Arden Vale built her life on one principle: justice is absolute. Every criminal she's put behind bars has only sharpened her reputation - and her sense of control.
Then comes Kellan Drax. Charming, dangerous, and frustratingly impossible to read, he steps into her world like a storm. He challenges everything she believes about law, loyalty, and herself.
As their paths collide, Arden is forced to question who she can trust - and how far she's willing to go when desire and danger intertwine.
Because in a world built on secrets, the truth is the most dangerous weapon of all.

Editing 𝓛𝓤𝓢𝓣𝓕𝓤𝓛 𝓢𝓘𝓝 | 18+
In a world ruled by blood contracts, quiet betrayals, and sins no one ever confesses aloud, secrets don't stay buried for long. She steps into a war she never meant to join. He carries the weight of violence, loyalty, and wounds he'll never admit to. But when their paths collide, desire becomes a weapon-and trust becomes a luxury neither of them can afford. Nothing in their universe is gentle. Every emotion is a risk. Every touch is a warning. Every promise comes with a price. She wasn't supposed to get close. He wasn't supposed to let her. Yet the pull between them defies reason, defies caution... and defies the fate waiting in the shadows. Fate isn't merciful. It's cruel, calculated, and patient. Someone is destined to break. Someone is destined to bleed. And when loyalty is paid in blood, the only question left is: Who will betray whom first? [© Esme. All rights reserved.

DEMSDALEVILLE
"We're no longer just looking for a conspiracy, Ariana. We're looking for a body." Welcome to Demsdaleville University, a gilded cage for the children of the global elite-a place where royalty, mafia heirs, and corporate titans learn the art of power. Here, the most expensive commodity isn't money. It's security. To this world, she is Ariana Basile, the "unicorn," the school's first-ever scholarship student. A brilliant, quiet girl with no past. But her real name is Alessandra de Luca, and she is a lie walking. Haunted by the violent "accident" that left her twin sister in a coma and shattered her family, she has one singular, all-consuming goal: revenge. Her targets are the powerful Moretti family, and her way in is through their sons-the charming basketball star Antonio and the famous actor Adrien. Her plan is to infiltrate their circle, earn their trust, and dismantle their empire from the inside. But as she's pulled deeper into their world of fractured friendships and dangerous secrets, she finds herself in a fragile, untrusting alliance with Alexander Sterling, the one boy whose brilliant, analytical mind sees through her perfect facade. The closer she gets to her target, the more she discovers that the truth is a monstrous, tangled web of lies, and the people she thought were her enemies might just be pawns in a much deadlier game. In a school where everyone wears a mask, can she find the truth before her own is ripped away?
