in the shadow of his family, suffocating under the weight of an inheritance he never wanted. Both carry the expectations of the world on their shoulders, terrified of the cracks showing before they can find the strength to fix them. In the silence of their worlds, the truth is being buried deep inside- until the cracks in the façade threaten to break them both past restoration.
