Brooklyn Lenning has always been the invisible girl, the social wallflower, for as long as she can remember, sheltered and happy from the real world in her all girls' boarding school in England. The day came though when her family recalls her to the fashionable Lenning Corporate buisness world in sixth grade, giving birth to her new phobia. Life at Kingston High, a private high school, is all right, she wasn't the only one brought back from England, her best friends came with her. Under their protection, Brooklyn survives life at Kingston at the top of the social ladder, so to speak, with her best friends at her side, shielding her, the youngest and most innocent of them all. They're not just her friends, but her sisters, her boarder sisters, and they'll do anything to protect one of their own. Even to protect her from her greatest fear, her fear of boys, more specifially, good-looking teenage boys.
So here she is considered in the popularity clique of Kingston High but also a bit forgotten, after all she doesn't do anything remarkable or scandalous like her besties, just homework, track team, family charity balls, nothing unusual for any student at Kingston's private high school. No one questions her distance from guys- no dating, no guy friends, no nothing- she just fades into the crowd of her friends as they subtly help her away from their boyfriends. But Brooklyn's entire world changes the moment Zachary Darkthorn enters her life.
Darkthorn was your typical rich popular playboy- badass, ladies' man, the Golden Boy, star quarterback- he had it all, all except the grades evidently when a little mistake in his English homework threatened his position on the football team. Desperate, he asks for a tutor and is thrown into the life of Brooklyn Lenning, the social wallflower.
Every Wednesday, at 4pm in the little nook of the History section, Brooklyn is forced to literally face her fear for an hour. Will Zachary Darkthorn be her cure or her downfall?

Edison Academy looks perfect from the outside. Prestige, reputation, legacy. It has everything money can buy and nothing that feels real. Behind its marble halls and immaculate uniforms, the powerful hide their sins where no one dares to look.
Dmitri Armand didn't come here to teach. His position is only a cover, a way to get close to the rot buried deep within the academy. He thought he was prepared for anything this place could throw at him until he met Rhys Martinez.
Brilliant, reckless, and unafraid, Rhys has a way of drawing Dmitri in against every rule and every instinct to stay away. What begins as curiosity turns into a dangerous fascination that neither of them can control.
In a world built on ambition, lies, and privilege, one forbidden connection could destroy them both. And when the truth finally comes to light, Dmitri will learn that the most dangerous thing at Edison isn't the secret he's hiding. It's the boy who sees right through him.
