Peartree House. A home where girls were taught discipline. A home where they were taught how to please powerful men. But I was different. I never understood why I wasn't trained like the other girls, but I was content with being a shadow no one noticed. Until that changed, and a man with a black heart claimed me for himself. He told me he'd never love me, and that my only use was to please him and give him an heir. He was cruel. Vicious. A man I hated with every part of me. A man I could never fall in love with. Or so I thought...

I thought my third one might happen when Bolan Adler is the newest client of the sports management agency I work for. The same business that just promoted me to agent status when I hadn't asked for the position.

But when my buddy Tucker bets I can’t get Colette to go on a date and kiss me under the mistletoe by Christmas Eve, I can’t resist.

Everyone at Heir Academy has a secret, friends and enemies alike, and it's up to me to navigate them all and get us out alive. Raiden, Kryll, Brody, Cassian… I'm not sure I would have survived this long without them, and it's about time I stop ignoring my heart. The problem is we walked right into their trap. But I'm not easy prey. I'm the rightful heir of Floodborn Kingdom, and I'll stop at nothing to prove I am worthy.

It crowned me a princess, then ripped it away overnight. It gave me the determination to restore my family name, despite the hatred of my kind throughout the kingdom.

This journey has led me through trials and up against enemies I could have never foreseen. Despite all this lies a glimmer of hope in four men I never saw coming.

My plan was simple… return to Floodborn, enroll in the new academy, and earn the throne, all while returning the fae to our former glory and claiming my birthright. And yet nothing has been simple since the moment I arrived. Part of me should have known, and the other part blames the four men I can't seem to escape.
