It wasn't supposed to be like this.

Evergreen Academy was meant to be my fresh start. My hair was on point. My skin was flawless. And now I wore the hell out of my clothes instead of hiding them.

Even running into Ryder hadn't thrown me. So what that the silver-eyed devil who tormented me for years now ruled my new school with a band of boys everyone called the Knights. The four of them were devastatingly rich, enviously handsome... and heartbreakingly cruel.

But the Evergreen Knights didn't scare me. I had my own plans and no reason to enter their little world... until one fateful night and a masquerade ball changed everything.

I saw something I shouldn't have and now I've been Marked.

They'll do everything they can to break me but they don't know the monsters I've faced. They don't know I've been broken before.

If they want to take on Valentina Moon... bring it on.

My parents forgot something when they ran… me.

After scamming most of our town out of their life savings, my folks disappeared in the middle of the night.

Forced to take me in, my estranged aunt and uncle shipped me off to Raven River Academy the first chance they got.

In my town, the line between the haves and the have-nots is actually a twelve-foot gate that keep the unwanted where they belong. Nothing could unite the two factions until I set foot on campus.

For the first time in our history, they all agree on one thing:

I must pay for my father's sins.

But why should I care?

The joke is on them because I have nothing left inside. No part of me that isn't already broken. I invite them to do their worst.

Until The Angels enter the game.

The most dangerous gang in town has a score to settle with my family, and Cassius, Clay, Hiro, and Royal are here to collect.

Raven River soon becomes a battleground of lies, deceit, and violence, and I stand at the heart of it.

The gorgeous otherworldly Angels will remind me that there is one thing left that I care about… and they'll destroy it in heavenly fire.

I knew when I started this path it would lead to destruction...

...but nothing could have prepared me for this.

I can't tell who the angels, demons, or devils are anymore.

I just know they're all after me.

Every story needs a villain.

I need an escape.

From the fear.

From the pain.

From the creeping shadow that's hung over my life for as long as I can remember.

What I don't need is a husband. Not that my parents want to hear it.

Every three years, the young eligible men and women in my community gather in Citrine Cove to party, flirt, and leave the island with a fiancé on their arm.

Falling in love optional.

The last thing I want is to participate in this sham. Especially not alongside the boy who tricked me. The boy who dumped me. And the boy who tortured me.

Love is not in the cards for me, but so much of my life is out of my control. Why should this be any different?

Preston, Nathan, and Carter are breaking down my walls. Breaking my rules. Making the girl who hates fairy tales believe in a happily ever after. Every day with them they drag me deeper into their depths, singing that siren song I can't resist.

Unfortunately, my life belongs to only one man…

…and he'll kill to keep it that way.

Hell's Belle is a contemporary why choose college enemies to lovers romance. This book is a standalone and features language, dark themes, and sexual scenes. If you're cool with that, dive in!

The trouble with bullies is... they hate when you stand up to them.

I used to be on top. I used to rule the school. Then one cruel act knocked me off my pedestal and Christian was more than happy to ride me down.

Christian Moreau: resident bad boy, former best friend, now my tormentor. Nobody dared to stand up to him until one girl, a bottle of vodka, and a shove changed everything.

Yeah, that girl was me.

If only I had known what that shove would set off.

A war with the Queen Bee of Meadow Creek. Long-hidden dark secrets revealed. And Christian Moreau moving in down the hall.

Christian lures me into his game, but he's not the only bully that came to play.

Can I handle the price of playing when winning may grant me his heart... but losing could cost me my life?

Maverick

The more answers I unearthed, the less I understood.

I stepped into this game not knowing the rules, and now, they're playing me to their beat.

Old faces reappear.

New friends circle.

I got closer to the puppeteer as they got ever closer to me.

And when they struck, I wasn't ready.

Valentina

A queen sacrifices for her subjects.

A president makes the hard decisions.

And a girlfriend does whatever has to be done.

I'm all three, and for my friends, sisters, and love, I'll bring the Sallys and Sams to their knees.

Evil twins are supposed to be something out of a bad fantasy novel, but not for me.

My mirror is a monster. A gaslighting narcissist who framed me for an act of bullying so vicious, our mother threw me out of the house and snatched my inheritance from me on the way out the door.
Ten years later, Mother is dying, and my life is a disaster. My apartment is a shithole. I'm thousands of dollars in debt, and my boss says if I quit, or dump him, he'll show the world the "videos" we made when I thought I was in love with the bastard.
One day, my sister shows up at my crappy apartment, begging me to come back and fulfill Mother's wish of seeing me one final time. I gave in. I got in her car.

That was my first mistake.

The deer came out of nowhere. There wasn't even time to brake.
I woke up hours later bleeding, broken, and sitting next to a dead body.
I panicked... then I had an idea.
When the cops arrived, I was alone. They looked through the purse in the back. They read the registration. They asked me if I was my sister, and I said yes.

That was my second mistake.

That night, the police drove me to the mansion on the hill. Inside, my sister's husbands, each more gorgeous and heart-breakingly charming than the last, welcomed me as their wife. My sister's daughter hugged and called me Mommy. My mother smiled at me, looking at me as her perfect child, and not the one she threw away.
And just like that, I took her life like my sister took mine. I stepped into the role of perfect wife, mother, and daughter, and that...
...that was the mistake that killed us all.

Welcome to Breakbattle Academy.

The first school of its kind where survival of the fittest is not a saying, it's your reality.

Ruled by those who are elite in name, beauty, and cunning; Breakbattle takes the war of the classes to a whole new level.

The next four years of my life will be a fight the likes of which I can't yet comprehend, but first I have to survive orientation week. 

The Elite Class has plans for me. They will test me until I break, but there is nowhere for me to run.

Secrets and lies lurk beneath the made-up facade, and I don't mean Breakbattle.

I mean me.

There is something that I have to do. There is someone that I'm after. He doesn't know that I'm coming. He doesn't know who I am. But nothing will stop me from seeing my plans through.

Not my family. Not the Elite Class. Not the pesky fact that I'm a girl.

Breakbattle's all-boys campus is getting a new student. Don't call me Zela.

Call me Zeke. 

They are everything to me.

I love Jaxson, Ezra, Maverick, and Ryder the same and in vastly different ways all at once. It's a love that threatens to consume me. To take over every waking second of my final year...

...if only hidden enemies, ancient secret societies, and unsolved murders weren't also competing for my attention.

This will be my hardest term yet.

Not just for the horror of the present, but for the uncertainty of my future. How can I have a life with my knights when someone is determined that I don't survive my senior year at all?

But I will find them. I will expose them.

And by the end... only one will be left standing.

The nature of the game has changed.

But my feelings for my guys haven't.

As the search for Kieran intensifies, the battle between us reaches its pitch. And in every fight, Brutal shows up to win.

My silent, savage love has his own reasons for starting this war, and nothing will get in his way.

Something we have in common.

I will defeat the undefeatable Brutal. I'll bring him into my loud, chaotic world and make him mine.

In spite of the Kings.

In spite of Kieran.

In spite of the ledger.

Brutal will bend his heart to me.

I've never lost a fight either.

They think they won.

The Elite thought it would end at the battle, but I'm taking them to war.

I will topple Landon, Michael, and Cole off their thrones even if it means bringing the system to its knees.

Tensions are boiling beneath the surface of Breakbattle Academy. Protests are erupting, the lower classes are fighting back, and the Elites aren't as invulnerable as they thought. The school is ready to blow.

All they need is the right girl to light the match.

Don't piss off the Elite Class.

That wasn't in the rulebook, but it should have been. Landon, Michael, and Cole may have the faces of angels, but a soul turns black when it's betrayed.

The Elites have sworn to take me down, but I can't get much lower.

Or so I thought.

Breakbattle wants us to fight and the boys are happy to oblige.

No one will help me. No one can. I either show I'm strong enough to rise, or I suffer at the bottom where I belong.

They'll try to break me. They may even succeed. But I can't leave. I can't reveal myself.

I became Zeke for one reason... and I'm not done yet.
