At Ravenshore University, prestige is everything-on the surface. Beneath its ivy-clad walls and candlelit corridors, secrets fester, and the elite secret society Noctis rules from the shadows. When a student is found dead under mysterious circumstances, whispers spread like wildfire, only to be swiftly silenced.
Evelyn Devonshire wasn't supposed to know. She wasn't supposed to dig deeper. But when she uncovers a clue that links the murder to Noctis, she refuses to let it go. Determined to expose the truth, she forces her way into the society's dangerous inner circle, where power, deception, and blood-soaked traditions reign.
Then there's Adrian Wyatt-enigmatic, untouchable, and harbouring secrets darker than the corridors they roam. He sees Evelyn as a threat. She sees him as a puzzle. Their game of cat and mouse is intoxicating, but the closer she gets, the more she realises: in Noctis, trust is a myth, and love is a weakness that could get her killed.
As the body count rises and the whispers grow louder, Evelyn must decide-will she bring Noctis to its knees, or will she become its next sacrifice?

Whispers of Ravenwell
Seventeen-year-old Evelyn Moore transfers to Ravenwell Academy to investigate her brother's mysterious disappearance, refusing the official verdict that labeled it suicide. At an elite school where linen-white façades conceal darker rituals, she encounters Luca Blackwood - distant, enigmatic, and tangled with her brother's last days. As Evelyn digs through hidden journals, coded messages, and forbidden corridors, she uncovers a clandestine society that bends alumni, faculty, and power to its will. Each clue tightens the noose: allies betray, loyalties fracture, and the cost of truth becomes terrifyingly literal. Romance simmers slowly between Evelyn and Luca, their fragile trust forged through confessions, sacrifices, and shared danger. In the end, justice arrives imperfectly; secrets are exposed, consequences are paid, and two scarred survivors choose to face the future together, changed but resolute. The novel explores grief, moral ambiguity, and the price of power, asking whether truth can ever truly set you free.

"Her and half this town." he says. "Doesn't that worry you?" I ask causing his face to soften. "You know what?" he says, "When I see you, none of them matters. Nothing matters." his breath feels like a soft tickle on my neck while his words hit me like a nine-ton sack of bricks. * Find out in The Water Girl's Secrets [Completed] - currently editingComplete
VIXEN| ✔️
Adrian x Belvina book. Adrian Parker has always been the rock-steady, reliable, the friend who would drop everything to help others, even when his own world was crumbling. Beneath the smiles and jokes, however, lies a man haunted by the weight of past betrayals. The impostors, the cheaters, the liars-Adrian has seen it all, and each heartbreak has left a scar deep enough to make him believe that love was nothing more than a fleeting illusion. Now, he wears a mask, and behind it, he's built walls so thick no one can penetrate. No room for love. No space for pain. Or so he thought. Then came Belvina Gallardo. Belvina has lived by one rule: trust no one. After being burned by betrayal, she swore off letting anyone get close enough to hurt her again. Her heart? Locked up tight, guarded by walls only her closest friends and family have managed to breach. But Adrian Parker is different. He's persistent. Relentless. And, somehow, she feels something stirring inside her-a dangerous temptation to let him in. Both Adrian and Belvina have been broken, their trust shattered by the ones they loved. In a world where casual hookups and burying yourself in work is easier than risking another heartache, neither of them expects anything to change. They've both sworn off love for good. But sometimes, the heart doesn't listen to reason. And the one person you swear you'll never let in may just be the one who can heal you. When trust is shattered, can two broken souls learn to love again? Or will they simply break each other in the process?Complete

Penelope Aurelian thought college life would be predictable-late-night study sessions, awkward presentations, and maybe the occasional crush. She never imagined her world would collide with someone like Ash Valemont. Mysterious, elegant, and a little too perfect to be real, Ash is hiding a secret far darker than she can imagine-he's a vampire. One who's spent years blending into the human world, surviving on animal blood and the occasional human meal, thanks to his bodyguard-assigned by his powerful vampire parents to keep him under control. Unlike others of his kind, Ash doesn't kill. He adapts. He blends in. But when Penelope steps into his life, something inside him begins to crack. She awakens a hunger he thought he buried long ago-a thirst not just for blood, but for her. And when that craving grows stronger, only her kiss... her touch... can calm the storm threatening to consume him. As dangerous enemies from Ash's past begin to target her, Penelope is thrust into a world of secrets, obsession, and ancient power. And soon, she'll have to decide: Can she survive loving a vampire whose darkness is just waiting to be unleashed? Disclaimer: This story is AI-generated with my own original ideas and creative input.
