I quickly drop my gaze, focusing on the perfectly written notes before me. The last thing I need is another complication, especially one with silver rings and a devil-may-care attitude. --- Cass Alcott has always been the girl with a plan. Between balancing her dance scholarship, Aether studies, and avoiding the pressures of her overbearing family, she doesn't have time for distractions-especially ones that come in the form of messy, infuriating boys. So, when she's paired with Elliott Thornton for a literature project, she braces herself for disaster. Elliott is everything she's not-reckless, aloof, and never on time. But as they dive into their assignment, unraveling the complexities of classic romances like Pride and Prejudice and Wuthering Heights, Elliott's rebellious nature begins to pull Cass into a world she's always avoided. From sneaking into empty theaters to stargazing from rooftops, Cass finds herself breaking all her carefully crafted rules. Beneath Elliott's mysterious, too-cool-for-everything exterior lies a deeper connection to the stories they're studying-and to Cass herself. Caught between her need for control and Elliott's chaotic charm, Cass is forced to confront her own ideas about love, identity, and the thrill of the unknown. Will their project bring them closer together, or will the emotional intensity they uncover be too much to handle? With a touch of witchy academia, heart-fluttering romance, and the magic of self-discovery, Ink & Ivory is a slow-burn that explores the fine line between order and chaos-and what happens when opposites collide.

From her fluffy pillows to her My Melody phone case, Amelienne de Rose believed life could be soft and sparkly, like ballet slippers kissed by ribbons and stardust. Her dream? To dance at St. Katerina's-Russia's most elite arts school-where legends are born and pink pointe shoes become sacred relics. And she made it. Fresh shoes, flawless outfits, a heart full of glittery hope. But no one warned her that even a rose can wilt in a cold palace. No one warned her that he-the boy with the violin, the messy blond hair, and the eyes that should've looked at her-would only ever look at her best friend. No one warned her what it felt like to be perfect... and still not be chosen. As friendships blur, rivalries deepen, and her final performance approaches, Amelienne will give it everything-her body, her grace, her soul-to finally be seen. But the stage is a cruel place. And the spotlight never stays pink for long. 🩰 Blood on satin. 🕯 A chandelier. 🌹 A pink rose in her parents' arms. And the truth in a whisper: "I was the other woman."
