❝ The question is, are you worth your weight in gold? ❞  

Reputation is a sacred sheet of parchment at Forteux Academy. 

Handled carefully, it can become a bill of gold leading one to a life of riches. Yet a mere foot in the wrong direction can tear its dainty form until the misstepped individual goes tumbling down the very social hierarchy they were once so eager to ascend.

When a mistake left behind from the crowned Queen's darkest night rocks up in the form of a handsome newcomer, Louisa Darling is more desperate than ever to keep everything under covers in her elite circle.

The taste of jealousy, bitterness, hate and love is beyond dangerous in a world where everyone is used to getting what they want. 

And with one desperate to hide a secret that the other is determined to seek, things are bound to get damn complicated.

(Before You Leave #1) She was sent to boarding school over the smallest of mistakes... Okay, burning down your schools gym might have been a big one. But she didn't mean to do it. This time. And she's certainly no snitch. She's had a fine life. But she wanted something more. And so she created chaos. She was misjudged and misunderstood. And now she's the havoc of Birchwood Prep. They call her the devil's bitch, the principal's worst nightmare, and a screwed up whore. They can think what they want, JJ Ashton has heard these all throughout high school. She doesn't want a future, she just wants to take control of now. She's everything Birchwood Prep doesn't want, but is deemed to get after her Father decided it was the only option for her to find some discipline. She's not going to make it that easy for them. Gideon Andrews is the perfect student. Good grades, never missed a day, and never had been in trouble of any sort. He thinks life is great, but meeting JJ, she thinks life for him could be better. Less plain and vanilla. He hates her guts. It's mutual for her as well. But the headmaster has made it Gideon's personal mission to get her back on track and into a better life. She's allowed two screw ups, has to join a sports team, pass all of her classes with at least a C and get some friends before the year is over, or she will be held back. And she's not about to go another year in the hellhole called high school. (Marked mature for language and brief talk about sex.) *Still editing parts/making corrections* (Sequel is called: When I Stay)

Prince Riccardo De L'Aquila. My driven, commanding, and insatiable husband. I'm ferociously addicted to him - being pleasured by him until I am sore and my breath is battered, to see him crave me with a need as fervor and blindingly fierce as mine. He is the most beautiful alpha-male I've ever known. Yet he is also the man who remains tormented at the core by the darkest shadows of his past and mine. Our excruciating past, harrowing sufferance, and constant need for love and permanency is what unites us and makes us entangled in a way nothing else can. I have surrendered myself to him - to let the scorching heat consume me. We are the two tortured souls who have allowed each other to know the deepest, darkest secrets we have been holding in our hearts for years. He is my match in every sense. Our life together is truly just the beginning. Now there is no going back or hiding secrets or avoiding sharing them by ending up tangled in sheets or wherever we can make rough, raw love that can make me forget my purpose of arguing with him or questioning him. Despite my complete submission to him, Rico has shown me that I can be loved intensely. And in turn, I have shown Rico that he is my entire universe, totally worthy of my love and that I belong to him in every sense. Our past has always been an unrelenting demon that has stemmed insecurities and nightmares in both of us, but together, there has been nothing that has kept us from healing from the torment of our past. At least till now. But it's never enough. His fierce need to protect me won't let him make me a part of his fight and I fear his hesitance might push me beyond the brink of devastation. No one has the power to break us, but us. Welcome to the final installment of The Scent Trilogy which is rife with intimacy and emotion - the pinnacle of explosive disagreements, of times where trust was proved and broken, of vows that will be put to the test.

I know she deserves that even if I don't know anything about her. She's such a hard book to read. I want to know her. Learn all about her. And I do.
