Seventeen-year-old Yara Scott is the hidden daughter of a powerful family, living a life cloaked in secrecy. To the world, she's Lucy Woods, a quiet, unremarkable girl with a mysterious past, raised by her "grandmother" in a modest town. But as Yara starts her senior year in a new high school, she finds herself caught between the thrill of anonymity and the weight of her true identity.

Her family's wealth and influence, though invisible in her daily life, are always just beneath the surface. Yara soon discovers that hiding her lineage may be easier than protecting her heart - especially when she meets Nevan Lamar, the school's charismatic star with secrets of his own.

As their worlds collide, Yara must navigate her complex dual life, balancing friendship, family loyalty, and a love she never expected. But can she keep her identity hidden forever, or will the truth unravel everything? Dive into a story of forbidden love, intrigue, and the search for self amid the shadows of family legacy.

What happens when their two complicated worlds are joined together? Let's find out...

A magic-addicted spy trapped in the queen's service must track a princess-turned-assassin in order to earn her freedom, but things get complicated when she falls for the princess she's supposed to capture. ***** Weak. Cursed. That's how seventeen-year-old Kayden Branimir, the realm's deadliest assassin, views herself. Some believe she could save the world with her rare healing magic, but she gave up on her powers long ago after failing to save her best friend. Her life changes when she receives a letter from her supposedly dead twin brother, Alaric, begging to be rescued from rival territory Leodia. For the first time since her friend's accident, Kayden is determined to be the hero, but she must learn to embrace her magic--and herself--along the way. Strange. Unnatural. Those are the words whispered about eighteen-year-old Zara Tait, a Leodian spy addicted to soul-stealing magic. Forced into the queen's service, Zara wants to escape and return home, but she has nothing to offer the queen in exchange for her freedom. When Kayden arrives in Leodia, Zara sees the quiet girl with unique magic as the bargaining chip she needs. But the more she learns of Kayden, the more her feelings grow. Now, Zara must choose between her freedom and the dangerous assassin she hadn't meant to fall for.

There once was a family that was whole. And by whole I mean happy; parents who worshipped their kids and gave them the best they could in everything, twin fraternal sisters bonded by blood and a shared womb, an older brother to protect both of them and all were a tight-knit family. Until something unfortunately happened that set off a chain of events that little by little led up to this story unfolding. 
At the beginning of childhood one of the fraternal sisters veers off the path that the other sister took and began a very dark and dangerous life; running the streets, sometimes never coming home for days on end, and had rageful fits that would gradually get worse and changed into substance abuse and running away completely at seventeen. 
Odeliana Marie Fitzpatrick after having enough of her parents wanting to reform her to their 'perfect little child with a golden future'routine ran away at seventeen. But what their parents didn't know was that just six months later after they both turned eighteen Carley bought her sister her own caravan to keep her safe.
 At twenty Odeliana became a successful freelancer and even learned Mix Martial Arts along her travels. 
Seven years later and Odeliana decides to come back home, to Carleys house just blocks away from her parents to catch up with her sister. Both sisters feel as is no time has been spent being away, only there is a big difference between this time and the last. Carley has a husband. An undeniably sexy husband who ends up getting entangled in the most explosive drama on the height of his career. And Odeliana? Is swept up by it all and jumps headfirst into the spicy and full of life affair that dangles just within her grasp. Inbetween it all, there is a hidden and dark secret that hangs over the Fitzpatrick family, a very harrowing and goosebump worthy secret that has kept this family bonded in the worst of ways.
