After her boyfriend cheats and says she's "not good in bed," a type-A psychology student launches a no-strings-attached sex experiment to prove him wrong-only to fall for the one variable she can't control: her ex's best friend. ********* Psychology student Lucy Bennett had her life mapped out with clinical precision: finish her thesis, marry her high-school sweetheart, land a research position, and start the five-year plan they'd been building since senior prom. Then he cheats. And worse, when he ends things, he tells her the reason he strayed was simple: she wasn't good in bed. Reeling from heartbreak, Lucy does the only thing she knows how to do. She turns the wreckage into research. Scrapping her original thesis, she proposes a bold new question: Does sexual satisfaction increase with experience? Determined to prove that sexual desire can be learned, not innate, Lucy becomes her own case study. Enter Mason Reid-her ex's infuriatingly charming best friend, campus jock, and the guy everyone whispers about being very good in bed. With his confidence, rules-free approach to sex, and a surprising respect for boundaries, Mason agrees to help Lucy "test her theory." What starts as an experiment in confidence and control quickly becomes something messier. And as the lines between research and reality blur, Lucy must decide whether proving she's "good in bed" matters more than discovering what and who actually makes her feel whole.

The Blood Moon Festival is a deadly competition that selects the next generation of dragon riders. Most competitors spend their childhood honing their Divine - a rare, godlike power typically found in the ruling class. But Raven Black, a poor orphan with an unusually powerful Divine, spent her childhood breaking more laws than she can count. At sixteen, Raven's list of crimes is taller than she is, and she is paying the price for it. Caught and sentenced to death after a heist gone wrong, Raven figures her luck has finally run out. That is until a dragon rider sees potential in Raven's Divine and offers her a chance to avoid execution by competing in the Blood Moon Festival. With no other choice, Raven enters Skydescent, a castle where contestants train and form alliances. As the only ex-criminal, Raven figured she would be the most cutthroat, her competitors too worried about honor to get their hands dirty. But in Scadril, a powerful dragon is honor. 128 competitors enter the Blood Moon Festival, and each will do whatever it takes to come out on top.

On the continent of Elandor, everyone is divided by kingdom. Every kingdom has its own rules, its own magic, and its own people. Yet once children reach age eighteen, they are all summoned into one Academy. There, enemies are placed in neighboring dorms and old grudges are carried into the common area. The Academy was never built on trust - it was built on fear. Fear that without it, the kingdoms would forget the fragile threads that keep war at bay. We're not supposed to trust each other, let alone care for one another. But tell me how I'm supposed to ignore the one person I can't stop looking at? To walk the Academy's corridors is to carry the weight of every border, every scar, every whispered hatred. No one arrives without suspicion. No one leaves unchanged.

She ran from the monster. She never expected to fall for him. ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* 　　 *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ *Updates Tuesdays and Fridays* Princess Arinelle has spent her entire life doing what was expected of her. Until her father promises her to a monster. The Vaelor of the Vayr Dominion is a man whispered about in frightened voices-a commander who drowned valleys, burned villages, and executed his own officers. A marriage to him might secure peace for Aserin, but Ari refuses to sacrifice her life to a man she has never met and already fears. So she runs. Alone, under a false name and spectacularly unprepared for life beyond palace walls, Ari crosses paths with Reid: a sharp-eyed traveler with a soldier's instincts, an infuriating habit of seeing through every lie she tells, and secrets of his own. Three days on the road should mean nothing. Instead, somewhere between storms, campfires, arguments, and the dangerous freedom of being nobody, Ari begins to trust him. Maybe even more than trust him. But the farther they travel, the closer they come to the war Ari was trying to escape-and to the truth about the man walking beside her. Because monsters are easy to fear when they exist only in stories. They're much harder to understand once you know their name.

River Astor has never believed knowledge should be forbidden. Top of her class at Nox Academia, the world's oldest academy of magic, River spends her nights brewing illegal potions, researching outlawed spells, and quietly proving that the professors are wrong about almost everything. Rules are useful only until they stand between her and the truth. After all, she was raised by a legendary mage and a half-fey, half-angel collector of impossibilities. Disobedience runs in the family. But when a student dies attempting an ancient spell that should no longer exist, whispers of a forgotten magical society begin spreading through the academy's stone halls. Forbidden grimoires vanish from locked archives. Impossible enchantments appear where no magic should survive. Someone is reviving disciplines so dangerous they were erased from history itself. As suspicion falls on the one student reckless enough to understand such magic, River finds herself caught between the academy that would happily expel her and the shadowy organization eager to recruit her. To uncover the truth, she'll have to decide what kind of scholar she wants to become. Because some knowledge changes the world. Other knowledge destroys it. And Nox Academia was built atop secrets that were never meant to be remembered.
