Twenty-two-year-old Sullivan Meadows knew dating Akara and Banks would be complicated, but now that her relationship is public, everything has been put on blast.

As the eldest daughter of famous parents, Luna Hale is anything but normal. She escapes most days inside the fandoms she loves and the fics she writes, and she’s accepted that real life just sucks more than fiction. But there is someone who could rival every swoony man inside her imagination. And he only lives three floors below her. Too bad he’s incredibly off-limits.

Jane Cobalt is an American princess. The loyal and painfully curious 23-year-old has inherited immense pressure to preserve the Cobalt legacy. But for Jane, sex, love, and life have been a series of royal failures. After a friends-with-benefits ended in disaster, she's sworn to a "no sex" hiatus for, well, eternity - and she has no intention of letting anyone in her bed and definitely not her heart.

You know that old saying “opposites attract” - well, no one ever tells you what happens after the attraction part. Do opposites stick together forever? Or do they just self-combust? And then there’s the third option: Someone or something forces them apart. Look, the third option isn’t happening to us. I will end the bastard who thinks he can keep me from her. I only need to worry about one thing.... Epic, soul-crushing self-destruction. Because I screw up everything I touch. Even her.

When fake rumors spread like wildfire—like having three-ways with her boyfriend's rock climbing brother—Lily Calloway retreats to a dark place: her bedroom. Loren Hale is more determined to keep their sex life private, even from their friends, and he helps Lily in the only way he knows how. But how much love is too much? Their lives are filmed, watched, and criticized. And through it all, Lily and Loren have to face enemies they never thought they'd see, demons they don't know if they should bury, and setbacks they didn't think they'd meet. Not this soon.

Tourists flock to Mistpoint Harbor to snap photos of the famous lighthouse, browse the Museum of Curses & Curiosities, and claim their “I survived the Most Cursed Town in America!” pin. But for me, growing up in Mistpoint Harbor wasn’t a vacation. Not when locals have a deep-seated loathing for my family. They hate my dad. They hate my older brothers. And they hate me—Zoey Durand, the girl who shrunk in high school at the taunts and jeers. Like a sad wilted flower. If it wasn't for October Brambilla, life would've been a real living hell.

As Daisy struggles to make sense of this new world and her freedom, she pushes the limits and fearlessly rides the edge. Ryke knows there's deep hurt beneath every impulsive action. He must keep up with Daisy, and if he lets her go, her favorite motto—"live as if you'll die today"—may just come true.

Personne ne pourrait soupçonner le secret de Lily Calloway. Dans les bars, pendant que les autres sont sur la piste de danse, Lily, elle, est aux toilettes. Pour baiser. Des coups d’un soir torrides, dont elle a honte et qu’elle regrette aussitôt le lendemain. Il se trouve que la seule personne dans la confidence se livre à un penchant tout aussi inavouable : pour Loren Hale, sa meilleure amie est sa bouteille de bourbon. Lily n’est pas loin derrière. Cela fait trois ans qu’ils font semblant d’être en couple, cachant leurs addictions respectives à leurs familles.

Cravings and fantasies become her new routine, but while Loren Hale recovers from his alcohol addiction, Lily wonders if he'll realize what a monster she really is. After all, her sexual compulsions begin to rule her life the longer she stays faithful to him. Progress. That's what Lily's striving for. But by trying to become closer to her family—people who aren't aware of her addiction—she creates larger obstacles. When she spends time with her youngest sister, she learns more about her than she ever imagined and senses an unsettling connection between Daisy and Ryke Meadows.

À vingt-trois ans, Rose Calloway pensait avoir tout sous contrôle. Elle est diplômée de Princeton, lauréate de prestigieux concours académiques, créatrice de mode à succès et fille d’un milliardaire influent. Mais tout n’est pas aussi simple... Alors que sa ligne de vêtements est en péril après le scandale sexuel lié à sœur Lily, Rose échafaude une solution aussi originale qu’inattendue pour la remettre à flot. Pour compliquer les choses, elle accepte de se mettre en couple avec Connor Cobalt, son rival universitaire à l’allure quasi divine.

No. More. Sex. Those are the three words Lily Calloway fears the most. But Loren Hale is determined to be with Lily without enabling her dangerous compulsions. With their new living situation—sleeping in the same bed, for real, together—Lily has new battles. Like not jumping Lo's bones every night. Not being consumed by sex and his body.

Plus. De. Sexe. Ce sont les trois mots que Lily Calloway craint le plus. Mais Loren Hale est déterminé à être avec elle sans encourager ses pulsions destructrices. Pour cela ils vont devoir dormir dans le même lit, être ensemble, pour de vrai, sans que Lily ne cède à la tentation. Comme celle de se jeter sur Lo tous les soirs, par exemple.

Alors que Loren Hale est parti en cure de désintox, Lily est terrifiée à l’idée qu’à son retour l’homme qu’elle aime se rendra compte du monstre qu’elle est vraiment. Car plus elle tente de lui rester fidèle, plus ses pulsions sexuelles semblent prendre le contrôle de son corps. Une vie plus saine, voilà ce à quoi Lily aspire. À mesure qu’elle s’efforce de se rapprocher de sa famille – qui ignore tout de son addiction –, de nouveaux obstacles surgissent.

Prepare for the worst, but hope for the best. That's what Lily Calloway and Loren Hale try to do when his father schedules an "important" meeting. The problem: after being swept into the public eye and battling their addictions, they're not sure what the worst is anymore.
