About this listen
Four Dangerously Hot Kings have declared War and what do they all want? Aria…
After being framed for murder, Aria Kolgrim is given two choices. She either attends Ravenwell Academy to master her Void Magic or spend the rest of her days in prison.
The Academy seemed like the safest choice, but she soon finds herself drawn into a cruel world of warring factions ruled by Four Powerful Wizard Kings. Each wants her to be their queen and nothing can stand against their wanton wishes.
Aria is determined not to lose her freedom to the will of the Kings, but how can she win against Four Powerful Elementals who will stop at nothing to claim her? Can she fight when the King’s jealous exes come for her, out for blood? Will she survive the merciless bullying by her classmates? Or will she succumb to the Four King’s wicked teasing, meant to break her and make her submit?
If she caves, she’ll lose her freedom forever. So, she’d better think fast. Because the Kings are coming for her and when they do, she’ll lose more than her autonomy or even her life.
She’ll lose her heart.
This is the first book I have ever written and may or may not live up to the expectations you may have if you have read my later works. I bared my soul writing this book, this includes sewing my anxieties and fears into each and every chapter. This story contains numerous triggering events with some horror elements included. This story is VERY immersive and offers a one-of-a-kind reading experience that you will either hate or love. With 2 books available, this series is incomplete, and the completion date is unknown. I hope you can enjoy the story so far, flaws and all.
This series is a unique, STEAMY, Bully Academy Romance with a Strong Heroine and 4 Wicked Twin Kings. Don’t miss out on this 'no choosing' romance. Not For Children.

Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Story
It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and Charlotte and Seth are not looking for romance. Armed with emotional-support bear spray, Charlotte is in self-imposed isolation and on guard from men. Having a stalker can do that to a person’s nerves. Just across the hall and giving off woodsy vibes is Seth, a recently divorced arborist. As in today recently. Heights, he’s fine with. Trust? Not so much.

Story
Liv’s happy with life in her thirties. She has two cats, one BFF, and no boyfriend, which is just how she likes it. Plus, she loves working at a not-for-profit software company where she can be her authentically autistic self. This is her happy ever after. But when her beloved firm merges with a repulsive rival, Liv finds herself competing with her sort-of-ex for the top job. Sure, Finn had been Liv’s best friend, with his nerdy good looks and their shared love of Tolkien, but there was that one night, their song, and … well, she doesn’t like to talk about it.

Story
After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

The Blood Auction is where humans are nothing more than cattle, and tonight, I catch the eye of Seth Hayden, the ruthless Vampire King of the North. His cold, predatory gaze locks onto me, a silent promise that sends a shiver down my spine. I'm meant to be nothing but a mortal plaything, but deep inside, a spark of defiance ignites. Seth’s touch is ice and fire, his power overwhelming. His cryptic words hint at a past tied to mine, one I can’t yet recall. I should fear him, hate him for the world his kind have ...

Freedom has been a dream far too unrealistic until the day I find myself with the means to fly. It’s kind of funny that I use the word fly when it’s the discovery of others with wings that cements my freedom. Nothing is as it seems though and when I try to figure things out, they just get hot, steamy and extremely confusing.
