Sweet, ambitious, and studious, Davina Benoit has spent her whole life overshadowed by her older sister. Pressured by her parents to follow in her footsteps, Davina enrolls in Rutherford Academy - a prestigious University, where students are classified into rigid categories, meant to define their roles in relationships. Determined to prove herself, Davina cheats on the category placement test, but she soon realizes that her deception has led her somewhere she doesn't belong. Relentless, fierce, and driven, Matthias Laurier has spent years burying his true self beneath a carefully crafted persona. He has no interest in attachments, especially not with someone like Davina-who, unbeknownst to her, is his perfect match in ways neither of them understand. As their connection deepens, Matthias is forced to confront the side of himself he has sworn to keep hidden. In a world that demands labels, can they embrace who they really are before it's too late? The slow burn is burning at a medium heat, so all I ask is a little bit of patience, but if you want to get straight into it, go to chapter X Trigger Warnings * DDLG | BDSM * Physical and mental abuse * extensively written sex scenes Once again, this is a BDSM/DDLG book, if you aren't familiar with those terms, I strongly dissuade from reading With love, Sophie

This school year, he's planning to do the same. But things change when the commoner isn't like the others. She's a fighter. Yet no matter the fire in her eyes, she was just another commoner who would always remain beneathe him, he just needed to her remind her of her place. And in Eres, he wanted her gone. But what happens when a fierce rivalry turns into attraction? When the target lowers her guard, and the bully's heart turns soft? One thing's for sure: We'll all be damned. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For only fire can melt even the purest of gold.
