Ever since Aster's mother died, home no longer feels like home. Now, she's little more than a prisoner behind gilded bars; her father growing more distant by the day, her best friend missing and possibly left for dead.

So when a letter from the royal family arrives, inviting her to stay in the palace, Aster agrees.   

She's only been to the palace once, a memory she's replayed countless times in her head, during her first fateful encounter with her fiancé. But when she comes face to face with Florian once more, he's cold and apathetic; a far cry from the boy she used to dream of.

As Aster struggles to come to terms with Florian's new demeanour, life in the palace reveals more than it's rose covered façade. The maze within its gardens hides thorns that cut deep, and the spirits who call it home want nothing more than to see her go. 

With all the odds against her, winning over her begrudging fiancé and the rest of the peanut gallery seems next to impossible. But with the help of her unflappable maid Fina, a brutally blunt swindler, and the apprentice of the palace's magical deviant, maybe Aster might just have a shot at her happily ever after.

Book 1 of The Fly Series . . . His eyes turn red and his jaw begins to tremble. "I'm toxic. I'm arrogant. I'm awful. What else? I'm a misogynist. A sadist. There's no good in me. I screwed up your life. I disgust you. I insulted your mother. You won't ever forgive me." He tightens his jaw before slamming his hand on the wall beside my head. "I know you want to say these things so say it. Tell me, Firefly. Tell me how traumatizing I am. TELL ME!" I don't hesitate. "I love you." His hooded eyes flaming with anger turn pale. He never expected the confession. Heck, I never expected this confession. 𝘕𝘰 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘢 𝘨𝘪𝘳𝘭 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺. . . . Elena Summer is an upbeat, optimistic girl who is hopeful of a bright happy future despite her dark turbulent past. She is all set to begin her Senior Year back in her hometown--the one that the Summers eloped from when she was three. Justin Castor is the byword for toxicity, arrogance, and cold behavior. He isn't a bully by nature, he's a bully by choice. He embraces the darkness as his kingdom. But every dark villain is known to have a darker past, right? Less of a grumpy-sunshine genre and more of a dark-meets-light spin-off when the city of Cadford unites these paradoxes with one tangled story that all leads back to the past.

Nova disguise as a boy to enter the military school. If she is discovered as a girl, she will be kicked out. She is desperate to hide from trackers who have been following her for a dozen years. No one would think to look for her in an all-male military school. She hides among werewolves and is one of the very few nonshifters at the school. She catches the new instructor's curiosity, and her identity is threatened. He claims to be her mate, but she knows that her kind don't have a mate and desperately tries to avoid him. If he stumbles upon her true identity, she is screwed. "What are you doing?!" growls his highness, ripping the knife from my hands. It tingles as his fingers close around my wrist. Fresh blood flows from the wound, turning his hands red. Deep throaty sounds, rumbling in his chest. "You hurt yourself," he says softly, pain evident in his voice. I look up and frown. "It's just a small cut," I reply, annoyed. None of the other cadets get this kind of attention. Besides, we have to learn this to pass the exam. "Shhh, it's going to be okay," he says, pressing me close. My whole side explodes with sparks. It tickles me. "You have to stop hurt yourself. Why are you even here? How am I going to protect you here?" he asks angrily. "I don't need your protection!" I shout, pushing him away. I get an angry growl back. Quickly I grab another knife and throws it over my shoulder, hitting bulls' eye. He glares at me, and the room has gone completely silent. That's when I discover that I may have gone too far with the insanely possessive highness, even though I'm grateful for the extra lessons he gives me. Then suddenly everyone hurries out of the training area. Leaving me alone with the growling, red eyed alpha. *This book contains graphic depictions of violence, sexuality, strong language, and other mature themes.* English is not my first language.
