Love Like a Lyon
He's got the crown, but she's got his heart... Amelia James is a rising star at Juilliard-a 21-year-old music prodigy from Manhattan with raw talent, discipline, and a full-ride scholarship she refuses to waste. Her voice is undeniable. Her drive? Unshakable. But no one knows she's been keeping a secret: a whirlwind, private romance with none other than Hakeem Lyon, Empire's flashy young prince with a troubled past and a magnetic charm that defies logic. They met at a private industry party a year ago-one Hakeem wasn't even supposed to be at. Sparks flew, and soon they were sneaking late-night FaceTimes between rehearsals and secret meetups whenever his tour stopped in New York. What started as infatuation became something neither of them could shake. But Amelia is determined to make it on her own name-not as someone's girlfriend, and definitely not as a Lyon's. Everything changes when Empire's royal family-Cookie, Lucious, and Hakeem himself-walk through the doors of Juilliard for an exclusive scouting visit. The mission? To find the next big voice to sign. Hakeem pretends not to know Amelia. Cookie is impressed. Lucious smells something deeper-and he doesn't like secrets. Amelia must face a storm of pressure: Hide the truth and risk Hakeem thinking she's ashamed of him. Come clean and risk the Empire tearing apart everything she's built. Or walk away entirely to protect the career she's dreamed of. But Hakeem's not ready to lose the one person who sees him, not the Lyon name. And Amelia's heart may belong to music-but it beats loudest when he's near.Complete
Claimed By the Lyon
He's a Lyon-born to rule the stage, feared in the industry, and raised to believe love is just another game. She's the daughter of loyalty, raised oceans away, and never meant to fall for the empire's wildest son. When Leah Williams, a stunning 21-year-old from South London, steps off the plane in New York, she's ready for a new start. Her father-one of Lucious Lyon's oldest friends and business allies-has sent her to stay with the Lyons while she takes an internship at Empire. What she doesn't expect is to be living under the same roof as Hakeem Lyon, the prince of Empire, whose name alone makes headlines. Hakeem is used to women chasing him, not challenging him. But from the moment he meets Leah-her accent sharp, her attitude sharper-he's intrigued. She's not impressed by the fame, the money, or the Lyon charm. And that's exactly what makes her dangerous. As Leah moves into the Lyon mansion, tension simmers. Late-night studio sessions turn into quiet conversations, playful arguments into stolen glances. But when the press gets wind of their growing closeness, old wounds in the Lyon family begin to reopen. Lucious sees Leah as family. Cookie sees trouble. And Hakeem? He sees the one person who makes him want to be better. But in a world built on secrets, ambition, and betrayal, falling for Leah could cost him everything-including his family's empire. Because in the Lyon household, love isn't just a risk... it's a rebellion.Complete
