Lucky Charm | Riara

"Looks like I found my lucky charm", he said, "Kiara Carrera, the half-kook wonder."

It all begins at the Kook Academy, Kiara's reluctant entrance into the world she's spent her life rejecting. She's sharp-tongued, fiercely independent and doesn't play by the rules of the Kook elite. But nothing destabilizes her more than Rafe Cameron.

He's chaos in human form. Dangerous, damaged, magnetic and completely off-limits.

Because he's not just any Kook. He's her best friend's older brother.

The same boy who once barely acknowledged her existence is now the man who watches her too closely. Whispers venom in her ear one moment and saves her the next. Their connection is anything but romantic, it's volatile. A slow descent into obsession, secrecy, and blurred lines neither of them can escape from.

As years pass, lies stack, blood is spilled, and their worlds continue to unravel. What they share isn't safe. It's not soft. Some might say it's not even love. But it's the one thing they keep coming back to, again and again.
