Well-protected, she has no idea of the darkness surrounding Xavier Hunt, with his all-black attire and infrequent presence in school-accompanied by his bruises and scars. That is, until Haley catches a glimpse of Xavier's reality and is made to question everything she knows about family and life in general. The truth, she realizes, couldn't be more different from everything she has heard. Supported by her father, Haley sets her mind on helping Xavier any way she can, and what begins with tutoring sessions, free food, and random acts of kindness blooms into friendship and something a little more. But when Haley's admission into her dream college and another tragedy in Xavier's life threaten to undo everything she has worked for, Haley needs to decide if she'll stick by Xavier or simply be another person in his life that disappears.

Everin Blackwell The first girl born into the Blackwell dynasty in over ten generations. The Blackwells are one of the oldest, richest, and most feared families in the world ruling the highest tiers of society alongside the Drache, Vanguard, Cambridge, Hastings, and Calloway families. Together, they are the unseen hand behind power, privilege, and secrets that span continents. For the past five years, Everin has lived in seclusion, tucked away at a prestigious boarding school in England. No contact with her family, just an annual visit from the father who raised her like a stranger. Her mother's death has blown out the candle of this once united family. What happens when shes the only witness. When she knows what really happened that day. When shes blamed for her silence on the matter and yet shes been growing a seed of revenge for years. But now, Everin is returning home. And she is no longer the same girl who left. She carries secrets-dangerous ones. And something else is changing inside her. Her five older brothers, distant and cold, claim to feel nothing for the sister they barely know. But when the truth begins to surface-that Everin is dying and only has a small chance of surviving-everything begins to unravel. Will they discover the truth before it's too late? Or will their silence, resentment, and guilt destroy her first? Everin, however, has her own mission. She's willing to risk everything to uncover the truth-even if it means attending a hidden academy designed to awaken the powerful gifts buried in her bloodline. But unlocking her power comes with a cost. As deadly secrets rise and new alliances form, can Everin survive the legacy she was born into? And will the other heirs see her as one of their own-or as the threat she's destined to become? ... Book cover credit (Pinterest) (Sahrosh Editx) ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Ravenna Eira is a rising star at Lozano College of the Philippines, admired for her singing, beauty, brain, and talent. But behind her calm and confident appearance hides a storm she inherited from her mother-a past full of heartbreak, betrayal, and unfinished pain. Her mother, Eira Patriarca, once shared a deep and true love with a man-only to be torn apart when his family decided there was someone "perfect" for their son, and she was not it. The heartbreak was so deep that it drove her mother to the edge of sanity, leaving her trapped in a fragile mind and a life shadowed by loss. Years later, the same man comes back-but this time, the tables have turned. Broken hearts, lies, and obsession blur the line between justice and revenge. Watching the man who destroyed her mother's happiness, Vera is determined to make him feel the chaos he once caused. Vera's weapons are her charm, intelligence, and her endless patience. She enters the world of Theodore Maximilian Lozano-a powerful councilor, devoted father, and married man whose life seems untouchable. With every song, every jokes, every look, and every careful move-she turns every encounter into a trap, awakening desires he never expected and sparking obsessions he cannot control. But while Vera moves her pieces in this dangerous game, John Jude Fadriquela watches from the shadows. Quiet and loyal, his love for her runs deep, hidden beneath calm eyes. Always ready to protect her, he offers unwavering support, standing close even as the world around her grows darker and more threatening. But revenge is never simple. As Theodore falls deeper, Vera realizes that obsession has its own cost, and the line between justice and cruelty begins to disappear.
