The Golden Key Novel

Tamine Jordan has three rules for surviving Blackridge Academy: 1. Keep her head down. 2. Avoid the Thorpe brothers at all costs. 3. Never, ever, let her heart get involved again. But rules have a way of shattering, especially when your cheating ex and his infuriatingly charming half-brother are determined to make your life impossible. Atlas Thorpe, the boy who broke her heart, is cruel, smug, and still playing games that leave her humiliated in front of half the school. Evans Thorpe, the hockey team’s golden boy, should be easier to ignore… except one reckless night left her tangled in his memory and in his sights. Now Evans has maneuvered his way into her Literature class, and thanks to the world’s most sadistic teacher, Tamine is stuck tutoring him. Being near him is dangerous; not just because of his relentless teasing and disarming smile, but because she can’t stop remembering the way he once touched her. And when two brothers are locked in a rivalry where the prize is her, it’s only a matter of time before someone gets burned. The real question is, will Tamine survive the game, or end up playing it too?

Shana‘s world turned up side down when she realized she was wolfless.

Elara "Ella" has two secrets. The first? She's been secretly dating Damon Silverton, the star hockey player and the most popular guy in school, for nearly a year. He asked her to keep their relationship hidden until he was ready to go public. Ella agreed, even though it hurt to watch other girls, especially head cheerleader Sera Moon, throw themselves at him every day. The second secret? Ella is a werewolf. But her wolf has always been quiet, buried deep beneath years of bullying and rejection. No one knows. Not even Damon. When Damon promises to announce their relationship at the season's biggest hockey awards night, Ella finally lets herself hope. She sits in the front row, heart racing, ready to be seen. Ready to be chosen. But when Damon wins Best Player and Ella stands up, declaring her love for everyone to hear, he looks right through her. And calls Sera's name instead. The laughter still echoes in her ears three days later as she hides in her room. "Fatty." "Loser." "Did she really think he'd pick her?" On her fourth day back at school, broken and humiliated, Ella collides with someone in the hallway. A new student. Tall, intense, with eyes that seem to see straight through her walls. Her wolf, silent for eighteen years, suddenly explodes inside her chest with one undeniable truth: "Mate." But Kael Thorne isn't just any new student. He's a hockey player too. And he has no intention of letting the guy who broke his mate's heart get away with it.

Nora Jensen hat für alles einen Plan. Abschlussjahr? Durchgeplant. Bewerbungen fürs College? Erledigt. Gefühle für Cole Whitaker, den unerträglich charmanten Hockeystar der Millbrook High? Ganz sicher kein Teil dieses Plans. Doch als Cole an ihrem Spind auftaucht, mit diesem Blick, den er niemals zugeben würde, diesem verzweifelten, und sagt: Du schuldest mir was, hört Nora sich selbst zustimmen. Zu dem lächerlichsten Gefallen ihres Lebens. Ein Familienessen. Eine falsche Freundin. Einfach. Klar. Ohne Gefühle. Nur ist an Cole Whitaker rein gar nichts einfach. Nicht die Art, wie er sich ihre Kaffeebestellung merkt, ohne zu fragen. Nicht die Art, wie er seine Lieblingsfarbe als das Eis vor dem Spiel beschreibt, kurz bevor das große Licht angeht. Und nicht die Art, wie er sie nach dem Abendessen auf der Veranda ansieht, als wäre sie etwas, das es wert ist, behalten zu werden, während sie so tun soll, als würde er sie gar nicht ansehen. Nora hat einen Deal gemacht. Sie hat nur das Kleingedruckte nicht gelesen. Den Teil, in dem aus gespielten Abendessen echte Gespräche werden. In dem sich ausgehandelte Bedingungen plötzlich wie Gefühle anfühlen. In dem der Junge, den man nur vorgeben sollte zu lieben, zu der einen Person wird, bei der man sich nicht mehr verstellen kann. Die Regeln waren einfach. Halte nicht seine Hand. Sieh ihn nicht so an, als würdest du ihn mögen. Verlieb dich nicht. Zwei von drei sind gar nicht schlecht.

I wasn’t just rejected. I was destroyed. My mate, Drew, chose my best friend, Miriam… and together, they exposed me—my naked body displayed for the entire school to see. By morning, I was nothing. No longer a daughter. No longer a mate. Just a disgrace. So I made a choice. If they wanted to ruin me… I would ruin them right back. But I didn’t expect him. Ace Callahan, the Alpha’s son. The most dangerous player on the ice. And the one man I should have never touched. Because he hates me. Blames me for a past I barely understand. And worse? He’s my dead twin sister’s mate. Now we’re trapped in something neither of us can control. A fake relationship that feels dangerously real. A hatred that burns hotter than desire. A past that refuses to stay buried. He says he wants to punish me. Break me. Make me confess to a crime I don’t even remember committing. But his actions? They say something else entirely. Because no matter how much he tortures me… He’s the only one who protects me with his life. The only one who looks at me like I already belong to him. And then I uncover the truth. A curse tied to his touch. A sister I may have lost because of him. And a power inside me that was never meant to awaken. Now I’m not just fighting for revenge… I’m fighting to survive him. If you crave: 🔥 Enemies-to-lovers with explosive chemistry 🔥 Dark, possessive alpha males 🔥 Fated mates with a forbidden twist 🔥 Revenge, secrets, and betrayal 🔥 A heroine who rises from ruin Then this story will have you hooked from the very first page.
