But she didn't expect to clash with the school's most feared student - Aiden Voss. Rich, arrogant, and hiding secrets behind those cold gray eyes, Aiden is a storm Cassia wants nothing to do with.
But fate has a twisted sense of humor.
Paired together for the school's infamous "Truth and Dare" project - designed to make students confront their deepest fears - Cassia and Aiden begin unraveling layers they never meant to show. With every secret revealed, a dangerous connection grows.
But when Cassia finds a letter hidden in her dorm room - one that hints at a scandal involving her late brother and Aiden's powerful family - she must choose:
Fall for the boy who might have destroyed her family...
...or uncover the truth, even if it breaks both of them.

We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2)
Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

Seventeen-year-old Elena Carter thought she knew everything about her life-until a hidden letter reveals a father she never knew existed. A man her mother kept secret for a reason. Torn between curiosity and loyalty, she chooses to ignore it... until fate intervenes. Whispers of the Past follows Elena Carter, a kind-hearted girl from the small town of Rosewood, who's always ready to help others. But something feels different about today. As she goes about her day, she begins to feel an odd sense of déjà vu, as if the past is trying to reach her. Memories of her late father start to resurface-memories she had buried long ago. Her father, a man of mystery and hidden ties, left behind more questions than answers when he passed away, and Elena has spent years trying to move on. However, everything changes when Lucas William, a new classmate with a dark secret, enters her life. Though he's known for his cold and distant nature, Elena feels an inexplicable connection to him. Unbeknownst to her, Lucas is linked to her father's past in ways she could never have imagined, and his arrival brings long-buried secrets rushing to the surface. As Elena begins to uncover more about her father's connections to Lucas and the world of the mafia, she's faced with difficult choices. Should she push forward to uncover the truth, even if it means putting herself in danger? With the support of her best friends Mia and Jake, Elena must come to terms with the past, the secrets surrounding her father, and the deepening bond between her and Lucas-while learning that some truths are harder to face than others.Complete
