She was never meant to catch an earl's eye. He was never meant to want her to. Cordelia Vane has mastered the art of being invisible in ballrooms-until Lord Frederick Ashby, the taciturn Earl of Hollowthorn, notices her across a crowded musicale and forgets to look away. Frederick needs a suitable wife to save his crumbling Yorkshire estate. Cordelia needs one Season to secure her father's medical legacy. Neither expected stolen glances in tropical glasshouses, letters that burn to be written, or a connection that defies every rule of the ton. But when a ruthless rival sets her sights on Frederick and society whispers about matches that should not happen, both must decide if love is worth the cost of being truly seen. Between scandal sheets tracking their every proximity, a godmother who delights in efficient matchmaking, and the excruciating etiquette of wanting someone in a world that catalogues every acceptable way to say nothing at all, Cordelia and Frederick must learn that some choices cannot be undone-and some hearts cannot be guarded forever. ©️ Relle H.

Now trapped inside a system built on control, politics, and silent manipulation, she begins to realize something unsettling-she was never meant to lead. She was chosen. In a faculty where loyalty is transactional, alliances are fragile, and every move feels calculated, she stands at the center of a game she barely understands... yet refuses to play by its rules. They call her a project. They think they made her. But a chess piece that becomes self-aware? That's when the game breaks. _______ "You're the President now" he began and I glanced at him. He was behind my desk, working on something. "You must not attend all classes" "I'm almost at the finish line. I can't drop from a 4.8 to a 2.6" I answered before shutting my eyes and he chuckled. "Richie was meaning to drop-" "No!" I immediately rejected. "Relax, I turned him down" he said and I let out an inward sigh. "But you can't avoid him forever, he is necessary" "Necessarily evil" I muttered. "Anyways, you will be having your first council meeting with the executives-" "Not interested" There was silence for a second. "You are the President" I shot up the sofa, "even though I get into a horrible accident and lose my memory, I wouldn't forget that!" He paused, letting out a breath, his eyes still fixed on me. "You can't avoid this one. It's-" "-necessary?" "Yes. You need to speak to the people running this government with you. You have nothing to worry about, they are all on our side" "Except the Vice president. He is the spy" "At least, you are getting used to things" he answered and I huffed, falling back on the sofa. "You have some core functions you can't outrun. I have promised to handle the non-core functions" "I didn't know being a pawn was this demanding" He chuckled.

Murtasim Khan had never once been denied, until someone looked through him as though he were glass, her contempt so absolute it left no room even for hatred. The other took longer to understand what she'd been given.

The choice of who she wanted to be, and who she could ever become, was taken from her before she even knew it belonged to her. On the night her life was sealed away, her power was buried with it, and the truth of what she was became someone else's secret.

Everyone wants something from her: her devotion, her obedience, her power, and her silence. But buried things have a way of dragging themselves back out, and when Illyana begins to remember, the question is no longer whether she will survive, but what she will become when she learns what was taken from her.

"Every hour we spend on that planet will be... seven years back on Earth." For book-cover illustrator Arcalee, surviving the fluorescent-lit hell of a corporate call center requires two things: a complete lack of a social filter and a steady supply of "illegal but not technically prohibited" workplace shortcuts. She lives in her head, talks to her orange cat named Monkey, and views human society as a bunch of meaningless systems built on a round rock floating blindly through space. She isn't a role model. This isn't an inspirational story. It's a guide on what not to do. But Arcalee's carefully constructed bubble of cynical peace is about to pop. Enter Ryan Hutcherfield: a ridiculously tall, muscular new transfer with nerdy Superman glasses and a smug smirk that makes every woman in the department lose her mind. He's her brand-new cubicle neighbor. He's the guy who just tracked down her embarrassing social media book rants. And worst of all? He's the ghost from last year's office Christmas party; the one she vaguely remembers having a sloppy, drunken bathroom makeout session with while muttering biblical geography to his chest. Now trapped arm's length apart from 9 to 5, Arcalee is determined to be the worst desk partner in human history until he begs HR for a transfer. But Ryan isn't backing down. He knows exactly how to push her buttons, crack her hypervigilant walls, and correctly pronounce her name just to see her facial muscles twitch. Let the cubicle warfare begin. ✨ Office Romance ✨ Slow Burn ✨ Workplace Rivals ✨ Anti-Hero FMC ✨ Dark Humour ✨ Cosmic Dread and I guess existential crisisA

🔥 UM PACTO. UMA ACADEMIA. UMA INIMIGA QUE EU NÃO DEVERIA QUERER. Essa história nasceu de uma saudade. Quando terminei meu livro favorito - A Quarta Asa - fiquei com aquele vazio de quem não quer que acabe. Então comecei a escrever. Algo meu, mas com a mesma alma: academia mortal, magia que queima, e um amor que não deveria existir... mas existe mesmo assim. Inspiração: A Quarta Asa + A Canção de Aquiles (relação intensa entre duas mulheres) + Fourth Wing (dragões, mas reinventado) ───────────────── Vale não deveria existir. Criada nos subterrâneos de Pyrrha - academia flutuante onde os Portadores de elementos treinam para combater as Cinzas que devoram almas - ela era invisível. Descartável. Até o dia em que um ataque a fez despertar algo proibido. Algo que não deveria existir há duzentos anos. O Vazio. Agora, arrastada para um mundo que a odeia e a teme, Vale é forçada a se emparelhar com a única pessoa que não pode suportar: Isolde Voss, filha da Comandante-Geral, herdeira do fogo, e a cadete mais letal da geração. A regra é simples: se sua parceira morre, você morre. Se você a trai, as Cinzas vêm por você. Mas ninguém avisou sobre a terceira opção. Se você se apaixonar. Entre missões que destroem, noites onde o único calor é o da outra, e segredos que podem derrubar o Véu entre mundos, Vale e Isolde descobrem que a ligação entre elas vai além do pacto. Vai além da magia. E pode ser a única coisa que salva o mundo. Ou a última que o destrua. ───────────────── ❤️‍🔥 Sáfico | Dark Academia | Fantasia Romântica | Slow Burn ⚔️ Academia militar perigosa | Stakes mortais | Enemies to lovers 📖 Primeiro livro da série Pyrrha Academy "Ela me olhou como se eu fosse fogo e veneno ao mesmo tempo.
