Pulitzer Prize Winners

I, Anastasia Lancroft, was promised power—then thrown to the wolves. My fiancé betrayed me for a stronger alliance. My father chose his new wife over his own daughter. And I was left with nothing but rage. So I made a choice. The Bastorin. A school for the cruel, the cunning, the next kings of the underworld. I came here for one reason—survival. Instead, I found him: Alexei Vasiliev, the dangerously magnetic ruler of this academy. His gaze pins me. His presence devours me. And he’s not the only one. My stepbrothers are here too—Nathaniel and Gabriel. Cruel. Possessive. Hungry for my downfall. Three men. Three predators. And I’m the prey they refuse to share. Now, I’m the prize in their twisted game— where every glance burns, every threat tempts, and every night drags me closer to surrender. This isn’t a love story. It’s a war for dominance. And I’m the one they all want to claim.

Amira Westwood had the life everyone wanted. Money. Name. A future mapped in gold. Then it all fell apart — her father’s empire crumbled, the man she loved broke her in the cruelest way, and the world watched it happen. Now she’s tied to Leon Mercer — the blind, untouchable CEO whose silence cuts deeper than his words. To save her father, she signed the contract. To save herself, she has to survive him. But Leon isn’t what he seems. And the more Amira learns, the more she wonders: is she the prize in his war… or just another pawn waiting to fall?
