AVA I was the perfect daughter. The perfect hockey prodigy. The flawless sister. My entire life was engineered around mastery-precision-control. Perfection wasn't a goal; it was the only standard I ever allowed myself to breathe under. Starting at Amok College was supposed to be just another arena to dominate. Then she happened. Zara Lewis-a girl sculpted from chaos, stitched together with fury and defiance, a living storm that didn't bend for anyone. The longer she lingered in my orbit, the more my carefully built edges began to crack. Nothing about us made sense. She was the darkness. I was the light. And yet, somehow, she was pulling me under... and I wasn't fighting it. ZARA Perfection hides rot. I saw that the moment I laid eyes on Ava Solace. She wasn't flawless-she was a walking contradiction, polished on the outside, trembling on the inside. And I wanted her. Needed her. My mind is a hurricane of noise and rage, and she was the only thing quiet enough to cut through it. Ava was my downfall. But she was also the only calm I'd ever tasted.

LUNA Freshman year at Amok College, and my name already tastes like blood. I'm a Graves. Noah Graves's sister. The one everyone remembers for trophies, headlines, and the accident no one will forgive. My sister ruled Amok hockey until the night everything shattered-until someone died and the truth was buried under words like mistake and tragedy. Briarstone never buried it. Their captain, Celeste Frost, wears grief like a blade. Her brother is dead because of my family. When we first met,I know it was wrong.I feel her attention lock onto me-cold, deliberate, intimate in the way predators are intimate with their prey. Celeste doesn't just want to hurt me. She wants to claim me. And the most dangerous part? Somewhere between dread and defiance, my body reacts before my mind can stop it. CELESTE The Graves family stole my brother's future. I carry that loss in my teeth, in my fists, in every second I spend on the ice. When I hear that Luna Graves has enrolled at Amok, something inside me sharpens. This is fate finally paying attention. I expect hatred when I see her. What I don't expect is the way my breath catches. She looks breakable. Defiant. Unaware of how perfectly she fits into the space my brother left behind-how easy it would be to step closer, to test how far I can push before she snaps. I don't want her ruined. I want her to remember my touch when she tries to sleep. I want her to fear me-and crave me-until she can't tell the difference anymore.

When 𝐌𝐢𝐚 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 has to move back to Cedarsville, the perfect, glittering village of her childhood, she expects to pick up right where she left off: rich, admired, untouchable. But Cedarsville remembers, and so does 𝐀𝐮𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐲 𝐖𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐛𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐤. Once, they were inseparable: two girls building worlds in a treehouse, dreaming about forever. Until Aubrey kissed her, and Mia called it gross, and everything broke. Mia's family whisked her away to England. Aubrey stayed behind to become the outcast everyone whispered about. Now, six years later, Mia's back. Aubrey's still the same: clever, sharp, a little desperate to be seen, and Mia's still pretending she feels nothing at all. It's not a love story. It's obsession, humiliation, revenge, and the kind of attention that burns more than it heals. They destroy each other slowly, intimately.
Because somewhere deep down, they both think it's what they deserve.

She's bold. She's sharp. She's definitely trouble. And she won't leave Emory alone. Cassidy Monroe is new at Halston High a photographer with a cocky smile, a smart mouth, and no sense of personal space. She doesn't care about fitting in, following rules, or keeping her head down. And for some reason, she keeps showing up in Emory Price's life like it's on purpose. Emory doesn't flirt. She doesn't get distracted. She's focused, respected, maybe even a little untouchable. So when Cassidy starts teasing her between classes, sitting beside her in every shared period, and making her laugh when she's trying not to smile, Emory tells herself it doesn't matter. It's just noise. A phase. A girl with too much confidence and no filter. But the thing about Cassidy is she's not that easy to shake. And the longer Emory tries to ignore her, the harder it gets to tell whether she's annoyed... or addicted.
