Everyone thinks Elara Quinn ran away. From the rumors. From the guilt. From the night her best friend vanished without a trace. But the truth? She was never running, she was hiding. Now she's back at Rosewood Hollow academy, a place draped in secrets. And nothing is the same. Her old life is gone. Her name is whispered in the hallways like a curse. And the boy she swore she'd never fall for, Asher Hale, with his stormy eyes and reckless charm, seems to know more than he lets on. when anonymous notes begin to show up in Elara's locker, with details only Maeve would know, Elara is is forced to face what really happened that night... and what she is still hiding. But the deeper she falls into Ashers world, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because in a school built on lies, loving the wrong person could cost her everything, even the pieces of herself she's barely holding together. She thought she could burry the past. She thought the truth would stay hidden. But someone knows what she did. And they're not done with her yet.

This is consequence. And this is life. After 500 years of brutal war, the rival kingdoms of Spade and Rose have struck an uneasy peace. To seal their fragile alliance, nobles from both realms are forced to live together under one roof. But the walls of diplomacy hide centuries of bloodshed-and secrets that were never meant to resurface. When a sharp-tongued woman takes it upon herself to challenge the lies they've built their peace upon, old wounds reopen, new enemies rise, and love becomes the deadliest weapon of all. The Spades and Roses is a story of love, grief, and the choices that define us when everything falls apart. Word count: 15,032 Thank you friends for the encouragement!! ILYYY
