Stephanie Swanson is a spoiled, rich girl who always gets what she wants. Wanting to teach her responsibility, her parents send her away to live in Virginia for her senior year of high school. At first glance, Stephanie finds the family to be nice... well, everyone except their eldest daughter. Marsden Hartley is more humble and driven than most of her classmates. Upon meeting Stephanie, she is annoyed by her rich girl attitude and is not afraid to dish it back to her. Will the two girls learn to get along with each other or will they claw each other's eyes out before the school year even begins? - "Wow! Jealous much?!" I scoff. "Believe me, I'm the furthest thing from jealous, Steph." She mocks. "You're right-You're also a delusional psychopath, Mars." Her glare hardens, "Get in the fucking car, Stephanie." She finally moves away from my body. As the brunette moves away from me, so does the warmth that she provided me with. "After the borderline psychotic shit that you just pulled?!" I erupt. "No thanks, I value my life." "Now, Stephanie!" She yells, gaining the attention of some of the lingering school staff.

"What did I tell you about taking your top off during dances?" I flinch at her tone but still answer immediately. "Not to." "And what did you do?" "I took it off. Val I'm sorry I-" Her hand on my throat squeezes hard before she speaks. "You best enjoy the rest of your night cause when you get home you're in for it bambina." * * * * * * * * * * * * Isabella Creed is a 22 year old stripper. Stripping or most would say her body is the reason she isn't on the streets. Every man and woman married or single in the city of New York knows of the brunette beauty. They see her but she doesn't see them. That is until she locks eyes with a silver eyed mystery of a woman. Valentina Ferrari is a dirty Owner and business women of Ferrari Captive Inc with too many ties to the underworld. She gets what she wants even if it means using force. She's always in control from work to the sheets. People say she has a temper span smaller than the streak of silver in her midnight black hair. When she sees the brunette goddess everyone speaks of she knows her next toy she'll play with. What happens when Valentina becomes fond of the girl and wants only to protect her? What happens when Isabella stops trying to escape Vals steel grip on her and instead finds comfort in it?

When two rivals are forced to make up and be normal, would it be an illusion? Or real?

Mia has learned not to expect too much-from school, from home, or from the people around her. With a mother who drinks and a life that feels fragile at best, getting through the day is often all she can manage. When the new school year begins, Ms. Elmont becomes her mentor. She's calm, warm, and attentive in a way that feels different. She notices Mia's silences, her absences, the things she never says out loud. Sometimes, it feels as if Ms. Elmont understands her before Mia even understands herself. As Mia struggles to hold everything together, a quiet connection begins to form. Lingering looks. Conversations that last just a second too long. Feelings that blur the line between safety and longing. But some bonds aren't as new as they seem. And some feelings arrive long before they're allowed to exist.

Alessandra Moretti is not a woman people refuse. She controls Milan like a chessboard. Politicians lower their voices around her. Billion-dollar deals rise or collapse depending on a single message from her phone. She does not chase. She does not wait. And she has never been powerless. Well. Until Noor Malik. Noor is everything Alessandra is not. Soft. Gentle. Obedient. A brilliant embryologist who can create life under a microscope... yet still lowers her eyes when her parents speak. Noor does not rebel. She does not argue. She loves her parents too much to ever disobey them. Which means Alessandra cannot touch them. Not their house. Not their pride. Not the traditions that are slowly suffocating the woman she loves. Because Noor would never forgive her. And Alessandra would rather bring nations to their knees than see tears in Noor's eyes. So the most dangerous woman in Europe does something unimaginable. She waits. She drives Noor to work every morning in a Bentley worth more than the Malik house. She buys her banana ice cream like a lovesick fool. She kisses her slowly in the privacy of a car because that's the only place Noor is allowed to belong to her. But obedience has a cost. And Noor's parents are already planning the one thing Alessandra cannot allow. A husband. They believe tradition will save their daughter. They have no idea what they're provoking. Because Alessandra Moretti does not steal what she wants. She expands. And when the woman who keeps the devil calm is taken away... Cities don't just burn. They kneel. #1 in older women- 4th May.

Valeria didn't rush. She never did. Inez was pinned beneath her, wrist locked overhead, the hold precise and impersonal. Not pain. Control. Inez scoffed anyway. "That's it?" she sneered. "I've had tutors scarier than you." Valeria said nothing. The silence pressed in. "You don't scare me," Inez added, louder. Brattier. "You just-" "Enough." One word. Flat. Final. Valeria lifted Inez's chin with two fingers, detached as a correction. "Look at me," she said coolly. "If you're going to embarrass yourself, do it properly." Inez laughed, brittle. "You think this makes you powerful?" "I don't think," Valeria replied. "I decide." Her gaze never wavered. "You provoke because it's the last control you have." "I don't belong to you," Inez snapped. Valeria leaned in, voice razor-thin. "You are my wife. You belong to consequences." She released her grip. "Say it." "No." Valeria waited. The quiet broke Inez, she hated being ignored. "...I'll behave, I'll be a good girl" Inez muttered. "Specify." Inez swallowed hard. "...I'll be your good girl" Valeria stepped back, already distant. "Good," she said. "Remember why." #1 older women-13th February (FAST PACE BOOK)
