She wanted to be taught. He warned her to walk away. But Valencia Morano has never been one to obey rules. Brilliant, reclusive, and just barely twenty-two, Valencia is the kind of girl who drinks philosophy like water and lives more in her mind than in her skin. Harvard was supposed to be her sanctuary. But when word spreads of a secret seminar, twenty seats only, chosen by him. Suddenly everything tilts. Professor Julian Thorne Smith is not a man students meet. He's the kind they write dissertations about. A man who was never meant to teach again. With three doctorates, bestselling works, and a silence sharp enough to draw blood, he's more myth than man. So when Valencia is chosen, she doesn't celebrate. She spirals. Because no one told her the greatest lesson would be herself. What begins as academic worship unravels into something far more dangerous, a psychological chess match between a girl with too many questions and a man who cannot afford to be seen. As the power dynamic tangles and a forbidden connection sparks, Valencia finds herself drawn into a world of restraint, obsession, and desire deeper than anything she's ever known. This isn't romance. This is surrender. And some lessons leave marks.

If you go down to the woods today... Well, in this town, you probably won't come back. Unexplained deaths and disappearances are normal around here. In Haltonshaw Grove, we tell these real life horror stories to our kids like bedtime tales. They help us learn from a young age to stay out of the forest after dark. But one halloween, we didn't listen- Me and four boys. We broke the rules and we paid the price. We barely made it out alive and now we live with the trauma, the nightmares, the memories. Seven years later, the events of that night, like most things tend to do around here, have come back to haunt us. We never talked about the night we ran in the forest, never spoke afterwards at all really, but now we're going to need each other if we're going to survive what's coming. Me and those boys I've loved all along. - - ‐ - - - - - - - - - - - - - Our town is haunted. The five of us are cursed. And Halloween is just around the corner... Let's see who makes it to November 1st.

Rosalind Hart Power has a voice. Low. Controlled. Velvet wrapped steel. And when it called my name, I answered... without hesitation. I only came to Infernum for a job. Just a few hours of bookkeeping, buried in the quiet corners of a club that pulsed with secrets. But nothing here is quiet for long. Lucian Black. Zane Romano. Xander Wolfe. Kade Riven. Men who command the room like the world owes them worship. Their gazes pinned me, branded me like a promise and a threat wrapped in silk. "You don't run from us, little Rose," Lucian whispered, brushing his thumb against my lip. "You kneel." I should've been terrified. But instead... I trembled. Not with fear. With need. Because there's something terrifyingly beautiful about surrendering to men who could destroy you. Something addictive about being seen, truly seen by eyes that strip away your defenses. They didn't ask for my heart. They claimed it. Silently. Completely. And I think... A part of me always wanted to be claimed. © 2025 by S. All rights reserved.

At the elite and secretive St. Alderic's Academy, nothing is ever as it seems-especially for Everly Winter, a transfer student with a past cloaked in tragedy. Accepted under mysterious circumstances, she quickly realizes she's not just an outsider-she's a target. Whispers follow her down shadowed corridors, and eyes she can't see are always watching. Haunted by the accident that destroyed her family and the secrets buried in its wake, Everly hoped this fresh start would silence the ghosts. But St. Alderic's is anything but a sanctuary. The halls pulse with history, wealth, and danger. The school thrives on legacy-and Everly has none. Then there are the three boys. Riven-moody and magnetic, the campus outcast with a reputation for destruction. Jax-smiling and charming, but with a cruel glint in his eyes. Landon-controlled, calculating, and terrifyingly observant. Each of them is drawn to her-and each has ties to the academy's most carefully guarded secrets. As Everly gets closer to the truth, notes appear in her room, her things are moved, and she's certain: someone is watching. Someone knows who she is. The past she tried to escape is no longer behind her. It's waiting in the shadows. And this time, it wants more than just her silence.

In a school full of secrets, trials, and divided loyalties, she'll have to choose: obey the light... or listen to the dark. He was made of shadow. She was born in light. Together, they might just rewrite fate.
