Mr Jacob's was my dads best friend. He was forbidden. Older. I couldn't like him. Yet he was all I ever thought about. All I ever craved. I needed him. Please be aware there will be dark themes in this book , that some people could find triggering. This is also a slow burn. Starting where willow is only 12 years old , I wanted to show flashbacks of willow growing up alongside Quinn as a family friend. Absolutely NO romantic/ intimate dynamics take place until the fmc is 18/19 years old.

"Look me in the eye and tell me you hate me, you can't, can you love?" Assigned the nearly impossible task of infiltrating Tom Riddle's inner circle, Rosalie Grindelwald develops a strong disdain for Tom and his calculated exterior when she figures out that Tom harbours a desire to conquer the world in his darkness.

The borders still stand and the fires still burn, but the land hums with unease, threads of destiny pulled too tight, stretched thin by the hands that wove them. The gods remain distant, their voices scattered like echoes across centuries. Monsters stir where they once slept. Old loyalties begin to erode, not through open conflict, but through silence and doubt, where even truth feels unreliable. Percy has survived prophecy and defied expectation, yet this time the future refuses to reveal its shape. The signs are not carved into stone or whispered in dreams, they surface slowly, in fractures and omens, in the growing realization that some paths are set in motion long before anyone chooses to walk them. As mortal will and divine design begin to blur, Serena and Percy stand at the center of a gathering storm, not as champions summoned by fate, but as witnesses to its slow unfolding. What binds them is not certainty, but the understanding that every step forward carries a cost already accounted for. This is not the story of when war begins. It is the story of how it has always been waiting. Because some destinies do not arrive with thunder or flame. They move quietly, patiently, through the veins of the world, until there is nothing left untouched. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝: 𝟏𝟐.𝟎𝟏.𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐝: 𝟏𝟗.𝟎𝟏.𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐝: 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝟏 - 𝟓 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟏 - 𝟓 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐂𝐘 𝐉𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐒𝐎

18+ | 2026 WATTYS SHORTLISTER | First Draft | Not edited. |"You gonna sit there all night?" Luka glances at me, smirking. I glare back. "I was enjoying the last few seconds of peace before having to spend an evening pretending to like you." "That's funny," he says, unbuckling his seatbelt. "Why?" I snap. "Because I was thinking the same thing." | The rules? Easy enough. 1. Pretend to be the perfect couple. 2. Keep it professional. 3. And whatever you do, don't. catch. feelings. Simple, right? Sofia Calloway never planned on going viral for throwing a drink in Luka Mikhaylov's face. But one video, one pissed-off hockey star, and one furious university later... she's suddenly stuck in a fake relationship with the guy she can't stand. He needs to clean up his image before the NHL draft. She needs the free tuition that comes with the deal. All they have to do is smile for the cameras, hold hands at the games, and act like they don't want to strangle each other. Then come the late-night arguments that last too long. The stolen glances that feel too dangerous. The moment where "pretend" starts looking way too real. Because when you break the rules, someone's bound to lose. And this time, it might be both of them.
