Astraea Atonal is flawless, focused, and perfectly untouchable. As a daughter of a high-profile lawyer and a world-class surgeon, she was built for control. Eryx Zayd is none of those things. No one knows where he came from, how he's so rich, or why he never walks alone. She's a shadow. He's a storm. And some secrets don't knock - they explode. Astraea was never supposed to look. Now she can't unsee him.

Four years ago, Chloe was just a 15-year-old orphan with a soft heart and quick hands - enough to sneak medical supplies and save a stranger's life without leaving a name. She thought he was just another boy in danger... not the heir to the most feared mafia dynasty across New York, Mexico, and Spain. Now at 19, Chloe has moved on. Her own place, her own job, her own quiet life. She doesn't remember his face - barely cares to - and she tells herself he's safe, wherever he is. But Damien never forgot her. Not the girl who saved him. Not her voice. Not the way she disappeared into the night like a ghost. And now that he's in power... he'll do whatever it takes to make her his - even if it means rewriting her fate. She saved a mafia prince. Now he's back to claim her. And this time... he's not leaving without her.

He taught politics like it was a weapon. I was just trying to survive the semester. Falling for him wasn't in the syllabus. But neither was starting a war. At Harrington University, every student talks about Professor Neil Hale. The coldest, most dangerously brilliant mind on campus. I didn't want a scandal. I just wanted to pass. But secrets slip in like ink on paper. Debates turn to glances. Glances turn to silence. And silence? It screams louder than any confession. In a world ruled by power, perception, and prestige, I broke the first rule: never get personal. But he already knew how to play dirty. He just didn't know I did too.

It's the summer of 2024 in Ballymorney, a small town in Kerry, Ireland. 16 year old Aubree Owens has just finished her transition year in Knocktorny Secondary school. Summer is starting, and she lives for it. Late nights, beach days, no school and tan lines. Summer is the only reason Aubree gets through the school year. 17 year old Fionn Fitzgerald has had his eyes on Aubree for years. Watching from afar and never daring to make a move. His whole life revolved around the track, where he'd spend most his evenings running around trying to beat his fastest 100m PB. He never had time for girls or relationships when the 2028 Olympics was all he had his eyes on, so his crush on Aubree was hidden away in the back of his mind so she didn't interrupt his goal. But this summer? Fionn decided he'd spent too long wasting away his teenage years on a track. He was gonna live it. He was gonna go out and get drunk, stay up until 2am with his friends, kiss a few girls and break his parents rules. But when Fionns life takes a unexpected slip he doesn't know if he has the energy for this summer. Teenage summer romcom based in ireland (NOT a copy of BOT.)
