Author of Ellis Academy, out June 9, 2026

When Prescott Academy burns down, Ellis Academy opens its doors, becoming a co-ed boarding school. The corresponding student councils must work together to make it as smooth a transition as possible, but that can be a challenge when they can barely stand to be in the same room.

Emma Bishop is clever, cynical, and despises Benedict—her new co-Vice President. Benedict is philosophical, doesn't believe in love, and hates Emma. They struggle to work together as every encounter between the pair turns into a verbal sparring session—so much for an easy senior year. Things get even more complicated when their respective best friends start dating.

Ryan Tate is brooding, bitter, and wants nothing more than to take his medio-hermano, Phillip Westin—Prescott President-down a notch. With the help of his friends, Jason and Jose, he plans to do just that, but manipulating the group proves to be harder than he thought—he's gonna have to go big or go home.

Garfield "Tiger'' Moriarty is asexual, aromantic, non-binary, and never fit in anywhere until they carved out a place for themselves and created the disciplinary committee to keep the school bully—and budding psychopath—Jason, in check. They will have their work cut out for them when these two groups collide.

The ensuing games of love, deception, and revenge culminate in the long-standing feuds reaching their climax the night of the Harvest Festival, where battle lines are drawn, and unlikely alliances are formed. The final showdown will test friendships, reveal hidden desires, and force them to question everything they thought they knew.
