"I will break every last heir that comes for my crown." - Corin Clarendon *** Billard Academy is a sanctuary of ivy, secrets, and power-where old money whispers through stone corridors and every gilded crest hides a knife. Corin Clarendon, flawless heiress of the wealthiest dynasty in the nation, should have the world at her feet. But tradition bars her from inheriting her father's empire. She's not a man. The Chairman has found his solution: whichever boy at Billard emerges at the top of the class will claim both her hand and the Clarendon throne. Every legacy scion wants her crown: Rothwell, Ascor, Vandercourt-their surnames weigh heavy with wealth and ruthless ambition. But beneath the perfect façade of a Clarendon rose, a patient predator waits-she won't be anyone's queen. She wants to be king. Enter Lucien Green-the scholarship kid with nothing to lose and everything to prove. Brilliant, unflinching, and fearless in a way no legacy boy could match. A new contender capable of matching Corin move for move. At Billard, only one truth survives: to reign is to destroy. #boardingschool #heirs #succession #rivalstolovers [updates every Wed or Thu]

In the quiet town of Eldermere, life is simple for Lyric, a quirky and fiercely independent painter nearly finished with college, who dreams of opening her own studio where she can teach art to children and share her work with the world. By day, she works among the dusty shelves of a historical bookstore, and on weekends she spends her time with Vira, whose bold, impulsive energy perfectly offsets Lyric's quiet and careful nature. After surviving a harrowing abusive relationship that ended in a murder attempt, she is wary of men, trusts few, and guards her heart closely, having sworn off romance entirely. Then Valentine steps into her life. Elegant, enigmatic, and unsettlingly poise, he carries an old-world charm that feels both intoxicating and wrong. Beneath his polished exterior lies a darkness older than Eldermere itself: a vampire burdened by the ghost of a woman he lost seventy years ago, one who looks exactly like Lyric. As Valentine draws near, Lyric's carefully ordered world shifts between fascination and caution. She allows a wary friendship to develop, intrigued by his presence but unsure what to trust. Haunted by his past, Valentine cannot resist unraveling the mystery of this living reflection of the wife he lost seventy years ago. Lyric cannot deny the magnetic pull he exerts over her. He's unlike any man she has met, elusive and arcane, and part of her senses a dangerous truth lurking beneath his perfection.

Ace Allister is a cunning and ruthless monster. Gianna Phoenix is a fiery and independent woman who will stop at nothing to destroy him for the murder of her brother. When they are forced into an arranged marriage for the good of their notoriously criminal families, their mutual animosity will spark into a fire that ignites their passion-or destroy them both. Gianna has one goal: get Ace to fall in love with her, and then kill him. Ace has another: get Gianna to fall in love with him, so she can't. And as they fall headfirst into a world of dark personal vendettas and murderous motives, the line between love and loathing begins to blur, until it becomes clear that saying "Till death do us part" wasn't just a promise-it was a threat. They say the course of true love never did run smooth; but in their case, it might just turn deadly.
