Silent Crowns
Crestwood Academy is where the wealthy sharpen their smiles and play by rules no one ever admits to. Classes aren't just classes-they're tests of survival. A debate isn't about winning; it's about proving who's untouchable. And the wrong answer? That can follow you forever... --- Leila Grey knows all this. She's seen what happens to people who try to climb too high. Her plan is simple: Stay out of the spotlight. Pass the exams. Survive the dining hall coffee and keep her name out of the gossip. But Crestwood has a way of dragging you in. Between Olivia's aggressively color-coded planner, clubs she never wanted to join, and the Legacies who rule the school with perfect hair and sharper words, Leila is already struggling to keep her head down. Then one rumor turns into something much bigger. Secrets surface. Power shifts. And suddenly, the people who were untouchable aren't so invincible after all. Leila may keep her head down, but if you ever make her bow, you'd better give it your all. Because once true power lifts its chin, nothing-and no one-will be left alone standing. And Jack? No one knows what to make of him. Enemy, ally - or something far more dangerous. In a place where loyalty is just another currency, figuring out his place in Leila's life might cost you everything. When the masks fall and the games turn deadly, only one question remains. Do you even have the guts... to see how it ends? 
Heartstorms series ; Book 1: Hiding Your Heart
He wants her, no matter how tightly she's locked her heart away. Leopold Sword doesn't need much in life-he's got wealth, power, a soccer captain's jersey, and the title of Brave Lions Academy's king pinned to his chest. He rules the halls with ease, balancing being the elite golden boy with a quiet discipline that keeps his crown firmly in place. But when a stray soccer shoe almost takes out a blonde scholarship student, Leo's world tilts. Ava Carper isn't like the other girls clawing for his attention. She's got walls made of fucking steel, eyes sharp enough to cut him, and a walk that screams, Don't even try. Challenge accepted. Ava Carper was built for survival, not romance. She's got enough to deal with-kicking ass in med school, keeping her overprotective twin brother Alex off her back, and nursing a heart freshly shattered by the boy who was supposed to be her forever. Spoiler: He wasn't. Now, Ava doesn't have time for distractions, and especially not for someone like Leopold Sword-irritatingly handsome, shamelessly arrogant, and way too dangerous for her already bruised soul. But Leo's not the type to give up. Not on the pitch, not in life, and especially not on her. She can shove him away, snap at him, even try to block him out entirely, but it's too late. She's his-whether she likes it or not. Leo will do whatever it takes to win Ava's trust, even if it means selling his soul to the devil. And if she's got demons in her heart? Well, he's ready to fucking exorcise them. "I'm not looking for a hero." "Good. I'm not here to save you. I'm here to ruin you-in the best fucking way possible."
Inferno of Sin
Introduction In the shadows of power and privilege, desire becomes a dangerous game. Alessandra Vittori had built her life on control-of her image, her career, and her emotions. As Italy's most sought-after publicist, she was untouchable, crafting legends and salvaging reputations with a single stroke of her brilliance. But when she steps into the orbit of Vincenzo DeLuca, the enigmatic heir to a ruthless mafia dynasty, her carefully curated world begins to unravel. Vincenzo is no ordinary man. Cold, calculating, and untouchable, he is a predator in a tailored suit, with the power to shape the world-and destroy anyone who defies him. Drawn to Alessandra's fire and resistance, he sees in her a challenge, an opportunity to bend the unbendable. For Alessandra, he represents everything she swore to avoid: chaos, danger, and an unrelenting pull she can't escape. Their worlds collide in a dark dance of seduction, where every touch blurs the lines between obsession and surrender, between love and control. In the twisted corridors of power, they must navigate the thin line between betrayal and trust, even as the stakes grow higher-and deadlier. In the end, who will dominate, and who will be consumed by the shadows?
