Celia Sinclair was born into privilege, but behind the glass of her perfect life, she was suffocating. Her father saw her as nothing more than a bargaining chip, her future dictated and her voice silenced. With an arranged marriage closing in, her gilded cage felt smaller than ever.
Desperate, Celia made a reckless deal: she needed a fake boyfriend. Her choice? Ryker Vale-an underground fighter with bruised knuckles, a dangerous glare, and a defiance her world would never accept.
He wasn't safety. He wasn't approval. He was fire-and she threw herself into him just to prove she could still burn. But some obsessions burn too bright, and when desire turns dangerous, both must choose: obey their cages, or set the world on fire

Hurricane Love
☑️Completed☑️ 🥇1st Place in Teen Fiction | The Aspirants Awards🥇 "Ryker sighed and swiped his face frustratedly with the palm of his hand. 'Look, I'm not interested in having this conversation with, you, Amelia,' he said, looking everywhere but at me. 'It's time for you to leave because I have a train to catch.' 'You know what, Ryker?' I said, my voice weak and soft as I tried to stop it from shaking. 'I think I've figured out the real reason they call you The Hurricane; they come into people's lives unannounced and uninvited and destroy every single thing in their path before they decide to leave again, without a clue or care for the devastation they leave behind.' Ignoring the haunted expression on his face as he took in my words, I spun on my heel and walked out the door, hoping to never see the piece of shit ever again." Life hasn't been easy for 16-year old Amelia Woods. Most of her life she spent being passed around the foster care system until finally being adopted by her parents and moving to the quirky little town of Richmond where she met her dream boyfriend Mason Miller. Life couldn't be better for Amelia - then arrives Ryker Jordan; Mason's childhood best friend who disappeared from town years ago and decides to make his return. He is obnoxious and arrogant and the very definition of a rebel; someone that Amelia finds herself hating with a passion and she has no idea how he gets under her skin so easily. As much as Ryker gets on her very last nerve and makes every effort to annoy her, there comes a point when she realises that he is just like her in many ways she did not realise and slowly but surely, Amelia finds herself wanting to know more and more about him. What she does not realise, is just how life-changing her curiosity is going to become and that once she lets herself go there, there's no coming back.Lengkap
Fading Boundaries Again
Olivia Wren grew up in a strict household-the kind with rules for everything: when to go to bed, where she could be, and constant location tracking the second she left the house. Most teenagers would've rebelled. But not Liv. She followed every rule down to the last letter. So when she got to college, it made sense that she'd use her freedom to the fullest. Parties, late nights, no one watching her every move. For a while, it felt like everything she'd missed out on. But after two years, the freedom starts to lose its shine. With nothing solid to fall back on, Liv lets herself go. It takes hitting a low point to realize that the girl she's become isn't who she wants to be anymore. Then there's Jace Rylan Camden. The kind of guy Liv's sworn off. He shows up to class drunk on the first day-not exactly the best first impression. He's an athlete, lives in a frat house, and hangs out with his loud group of friends. Basically, everything Liv's tried to leave behind. But when casual class interactions turn into seeing each other outside of it, Liv starts to question whether she's really moved on-or if Jace might be different from what she thought. Especially when the two stumble into a fake relationship- kind of will be hard to keep away from each other this way huh?Lengkap
The Fifth Wife's Daughter
Nineteen-year-old Sloane Vale has spent her life outrunning shadows-her mother's lies, her own silence, and the incident that shattered their relationship forever. Now, after her mother's fifth marriage, Sloane is dragged into a world she never asked to enter: high society, old money, and a secret circle of power that runs the city from behind masked galas and blood-soaked contracts. She shows up on a motorcycle, all leather, scars, and fake smiles-and immediately disrupts everything. Especially him. Her new stepbrother, West Callahan-cold, perfect, untouchable. And his friends: Jude, who smiles while he breaks things. Beckett, who hides his pain in brutal art. Rhys, who runs the society like a king with a golden noose. They're all older. They're all dangerous. And they're all bound to each other by secrets Sloane isn't supposed to know-or want. But Sloane doesn't follow rules. Not when they belong to the people who tried to bury her once. Not when every kiss tastes like defiance. Not when every lie she unravels brings her closer to the truth... and the boys who would burn the world to keep her. As their obsession turns deadly and their twisted society demands loyalty above love, Sloane has to decide: Will she destroy them from the inside out-or claim them as hers first?Lengkap

He cleared his throat making me shoot my gaze back to him as I hoped my voice didn't come out shaky, "that's my business, just like the reason you fight is yours." His jaw sharpened as he straightened and seemed to contemplate what his next move would be. I took the time to declutter my thoughts and focus on what I needed from him; fighting lessons, the opportunity to save myself one final time. - - - "I love the book overall.
