    "You're dreaming, I should think," His breath caressed my skin. It was there and then gone, far too fleeting. "So why am I here, Sixteen?" I didn't have an answer. "I don't know," I muttered. My heart thumped noisily in my chest. I could not think. "Can you make it stop?" His eyes flitted over mine. I could feel him like an infection. Crawling through my veins, warming my blood, shutting down my organs one by one until I was helpless, left with no other option aside from watching as he overtook me. "Do you want me to make it stop?" He gently tilted my head up. I was soundless as this all unfolded, unable to fight it, unsure if I even wanted to. ~ After Sixteen is abducted and taken to Hawkins Lab, she must adjust to life under the oppressive glare of Martin Brenner. Peter Ballard, an orderly who oversees her training, aims to the transition all the more difficult.

    When a fire takes everything from Mia, her parents, her home, and the life she once knew, she is adopted by her mother's best friend, Jules Kingsley. Moving into the Kingsley mansion should be a fresh start, but her new brother, Damon, has other plans. Damon is ruthless, possessive, and impossible to avoid. He's made it his mission to remind Mia that she doesn't belong, and their hatred for each other burns brighter with every interaction. But living under the same roof means there is no escape, no distance, no way to keep the lines from blurring. He wants control. He wants her submission. He wants her, no matter how wrong it is.

    Emily savait dès la première seconde que c'était une erreur. Travailler avec Daven ? L'homme le plus froid, le plus arrogant, le plus insupportablement séduisant qu'elle ait jamais rencontré ? Mauvaise idée. Tout les oppose : elle veut garder les choses professionnelles, il aime provoquer, tester ses limites, jouer avec le feu. Mais il y a cette tension. Incontrôlable. Un regard de trop. Un mot glissé trop bas. Une proximité qui fait vaciller toutes les certitudes. Ils auraient pu s'arrêter. Ils ne l'ont pas fait.

    ***two-three chapters updated every few days*** Twenty-year-old Elaris Ignistar has been raised for one purpose- to take the Raevian throne and lead an empire of dragons and fae. As the future Empress, she's inherited more than her family's shadows and command of armies. She's burdened with the legacy of a civil war, a father executed for allying with vampires, and a Council that will test her every breath. Her last chance to prove she deserves the crown is The Highborn Academy, where the heirs of the four elemental territories train to rule-or to destroy each other. On her first night, everything shatters. Elaris discovers her fated mate is Darian Volcaryn, the ruthless dragon-bonded heir of Fire...and the childhood best friend who's spent years avoiding her. He wants to protect her but keeps a punishing distance, fighting the bond that burns between them. Then her current boyfriend, golden and charming Ferrow Serene, is caught in someone else's arms, and the girl who was supposed to rule unbreakable steps into the Academy already heartbroken. When the holy Ascendant Falls judge Elaris and place her at the head of Rank One, the most powerful students in the realm, she's thrust into the center of a deadly game of politics, prophecy, and war training. Commanders watch her every move. Dragons answer when she calls. Enemies whisper that a vampire uprising is stirring beyond Raevia's borders-and some of the high families would rather see Elaris fall than wear the crown.

    She wasn't looking for him- yet he kept crashing into her life like heat she wasn't ready for. Enemies in school. Disasters in college. Two people who fought like they hated each other and felt everything like they shouldn't. His stare lingered too long. Her breath hitched too easily. The tension between them? Dangerous... electric... wrong in all the ways that made it unforgettable. The jealousy, the chaos, the fire. Every fight burned deeper. They pushed each other away. They pulled each other back. And in the spaces between their anger and desire, something reckless began to bloom. Whatever lived between them wasn't simple- it was a fire they fed with every glare, every word, every breath... and neither of them knew how to stop burning.

    Tessa Rowan and Elias Hart have hated each other since the first week of school. She's competitive, organized, and powered by iced coffee and spite. He's brilliant, lazy-looking, and somehow always one step ahead of her without even trying. They're tied for top of the class. They're allergic to agreeing on anything. And now, thanks to one tragically clueless teacher, they're partners for the year-long project that decides their futures. Forced to work side by side, Tessa and Elias discover: Arguing is... weirdly fun. Compromising is... annoyingly intimate. And the more they fight, the more something else sparks underneath. But rivalry has a close cousin: obsession. And obsession has a dangerous way of turning into something deeper - something that scares them more than failing a grade. Because under all the sarcasm and academic warfare, one of them is beginning to realize: He would burn the whole world down before he lets her get hurt. Enemies, partners, disasters waiting to happen - Tessa and Elias are one project away from learning that sometimes the person you can't stand... might just be the person you can't let go.

Students whisper she's "unapproachable," but Sarah catches these tiny moments where Paula's guard slips-like when she laughs at Sarah's sarcastic comments or seems way too interested in her essays. At first they're both chill. Professional. Normal. Totally pretending they don't feel that weird magnetic thing happening.
