At Shiz University, Elphaba Thropp has perfected the art of avoidance. Between her fierce intellect, sharp wit, and an uncanny ability to hide behind strategically placed potted plants, she's managed to keep most of her peers at bay. Most, that is, except for Fiyero Tiggular-the campus golden boy with a knack for showing up exactly where he's not wanted.
Fiyero lives for the chase, and Elphaba? She's the perfect puzzle. Her cutting remarks and fiery disdain only make her more intriguing, and he's determined to crack her icy exterior-even if it means dodging the occasional hex.
But when a prank war spirals wildly out of control, and a fateful incident forces them to work together, Elphaba and Fiyero find themselves toeing the precarious line between animosity and... something else entirely.
With witty banter, ridiculous misunderstandings, and just the right amount of chaos, Lessons in Loathing is a spellbinding enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy that will have you laughing, swooning, and rooting for the most unlikely of pairings.
"The Hacker and the Mob Boss" ❦
Reyna Fields seems to be an ordinary girl with her thick-framed glasses, baggy clothes, hair always up in a ponytail, and her head tucked away behind a computer screen. However, no one knows she's armed with a genius IQ and a heart of gold. She hacks her way into virtual systems on a search for her mother.
Unfortunately for her, she has hacked into the wrong database. She hacked into the database of the notorious mob boss, Santino "Saint" Venturi.
Saint is the opposite of his name. He's known for his ruthlessness. As a mob boss to a mafia, he learned to eat or be eaten. When Reyna stumbles upon his database, a plan dispersed into his mind. He's going to take her.

"I don't share, angel."
"He's a friend," she found herself saying. Dante was too busy staring at her to notice the fiery glare in Saint's eyes. She was mentally praying that Dante would just look away.
His fingers trailed up her leg before his hand latched onto her sex. He held her there while a small gasp left her lips. "I will fuck you on this table if he doesn't stop looking at what belongs to me."
