Two syndicates. One obsession. Freya Skye is the girl who has everything-power, money, and a body count to match. Malachi Barton is the man who takes everything he sees. When Malachi decides that Freya is his next prize, the underworld begins to burn. He wants her heart, her empire, and her total obedience. He's the Boss, but to her, he's so much more.

Nova never asked to be different. Half-vampire, half-daywalker, she already walked the line between worlds. But after the blood fruit is restored, and peace is declared, something begins to awaken deep inside her-something darker, older, and far more dangerous than anyone has ever seen. It starts with a hum. A vision. A blackout. She hears a haunting melody no one else can hear. She feels power burning beneath her skin. And when she loses control, it's like something else takes over entirely. The Council senses it. They fear her. So they send someone to watch her-Victor. Her closest ally. The one person she trusted. The one who was sent to spy. As Nova unravels the mystery of her missing mother, her terrifying powers, and the truth behind her bloodline, she's forced to choose: lose herself to the siren within... or destroy the boy she's falling for to save him. But what happens when the only one who can save her is the one she might destroy?

Freya Skye and Malachi Barton have spent years pretending they can't stand each other. Their constant teasing, arguments, and endless competition have convinced everyone they're enemies. Even they believe it. But beneath every sarcastic remark and every heated argument is a secret neither of them is willing to admit. When Malachi's best friend, Mk, dares him to make Freya fall hopelessly in love with him before summer ends, he accepts without hesitation. To him, it's just another game. Another challenge he'll win. Freya, however, isn't someone who falls easily. After being betrayed by someone she once trusted, she's promised herself she'd never let another person get close enough to break her heart again. As fake smiles turn into real ones, late-night beach bonfires become unforgettable memories, and stolen glances begin to mean something more, Malachi realizes the dare is no longer the game he thought it was. Now he's trapped between the biggest lie he's ever told... and the girl he's unexpectedly fallen for. When the truth finally comes out, one question remains: Can love survive a dare that was never meant to become real?

Freya Skye and Malachi Barton - two rising teen stars - get cast as the romantic leads in a new streaming series.... Smut involved They've known each other for years, but never like this. The show is intimate. Emotional. The chemistry is undeniable. And the directors keep pushing them into scenes that blur the line between acting and something else. Neither of them admits it. Both of them feel it. And the cameras catch everything.

Freya Skye and Malachi Barton have been best friends since before either of them could walk - neighbors, family friends, fixtures in each other's lives through a decade of Saturday dinners neither of them would ever miss. Freya falls first, quietly, at thirteen, and never says a word. Malachi doesn't notice - not through his own string of casual, forgettable romances, not while Freya lines up boyfriends of her own just to prove to herself she's moved on. She hasn't. But she's very good at looking like she has. By the time Malachi finally catches up to what he's felt for years without naming it, Freya is happy - genuinely, unguardedly happy - with someone else. And Malachi decides, the way people do when they think they're being noble, that he missed his chance and it's his to carry alone.

After an unexpected ceiling collapse sends her apartment into chaos, Madelaine Grayson ends up living with her brother - and dangerously close to his tattooed, way-too-charming roommate. He's off-limits... but resisting him might be impossible. *** When Madelaine Grayson's bathroom ceiling caves in, it's not just drywall that crumbles. It's her entire world. Forced to move in with her brother, she finds herself swept up in the chaos of his new protective attitude - especially when it comes to his tattooed roommate, Noah Laurier. Noah is the epitome of perfection: sweet, hot, and embedded into every thought Madelaine has. But he's forbidden, and the closer she gets, the harder he is to resist. Well... what her brother doesn't know can't hurt him, right? *** "Matt's sister, I presume?" He walks towards the couch and my eyes widen. He's tall. I thought I was tall but this man could tower me, and when he reaches a hand towards me, there's an intricate clock tattooed on the back of his hand and his fingers have bones tattooed over them. This man is not human. He's tall and angular and dripping with sex appeal. This man is hot. Capital H, capital O, capital T. I don't think I've ever seen a human being so attractive. All I can think about as I force myself to keep my eyes on the screen is the feel of his jaw beneath my hand, and it takes everything in me not to look
