Private Lessons

Private Lessons

by Chaotic Soul

Riley Adams is what high schoolers would call a nerd: booksmart and shy, with zero fashion sense. Tristan Harris is the exact opposite: captain of the football team, and the hottest guy in school by far. To say they don’t get along is putting it mildly… But then Riley starts offering private lessons to make some quick cash. Sure, they might despise each other, but it’s a thin line between love and hate.

Ava Darling may be a nerd, but she can’t wait to leave high school. On a good day, her fellow students ignore her; usually, they tease her. It’s just one more year though. Then she can move on to university and a fresh start. Unfortunately, a cruel prank puts Ava dead in the sights of school bad boy Hunter Black, who comes to her with a bizarre proposal. The two couldn’t be more different, but if they team up, they might find that secretly—very secretly—they have more in common than they think!

Something About You

Something About You

by J. Nathan

Kason

I’m what you call a god, a superstar, a winner.

I’m good at everything I do and

I know exactly how to get what I want.

Being a professional snowboarder is my purpose in life.

I’m only at Cranmore University to appease my parents.

But, if I want to graduate, I need to pass physics.

And, since failing is not an option,

Blackmailing a nerd who hates me is my last resort.

Shay

I’m what some call a geek, a nerd, a loser.

And I don’t care.

I know who I am.

I know where I come from.

And I know exactly where I’m going.

That’s why I’m at Cranmore University.

To get my degree and begin my life.

But that plan gets quickly derailed

Thanks to an unbecoming video

A blackmailing snowboarder

And his ex who’s hell bent on making my life miserable.

They say everyone comes into your life for a reason.

What happens when that person is the opposite of what you want

but exactly what you need?

And just my luck, I was destined to marry him thanks to rules from our MC.

I was serving drinks at the clubhouse the night we met. When he first looked at me, I could tell he didn’t want me as his girl. In fact, he looked furious when he realized we’d been paired.

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

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?

Desires of the Dark Forest

Desires of the Dark Forest

by Anne Onymous

The Dark Forest has always whispered to her—a pull she can’t ignore. Becoming a Hunter should mean slaying the creatures hidden in its shadows, but when she steps inside, the truth feels far more dangerous. These monsters don’t run from her… they reach for her. And their touch feels less like a threat and more like a promise. Each step draws her deeper, not just into the Forest, but into a web of longing, secrets, and a hunger she can’t name. What if she wasn’t called here to kill at all? What if the Forest wants her for something far more intoxicating—and far more impossible to escape?
