Talia Lance was anything but your average teenage girl
While most girls tend to aim to get a boyfriend by the end of the year she aims to get top grades
After one whole night that goes horribly wrong and results in a 3 year torture hole
NO ONE can save her
The dark days of her haunting past defines who she is now
The blackness which she had been engulfed in...
The people she had dealt with..
The sins she had commited..
She has now let the darkness embrace her rather then let it hold her back
Until notorious playboy who's actually softie at heart, begins to pull back her facade
Piece by piece..
Layer by layer ..
To uncover who Talia Lance really is
She's afraid to let him into her dystopian world, afraid that it will destroy him too
But can she hold back her secrets any longer?
Ps:this is not a cliche where the girl falls for the boy and they end up living in a castle 2 years later, this is a story based on friendship,thriller and some mystery to keep the suspense going and not forgetting humour which is probably the main focus of the book anyways ... if ladies and gentlemen you were looking for a romantic,soppy book which you're going to cry over while excessively stuffing your mouth with chocolate ,this is not the book you were looking for but keep the tissues, you're still probably going to need them...

The Villainess Won't Play
Selena Ashford's life was nothing but a monotonous shell-until one fateful morning, she wakes up as Seraphina Ashenveil, the villainess of the very fantasy romance she despises: Whispers of Hearts. Known for its twisted plots and the inevitable death of its villainess, Selena's new life is a nightmare. Ugh.. Why this stupid book!? As Seraphina, she is surrounded by two figures who mark her doom: her ruthless father, Aldric Ashenveil, and the male lead, Caius Valerian, whose cold indifference promises only betrayal. But fate throws her an unexpected twist-she crosses paths with Killian Valmond, the second male lead, a fiercely loyal and annoyingly arrogant knight who dies in a most pathetic yet stupid way for the female lead. Tsk, Cliché. But he is not leaving her side. He sticks with her like she's something which either needs to be guarded or protected. She can't tell which. Stupid Man. Seeking refuge, Seraphina hides in a small village, where the kind-hearted locals accept her without asking questions. Despite her growing frustrations with Killian's persistent presence, she begins to question everything she thought she knew about her new reality. Something is off-no one seems to be playing by the rules of the story, and the characters seem eerily alive, drifting away from their roles as if the book itself was a mere myth. Or Maybe.. Is it? Slowly, Selena uncovers unsettling truths that suggest her life, the worlds, everything might be a lie. As the lines between fiction and reality blur, Seraphina must decide if she can carve her own path to survival or if she's destined for a fate far worse than the book ever predicted.

You Only Live Twice (Discontinued-ish)
Olivia was your average 18 year old girl. Keyword, 𝙬𝙖𝙨, until she drowned in a lake and woke up in a crappy novel her friend recommended to her. The character she'd been convinced to read it for ended up being a small-time, side villain that disappeared half-way through the story, Olivia Auclair, the duke's sickly eldest daughter with the same first name as her. And just as her luck would have it, she now is living as that Olivia. Truthfully, she barely knew what she was getting into or why she was sent here after death in the first place. The only recollection she had of the story was the spoiled, self-centered heroine, Angelica, with a generic backstory and extremely overpowered abilities, the main characters who surround her, and of course, her hatred for the fictional book. Her saving grace to stay alive and well? Well of course it is to befriend the two most prominent characters within her reach, the antagonist and the male lead. Both of which eventually would be roped into the heroine's harem, but if all went right then hopefully by then she wouldn't have anything to worry about. Unfortunately, her plan backfired some where along the way, and now she is faced with the heroine's silent wrath and jealousy, her pawns overprotectiveness, an adopted noble's persistence, family drama, and the ever enclosing end of the story. What's a girl to do in her second life except lie down and accept her impending doom? -> Currently being rewritten!!! <-
The Duke Fell for the Villainess
She was just a tired grade school teacher in the modern world- unappreciated, overworked, and denied her promotion year after year. Her only escape was her favorite otome game... until a tragic accident with a banana peel ended her life. When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in her small apartment anymore. She was in a luxurious mansion. In a child's body. The villainess of her favorite game. Born as the real daughter of a Marquis, she knew how her story was supposed to end: starvation, betrayal, poison, and death. Her stepmother and stepsister would steal everything from her, and her own father would let her die without a tear. But this time, she refuses to play the role of a doomed villainess. Armed with memories from her past life, loyal brothers at her side, and a sharp tongue sharpened by years of teaching, she'll rewrite fate itself. Yet the world of nobility is more dangerous than she imagined- scheming crown princes, false heroines, poisonous stepmothers, and a cold northern Duke whispered to be a beast. But what if the "beast" turns out to be the one man who sees her for who she truly is?
Legend of The villainess
You wake up one day in the body of a seven year old girl, hair dark as the abyss and eyes like smoldering embers. Memories from a long ago past from what feels like another world stuck in your mind gives you knowledge of the world you now inhabit. But this wasn't like before when you played the video game, no this is different because you're someone else. You know who you are- Blanca De Linderbrande, the villainess of your most beloved Otome game, Roses and Ravens which features the country of Valetia. However, you didn't play Blanca on your screen. No, you played Ellastasia- the main character of the game Roses and Ravens. The dating sim followed her life and Blanca was the villainess of the academy dating sim. This story wasn't supposed to be about you. In fact, you were supposed to be the bad guy that was slain by the hero at the end. But deep down, you find yourself not wanting to be evil, not wanting to do the horrible things you're destined to. You just want a peaceful life, one contrasting the life that your father, the Duke Alexander De Linderbrande had set out before you. He tried to drill into you that you cannot change fate, that your destiny is what it is and you can only accept it. But you never could, so why not break destiny and push beyond what could be? After all, it seems that you have free will here beyond that of any ordinary video game. You know what events are coming, you have watched the life of the villainess as Ellastasia, and by your eighteenth birthday you are quite prepared for what is to come- or at least you thought you were. Some things seemed to have changed when you came to this world. And when your time at the academy begins, you can already notice things are different than they were supposed to be. Making new rivalries, connections, and decisions, what will this new life be and will you take the reigns? Or will you fall into place like the puzzle piece you've been raised to be?

He now lives with his grandfather who is in a deteriorating state of Alzheimer's disease. It's a secret that Gavin must keep. Nobody can know or they will separate Gavin from his grandfather and put them both in state run homes. Gavin's plan is to stay invisible.
