In fact, she tells him this on their first encounter. Clearly needing all the help she can get in this department, she turns to her neighbour, who by the sound of it, gets all the action he wants. Can grieving and guarded firefighter Marcus help Mabel learn the ways of love? Or will she teach him how to live life with your heart on your sleeve?

"Dude! You have to give me some warning before you do that" I scowl before glaring at him. Only he mirrors my glare, and I go confused. "What's wrong?" I ask. "I'm not your friend. Don't call me dude" He mutters. "You talked!" I gasp, sitting up straight in the bed. Only the room spins slightly, and Sage pushes me back down. I then register what he said, and my smile fades away. "I know, sorry" I mumble. Sage sighs, and suddenly my jaw is being grabbed, and before I can even begin to register what's happening, he kisses me. "Not your friend" He whispers. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Morgan Price. A woman who never shuts up. Sage Hendrix. A man who rarely talks.

PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS "The softest place to fall" "Who did this to you?" The question hangs in the air between us. I can't look at him. I stare at my hands instead. "Ella." His voice breaks on my name. "Please. Talk to me." "I- " The word comes out as barely a whisper. "I can't." "You can. Whatever it is, you can tell me. I'm not going anywhere."

BOOK 2 An unexpected pregnancy changes everything. At a school built on rigid hierarchy-where men rule and women are taught to submit-news like this doesn't stay quiet for long. Heads turn. Whispers spread. Judgment follows close behind. For Ember, Levi, Jaxson, and Colton, the future they thought they understood suddenly feels fragile and uncertain. But instead of breaking them, the revelation pulls them closer than ever. What they've built together isn't just a bond shaped by the rules of the academy-it's love, trust, and fierce devotion tested under pressure. As the world around them questions their choices and their right to exist as they are, the four of them face challenges that demand unity, sacrifice, and courage. This is the story that begins after the truth comes out. A story of standing firm when everything is on the line. Of love that refuses to fracture. And of a family forming in the most unexpected place-where submission, dominance, and devotion collide to create something entirely their own.

BOOK 1 Hidden behind iron gates and thorn-covered walls, the academy promised transformation-for those deemed broken, volatile, or unfit for the world as it was. Men entered to be sharpened into leaders: dominant, controlled, unyielding. Women were sent to be refined-taught obedience, composure, and how to exist quietly beside power. The brochures called it balance. Ember called it a cage. At eighteen, Ember was already labeled a problem. Too angry. Too emotional. Too loud for a world that preferred its women calm and compliant. Years of struggling with her mental health had left scars no one bothered to understand, and instead of help, her parents chose Blackthorn. They told her it would teach her how to be a better woman. Ember heard only that they wanted her silenced. From the moment she arrived, Ember stood out-and not in the way Blackthorn liked. She questioned rules, challenged authority, and refused to lower her gaze. That defiance drew attention, especially from three of the academy's most respected Dominants: Levi, Colton, and Jaxson. Each of them had earned their status through discipline and control, tasked with mentoring submissives and shaping them into perfection. They were supposed to break her in. Instead, Ember unraveled them. Levi saw the fire she refused to extinguish. Colton recognized the pain beneath her anger. Jaxson understood what it meant to be forged by pressure rather than nurtured. What began as observation turned into protection. Guidance became loyalty. And somewhere between lessons, punishments, and quiet moments of understanding, the lines Blackthorn enforced began to blur. Ember was never meant to belong to anyone-but somehow, she became the center of them all. And Blackthorn Academy was about to learn that some flames don't submit.

Mia Cherie X Aaron Valentino I gasp into his mouth, my hands fisting in his soaked shirt, pulling him closer, needing him closer and needing to feel every inch of him against me. His tongue sweeps into my mouth, and I moan, my knees going weak. But he doesn't let me fall. His arms wrap around my waist, holding me up, grounding me, anchoring me to him. The rain pours down around us, but all I feel is heat, his body pressed against mine and his hands in my hair, on my back, everywhere. When he finally pulls back, we're both panting, our foreheads pressed together. "You're mine" he murmurs, his voice rough and possessive. "Say it." "I'm yours" I whisper. "Say it again."

AMBY AWARDS TOP PICK 2023 ❤️ "You think I can't act like I'm into you?" He asks in a whisper. He reaches out, and strokes a finger down my cheek, and I feel myself shiver at the touch. "You think I can't convince everyone that I have feelings for you?" His eyes are darker than ever, and any sign of a smile has now vanished. The only word I can think right now to describe him is "smouldering". I have searched many great romance novels (and even more sub-standard ones), and I am yet to find a better synonym for that particular word. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Abigail Watson has always played by the rules.
