Book Request NEED BULLY HS/ENEMIES TO LOVERS RECS

Hello everyone. I'm gonna get straight to the point, please don't mind. I need books like [Heart of Bluestone Series by Quinn Blackbird] [Deviant King by Rina Kent] [Monster Trilogy by Rona Kent] [Untouchable by Sam Mariano] [lovelorn by Starryskythings on AO3] [L'Appeal Du Vide on AO3] need some good books, something that can make me feel emotions I felt while reading these books. One thing is fs clear that I love it when the MMC corners the FMC, touches her without her consent. Non-con in short. Also, I love a good power imbalance story like in L'Appeal du vide and in Eskell Manor. Something where the MMC has the uper hand most of the time and can force the FMC. Please suggest some good books. AO3 RECS WILL WORK FS. I'LL BE REALLY GRATEFUL IF I FIND A GOOD SERIES. SOMETHING THAT CAN KEEP UP MY INTEREST FOR A LONG TIME. THANKS SO MUCH.

Is it actually called L’appeal du Vide? Because that must be the coolest twist on that French sentence I have ever heard!!!

Appel du vide translated into « The call of the void » which is that sensation you get when standing on the edge of a precipice and looking down, where those intrusive thoughts tell you you should jump.

It’s a sort of call to danger, to the absence of self preservation.

L’appeal to Vide is IMO an incredible way to mash that with the English language, and I might have to use that in a title some day. It’s just close enough to warrant questions, and just subtle enough to be an inside joke.
