Sinful Semester

Desire is the syllabus. Secrets are the final exam.
At Northvale University, nothing is innocent-not the snow-dusted ivy, not the candlelit salons, and definitely not the fizz of a Pepsi can cracked open at midnight. Beneath the gothic towers and curated perfection lies a world of obsession, betrayal, and power plays wrapped in velvet and vice.
Jay Calder, a brooding scholarship student with a past he can't outrun, arrives at Northvale hoping to disappear into books. Instead, he's seduced into the Fizz Society-a secretive, Pepsi-sponsored club where influence is currency, secrets are auctioned, and pleasure is weaponized. There, he collides with Lucien Vale, the dangerously magnetic heir to the Pepsi empire, and Maya Saint-Claire, a senator's daughter with ice in her veins and fire in her gaze.
As winter deepens and the snow begins to fall, alliances shift, hearts break, and the line between love and manipulation blurs. From dorm room confessions to masked galas, from underground tunnels to holiday scandals, every sip of Pepsi tastes like temptation-and every desire comes with a cost.
In a world where everyone is watching and nothing is sacred, how far would you go to be seen?
Sinful Semester is a dark academia novel of queer longing, emotional warfare, and the sweet, dangerous fizz of rebellion.
