When Raven agrees to help sheltered Cassian complete his list of firsts in exchange for cash, it's strictly business-until their deal ignites an undeniable chemistry neither of them saw coming. *** After making a deal to finish her last year at Briarwood Academy in exchange for a shot at her dream job, 18 year old Raven Castillo has one mission: graduate and get out. No fights. No distractions. No complications. Cassian Hawthorne has spent his life buried in books, sheltered by his overprotective parents. But with college looming, he's ready to change that. He has a list of firsts to complete, and the unbothered new girl seems like the perfect person to help him. *** She needs the cash. He needs the experience. It's just business... until addictive kisses, lingering touches, and stolen glances make it anything but. What happens when their deal turns into something neither of them can control? Will they allow these sparks to fly, or will their personalities be far too different to carry on? ☪︎ ִ ࣪𖤐 𐦍 ☾𖤓 𝐁𝐚𝐝 𝐆𝐢𝐫𝐥 𝐱 𝐆𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐲 [CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE] #1 in goodboy #1 in badgirl #1 in badgirlgoodboy #1 in plottwist #1 in forbiddenlove #1 in bucketlist #2 in steamy #2 in lovestory #3 in teenromance

For centuries, Lucian Drazel Valemont, the feared Vampire King, has ruled from the shadows-immortal, untouchable, and cursed with a heart of stone. Legends speak his name with dread, for he is said to bring ruin wherever he walks. To Lucian, love is a weakness long buried with the ashes of his past. In a quiet village at the edge of his dark kingdom lives Aria Celeste Moreau, a simple girl who has always felt invisible in her own world. Gentle yet resilient, she dreams of a life beyond her small village, never imagining that destiny has already marked her as the key to breaking a king's eternal curse. When a fateful night draws her into the Vampire King's path, their worlds collide. Aria should fear him, yet she finds herself captivated by the man behind the monster. And for Lucian, Aria is a dangerous temptation-the light that threatens to shatter his carefully built darkness. But their love is forbidden. Humans call him a monster. Vampires call her a weakness. Together, they must defy a world set against them, uncover the truth of Aria's hidden bloodline, and face the prophecy that binds their souls. In the clash between eternal night and fragile dawn, only one question remains: Will their love be strong enough to break the curse-or will it destroy them both?

Summary: You always dreamed of becoming a successful fashion designer, sharing your creations with the world and bringing honor to your father. But with his severe illness and mounting expenses weighing solely on your shoulders, your plans changed, forcing you to pursue an alternative route. An intriguing offer led you to the elderly Alex Burgess, who immediately employed you as a housemaid for excellent pay. Your compassionate nature and exceptional understanding, however, convinced him to offer you an additional task with doubled compensation: gaining the trust of Dream of the Endless, imprisoned in the family's basement for over a century. Despite being stunned upon discovering such an otherworldly being stripped of clothing and trapped in a cramped glass sphere, financial necessity for your father's care compelled your acceptance. As you spoke to this mysterious anthropomorphic personification who never uttered a word, you found yourself drawn into his eyes that seemingly encompassed the entire universe. An ineffable bond formed between you, separated only by a substantial transparent barrier. You couldn't have anticipated that what commenced as modest household job would ultimately transform your existence irrevocably. ✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ I began writing and posting this ongoing story on AO3 in late 2022.
