Time isn't supposed to bend. People aren't supposed to disappear. And schools certainly aren't supposed to hide secrets that could change everything.
Sophie thought she understood the world-until she woke up to a reality that didn't make sense. An elite school, shadowed pasts, whispered alliances, and a web of mysteries pull her in deeper than she ever expected. Every friendship, every choice, every glance hides something more.
In a place where nothing is quite what it seems, Sophie must navigate carefully-or risk losing everything she thought she knew. Running Out of Time is a story of secrets, danger, and the hidden threads that connect the past, the present, and the unknown.

A Striking Blow | Anthony Bridgerton
"...He resisted the urge to laugh bitterly. As if there was anything left to fix. The damage was done. His name had been dragged through society's cruel, whispering halls, and Elizabeth Kensington had delivered the final blow with a smile on her lips. He hated her..." "...And the worst part? He knew-knew-that the next time he saw her, she'd be smirking, triumphant, utterly insufferable. And he would hate her all over again." ~*~*~* In the dazzling world of modern aristocracy, where wealth and legacy reign supreme, Elizabeth Kensington and Anthony Bridgerton have nothing in common-except for the ironclad contract binding them in marriage.

As passion and power collide, Anthony and Elizabeth will be forced to choose-fight against each other or stand together before the truth destroys them both. Enemies by circumstance. Lovers by fate.

At Windsor Prep, the halls are dripping with old money, new scandals, and secrets sharp enough to cut a crown in two.

Henry Tudor is rich, reckless, and used to getting exactly what he desires, but the game changes when Anne enters the picture. And hovering in the background? The shadow of Arthur, the golden boy who drowned last year-or so everyone believes. When the Cromwells throw their infamous back-to-school yacht party, alliances will form, hearts will break, and reputations will sink. But Windsor Prep has never been about schoolwork-it's about power. And here, history doesn't just repeat itself. It's rewritten. Schemes. Secrets. Scandals. At Windsor Prep, everyone plays the game. Not everyone survives it.
