At Velmont High, status is everything. Students are sorted into three elite factions Lux for the wealthy, Venus for the beautiful, and Sage for the intelligent. It's a system designed to maintain perfection, power, and pride. No one questions it. No one breaks the rules.
Until Elira Navarro arrives.
An outsider from a modest background, Elira earns a scholarship funded by the prestigious Drexler family specifically, by Cassian Drexler, the school's untouchable "Triple Elite." With the wealth of a Lux, the looks of a Venus, and the brains of a Sage, Cassian stands at the top of all three social classes. Everyone adores him. Everyone fears him. And Cassian loves the control.
But Elira doesn't bow. She sees through the glamour, the hierarchy, the fake smiles and through Cassian's cruel charm.
As Elira fights to prove her worth in a world designed to break people like her, she begins to uncover secrets that could shatter Velmont's pristine image. And when Cassian's games turn personal, she must choose: play by his rules or destroy the system that made him king.
In a school where crowns are worn through status, who will rule when the lines between power and pride blur?

Welcome to Billard Academy, where old monarchs are still in power, aristocrats rebrand themselves as old money, and the secrets and intrigue are as thick as the ivy on their ancient walls. Corin Clarendon, descendant of a broken royal line, is the only child and daughter of the Chairman. Clarendon Industries should be hers. But the rules of succession only bow to a male heir. The rule is simple: whichever boy at Billard graduates at the top of the class wins the Clarendon empire, and Corin's hand in marriage. The legacy heirs-Rothwell, Ascor, and Vandercourt-are already circling like sharks, hungry for her inheritance. They want a queen to command. They don't realize Corin isn't interested in being a wife. She's planning to be king. Then there's Lucien Green. To the elite, he's just the scholarship kid from nowhere. But Lucien is a man with a leash around his neck. Sponsored by a shadow with a lethal agenda, he's at Billard to do more than just study. Armed with an eidetic memory that makes the "top boys" look like fools-and a way of looking at Corin that makes her blood run cold and hot all at once. He's the only one who might be more dangerous than the men trying to ruin her. Only one can win. And no one must fall in love. #boardingschool #heirs #succession #rivalstolovers #inheritance games #steamyromance [updates every Wed or Thu]
Adler | The Monarch & The Heirs BOOK 2.
Book Two of The Adler series ** Cassandra Lovett had pictured her summer holiday to be a break from her prep school scene filled with superficial snobs and shred her big wheels to cruise downtown, go on movie night marathons with her best friend and get up to wild, outlandish adventures. What she hadn't pictured was a brutal split between her parents spurred by a scandalous affair, getting shunned by her own so called friends and neighbours to be sent packing out to an estranged uncle further down south. As if having her whole life fall apart wasn't bad enough, she's forced to start her new one enrolled in St. Sinclair Academy; an elite school rumoured to groom the most absurdly rich and intellectual heirs of aristocrats and billionaires across Europe. Cassandra is certain her new school life is going to be the worst but what she doesn't know is that she'd stumbled into the domain of the most infamous clique highly esteemed not on the academy grounds but at the pinnacle of the elite society, The Monarch. They were the last people anyone dared to oppose, rivalled to no other and envied to no end and they ruled St. Sinclair. Most importantly, powerful people like them were meant to be a myth, but what Cassandra would soon learn was that the world she lost was the actual fairytale- this, was the truth. ** This CANNOT be read as a standalone. There will be reappearances of characters from the first book, mentions of previous incidents and yeah, I think you get the gist.Complete

The Unsuitable Contract
Lena Davenport is running out of time. With her scholarship-fueled future and coveted gap year hanging in the balance, the brilliant, meticulously-planned Yale pre-med student has exactly three weeks to dismantle her mother's suffocating social schemes. Her mother's plan? To auction Lena off to the most "suitable" trust-fund husband at the elite Blackwood Gala. Lena's only solution is desperate, reckless, and brilliant: hire a human catastrophe. Enter Ethan Bellweather, the local mechanic. He's oil-stained, perpetually sarcastic, financially compromised, and the ultimate neighborhood "blight"-a man whose family was ruined years ago by Lena's mother. Ethan is the perfect anti-prospect, and he harbors a deep-seated vendetta against the Davenport name. Their pact is simple: The Unsuitable Contract. Ethan will be Lena's wildly inappropriate, all-consuming boyfriend, creating enough scandal to secure Lena's freedom. In exchange, Lena will help Ethan acquire the vintage car at the Gala auction-a final, sweet act of revenge for his family. The Rules are Clear: Duration: Three weeks. PDA: Minimal and chaste. Goal: Secure Lena's freedom and Ethan's revenge. Rule of Absolute Privacy: No talking about real feelings. But as the social pressure escalates and their performance becomes dangerously real-complete with stolen kisses, shared family secrets, and a common bond over the hidden "physics of ambition"-Lena realizes she's falling for the man she hired to destroy her life. When her mother threatens to expose Ethan's most painful family secret, Lena is forced into a final, impossible choice at the Gala: her guaranteed freedom, or the man who taught her what real love-and real engineering-truly looks like.
