𝗢 𝗟 𝗜 𝗩 𝗜 𝗔 𝗟 𝗔 𝗨 𝗥 𝗘 𝗡 𝗧 | Following her long awaited return to St George's prep, Olivia Laurent must come to terms with the new rules around school, things have changed in the year she's been travelling, and so have the people. With year twelve already off to a rocky start, more fuel is added to the fire when a certain someone is released from rehab and announces their arrival in typical Ivanov style. 𝗖 𝗛 𝗥 𝗜 𝗦 𝗧 𝗜 𝗔 𝗡 𝗜 𝗩 𝗔 𝗡 𝗢 𝗩 | Christian Ivanov, was once St George's prep's biggest heartthrob. But, things are much different after his heartbreak. He too, is much different after it. With the school under a new lead, his first week back is even worse than he originally anticipated. Even rehab was probably better than this. With no underground fights to look forward to and no football games to prepare for, all eyes are on Ivanov. But his eyes are on someone else. S T A R T E D: 𝟭𝟬𝗧𝗛 𝗔𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗟 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 F I N I S H E D:

Born into a world of wealth, privilege, and expectations, there's Eira Thorsen, a talented ballerina with dreams of securing a place at one of the world's top dance companies. Her life is a carefully curated performance-perfect hair, impeccable posture, and her unspoken drive to succeed. Her passion is her poison and it is only a matter of time before it kills her and behind that polished and impeccably orchestrated veneer of hers, lies a yearning for something real, something unfiltered. "𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐮𝐩 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬, 𝐙𝐞𝐤𝐞. 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮," 𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐝. Ezekiel Beckett is a different story. Smart with the side of an addiction. Smoking, the only way he knows how to cope, his home away from home, the only way he can deal with his life crumbling before his eyes. Ezekiel is the exact opposite of Eira, broke, struggling to make ends meet and look after his sister all whilst stuck in a constant spiral of a habit he couldn't seem to break or escape despite his wit shining through the haze of his addiction. His rough edges and turbulent life seem worlds away from Eira's poised existence but somehow, they make do. 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬. Later... 𝐒𝐨𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐨.

"Help, I have done it again, I have been here many times before." - *Breathe Me*, Sia . . . . . . . . . . Some loves hurt. Some loves scar. And some loves leave bruises you learn to hide. AURORA has already learned the cost of trusting the wrong person. She's careful now. Guarded. Built from walls and sharp edges, stitched together with survival and stubbornness. Love, to her, is something that breaks - not something that stays. And then there's THEO. Infuriating. Impossible. Too perceptive for his own good. He sees the cracks she pretends aren't there. The softness she buries. The fear she refuses to name. He is her storm - loud, reckless, relentless. She is his shelter - quiet, steady, the place he doesn't know how to deserve. Every fight pulls them apart. Every stolen moment pulls them closer. Every heartbeat risks shattering what little they have left intact. Because when the past refuses to loosen its grip, when love feels like standing too close to the flame, sometimes the only way forward... ...is to set yourself on fire. . . . . . . . . . . He never meant to fall this hard. She never meant to let him in. But some hearts don't break quietly. They bruise. "I think you're going to have to ask me again," I murmured, tilting my chin up. "But like, really nicely this time." Theo blinked. "You're serious?" "Deadly." A second passed. Then another. I watched the way his tongue ran along the inside of his cheek, watched his hand flex like he was trying not to grab me too fast, too rough. And then, softer now-different-he said, "Rory." Just my name, but it held more weight than anything else. "Please, baby. Let me kiss you."

"Something 'bout you makes me feel like a dangerous woman." - *Dangerous Woman*, Ariana Grande . . . . . . . . . . There are girls who are raised to behave. And then there are girls who learn how to 'survive'. ELENA RADCLIFFE wears perfection like armour. Polished smiles. Impeccable manners. A life curated carefully enough to hide the truths that could ruin her. Behind closed doors, she guards secrets sharp enough to cut anyone who gets too close - including herself. She is careful. She is controlled. She is not as harmless as she looks. KAI MURPHY has never cared about control. Reckless, dangerous, and magnetic in all the wrong ways, he moves through the world like he has nothing to lose - because maybe he doesn't. Rules bore him. Boundaries tempt him. And consequences have never stopped him before. When their worlds collide in England, 2005, it isn't subtle. It isn't kind. It isn't safe. Hate sparks desire. Temptation ignites obsession. And lines that should never be crossed blur beyond recognition. Every secret threatens to unravel. Every glance pulls them closer. And some fires aren't meant to be tamed - only fed. Because in a game built on lies, control, and forbidden attraction, nothing stays untouched. And no one walks away unchanged. . . . . . . . . . . He was never meant to see behind her mask. She was never meant to want the danger he represents. But the most dangerous women aren't born - they're 'provoked'.

Lila Hart is nineteen, shy, and quietly brilliant. A first-year uni student with her head buried in books and her heart safely tucked away. She's not used to attention, and she likes it that way. Her world is quiet, predictable, and entirely her own-until she's asked to tutor the loudest, most late-to-everything boy on campus. Jack Carter is twenty, the university's star striker and captain, and the kind of guy who gets noticed the second he walks into a room-whether he means to or not. Charming, popular, and always just a little behind, Jack's life looks effortless. But under the surface, there's pressure he doesn't talk about, a father who expects perfection, and a grade point average that's about to cost him everything She's the quiet girl he barely noticed. He's the boy she never thought she'd talk to. But when tutoring sessions turn into something more, neither of them is prepared for the way their worlds begin to change- slowly, unexpectedly, and all at once.

𝐄𝐕𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐘 has mastered the art of being invisible. At home, it keeps her out of danger. At school, it keeps the bullies at bay-or so she hopes. But when a cruel prank forces her into the boys' changing room and into the spotlight, her carefully built walls start to crack. 𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐍𝐍 has everything: money, popularity, and a future already mapped out. He shouldn't care about the quiet girl with the tired eyes and secondhand shoes. But the moment he sees her, he knows there's more to Eve than silence. Thrown together by chance, drawn together by something neither of them fully understands, Eve and Ace come from two different worlds. And yet, in each other, they might just find the one thing they've both been missing. But some secrets aren't easy to outrun. And when the truth comes to light, it might just tear them apart.
