The Sanctuary Series #1
Student Council President, Ariella Grace Santiago, has her life planned down to the smallest detail. Her life revolves around perfect grades, perfect leadership, perfect control. Meanwhile, Liam Blake Santos is everything she's not. He's reckless, stubborn, and allergic to authority... especially hers.
But one unexpected week in detention throws them into each other's orbit, and suddenly Ariella is seeing truths she's never allowed herself to feel, especially the warmth behind Liam's mischief, softness beneath his chaos, and a version of herself that doesn't always have to be perfect.
She's supposed to avoid him. So why does being with him feel like the safest thing she's ever known?

But when Clyde De Castro transfers to her school, all her carefully planned days start unraveling. He's quiet, brooding, and somehow manages to get under her skin with every word, every glance, and every unexpected encounter. From the very first meeting, it's a clash of wills.

In a world where pride, ambition, and first impressions collide, will Mikaela and Clyde ever stop fighting?
