Valenhart Academy
This story is currently being edited, it may not flow perfectly in some spots that are currently being edited. Thank you for your patience! Rowan Blake doesn't follow rules-she breaks them for fun. So when a psychosexual placement test ends in handcuffs and a court date, she expects jail, not an acceptance letter to Valenhart Academy, an elite and secretive institution where students learn psychology, power exchange... and the art of submission. Thrown into a world of contracts, collars, and complex dynamics, Rowan is determined to outlast the semester without bending to anyone's will. Especially not Theo Vale-the calm, unshakable upperclassman who steps in to supervise her beginner class. He's everything she resents: controlled, dominant, unreadable. And infuriatingly attractive. But Valenhart doesn't just teach obedience. It teaches truth-about desire, control, and the parts of yourself you'd rather ignore. As Rowan battles the system, her health, and her own rebellious heart, she'll have to decide what's more terrifying: surrendering control... or admitting she might actually want to. This is my first book so please let me know if you find any mistakes! I will try to upload daily if I can! #1-Dominate 5/28/25-5/29/25 #1- Chronicillness 6/4/25-7/9/25 #1- Medical 7/9/25

Notes between us 🎹📝
Backstory: Adrian Vale was born into wealth - the kind that comes with power, respect, and danger. The Vale name carries weight, tied to an empire built on generations of business...and the darker world beneath it. To outsiders, Adrian is everything they envy: charm, fortune, legacy. But behind the tailored suits and expensive watches is a man who wants none of it. Music is his only escape - the piano, the only place he can breathe. In the Vale household, though, passion isn't purpose. His father made that clear: a man's worth comes from numbers, not melodies. When his father dies, Adrian inherits everything he never wanted - the money, the power, the loneliness. Every smile feels fake. Every date, a transaction. So now he tests people, playing the part they expect: the rich bachelor who can buy anyone's affection. Most fall for it. Until Rowan. Rowan Hart grew up in a house that was always one paycheck away from falling apart.Her mother works double shifts, her sister juggles school, and Rowan takes care of her ailing grandfather. Writing was her escape - a way to make sense of the chaos. Then, one night, her words reached someone. One story went viral, and suddenly, Rowan Hart was a name people knew. But success didn't change her heart. She still lives in the same small house, still worries about bills and hospital visits. She's learned that love and honesty mean more than money ever could. When Adrian Vale walks into her life - charming, distant, and too polished to be real and she sees something beneath the surface. Loneliness. The same kind she's written about for years. And maybe, just maybe, the stories she writes aren't just meant to heal her anymore. Maybe what's she's been writing was manifesting him to her.
The Scars of Grandrews Academy
Before the Trio ever set foot in Grandrews Academy, their fathers were the kind of men who changed the world quietly-three brilliant scientists working at VESPER Genomics, a company that promised miracles and delivered secrets instead. They were geniuses. Pioneers. Men who dug too deep. And suddenly, they were gone. One "suicide." One disappearance. One unexplained illness. Three tragedies that never felt like coincidences. Three families ripped apart and shoved into the shadows. Their daughters-Elsa, MJ, and Lilah-were left with pieces that didn't fit. Missing files. Unasked questions. A silence so heavy it felt intentional. Years later, Grandrews Academy comes calling. A perfect school with perfect opportunities. Full scholarships. Guaranteed futures. And an interest in the Trio that makes no sense. Because Grandrews doesn't invite girls like them. It recruits them. The halls are too polished. The staff too watchful. The donors too familiar with their names... and their fathers' work. The closer the Trio look, the more the past claws back- whispers about VESPER, rumors about rituals, hints that their fathers were involved in something far bigger, far darker, and far from over. Grandrews Academy has been waiting for them. Not because of who they are- but because of where they come from. Their fathers tried to protect them. Tried to warn them. Tried to fight something no one should have been fighting alone. Now it's the Trio's turn to face what their fathers left behind. And at Grandrews, the past isn't buried. It breathes.

Boys Don't Cry
Crestwood Academy: where legacies are born, secrets are currency, and scholarship girls like Luna Ferreira don't survive - they endure. Luna's only goal is to keep her head down, ace her classes, and prove she belongs at the elite academy where power drips from every marble pillar. But the moment she collides - literally - with Arien Andersen, everything changes. Arien is cold, untouchable, and ruthless. He rules Crestwood like a king in designer suits, with a last name that makes professors flinch and students obey. He also has a best friend - Luna's brother - which makes him strictly off-limits. Too bad no one told Arien that. She's fire. He's ice. And in a school where loyalty is bought and enemies wear diamonds, one thing is certain: If Luna wants to survive Crestwood... she'll have to stop running from the boy who watches her like a storm about to break. And if Arien wants to keep his throne? He'll have to stop wanting the girl who could burn it all down.Complete
