Blooming Alone

Laura Sinclair

Description：
For her entire life, Sunny Wells has been in Julian's hands.

He named her. He chose her major. He got her a job. He decided what she ate, what she wore, who she spent time with — and called it love.

When he found someone who challenged him intellectually and left Sunny behind, she had no idea how to exist without him. She had never learned.

Then a car accident gave her one terrifying, clarifying moment: she did not want to die. She had not yet lived.

*Blooming Alone* is the story of what Sunny builds next — through failed assignments, late nights, a competition she enters expecting to lose, and a prestigious career she earns entirely on her own.

By the time Julian comes back to say he made a mistake, Sunny has found something far more valuable than his apology.

She has found herself.

All I Ever Wanted Was Out

Cassandra Vane

Description：
At fifteen, Rory Ellison was brilliant, ambitious, and completely out of options.

An arranged engagement to Nathan Harrington — heir to one of the wealthiest families in the state — had been decided for her by a powerful old man she couldn't refuse. Nathan despised her. His mother plotted against her. And the professor who'd engineered it all watched from a distance, testing her without mercy.

So Rory decided to play the long game.

She would become Nathan's most devoted, most humiliating admirer. She would make herself indispensable to the family — and unbearable to him. She would maneuver every piece into place, and then, at exactly the right moment, walk away.

*All I Ever Wanted Was Out* is a razor-sharp story of a girl who refused to be someone else's prize — and the decade it took to prove it.

Some games are won by never playing the way they expect.
