Princess Amelia survived a brutal attack on her family. Now, after living twelve years in a secluded castle, she must rejoin the world of royalty. But growing up secluded from the world did not prepare her for life in the royal palace. Life's hard lessons teach her that some things are worth fighting for. Sir Lucas' father died while defending the king. He has been raised ready and willing to do the same. Chivalry is not the only way of life but it is his life. He would do anything to protect the royal family, including denying his love for the king's sister, in order to see the royal line continue.

She was the baby they blamed. The sister they forgot. Guilt runs deep. Love runs late. And time may not wait for them to make it right. She never asked for much-just to be seen, to be loved. Born the day their mother died, Lucia became the silent shadow in a broken house. Forgotten by the four brothers who once cradled and kissed her as a baby, she learned to shrink, to survive. But when a cruel illness leaves her helpless, they are forced to see what they've ignored for years-a little girl, aching for care, terrified to need them, and still loving them with everything she has. #5 in family: 27/05/2025 #1 in sad: 05/07/2025 #1 in sick: 27/05/2025 #1 in disease: 05/07/2025 #1 in rich: 31/05/2025 #2 in siblings: 24/05/2025 #1 in brothers: 24/05/2025 #1 in neglect: 31/05/2025 #1 in babysister: 31/05/2025 #1 in help: 13/07/2025 #2 in elderbrothers: 31/05/2025 1k reads: 23/05/2025 100k reads: 2/06/2025 200k reads: 15/06/2025 300k reads: 04/07/2025 400k reads: 15/08/2025 500k reads: 1/11/2025 Started: 22nd May 2025 Ended: 28th May 2025

𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 / academic rivals 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 Georgia Ivy Findlay is the girl who seems to have it all together-smart, kind, and effortlessly cool. But beneath that calm exterior, she's got a secret life as an assassin, forced to grow up way too fast after losing her parents. She's been fending for herself and her sisters ever since, balancing school with the kind of work that would give most people nightmares. Georgia's got friends and can vibe with pretty much anyone... except Enzo Romano. Enzo is the definition of trouble-rich, popular, and with a bad attitude to match. As the heir to his dad's mafia empire, he's got a chip on his shoulder and no time for niceties. In school, he's the guy everyone either fears or admires, but to Georgia, he's just a pain in the ass. They're both at the top of their class, and the rivalry between them is intense-fueled by snide remarks, icy. glares, and a shared hatred that's as undeniable as it is electric. But what happens when the lines between hate and something else start to blur? When one of them begins to feel something deeper, something dangerous, that could change everything? ______________________________________ A/N: This book is going to be focusing on multiple povs like more people than the 2 Main characters just wanted to put that out there also this is the first book I have ever written so if it's cringe I apologize I also appreciate corrections in the comments (Pictures in the book are not mine )

I used to believe monsters lived under the bed. Now I know better. They wear human skin. The chains bite into my wrists again as I try to squirm, but I don't cry anymore. Crying makes it worse. Crying makes me weak. That's what he says, anyway. "Big girls don't cry," he sneers, dragging the blade slowly across my stomach. "You're not a baby anymore, are you?" I try to be silent. I try to be still. But the pain makes my body twitch. The blood trickles like warm tears down my ribs. I squeeze my eyes shut and pray for the darkness to swallow me whole. It doesn't. I wish I could remember my mother's voice. My father's face. My brothers- Were they even real? Or just dreams I invented to survive? Time doesn't exist here. Only pain. And him. He says my name like it's a curse: Alessia. He tells me pain is my teacher. That fear will become my friend. That one day, I'll thank him for turning me into something more than a girl. He's wrong. I'm not more than a girl. I'm something else entirely. Because one day, I stop praying for the pain to end. I start learning from it. One day, I take the knife from his hand. One day, he bleeds. That's the day I stop being Alessia, the little girl. And I become something far worse.
