Boston, Harvard, but most of all, Imran. That’s what Sparrow wants.

Imran is physics and poetry, deep brown eyes and a smile that makes her heart race. And he’s the only guy she’s ever met who loves her brilliant mind as much as her beauty. They’ve spent the last year, meeting secretly online, and after she graduates from Masterson Academy next year, her plan is to join him in Boston.

But when American universities close their doors to women, Dad can’t resist the $15 million Sparrow will bring if he auctions her off in marriage, so if Sparrow wants a future with Imran, she’ll have to defy the odds and win her freedom.

In a country upended by the loss of millions of women, teenage girls have become a valuable and restricted commodity. But not every girl will let herself be sold--and Sparrow is one of them.All Rights Reserved

Pretty By Design by witheri

From a young age, Ava knew one thing: being pretty meant power, and power meant freedom. Raised in the shadow of her mother's tragic life-a life defined by mediocrity, poverty, and a mysterious boating accident-Ava vowed she would escape the same fate. Being unattractive was not an option; neither was being poor. She was tired of living small and vowed to claw her way to the top, using whatever tools she had: wit, ambition, and relationships. Navigating a world where beauty opens doors, Ava learns to sharpen her edges, turning herself into the woman men desire but never see coming. But as she rises higher, the stakes become deadlier. When you play with hearts and fortune, sometimes the only thing left to lose is yourself. Will Ava's hunger for the good life bring her everything she's ever wanted, or will it destroy her before she reaches the top?
