Carmine Hartford is the picture of perfection at Havenwood College - wealthy parents, striking beauty, top grades, and a shooting guard position on the school's basketball team.

When a devastating injury shatters her basketball dreams during a crucial game, Carmine's self-esteem crumbles, and she isolates herself from everyone and everything she once loved.
Enter Aiden Ford: enigmatic, a "black cat" with a reputation for being cold, yet secretly gold-hearted, and also head of the school papers. When the principal tasks him with taking Carmine into the school papers editing work, Aiden hesitates - partly because he's drawn to her in ways he can't explain. But duty wins out, and he agrees.
What begins as an uneasy collaboration slowly becomes something neither expected. Can Carmine and Aiden break through their walls to find connection and maybe even love? Or will their story be just another forgotten note in the margins?
Dive into this young adult romance and experience the journey of two unlikely hearts learning to trust - and maybe heal - together.

"You think I didn't see him touch you?" he grits out, voice barely controlled. I snap. "What if you did? I can do what I want. I'm not your fucking property, Aiden." "You think?" He smirks, his hand holding both of mine against the wall while the other one cups my panties. I gasp. "You're mine, Lana. It's better if you don't forget that. For your own sake." he runs his fingers down my clit and I cry out as he feels my wetness. "Mhm, my girl." ****** At Velgrave Royal Academy, power is everything. The buildings are a mix of wealth, legacy, and secrets, especially the ones whispered behind closed doors. Lana Petrov has survived it all. The lies, the pressure, the perfect fake smiles. She's beautiful, confident, rich, and untouchable, or so everyone thinks. Then there's Aiden Reeve. Aiden isn't the usual package. He doesn't flirt. He doesn't pretend. He claims. He's unapologetic, unashamed, and too blunt. For years, he's been obsessed with her, she's his golden girl, his greatest weakness. And everyone at Velgrave knows it. He makes sure of that. She hates him. He doesn't care. She ignores him. He never stops watching. She swears she'll never fall for him. He swears she already has. When obsession turns dangerous and the line between love and hate starts to blur, Lana has to decide what's more terrifying; Aiden's darkness, or her own heart's response to it. Because at Velgrave, nothing is innocent. And love isn't love when it's scarlet.
Business And Hopelessness
"Your hair is full of snow," He chuckled as he looked at her, reaching out to push a strand of hair behind her ear. Some snow successfully fell off her, but he didn't withdraw his hand. He cupped her cheek, wiping away a few snowflakes from it. She was frozen, staring at him like a deer caught in headlights, her heart pounding in her chest. Then, raising his other hand, he cupped her cheeks fully. His eyes began to trace every inch of her face; her eyes, her cheeks, her nose, before his gaze dropped to her lips. Her heart skipped a beat as she tried to keep herself together. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Seventeen-year-old Valentina Barron doesn't have the most ideal home life.
