Crush Theory

Crush Theory

Zainab Sambo

At Ashcroft Academy, every student has a number, and every number decides your life. Power, privilege, and popularity rule, while outsiders struggle to survive unnoticed. Claire is determined to stay under the radar, study hard, and earn her way out. But one accident humiliates Bryce, the untouchable heir at the top, and suddenly the Rank isn’t just a game—it’s a spotlight that could ruin her. As the system shifts and dangers rise, Claire and Bryce are forced to work together, testing boundaries, trust, and a spark that shouldn’t exist. In a school built to crush dreams, can love survive the scoreboard?

The Billionaire's Baby

The Billionaire's Baby

Kimi L. Davis

I slapped Gideon Maslow across the face. World-renowned billionaire entrepreneur. A man so rich and powerful he was practically royalty. And somehow, impossibly, my husband.

My eyes went wide, heart pounding in my throat as he grabbed my wrist. He stepped closer to me and pressed his lips against mine.

“I love this side of you, this angry, vicious side. And I think I’ll piss you off more often because I thoroughly enjoy seeing those green eyes blazing with fire.”

When Alice’s little brother falls ill, she finds herself in desperate need of money. Gideon Maslow offers her an insane deal: become his wife for a year, provide him an heir, and receive one million dollars. Can such a union have a happily-ever-after, or is it doomed to fail?

Every maiden in the realm is summoned to a grand estate for a fortnight of glittering revels, where a titled man—rich, reclusive, and rumored to be mad—must choose a bride. Whispers of strange deaths swirl through candlelit halls, but the promise of power, passion, and danger keeps hearts racing. Beneath the silk and smiles, everyone hides something. As the games of charm and deception unfold, one question burns brighter than the chandeliers: who will survive the Lord’s choice—and what will it cost to win his hand?

A charged encounter leads to a kiss that should never happen, and suddenly the roles they’ve worn for years no longer fit. As whispers spread and loyalties twist, Evie tries to hold on to her quiet life while discovering a side of Noah that disarms her. Noah battles the pressure to stay who everyone expects. Their fragile bond pushes them to face truth, shame, and the longing to finally be seen.

“You’re right,” he said, pressing his firm body against mine. “I don’t want you…”
