"We both know I ruined this tight little pussy for anyone else." He pulls out almost completely, then slams back in with a wet, filthy sound that makes me cry out. He leans in, lips brushing my ear as he fucks me senseless. "No one else is ever gonna make you cum like this, Adriana. No one else is ever gonna own this pussy the way I do. And you fucking know it." - - - At an elite international boarding school, anonymity is law. The heirs of the world's most powerful criminal empires - mafia, cartels, and syndicates - attend under first names only. No last names. No identities. No exceptions. Antonio is feared for a reason. Fueled by rage and backed by power, he rules the academy through intimidation alone. Adriana is just as dangerous - stubborn, sharp-tongued, and the cousin of one of the most brutal ex-cartel enforcers alive. For three years, they've hated each other with a passion. Every conversation turns into a fight. Every glance into a challenge. And somehow, neither of them knows when to walk away. What could possibly go wrong when two of the most dangerous souls in the school are obsessed with breaking one another? In a place where secrets can kill and passion burns hotter than vengeance... everything.

The last time she saw him was in her bed. Capri Yorke thought her bad luck had finally broken the night she met Hayden Williams. Hot, charming... and amazing in bed. Then he ghosted her. So, imagine her surprise when he shows up months later as a camp counselor at her summer job, looking even sexier and smirking like he didn't completely wreck her. Now, thanks to a prank gone wrong, they're stuck sharing a bunk. Capri should hate him. The problem? She doesn't trust herself not to kiss him. And Hayden has never met a rule he didn't love breaking.

A flawless ice princess and the lion-boy narcissist who wants to melt her. Rhea Caldwell was cool, calm, and collected at all times. She thought she had everything under control. Not in the casual sense, literally. Her life was shaped with precision: perfect grades, a carefully mapped-out future career, and a circle of not-so-perfect girlfriends she chose anyway. But there was one thing she couldn't figure out. Her...bland sex life. Nothing excited her enough, nothing gave her that satisfaction she needed. Pleasure went out of the window, clouded by law school preparation until temptation pushed her toward an unlikely solution, one that became even more complicated when her "godlike" highschool now college academic rival offered to help. Cameron Pierson was as brilliant as her, and just as he was unbearably narcissistic. Arrogant, charming, infuriating and angelically attractive. He never belonged in her world, but somehow forcefully carved out a space in it anyway. And now with their friend groups mixing, he's closer than ever. She never planned to let him touch her but under the premise of one favor she does and everything shifts. ━━━━⊱❆⊰━━━━ 𝐓 𝐇 𝐄 𝐓 𝐄 𝐌 𝐏 𝐓 𝐌 𝐄 𝐒 𝐄 𝐑 𝐈 𝐄 𝐒 ♛ 1 Teach Me, Tempt Me ❆ 2 Please Me, Tempt Me ☘︎ 3 Ruse Me, Tempt Me ━━━━⊱❆⊰━━━━ 𝐇 𝐈 𝐆 𝐇 𝐄 𝐒 𝐓 𝐑 𝐀 𝐍 𝐊 𝐈 𝐍 𝐆 𝐒 #1 narcissism #1 golden boy #1 golden girl #1 rivalry #rivals to lovers ━━━━⊱❆⊰━━━━ 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐄𝐃: 2025/09/02 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐃: 2025/ 11/12

First book 🏒. Starting college was supposed to be Violet Vale's escape plan. New country. New city. New campus. And then there's Ethan Maddox-tattoos inked like warnings, that infuriating smirk, and a six-foot-five presence that fills every room like he owns it. Her brother's best friend. Her worst enemy. And now? Her accidental shadow at Northbridge University. Violet's spent years trading insults and eye-rolls with Ethan, ever since he became an honorary part of her family. But there's nothing brotherly about the way he looks at her now-or the way her pulse reacts when he calls her Vi like it's some kind of challenge. He's cocky. Infuriating. One year older. And the only person on campus who makes her feel anything at all. They're not friends. Definitely not something more. But the line between hate and something far messier is starting to blur. And when hearts get tangled... Someone's going to fall. Warning: May contain profanity and sexual content.

His lips felt so good on mine and I wanted to stay like this forever. "For a long time, I've always wanted to know what your lips tasted like. And now I know. Soft, sweet and sugary," He said in between kisses and rubbed his thumb across my jawline softy. "I just can't find it in me to stay away from you. And the thought of you with him changes something in me," He leaned his forehead back on mine and closed his eyes for a few seconds. "Damon I-" "Shhh," He mumbled and kissed my lips again.

❝Goddammit! I hate you! I hate you and your dumb voice! and your stupid muscles and your awfully attractive face!❞ ❝You think I'm attractive?❞ ❝Fuck no!❞ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Dangerous, wild and rebellious. Calm, cool and collected. Darya just wants one thing; to get through her senior year of high school with little or no awkward interaction as possible. Especially not with a secret like hers. Ethan just wants one thing; get through his senior year of high school with little or no awkward interaction as possible. Both of their only wish proves hard to do when they both become each other's earned arch-enemy hell-bent on making each other's lives a living hell. But when they become academic rivals and forced to be paired for a school project, they both realize they want each other as much as they hate each other.

"Ethan, I-" "I know every single inch of your body and I know that scar wasn't there before so tell me who did this to you."

FORBIDDEN ENEMIES WITH BENEFITS Dark, twisted, and heartbreakingly passionate, it's a forbidden love story about enemies with benefits, obsession, revenge, addiction, and a love that refuses to die, even when the world demands it. How can it be wrong if it feels so fucking right? ... And then his mouth was on mine. It wasn't soft. It wasn't careful. It was a collision of teeth, breath, desperation and fucking vodka. My back hit the mirror, the cracked glass rattling as his hands slid up my thighs, gripping, lifting me like I weighed nothing. "Lorenzo-" "Shut up," he rasped against my lips, kissing me harder. "Just - shut up." I clawed at his shoulders, nails digging into his skin through the thin fabric of his shirt. He groaned, the sound vibrating against my mouth, and pressed closer, his hips slotting between my legs as he pinned me to the mirror. Every inch of me screamed to shove him away. Every inch of me burned to pull him closer. His hands were everywhere, spreading over my waist, skimming up my sides, catching my jaw to tilt my head just so as his mouth devoured mine. The cracked mirror dug cold into my back, but the heat of him was a wildfire swallowing me whole. "You hate me, remember?" he muttered against my mouth, biting my bottom lip before sucking it back into a kiss. "I do," I gasped, nails scraping down his arms. "Good," he said darkly, kissing me again, harder this time. "Hate me harder." I did. I kissed him like it was a fight, like it was revenge, like it was the only way to breathe. ... fractured love trilogy #2 [can be read as a standalone]

Hayden Jones didn't mean to blow up her high school gym. She just meant to graffiti it. Now she's got a felony and a one-way ticket to some glorified boarding school in the Pacific Northwest. Caldwell Academy is not a fresh start. It's a reform school with nice pamphlets and a fountain and a judge's order keeping her here. The kind of place where everyone's got a story they don't tell and a reason they can't leave. She wasn't planning on making friends. She definitely wasn't planning on Elwood Hall and a bed six feet from a boy who doesn't smile, doesn't talk, and looks at her like she's a problem he didn't ask for. She should've left it at that. She should've left a lot of things at that. Because Caldwell has rules. And the thing about Hayden Jones is she's never met one she wouldn't break - even the ones that exist to protect her.
