Dunbridge Academy

A friends-to-lovers dark academia romance set at the elite Scottish academy, featuring stunning stenciled edges and character art on the inside cover. "I don't want to just be anyone to her, I want to be everything." Charles Sinclair has been Victoria Belhaven-Wynford's best friend since fifth grade, the one person Tori can tell anything to-except how her stomach knots every time she's with her new boyfriend Valentine. Deep down, Tori knows what she feels for Valentine isn't comparable to her connection with Sinclair. But now her best friend is starring as Romeo alongside classmate Eleanor's Juliet in Dunbridge Academy's annual play, and Tori has been assigned to write their love story for the production. Since their one kiss years ago, Tori has tried desperately to forget her feelings for Sinclair, convincing herself they're destined to be nothing more than friends. Valentine Ward, rugby captain and unofficial king of their boarding school, seemed like the perfect distraction-until Sinclair's obvious disapproval made everything complicated. Now, she's trapped crafting the perfect love story for the stage while hiding her true feelings. As Tori writes romantic scenes for her best friend to perform with someone else, the line between fiction and reality begins to blur. How can she pen a love story for Sinclair and Eleanor when she wants nothing more than to be his Juliet?

Emma didn't come to Scotland to fall in love. Arriving at Dunbridge Academy-the prestigious school where her parents met-she has one goal: uncover the truth about the father who abandoned her. Enter Henry Bennington. Gorgeous, charming, and very taken. He's everywhere: in her advanced classes, on her morning runs, at the midnight parties. Emma vows to keep her distance-until Henry discovers her secret mission and offers to help. She tells herself she's only saying yes for his knowledge of the school's history... not because of those impossible green eyes. But when late-night research sessions turn into moonlit walks, their carefully drawn lines begin to blur. Emma knows she's falling for him. Henry can't deny his feelings either. And just as happiness seems within reach, fate intervenes. Now Emma has to choose: uncover the truth about her past or fight for a future with Henry-knowing either choice might break her heart.
