When ambitious young heiress Juliet strikes a series of deals with her bad boy enemy Romeo to protect her reputation, their twisted game of blackmail grows into forbidden love, forcing them to choose between loyalty to their families and their hearts. Season 1 of New York Rivals *** Juliet Milton's five-year plan includes graduating at the top of her class and proving herself worthy of running the billion-dollar business her grandfather founded. This means all work, no play, and protecting her reputation at all costs. But desperate for a night of fun, Juliet tags along with her friends to an underground fight. When a dangerous stampede suddenly breaks out, a masked fighter saves her from being trampled. She's shocked to discover her rescuer is none other than Romeo Carrington: the arrogant heir to her family's greatest rival business, and her sworn enemy. Driven by mutually assured destruction, Romeo and Juliet embark on a bitter blackmail scheme. Neither was supposed to be there that night, and both of their lives would be ruined if it got out. But soon, animosity turns into an unexpected alliance and sparks of irresistible attraction. As their forbidden feelings grow, Juliet must answer the ultimate question-is falling for her rival worth the price? *** This title is currently taking a break and will release its next season in July. Make sure to add season 2, Fighting for the Rival, to your library once it's released!

(First page of my book is a better description) Carmilla was on the edge of self destruction. She lost the love of her life to another and had a rough time coping. She had Nothing. When it seemed she was staring at the end, ready and willing to 'jump', a beautiful big brown doe eyed girl makes her question her existence. Laura was full of nothing but love and life, the complete opposite of Carmilla at the moment. Though she seems absolutely perfect, Laura has a secret of her own. What happens when Laura tries to show Carmilla a different view on life? "A mysterious and 'feels' worthy story of love, secrets, adventure, and finding yourself." {Characters are from the Carmilla webseries, making this a Hollstein AU, aka. Involving Carmilla Karnstein and Laura Hollis, as well as others.} COMPLETED: 2/12/17
