Sophie Marsh is a 17 year old girl living in London. She got accepted into The Royal Ballet School. Only she got a scholarship which means that she has to work 10x harder than everyone else. And she does. She makes use of every single second of her day with either practicing, working or studying. She will not fail. Enter Clementine Dumont and her son, Edward Dumont. Clementine presents an opportunity with her 18 year old son (the best male ballet dancer of their generation) for the students at the school. A duet performed before the Royal Albert Hall's production of Swan Lake. When Sophie gets picked, will she pull it off with the annoyingly handsome but painfully arrogant Edward, or will she crack under the pressure?

17-almost-18-year-old Ezra Thompson is tired of two things. First, is constant chatter about Dilemma, an all-boy rock band, led by the supposedly-dreamy frontman Andre Robinson that somehow has a universal grip on every teenager in the world. Personally, Ezra doesn't see the appeal. Second, being in the shadow of her more smart, successful, and popular twin brother Emmet. Ezra couldn't ask for a better life. The thing is, Ezra, can sing. Like really sing. Only her parents who are occasionally proud of her, treat it as a juvenile hobby and she could never sing in front of people. So for now, her shampoo bottles get front-row access to her once-a-night concert in the shower. But when Ezra's younger sister, Maria, signs her up for a singing reality show called Finding Solstice, she is both angry and grateful. To her surprise, she passes the audition and is invited to Los Angeles for the show. Suddenly immersed in the cutthroat music industry, Ezra faces a whirlwind competition against fame-hungry singers, all fighting tooth and nail for the same prize. Amidst the manufactured forces of the industry, she must stand her ground and protect her passion for music. As if that wasn't enough, Ezra finds herself suddenly encountering a pretentious rockstar and is unexpectedly drawn to him. As the competition heats up, Ezra finds herself at the center of a brewing scandal that could end her career before it even starts. The pressure is on, and Ezra is torn between her passion for music and the fear of being dragged down. The stakes are high, and people are unforgiving, but Ezra knows that her music is worth fighting for. With her future on the line, she must navigate the twists and turns of the music industry and stay focused on what really matters: her music and her dreams.

Asya is the most promising ballerina the Royal Ballet has seen in years. Wildly ambitious, back-breakingly disciplined, and immensely driven, she has only one objective: prima ballerina. There is nothing she won't do to earn this once-in-a-generation title. But behind her ballerina grace she hides dark secrets of an inhumanly strict mother, pushing her body to cruel limits, and serial hookups with male dancers. Roman Zharnov is the star of the Russian ballet: young, successful, arrogant, beautiful, and worst of all, talented. He's come to London to clean up his reputation after a drug scandal nearly cost him his career. At the Royal Opera House he crosses paths with Asya, a nineteen-year-old soloist with spitfire in her eyes and a talent to match his own. Roman is convinced he's found the one ballerina that can keep up with him and his relentless work ethic, but Asya has a partner, and she wants to stay far away from the Russian prodigy with a reputation that won't seem to leave him alone. In the competitive world of classical ballet Asya is climbing the ranks and building a name for herself, but all the while she is playing a dangerous game behind the curtain. Roman is adamant they'd be a reverential on-stage match, but will soon find out that when it comes to Asya Radzevich, it's prima or nothing. • 𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑𝐘 𝐂𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐑 by the amazing @mahgadahling • 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐑 Creature's plot is not intended for a young audience.

Twenty years after Luna Junie and Alpha Caspian Storm take over the throne of the werewolf realm, their children are now the twin Alpha Kings. Sebastian and Alexander Storm always knew they would share the throne and, not only that, a Luna Queen, one day but the two brothers couldn't have been more different. Brutally honest and disconnected with emotions, Sebastian "Ian" was the owner of the Wolf's Den, a bar started in the werewolf realm by his mother and Aunt Viv. Alexander "Alex", on the other hand, was outgoing, kind, and scholarly. With a BA in English, he opened an antique bookstore inside the realm to pursue his love of rare and class novels. Stella "Ella" Dubois-Summers is the daughter of French-American Annette and realm warrior Ronald. She's loud, stubborn, and definitely not afraid to speak her mind, in both French and English. She bullheaded her way through highschool and, upon graduation, was desperate to flee the realm and earn a degree in English to pursue her passion for reading. That's when everything changed. The night of the royal Mating Ball, shortly after Ella and her friends graduated high school, was one of magic and hope. Not once did Ella ever imagine that she would be mated to two of the most arrogant wolves in her school, bullies she called them, not to mention they were also the kings. How will the prideful Ian and the passionate Alex handle such an independent, wild mate who is hellbent on leaving the realm at the end of the summer? It might be time for the twin Alphas to learn some French. Book #10 of the Royal Legacy series (can be read as a stand alone).
