A dark academia thriller about power, gender, and the price of belonging - perfect for fans of The Secret History and If We Were Villains.
When her on-campus housing fell through, Ramona thought she was just moving into an off-campus fraternity house. But her new roommates are far from the type to do keg stands. They're rich. They're powerful. They're untouchable. And they're all men.
The longer she stays, the more she realizes this isn't a normal house. The men here have rules no one explains, rooms she's not allowed to enter, and a way of looking at her like she's something to eat.
She doesn't belong in their world. She isn't supposed to see. But the more they try to scare her off, the more she begins to understand: maybe the only way out of their world is through it.

Obsessively - *currently being edited*
Joey Avery appears to have everything. Happiness. Loving parents. A life all mapped out. But it's all a lie. An entire life based on a lie. First of all, she's a her, not a him, though it gets people confused all the time, since her name is typically given to boys. Second of all, she isn't happy, and she clearly doesn't have the perfect life she pretend to have. She's beautiful and fun to be around, but she's also full of secrets, full of dark thoughts, full of nightmares. She's fighting to survive. Xander Wells is a complete act, he's the kind of guy you see on paper, but never meet in real life. Dark, mysterious, the biggest I-don't-give-a-fuck attitude when it comes to girls, he's a fighter. Not because he has to be, because he wants to be. He lives for a little bar fight, for the thrill of being in a boxing ring and hitting the crap out of other dudes. So what happens when two people, trying to be things they aren't, find comfort in each other? Are they going to let their guards down or build even higher walls?Complete
Poisoned Ivy
When Ivy Mercer accepts a position on the legendary Stone Estate, she expects long hours and impossible standards-not lessons in power disguised as service. Under the sharp eye of fashion icon PR Stone, Ivy learns to navigate a world where beauty is currency and silence is survival.

But between PR's rituals, Julian Stone's relentless pursuit, and a forbidden love that feels like freedom, Ivy must decide who she is when every hand around her tries to claim her. In a house built on perfection, saying no might be the most dangerous-and the most honest-word of all.

Peculiar Event - English Version
Hello, Book Lovers For those who have read "Peculiar Contract" and were traumatized, it's a good idea to prepare yourselves and your hearts, because a "Peculiar Event" is about to begin and this time, there might not be any options for an ending. If you haven't read "Peculiar Contract," I recommend you read it before this work, as characters from that story appear here and you might not understand some of their actions and motivations. But it's your call. It will be one less trauma in your life and one less therapy session I'll have to pay for. Synopsis The invitation was simple: a luxurious island, an opulent mansion, games with their own rules-and a prize that could change any life. But nothing is that simple when the body speaks louder than reason, and when desire becomes a sharper weapon than any strategy. There, every touch carries a hidden agenda, every alliance is a game of seduction, and feelings are manipulated with the same coldness with which pieces are moved on a chessboard. Sponsors and protégés watch each other like predators before their prey-but it's not always clear who is in control. Masks fall, truths are twisted, and the lines between pleasure, power, and madness become dangerously thin. In the middle of it all, a question arises that none of them dare to ask aloud: how far would you go to win-and what would be left of you afterward? Important Notice: This book belongs to the Dark Romance genre. This genre explores intense and dark themes, often controversial, which may include emotional triggers such as violence, toxic relationships, abuse, and other sensitive topics. If you are susceptible to these themes, caution is advised before continuing. This work is a piece of fiction; the events depicted are not intended to glorify or validate harmful behavior in real life. Read responsibly and with discretion. 🔞 Explicit content: adult scenes, assault, sexual abuse, and strong language.Complete

Six Yale students. Two bodies. At the Meadows-the sprawling manor where we host our Gatsby nights-rules don't matter. Six of us live here, breathing secrets into champagne glasses, pretending we're untouchable. We thought we could get away with everything. But when blood stains the marble and love becomes the sharpest weapon of all... We learn the house always wins.
