Court of Flowers (Sutherland Book 1) by greenwriter

In Belcourt, they rear weapons no man can contend with: women. Sasha was never meant to be in the Court of Flowers, one of the most sought-after courts in Belcourt, but when she is suddenly placed there without warning, she discovers a world far from what she expected--one that reeks of passion, seduction, secrets, and betrayal. ***** Belcourt, an orphanage for young girls, keeps many secrets within its walls. Among those are the four courts that rear the kingdom's most powerful weapons: the Ladies of Belcourt. Sasha is safely tucked away in the Court of Libraries when Belcourt makes a sudden decision it has never done before in more than half a century. She is transferred into the Court of Flowers, the most famous court of all, where she is expected to service gentlemen who paid their way in for a Belle, a woman trained to please, seduce, and spy. Things take a turn when she is introduced to the mysterious West Blackwood who has a very different service in mind, one too tempting and one that may ultimately change Sasha's safe life in Belcourt. Torn between powerful forces, both the kingdom and Belcourt itself, Sasha will have to determine where her loyalties lie: to the man who not only infuriates her at every turn but also awakens sensations she never felt before? Or to the place that has always been her home since the day she walked away from a cottage with two dead bodies?

Into the Unknown by Mystery_Girl_0903

Evelyn Monroe's first day at Harrington University was supposed to be nothing more than the usual nerves of a freshman-until she encountered Adrian Blackwood. A young, charismatic professor whose presence filled the lecture hall, he quickly became the talk of the university. But there's more to him than meets the eye. Adrian's lectures aren't just about books-they're an exploration of the human mind, the darkest corners of it. He poses questions that make Evelyn's skin prickle, pushing her to think in ways she's never dared before. His gaze often lingers, intense and calculating, as if he's studying her every move. There's an unsettling depth to him that draws her in, yet leaves her feeling like she's standing on the edge of something she can't quite comprehend. Evelyn, a quiet and introspective literature student, has always found comfort in the written word, but Adrian's presence makes her question the lines between fiction and reality. His interest in her, though subtle, is undeniable. It's in the way he watches her during class, the quiet moments after lectures when their eyes meet, and the questions he asks that seem to cut deeper than a simple academic discussion. Though Evelyn doesn't understand it, she begins to feel a strange pull toward him. A mix of curiosity, intrigue, and unease. It's as if Adrian knows something she doesn't-something hidden beneath the surface of their everyday interactions. As she tries to focus on her studies and adjust to university life, she can't shake the feeling that her life is about to change in ways she never expected. With every class, every encounter, Adrian seems to reveal a new layer, and Evelyn finds herself wondering just how much she really knows about the professor who has begun to occupy her thoughts more than she'd like to admit.

Dark Keys of Uncomplacency by ssaint10

It's 1874, only a few years after the U.S. Civil War and Heinrich Schroder decides to leave his home country of Germany and settle in the modest city of Baltimore. An aspiring world-class composer, he quickly finds himself working under the lids of Steiff pianos ("Steiff" being the main manufacturer in the city), tuning the strings he so longed to master. Not long after his establishment in America, his clients and their families, some he considers friends, are murdered one-by-one. Deemed a prime suspect early on, Heinrich must work to clear his name by assisting the police in apprehending the real killer--months after the unsolved murder of his own friend, Klaus Planck and his girlfriend, the beautiful Emma Jung. What Heinrich didn't know was that this serial killer encounter would entangle the life of Allison Scott, an unassuming girl who has just moved to New Castle with her family--over 130 years later. In the summer of 2017, when days should be full of soccer and baseball and lounging the new house, Allison and her brother Julian are taken by surprise when they discover an old Steiff piano in the basement of the house across the street; a piano they believe to be haunted by the same serial killer that Heinrich Schroder was after. With her very own musical acumen, Allison works to solve the case of "Steiff-ling Slasher", picking up where Heinrich left off. Her life depends on it.

Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes.

Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.
