He proposed with everything he had. She said no before she knew what he was worth. Chase Sterling spent four years pretending to be nobody, working restaurant shifts and tutoring rich kids, just to find out if the girl he loved could love him without his family's fortune attached. On graduation morning, he asked her to marry him with a ring he'd saved three months to afford. She called him a nobody and walked away. Forty five minutes later, the whole world found out Chase Sterling is heir to a forty seven billion dollar empire. And Vivian Ashford, valedictorian, golden girl, about to give the speech of her life, found out she'd just rejected the one thing she swore she'd never turn down again. He didn't forgive her. He humiliated her in front of two thousand people instead, and the video hasn't stopped playing since. Now their names are tangled together across every headline in the country, and no matter how far she runs or how cruel he gets, they cannot stay away from each other. Every scandal pulls them back into orbit. Every goodbye turns into something else. Some people fall in love. Vivian and Chase are something more dangerous. They are addicted.

Georgia Steele came to Rosethorn Academy to skate. Nothing more. She has spent her entire life chasing perfection on the ice, following every rule, every expectation, and every demand placed in front of her. Rosethorn is supposed to be a fresh start. A place where she can finally prove she is more than the girl her mother trained her to become. Then she meets Puck Hale. He is Rosethorn's golden boy. Captain of the hockey team. Heir to something Georgia cannot understand. Beautiful, arrogant, dangerously intense. And from the moment their eyes meet, Puck looks at her like he already knows her. Like she belongs to him. Georgia refuses to believe the strange pull between them means anything. She refuses to believe the whispers about wolves in the woods, the impossible things she sees after dark, or the way Puck's eyes sometimes seem to glow gold. But Puck knows the truth. Georgia is human. And she is his mate. Their bond should be impossible. Dangerous. Forbidden. As Georgia is drawn deeper into Rosethorn's secrets, accidents begin happening around her, the forest seems to watch her every move, and someone is determined to make sure she never discovers what Puck really is. Because the greatest danger at Rosethorn Academy isn't falling for the Alpha. It's discovering what happens when an Alpha's human mate is threatened. And Puck Hale has never been good at letting anyone take what belongs to him.

At Wolfsbane Academy, the mate bond doesn't ask permission — and it definitely doesn't check bloodlines first. Gasper Greymount is the Alpha heir: fast, precise, built for a legacy he never chose. Americus Rosewoode is the enemy house's daughter, already promised to another before she's finished unpacking. When their eyes meet across the Autumn Hunt, the bond between them ignites like nothing either family has felt in a generation — and both of them know exactly how this is supposed to end. They fall anyway. Around them, a whole school is quietly, catastrophically failing to save them: a best friend who chooses comfort over truth, a cousin torn between loyalty and love, a golden boy being pulled apart thread by thread by someone who thinks in leverage instead of people — and a boy who sees everything and says nothing until it's almost too late. Underneath all of it, something older than any bloodline is listening to the bond grow, patient and hungry, waiting for exactly the wrong moment. Spanning years, two warring houses, and a cast the size of a kingdom, this is a story about what happens when the people meant to protect you are too busy protecting the system instead — and what it costs, generations later, to finally build something worth the price that was paid for it. Two households, both alike in dignity. One bond, strong enough to break them both — and, eventually, strong enough to save everyone who comes after.

Everyone thinks I killed my husband's mistress. The truth is so much worse. I went to confront the woman who stole my marriage. I only wanted answers. Instead, one shove sent her crashing to the floor, and when she stopped breathing, my life ended with hers. My husband told me it was an accident. He told me he could fix everything. I believed him. Until I discovered the affair was only the beginning. Nathan has spent years stealing my family's fortune, turning everyone I love against me, and secretly drugging me so no one would believe the truth when I finally saw it. Every lie, every betrayal, every "coincidence" was part of a plan that started long before I ever knocked on that apartment door. Now the police think I'm a killer. My own family thinks I'm losing my mind. The only witness who can save me is the woman I killed. If I don't expose the monster I married before he takes my daughter forever, I'll become the final victim in a game he has been playing for years. And this time, he won't leave anyone alive to tell the truth.

I was just trying to survive my toxic family when I had the hottest one-night stand of my life. Then I found out he's my new stepbrother. And a mafia don. Demetrio DeLeon is dangerous, controlling, and completely off-limits. He's also the only man who's ever made me feel alive. Every stolen touch is forbidden. Every heated glance could destroy us both. But when his enemies come for me, I discover I'm not just some college dropout caught in the crossfire. I'm the missing daughter of the Russian Bratva's most feared pakhan. The girl whose kidnapping twenty years ago started a bloody war between two mafia empires. And now that war is back, with me at the center. Demetrio says he'll burn the world down before he lets me go. My biological brother Alexei wants to take me home to Russia. And I'm caught between two families, two worlds, and a love so consuming it might just kill us all. Some secrets are worth dying for. This one might cost me everything.
