✰【ENEMIES TO LOVERS】⥈【VAMPIRE FANTASY】✰ "WHAT IS FATED... CANNOT BE CHANGED" In a world governed by ancient vampire leagues and unspoken laws, Nic Vancarthen survives by precision, execution and distrust. A strategist by nature, he believes alliances should be clean, missions contained, and emotions kept in control. That belief begins to fracture the moment Olandria enters his path. Olandria blessed with beauty, skills and formidable power is unwilling to offer explanations for who she is or where she comes from. Her presence complicates Nic's mission and unsettles his instincts, drawing him into a web of half-truths, political tension, and forbidden forces older than the leagues themselves. As rival powers maneuver in the shadows and enemies close in, Nic and Olandria are forced into proximity neither of them asked for. Will they be able to individually accomplish their goals or let emotions take the reign? Who can truly be trusted when the past refuses to stay buried? The Vancarthens is a dark romance fantasy of bloodbound loyalty, forbidden power, and the fragile bonds that hold when the truth is the most dangerous weapon of all. WHAT TO EXPECT IN THIS BOOK: ✔ FANTASY ✔ ACTION ✔ ADVENTURE ✔ PLOT-TWISTS ✔ SLOW BURN ROMANCE WORTH THE WAIT 18+

Nic & O had just gotten off the high that was season 7 love island USA. Everything seemed to be taking off, they had amazing friends, their careers were skyrocketing, but above all that, they had each other. A few years later, they welcome a set of twin baby girls and life seemed to hit an all time high- but every peak has a valley, and they part ways, each taking one twin. 10 years later, living on opposite ends of the world, Stevie and Shea meet at a summer camp and learn a secret that will forever change the course of their lives. They decide to brave a mission of no return: get their parents back together. This is, for any and all reasons, a #joke!! The parent trap is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I wondered what a nicolandria equivalent would look like! Obviously these characters and scenarios are all made up and are in no way true y'all so don't take everything literally!! I also am aware of recent developments as to other *ahem* characters in this story, but for my sake, the stories sake, and all of yours, lets pretend that never happened and all our characters are a tight knit group w no drama (ofc other than the one in the story). Without further ado, I hope you enjoy!! *also published on ao3*

nic and olandria take second place and proceed to take advantage of their production-provided hotel room.

When Olandria steps into the Love Island villa in Fiji, she expects sun, games, and maybe a cute boy or two. She doesn't expect to be glued at the hip with Chelly from the moment they meet, or to find herself caught between a charming cowboy named Taylor and Nic - the quiet one with the smile that makes her heart skip. One kiss with Taylor feels safe. One kiss with Nic feels like trouble. Now Olandria has to play the game, keep her new friendships alive, and hide the sparks she feels every time Nic looks at her. Because in the villa, one wrong move can send you packing - or expose the kind of love you were never supposed to have. A slow-burn, forbidden romance set under the Fiji sun. 🌴🔥

But when I opened the door, my eyes didn't land on her. Not the woman in silk lingerie, not the one I already knew, not the one who believed she owned me. The girl in the corner, seated against the wall. The air shifted before I locked eyes with her. I sat down in the chair against the wall, heart pounding. The door opened again. The air shifted before I locked eyes with him.

After the cameras stopped rolling, the real story began. Nic and Olandria didn't win the show-but they found something deeper: a spark that couldn't be edited out. Now, reunited outside the villa, the two fan-favorites are finally exploring what the world kept hinting at... if they're brave enough to choose each other. But not everyone is rooting for their happiness. As old flames stir online drama and unexpected truths from the past come to light, Nic and Olandria must navigate public pressure, personal insecurities, and what it really means to love beyond the spotlight. Told over six steamy, heartfelt chapters-with appearances by real-life besties Ace & Chelley-this story dives into vulnerability, healing, and the kind of love that finds you when you're finally ready.
