Adrian Cole is the perfect student. Straight A's, a flawless smile, and a reputation every parent wishes their child had. To his classmates, he's untouchable-polite, brilliant, and harmless.
But behind that mask of perfection lies a secret he keeps hidden in a black leather notebook. A secret written in neat, crimson underlines.
When a string of disappearances begins to rattle his quiet town, Adrian balances two lives: the golden boy everyone trusts... and the predator no one suspects.
But one girl-Clara Matthews-sees something in his eyes that no one else does. And Adrian knows that the closer she gets, the more dangerous the game becomes.
Because in his world, names aren't just written down.
They're crossed out.

Forgotten Truths
Skylar Green never believed her first year of university would change everything. Innocent, naive, but stubbornly down to earth, she only wanted to keep her head down, study hard, and avoid distractions. But then she meets Adrian Hart- Her brother's best friend. Adrian is everything Skylar swore she'd never fall for, especially because she already had a man in her life, Enzo. Tattooed, magnetic, and dangerous in ways she can't quite name, he hides arrogance behind a smirk and mystery behind those piercing green eyes. He's the kind of man who takes what he wants-and somehow, what he wants is her. Passion. Possessiveness. A pull she can't explain. Skylar quickly finds herself caught in Adrian's world, a world that feels thrilling and intoxicating... until it all comes crashing down. And then one truth shatters everything... A truth so devastating it sends her running into the storm. A truth she may never forgive. A truth that ends with screeching tires, shattered glass, and darkness. When she wakes, her memory is gone. But the secret remains. Who can she trust when everyone around her has something to hide? What is Adrian keeping buried behind that smoldering gaze? And when the forgotten truths finally come to light... will they ruin her, or set her free?
Arcadia
"Do you ever stop running?" he muttered, his gaze burning into mine. "What are you doing?" I whispered, my voice trembling. But anger surged through me, cutting through the daze. "You can't just-just act like this! One second you're cold, the next you're almost kind, then you let people kiss you, and now-" My throat wobbled "Now this? I can't keep up. I can't" His expression cracked and his eyes darkened, not with anger, but with something raw that felt dangerously close to breaking me in half. "You want to know how I feel about you?" His voice was low and rough. Before I could answer, he tilted my chin up again, his thumb brushing the corner of my mouth like he was staking a claim. And then he kissed me. Not the furious, messy clash of before. This one was slower and deeper, but it shattered me even more. His lips were unrelenting, pressing against mine like he'd been holding himself back for far too long. My mind went blank, every thought scattering like ashes in the wind. My fingers swayed helplessly at my sides then curled into his shirt again, because I didn't know where to put them. When he finally pulled back, his eyes searched mine like he was daring me to deny what just happened. "Does that answer your question?" he murmured. - Adriana plays the part of the perfect, wealthy heiress, but she's drowning under her mother's Ivy League expectations and a family scandal that could ruin her.

When an encounter pulls her into the IT circle, the academy's four most powerful boys, Adriana's carefully built walls crumble. And to her horror, they're suddenly interested in her. One watches her with a dangerous tension, another grows far too gentle around her and someone from her past suddenly wants back into her life. Adriana must navigate the school's dark secrets, her family weight and her own growing attraction to the boys she never meant to let in

Obsession Unveiled
Damien, an average and unassuming student, walked the halls of his school like a ghost-present, but invisible. He wasn't the top of the class, nor the bottom. He didn't draw attention, and he liked it that way. Blending in gave him space. Space to watch. Space to observe. Because while the world barely noticed Damien, he noticed her. Annette. She was the only ripple in the still water of his quiet life. There was something about her-something undeniable. She was elegance wrapped in confidence, untouchable but painfully real. And to Damien, she was more than a girl. She was an obsession. A purpose. Around others, Damien maintained the perfect illusion. Calm. Collected. Just another face in the crowd. But when it came to Annette, that illusion cracked. His quiet demeanor masked something darker-something sharp. Possessive. Dominant. It wasn't just that he liked her. It wasn't even that he wanted her. He needed her. As if the universe had carved her from the very core of what he lacked. He watched her like a predator stalks prey-not out of malice, but with a deep, feral instinct to claim. He noticed everything. The rhythm of her footsteps. The tilt of her head when she was lost in thought. Every person she talked to, smiled at, laughed with. And deep inside, something twisted every time she gave her attention to anyone who wasn't him. No one suspected. How could they? Damien was forgettable by design. But behind that forgettable smile was a mind carefully weaving a future where Annette belonged to him-wholly, unquestioningly. In his thoughts, there was no version of her life that didn't revolve around him. Every passing day without her acknowledgment was a glitch in the reality he was building. He didn't just want to be close to her. He wanted to own her heart. Her mind. Her choices. Not in a way she would resist-but in a way she'd learn to love. He'd make sure of it. After all, love was just another form of control when done right.Complete
