As the torment continues, the studio grudgingly hires bargain-basement bodyguard Dawson Masters, a man with his own secrets. Which will catch up with them first-Violet's stalker or Dawson's murky past?

Across the Isles (A Little Mermaid Remix) by CayleighKennedy

When Olive Sadie McKinley starts school at Markov Academy, she is immediately swept up into the buzz and fanfare of Aeriana's most prestigious boarding school. Just in her first year, Olive's not only secured a potential record deal, but she's finally making her mother proud by following in her successful sisters' footsteps. All is going well. Until she loses her voice. A year later, Olive must now learn how to communicate and navigate a world that only rewards performers and creators, all while balancing her school work and making her mother happy. Saxophone protege Kassian Williams has no problems with his mother's general unhappiness with his life's decisions. In fact, he relishes in her disappointment. He'd much rather spend his time trying to build his music career before he graduates so he doesn't have to continue in the family business. When a chance encounter has Kassian and Olive crossing paths, Kassian finds he's unable to get the young singer out of his thoughts. As Olive gets closer to Kassian, she not only discovers more about the grumpy upperclassman, but also about her desires for her life outside of what her mother wants. Except, when Olive's voice starts coming back and disappearing again in odd intervals, her life is thrown back into disarray. Because now, Olive's not sure what's causing her voice to disappear...and suddenly the Markov campus is not as safe as she previously thought.

Cold shot by ISimonkaaaI

First book 🏒. Starting college was supposed to be Violet Vale's escape plan. New country. New city. New campus. And then there's Ethan Maddox-tattoos inked like warnings, that infuriating smirk, and a six-foot-five presence that fills every room like he owns it. Her brother's best friend. Her worst enemy. And now? Her accidental shadow at Northbridge University. Violet's spent years trading insults and eye-rolls with Ethan, ever since he became an honorary part of her family. But there's nothing brotherly about the way he looks at her now-or the way her pulse reacts when he calls her Vi like it's some kind of challenge. He's cocky. Infuriating. One year older. And the only person on campus who makes her feel anything at all. They're not friends. Definitely not something more. But the line between hate and something far messier is starting to blur. And when hearts get tangled... Someone's going to fall. Warning: May contain profanity and sexual content.
