They call her the "bad girl" of Prestige Academy. Scarlett Hart, leader of the Angel-Devil crew, surrounds herself with trouble and four guys who would burn the world for her. She thinks she’s untouchable. He’s the new transfer student, Shane Carter. Older, muscular, and with a gaze that sees right through her rebellious act. Scarlett thinks he’s just another nuisance to drive away. She doesn’t know he’s a detective. She doesn’t know he’s seen her file—the tragic past, the rumors, the photo found on a dead man. She doesn’t know a shadowy organization has her in its crosshairs. Shane’s mission was simple: protect the target. But the more he learns about the real Scarlett, the more the lines blur between duty and desire. To save her, he’ll have to earn the trust of a girl who trusts no one—before her enemies make their final move.

“It’s still her.” Three words. That was all it took for the carefully constructed world of my last five years to shatter into dust at my feet. Zane didn’t even have the decency to look away as he said it. For twenty years, I had been the third wheel. The reliable shadow to Jovienne’s brilliant sun. I had buried my own feelings for Zane so deep I almost forgot they existed, only daring to dig them up and confess them after Jovi had left the country and broken his heart. We built a life. A marriage. I truly believed, in my foolish, hopeful heart, that it was my happy ending. Now Jovienne was back, and the illusion was gone. The love of my life saw me only as a consolation prize. As my world collapses, the last person I expect comfort from is her husband—a man as cold and polished as he is powerful. Vance sees the same betrayal in my eyes that he sees in his wife's. Leaning in, his voice a dangerous whisper, he proposed the unthinkable: "They are living in the past. Let's be each other's revenge. What do you say, Nerissa?" I should avoid at all costs. It was a game that could burn our broken worlds to the ground. But as I looked into his eyes and saw the same raw, humiliating betrayal reflected back at me, the answer poised on my lips wasn't "no." It was a terrifying, thrilling question. “What,” I whispered, my voice steadier than I felt, “did you have in mind?”

She belongs to a wolf. She's married to the hunter. To the world, Elira Malven is the villainess who stole a princess's betrothed. But her gilded marriage to the legendary war hero, Kael Rennar, is a cage, and her husband has a deadly secret: he is a Wolfhunter, the sworn enemy of her kind. “Why?” The word was a crack in her composure. “Why did you push for this marriage? What do you want from me?” He didn’t turn. A faint, hollow smile touched his lips. “I don’t know why I insisted,” his voice was barely a breath. “I don’t know why I didn’t kill you the moment I suspected what you are.” Her only hope seems to lie with Thane, her true mate, whose touch awakens a primal bond in a dusty library. But he is the one who shattered her heart. “Then why leave?” she asked, raw and painful. “After I begged you—” “Because I was protecting you!” The words tore from him. “You were nobility. The Wolfkiller's wife. And I— I was nobody.” Torn between a hunter haunted by his mercy and a mate haunted by his sacrifice, Elira must choose: remain in a marriage built on a tragic mystery, or risk a love that demands a price neither of them may survive.

He took her love and turned her life undead, sinking his fangs into her neck. Now she's a creature of the night, forever lost to sunlight's warm embrace. She seethes with rage at the monster who robbed her of humanity, but fate has bound her to him for over three centuries. Even as she loathes him, she can't break free from his grasp.

She staged a dramatic scene to get a book. He saw right through her act. Now, she's staging an even bigger one to save him from his admirers. After librarian Lee Hyuk Soo coldly rejects her plea for help, aspiring actress Kim So Eun writes him off as a jerk. But when she realizes his icy demeanor is a defense against constant flirting from students, she sees the man behind the glare. Armed with a bold plan and a killer red dress, So Eun crashes his library shift. In a performance meant for every onlooker, she publicly claims him as hers, determined to give him the peace he craves. It was supposed to be a simple act of kindness, but as a genuine spark ignites between the dramatic actress and the stoic librarian, they both discover that the best performances aren't acted—they're real.
