The Collision of Two Worlds Riley Morgan, a tough, no-nonsense girl from a working-class family, earns a scholarship to the prestigious Crestwood Elite Academy, known for housing the wealthy and elite students. She’s determined to prove that she belongs, despite the judgment and prejudice from her classmates. On the first day of school, she has an embarrassing encounter with Zayden Adrian, the wealthy playboy and heir to the Adrian fortune. Riley, riding her bicycle, accidentally crashes into Zayden’s luxury car, leaving a dent. The incident immediately sets the stage for their tense, antagonistic relationship, where Riley’s pride and Zayden’s arrogance clash. Act 2: The Unlikely Pair As Riley navigates the challenges of Crestwood Elite, she finds herself continuously crossing paths with Zayden. He becomes both a source of irritation and intrigue. Over time, Zayden's initial disdain for her gradually transforms into a strange admiration for her resilience and fearlessness. Despite his attempts to push her away, Riley’s strength and independence begin to captivate him in ways he hadn’t anticipated. They begin to form an unexpected bond, though neither of them is willing to fully admit their feelings. Meanwhile, Riley’s friends push her to stay away from someone like Zayden, but she can’t deny the growing pull between them. Act 3: Secrets, Lies, and Unspoken Feelings Their relationship deepens when Riley learns more about Zayden’s struggles. Beneath his cocky exterior is a boy who feels trapped by his family’s expectations. Riley becomes the one person who understands him, leading to moments of vulnerability between the two. However, their relationship isn’t smooth sailing. Both of them struggle with their pride and insecurities. Zayden’s friends mock his growing interest in Riley, and Riley’s classmates continue to treat her like an outsider. Tensions reach a peak when Riley finds out that her scholarship might be revoked due to the scandal caused by the car incident. Zayden, feeling guilty for what happened, takes matters into his own hands to help her, but it only causes more complications. Their personal feelings clash with their external pressures, causing them to push each other away in fear of vulnerability. Act 4: Breaking Down the Walls In the climax of the story, Zayden and Riley are forced to confront their feelings for each other. A major event, such as a school gala or a family emergency, forces them into an emotionally charged situation where they can no longer deny their chemistry. Zayden realizes that he’s not only attracted to Riley’s strength but also to her capacity for love and vulnerability. Riley, in turn, sees the real Zayden—the one who’s struggling to find his place in a world of expectations—and she begins to understand that beneath the playboy façade is someone worthy of her love. Act 5: Resolution and Growth The story concludes with Riley and Zayden fully accepting their feelings for each other, breaking through the walls of pride and fear they had built up. They work together to face the challenges that come with their social differences. Riley graduates from Crestwood with honors, and Zayden, now more emotionally mature, helps her secure a future that’s independent of her scholarship. The book ends with a proposal, where Zayden asks Riley to marry him after a year of navigating their relationship and overcoming their struggles. They leave high school, ready to take on the world together, as a couple who has learned the value of love, personal growth, and the strength of a partnership that transcends their different worlds.

The Duke’s Bargain

“What did you say?” Félix asked. She repeated, “Name your price.” “What is that supposed to mean?” His voice had tapered off with an unreadable emotion that got her weak in her knees, but she held out her chin. “Didn't you once offer to pay me off? Now, make me an offer I cannot refuse. Otherwise, I will go in there"—she gestured toward the Ball—"and make everyone think you dragged me out here to take advantage of me. I know exactly what that would do to your reputation.” “Say. That. Again,” Félix said through gritted teeth as he inched closer to her. ====================== She hadn’t meant to upset him or, worse, blackmail him. She didn’t even know who he was; she only knew he looked important because of how regally he stood in the moonlit dark. Estella was the baron of Cleverdale’s youngest, born into a hard life and always kept on her toes. Her stepsisters hated her. The baroness loathed her. And her father, the only one she called family, shattered her heart when he sold her to Viscount Alistair Ravensdale to cover up his misdeeds. The night of Lady Agatha’s ball, she seized her chance and ran straight into … Duke Félix of Chateaûbriant. In the dark, he mistook her for Princess Coralie, his fiancée, and kissed her. When the moon revealed her face, something about her stuck with him. He couldn’t shake the image of her running wildly or how she smelled like white lotus with hardcore roots. But when she threatened his reputation, he refused to play along. She returned to her world of cruel sisters and an unwanted engagement. What she hadn’t prepared for was the Duke arriving at her doorstep, making two outrageous claims. One. He was the Duke of Chateaûbriant. And two. She had stolen something valuable from him that night. What had she stolen without knowing it? Or worse, what could he possibly demand as repayment? ✯Like it? Add to Library!
