Carina, a small town Italian beauty, moves to St. Theresa's Boarding Academy--the same school her mother, the late Valentina Castiglione, shook up with her presence decades ago. In the midst of packing for her move, she discovers her mother's high school diary--which details all of the sexual (mis)adventures she faced while at St. Theresa's.
Deciding to emulate that image once she arrives at St. Theresa's, Carina soon transforms herself to the most beautiful and desired girl on campus. In the midst of doing so, she seduces her art teacher, Mr. Hummels, into a clandestine relationship; and she garters the attention of the school's self-righteous star footballer Robert Lewandowski as well--but lust soon turns to obsession, and Carina realizes too late that if she wishes to elude her mother's tragic fate, she'll have to give up her mother's glamorous and seductive lifestyle altogether as well.

Aurelia Mariane Lombardi wasn't exactly the "stand-out" type-until Teachers' Day came with an opportunity she couldn't resist. Students were given the chance to step in as teachers, and Aurelia instantly volunteered to substitute for the arts class-dragging her best friend along for the ride.
What she didn't expect was him.
The boy with those gentle glasses, whose eyes seemed to hold the secrets of heaven itself. The kind of gaze that made her feel seen in a way that was both thrilling and terrifying.
Now Aurelia is caught in the whirlwind of her own teenage heart: should she risk being her awkward, embarrassingly obvious self, or keep her crush locked away in silence?
Because sometimes, love starts not with grand gestures, but with the quiet magic of a single glance.
