At Westmoor College, everyone has secrets.
But none are as dangerous as hers.
By day, she's Isadora King-a sharp-tongued figure skater with a fake scholarship, a haunting past, and a name borrowed for survival.
By night, she becomes Sinclair-the masked fourth member of Ashbourne's most elite and dangerous group, where power is currency, and anonymity is everything.
No one knows the truth behind the mask.
No one, except her closest friends.
Because Isadora King doesn't exist.
She's Isadora Sinclair, the hidden heiress of one of Ashbourne's Four Grand Families-a name wrapped in legacy, tragedy, and blood. Years ago, her parents died in a crash that was no accident. They were targeted.
And the killers? Still out there.
She and her brother were supposed to die too.
They didn't.
Now she's at Westmoor College, the same school her parents once attended-not just to survive, but to uncover the truth about who they were and the life she was meant to inherit.
The world took them from her far too soon.
And now, she's ready for revenge.
The mask keeps her safe.
Her silence keeps them guessing.
But Xander Thorne-sharp-eyed, calculating, and far too observant-is beginning to suspect that Isadora King is hiding something...
Or everything.
And in a world like Ashbourne, where secrets are more valuable than loyalty,
Someone's about to find out what happens when you try to kill a Sinclair-and fail.

BREAKING THE ICE
A brother and a sister. One is the captain of the hockey team in a small town while the other aspires to be the best figure skater out there. But what happens when they cross paths after a year of being apart, and everything has changed. One doesn't want to be seen by the other, rather wanting to leave the small town for bigger opportunities and the other has lost their aspirations to be the best figure skater, rather wanting to be on the ice hockey team. Everyone thought that nothing could come between the two of them, but maybe there is more to their story. Maybe they both have secrets they have been hiding for so long that they don't even know the truth. But what happens if it isn't all about how they have changed and grown apart and that someone else was involved? No one knows the truth, but maybe by adding the bad boy's, The Armani's, to the table will bring someone down, or someone else up. Just bring the grandchildren of a designer together and see what happens. See who breaks first. See who messes with the Lauren's first. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "I don't know who you are anymore" "I trusted you.

April Showers
"Describe April. What is she like?" "Describing her is like trying to understand the your purpose in life, you know. I never could really tell anyone how she was because I couldn't technically believe she was real. April James is anything most have never seen." The therapist turned his attention to the next man dressed in khaki pants and a button down plaid shirt, nodding for him to begin. "Well, April is definitely a piece of work- I mean she's beautiful and that goes without saying. The first thing that caught my eye about her was her laugh. Anyone who is around her becomes almost bewitched by her and it's beyond their control. To describe her in a word, I'd choose, captivating." Her brother eyes everyone, keeping the same defensive stance he has had the entire session. Without waiting to be directed, he speaks as his voice floods the room. "Princess is my baby sister and I'm only going to say this once watch how you talk about her. That's family and nothing comes between that. Nothing!" His stare silences, even the thoughts of anyone in the room. The rest of the people seated in an array of their finery begin to fidget in their chairs, becoming increasingly uncomfortable. And in the far corner, April sits, never uttering a word, possibly unaware of nothing going on around her. The sky darkens, filling with gray rolling clouds as the April showers begin the season.
