My Secret Bully Mate: An Enemies to Lovers High School Drama Romance

In the elite world of Crestmore Academy—a school for the children of powerful corporate and political families—Amira Chase is a nobody.
The illegitimate daughter of a disgraced ex-CEO, Amira is invisible, unwanted, and unwanted by her family, especially her older brother—now the golden boy of the family empire.

Labeled a freak for keeping to herself and wearing oversized clothes to hide her bruises, Amira endures relentless bullying from the Academy’s elite. Chief among them? Kieran Vale. Rich, arrogant, untouchable—and secretly dealing with demons of his own. He singles out Amira with cold precision, unaware she’s the same girl who anonymously saved his sister from assault last year.

What no one knows is that Amira is a trained street fighter, taught by her late mother who once ran an underground resistance against corruption. Amira hides her strength, afraid of being dragged into the spotlight again after her family fell from grace.

But when a new program is announced at the Academy—The Iron Circle, a highly selective competition to crown five youth ambassadors to lead national reform—Amira sees a way out. A chance to prove her worth. A future that doesn’t depend on her family name.
To win, she must compete against her bullies—and worse, partner with Kieran. Forced to train, debate, and work together under pressure, secrets unravel. Kieran discovers her past, her hidden brilliance, and the truth behind the bruises. Slowly, hate turns into a fragile understanding.

But the higher Amira rises, the more her family, her enemies, and the toxic culture at Crestmore push back. She’s not just fighting to win the program—she’s fighting for survival, for identity, and for a voice in a world that wants her silent.
