"You think a title makes you my equal?" His voice was low, dangerous, his grip tightening just enough to make her breath catch. "You're a commoner now, Ivy. Nothing more."She smiled sweetly despite the way her pulse betrayed her. "Careful, Alpha. Commoners bite too."Ivy never asked to be an alpha's daughter — and she never asked to lose it all, either. While she was away, her father's ambition cost him everything: his title, his territory, his pride. Now she's home, forced to watch her family live as nothing under the rule of the very man who destroyed them — Alpha Damien, the most ruthless alpha the region has ever feared.He's cold. Stubborn. Rude to nearly everyone who crosses his path, a man who rules through fear and expects the world to bend to him without question. He humiliates Ivy on the training mat, puts her flat on her back without breaking a sweat, and shows her — again and again — exactly how little power she has left.But Ivy refuses to give him the satisfaction of watching her break. Every blow he lands, she gets back up. Every time he underestimates her, she makes him regret it.Slowly, without either of them meaning to let it happen, something shifts. The sharp edges he shows everyone else soften, just slightly, just for her. A hand lingers too long against her waist. A gaze follows her across a crowded room when he thinks she isn't looking. His fingers trail somewhere they shouldn't, leaving heat pooling low in her belly, her thighs pressing together helplessly under the weight of exactly what he's doing to her — and he knows it every time. He never takes what she won't give. Never crosses that final line. But every touch leaves her more undone than the last, aching for something neither of them says out loud.And then comes the truth that changes everything — a bond neither enmity nor conquest can undo. Because a mate isn't something either of them can walk away from, no matter how much history, how much blood, or how much hatred stands between them.Ivy has secrets of her own, too. Her real father was never who she believed. A throne she never asked for is coming for her — and the girl Damien thought he'd conquered may be the one person capable of unraveling everything he's built.Now fate has made her his — and there's no title, no throne, no war powerful enough to change that.Some enemies were never meant to stay enemies.Some conquests were always meant to be claimed.

Jenny Ashworth didn't know she had magic until a glass tipped itself into her hand. Now she's Undetermined — one of the rare students at Evermore Academy whose power hasn't chosen a shape yet, and one of the few the school seems unusually interested in. Between her ever-talking, invisible roommate Wren, her unnervingly quiet second roommate Marlowe, and the strange pull she feels toward Marcus — a hybrid third-year with a bloodline nobody can fully explain — Jenny is starting to realize Evermore doesn't just teach magic. It watches. It chooses. And it doesn't let go of what it picks.When Wren nearly drowns in a bathtub, invisible and unconscious, with no memory of how she got there, Jenny discovers her own power for the first time — an ability to sense danger in others, and to anchor it, before it consumes them. But the more she learns about what she can do, the more she suspects her power isn't random. It's exactly what the school — and Marcus — might need. Or exactly what they intend to use.With Steven watching from the sidelines and secrets tightening around her from every direction, Jenny has to figure out who she can trust, what Evermore really wants from her, and whether falling for Marcus means saving him — or being consumed by whatever runs through his blood.
