Yan Ng is the poorest student at Two Bridges Academy. While her peers are heiresses to great fortunes, her family struggles to get by selling treats at their small humble bakery. Lucky for them, Yan is at the top of her class. But behind closed doors, she feels inadequate as if nothing she ever does is enough.

Enter Maia and Ainsley, two girls who swoop in and make her a part of their friend group. For the first time, she feels like she belongs at her preppy private school, but that's because they've confused her family for the owners of Ng Corporation, a massive overseas distribution company. Yan plays along, lying as much as she could to stay with her new rich friends.

But when someone from her past threatens to expose her secret after a horrible misunderstanding, she must lie even more to cover her tracks. Can she hold up her elaborate facade or will she be exposed as one of Two Bridges's four charity cases?All Rights Reserved

A friend To Remember. by zephina__

**** Money. Wealth. Fame. Power. They have it all. But beneath the glitz and glamour lies something far more sinister. Denise never imagined that her past was a lie. That twelve years ago, her life had been stolen from her. Growing up in the slums of Lagos, she learned not to dream-dreams didn't belong to people like her. All she wanted was a way out, a job to pull her and her sister out of poverty. But when the truth comes crashing down, her simple existence is ripped apart. She isn't just another struggling girl-she is the long-lost daughter of one of Nigeria's wealthiest families. And they want her back. Thrown into a world of untold riches, Denise is expected to adjust, to play her part in a life she never knew existed. But not all that glitters is gold. Her twin sister despises her, her new family is drowning in secrets, and the mystery of her kidnapping looms over her like a dark shadow. To make things worse, Bellrich Academy-the elite school she now attends-is a battlefield of ruthless rich teens, social hierarchies, and cruel mind games. And lurking beneath it all? A serial killer picking off students one by one. In this world, failure is not an option. Survival means navigating deadly secrets, deadly people, and deadly truths. Because in the world of the elite, the most dangerous thing Denise can be-is unprepared.

House of Broken Promises | The Glass Cage Chronicles Book 1 by SheLovesAGoodStory_

In the quiet halls of academia, Mia Carter, a shy and unassuming college senior, crosses paths with the enigmatic and powerful Asahi Nakamura, a visiting CEO with a charm as sharp as his ambition. Drawn into his magnetic world, Mia finds herself navigating a connection that feels too good to be true. But beneath the surface of polished smiles and whispered promises lies a fragile line between desire and control. As Mia steps deeper into Asahi's orbit, the walls of her carefully built life begin to shift, and cracks she can't yet see threaten to shatter everything she thought she knew. Secrets, power, and vulnerability collide in a story where nothing is as perfect as it seems. Will Mia uncover the truth before it's too late, or will she become trapped in a glass cage of her own making? 💕💕💕 Thank you all so much for your incredible support!

Cold Hearted Devil For A Partner by Kadenereadaholic

Joshua Taylor. Whenever people hear that name, they would shake with fear. Why? Because that name belongs to the school's bad boy. He was mysterious, rude, cold hearted and is always getting in trouble. He was a cold hearted player who didn't care about anyone. Most people fear him and even though he treats them like a used washcloth most girls would give anything just to date him. They'll even throw themselves at him hoping he'll care for them. Alexandra Miller wasn't one of those girls though. She is a regular girl who always gets good grades and would rather sit in her room reading a book all day than go out. She tries to avoid drama and didn't care much for guys like Joshua Taylor. What would happen when all of that changes? What would happen when Alexandra has a run-in with Joshua? Would he make her life a living hell? Maybe... One thing is for sure, Alexandra wishes that she didn't have anything to do with the bad boy. Also, she wishes she hadn't built a chemistry with him because with his reputation it could only lead to heartbreak. ****** Thanks for checking out my story. Please keep in mind that this was my very first book, so it isn't my best. It's very tacky and cliché. My other stories have improved and are way better. **** Wonderful cover made by @Qveen_Neisha_Boo
