Sylvia dreams vividly. Increasingly she's finding these dreams hard to forget, but that's not a problem, right?
Life at Samjay's is pretty tedious. Same teachers trying to stretch her, same housemistress watching her every move, same scenery in the grounds that they're forbidden from leaving. Even her best friends Zack and Elliot are resorting to increasingly elaborate schemes to keep themselves entertained. Luckily her partner in crime Luciel is on hand to stop her getting into too much trouble, joining her on escapades involving conspiracy theories, exotic environments, and out-smarting the baddies by finding novel uses for toothpaste.
But when a stranger arrives at the institute, things start getting a little to real for Sylvia's liking. Can she keep her cool under changing circumstances, or is her imagination getting out of control?

Ripples Of Secrets
Elena couldn't be more excited about the new community development program for noble, academic reasons... but let's be honest - she's mostly excited because it involves working with athletes. Athletes = muscles. Muscles = potential boyfriends. And potential boyfriends = the long-overdue end of her tragic "Single Since 2019" era. Plus, if the universe finally stops laughing at her romantic misfortunes, she might even get to tag along with her college's athletic team on their trip to New Jersey - land of bagels, boardwalks, and possibly cute foreign exchange players. So yes, Elena is ready. Ready for love. Ready for adventure. Ready for... absolutely anything except what she actually gets: A collision course with a quiet, hoodie-wearing disaster named Ryan Kingston. Ryan Kingston - the campus myth, the billionaire's heir, the human equivalent of a locked door. He's got the looks of a brooding romance novel hero... and the social skills of a brick wall. Rumor says he has a female allergy. Not figurative. Literal. If a girl stands too close, he tenses like someone is pointing a crossbow at him. Elena finds this absolutely ridiculous. Until she meets him. And he actually backs away like she's holding a weaponized scented candle. But Ryan has his reasons - A spotlight he never asked for. A family empire that screams drama with a side of taxes. And the talent of disappearing into hoodies like he's auditioning to become a shadow. Now their worlds are about to collide - hers full of caffeine-fueled optimism, accidental disasters, and questionable flirting choices; his full of rules, emotional escape routes, and enough distance to qualify as a Wi-Fi problem.

Adler | The Monarch & The Heirs BOOK 2.
Book Two of The Adler series ** Cassandra Lovett had pictured her summer holiday to be a break from her prep school scene filled with superficial snobs and shred her big wheels to cruise downtown, go on movie night marathons with her best friend and get up to wild, outlandish adventures. What she hadn't pictured was a brutal split between her parents spurred by a scandalous affair, getting shunned by her own so called friends and neighbours to be sent packing out to an estranged uncle further down south. As if having her whole life fall apart wasn't bad enough, she's forced to start her new one enrolled in St. Sinclair Academy; an elite school rumoured to groom the most absurdly rich and intellectual heirs of aristocrats and billionaires across Europe. Cassandra is certain her new school life is going to be the worst but what she doesn't know is that she'd stumbled into the domain of the most infamous clique highly esteemed not on the academy grounds but at the pinnacle of the elite society, The Monarch. They were the last people anyone dared to oppose, rivalled to no other and envied to no end and they ruled St. Sinclair. Most importantly, powerful people like them were meant to be a myth, but what Cassandra would soon learn was that the world she lost was the actual fairytale- this, was the truth. ** This CANNOT be read as a standalone. There will be reappearances of characters from the first book, mentions of previous incidents and yeah, I think you get the gist.Complete
