Spice: 3/5

High sexual tension and forbidden-at-the-academy vibes; heat builds through proximity and missions.

The vibe 

Nia is a bookseller who’s been saving for years for one perfect vacation: champagne on a beach, surrounded by her favorite books. Instead, she gets abducted—by Raphael, a muscular, tattooed fey who’s equal parts lethal and infuriating.
Yes. Kidnapped.
Raphael insists Nia has a rare power: she can cross the magical barrier between the human world and the fey realm, making her a critical weapon in the war against an evil fey king. Whether she wants it or not, Nia is forced to train at Avalon Academy—Camelot’s elite spy school, where the rules are simple: spy on your enemies, resist temptation, and try not to die.
Nia is in way over her head. She’s asthmatic, out of shape, and surrounded by students built for combat and deception. Survival alone feels like a long shot—especially with Raphael watching her every move. He’s arrogant, dangerous, and hot as hell, and every mission they’re sent on together makes him harder to resist.
But romance is forbidden at the academy for a reason: a distracted spy is a dead spy. Touching Raphael is playing with fire… and Nia has to decide if she’s ready to get burned.
