    Behind the Blackwood Gates

    At Blackwood Academy, everything is polished—expensive uniforms, powerful families, perfect grades, and carefully guarded reputations. For Y/N, senior year should have been about surviving exams and making it to graduation. Then there's Mr. Whitmore, the school's brilliant 38-year-old English teacher who has somehow become the most talked-about man on campus. Between academic rivalries, school politics, friendships, rumors, parties, and secrets hiding behind Blackwood's perfect image, senior year is about to become far more complicated than Y/N ever expected. At Blackwood, everyone has something to hide. The question is what happens when the perfect image finally cracks.

    He's Gay , but maybe not

    He was gay. She was his best friend. There was never supposed to be anything else. Ethan and Y/N have always been inseparable—two best friends who tease each other, share everything, and know each other better than anyone else. Ethan has never questioned his attraction to men, and Y/N has never seen him as anything more than her best friend. Until something starts changing. A lingering glance. A strange jealousy. A touch that suddenly feels different. Neither of them knows when their friendship starts becoming something neither was prepared for—but once the line between best friends and something more begins to blur, pretending nothing has changed becomes impossible.

    Her Sister's Best Friend

    Y/N has known Ryan, her younger sister Kimmy's best friend, since Grade 7. Now 18, Ryan is a popular, funny, secretly nerdy senior who has always seen Y/N as Kimmy's cool older sister. But this year, something begins to change. Ryan slowly develops feelings for Y/N, becoming a shy, hopeless yearner around her while trying to understand emotions he's never had before. At the same time, Kimmy unexpectedly starts seeing Ryan differently—and realizes she may have fallen for her best friend. Neither knows what the other is feeling, and Y/N is caught completely unaware as years of friendship slowly turn into something far more complicated.

    All eye's on you.

    Y/N is one of the most recognizable girls at university. Mika Bennett is just as popular, but for an entirely different reason—everyone loves him. He's kind, talented, respectful, and known for his beautiful voice. They've seen each other countless times around campus, but they've never actually known one another. Until they finally meet. What begins as simple familiarity slowly becomes friendship, then attraction, and eventually something neither of them expected. But feelings don't develop in isolation. Y/N's best friend has had a crush on Mika for longer than anyone realizes. Meanwhile, one of Mika's closest friends finds himself becoming interested in Y/N. And as Mika's feelings for her grow, so does the intensity behind them. Because the sweetest guy on campus has a side nobody sees coming.

    The new neighbor

    A mysterious new neighbor moves into Y/N's wealthy neighborhood, and within a day, every woman is talking about him. Dante Miller is older, intimidating, single—and completely uninterested in the attention. When Y/N's mother organizes a neighborhood welcome gathering, Y/N is sent to invite him personally. She expects a simple introduction. She doesn't expect the man next door to slowly become the one person she can't seem to stay away from.

    The innocent soldier

    After years of war, 27-year-old Elias Carter returns home and is taken in by Y/N’s family while he adjusts to civilian life. He looks like an intimidating monster—but behind the soldier is a man unfamiliar with ordinary family life, romance, and everything outside the battlefield. As Elias becomes part of the household, slow-burning connections, family drama, unexpected feelings, and secrets from his past begin to unfold.

    My bestie's BROTHER.

    Y/N and Jessica are best friends, and Y/N already knows the Laurent family and their home well. The only Laurent she's never met is Jessica's older brother, Alexander, who has only ever heard about her. Their first meeting happens when Y/N arrives with Jessica and Alexander unexpectedly comes downstairs shirtless and fresh from sleep. Alexander is 35, wealthy, confident, experienced with women and used to getting attention, but Y/N unexpectedly catches his interest. Their relationship develops slowly through family gatherings, parties, jealousy, arguments, unexpected situations and everyday moments. Alexander can be charming, caring and playful, but also possessive, petty, protective and intimidating. The story is never boring or repetitive and constantly introduces new events, conflicts and situations beyond the romance.

    Summoned The Demon Lord

    It was supposed to be a harmless university sleepover. Y/N and her three closest friends—Amelia, Sienna, and Marcus—had spent the evening drinking soda, eating junk food, gossiping and daring each other to do increasingly stupid things. Eventually, someone pulled out an old Ouija board they'd found at a second-hand shop. None of them truly believed in demons. It was a myth. A game. Something they could use to scare themselves before laughing about it afterward. They were wrong. The planchette moved. At first, they accused each other of pushing it. Then the lights flickered. The temperature dropped. And something on the other side answered their questions. They hadn't summoned a ghost. They hadn't summoned some weak wandering demon. They had summoned the Demon Lord. An ancient ruler of the demonic realm, feared by demons and supernatural creatures alike. He has existed for centuries, commanding an entire kingdom beneath the human world. Humans weren't supposed to know he existed, let alone summon him. And now four humans had called him into their world. He doesn't forgive trespassers. He doesn't believe humans deserve mercy. And he certainly doesn't intend to simply return to his realm and forget what happened. Instead, he decides that each of the four humans will pay for summoning him. But death would be far too easy. Amelia — The Silent Curse Amelia is confident, outspoken and the loudest skeptic of the group. She laughed throughout the entire ritual and insisted that nothing could possibly happen. So the Demon Lord takes her voice. She can scream. She can cry. She can desperately try to warn her friends. But nothing comes out. Everyone around her can speak normally. They can hear one another perfectly. Only Amelia is trapped in silence. And the Demon Lord can speak directly into her ear whenever he wants. Her voice eventually returns—but only when he allows it to. Sienna — The Endless House Sienna was the most nervous about the Ouija

    Now the Devils daughter.

    Kidnapped as a infant by the most feared mafia boss they call him the DEVIL. Two rival mafia dynasties have spent generations at war, but there is only one man feared above them all—Dante Valeri, the Devil of Rome. At thirty-one, Dante is beautiful, powerful, and utterly ruthless. When the Vercelli family crosses him, he destroys their empire and leaves no survivors—or so he believes. Until he discovers their newborn daughter hidden inside the estate. Y/N Vercelli. She is supposed to die with the rest of her family. Instead, something about the infant makes Dante hesitate. He takes her, erases her identity, and raises her under his own surname. The world believes Y/N died that night. Y/N grows up believing Dante is her father, never knowing he is the man who destroyed her biological family. To the world, Dante remains a merciless criminal capable of unimaginable cruelty. To Y/N, he is simply Dad—the man who raised her, protected her, and eventually made her his entire world. Alongside her grows Matteo Valeri, Dante's seven-year-old nephew. He believes Y/N is his cousin and becomes her closest companion and protector. As they grow into adulthood, their childhood bond slowly develops into something neither expected. But the Valeri family is built on secrets. And the greatest secret of all is Y/N herself. She isn't a Valeri. She's the last surviving heir of the family Dante swore to destroy.

    Understanding you

    Her parents call it an attitude problem. Simon Baker calls it something else. He's one of the most sought-after therapists in the city—brilliant, charming, and unnervingly observant. He's spent years reading people who walk into his office believing they can hide behind money, lies, and carefully constructed personalities. Then Y/N becomes his newest patient. Her wealthy parents want him to fix their difficult daughter. Simon isn't convinced she needs fixing. At first, she's simply another case. Another person to understand. Another story waiting to be uncovered. But the longer their sessions continue, the more complicated things become. Because Simon has always been exceptionally good at reading people. And eventually, he meets someone he can't.

Because Ryder doesn't fall easily. But when he does, he falls all the way.
