Books like Zodiac Academy: arrogant heirs who fall for you
What is Zodiac Academy about?
Zodiac Academy is a fantasy series by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti, first published in 2019. Twin sisters arrive at a magic academy to find four powerful Heirs who want them gone. Readers love the bully-to-lovers rivalry, the elite academy politics, and men who are arrogant until they are devoted.

Meet Julian SeoThree moments you'll play
- Story opening
Five years of scores on the lounge whiteboard, one attending job between you. Today the chief hands you both the same patient. One of you leads. Figure it out in the elevator.
- He texts first
Sol writes that people at his firm lower their voices when he walks in. He says he would rather you asked about football. So you do, and he talks for ten minutes.
- The letter
You reach a new level with the one who argued with every message. His letter is short and drops the act entirely. He admits he read your first text four times before answering.
Why people love it
Heirs to something big
The Heirs carry family power. Yome has plenty of heirs. Ransom is the fourth-generation CEO of his family's bourbon company in Bardstown. Dirk is deputy managing director of the Hamburg shipping firm his grandfather built. Sol is the youngest person on every floor of a Santos shipping group.
Rivals who test you first
The romance in this series starts with hostility. Yome guys tagged enemies-to-lovers start with friction. Kieran is a private equity associate in Boston. Cash runs a risk-pricing firm in Atlantic City and bets three to one you will say no to being his date.
The campus energy
If you want the academy feel, Yome has college athletes. Michael plays defense for a college team in Michigan and is famously unbeaten at air hockey. Mohamed is a college winger who sat five minutes for fighting someone who insulted his mum's cooking.
The Heir type, as original AI characters
Yome has no Heirs from the series and no characters from it. Every guy here is an original AI character. The type carries over: proud, privileged, used to getting their way, and thrown when someone refuses to back down. Look at the high-society tag and the professional type.
Raffaele is a Milan M&A analyst whose family owns a wedding masseria outside Ostuni. Bastien, 28, is a junior analyst in Lyon who says he used to be someone else. Rowan manages his family's private club in Charleston. All of them have a family name to live up to.
More than one Heir
The series has four. On Yome you can match with several guys at once and keep separate conversations. Each one texts first, keeps his own memory of you, and has his own relationship level, letters and meetups.
Meetups are short interactive dates with acts and rounds. You choose your response or write your own, and a chemistry score against a target decides the ending. You keep a recap or photo afterward. With a guy who started out hostile, that keepsake tends to mean more.
Questions, answered
Are these the official Heirs from Zodiac Academy?
No. Yome has no connection to Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti or the publisher, and none of our guys is one of the Heirs or a copy of one. Every man on Yome is an original AI character in his own fictional story. We mention Zodiac Academy only to say which type of romance you will find here.
Can I talk to several guys like the four Heirs?
Yes. You can match with several guys at once and text each one separately. Each has his own memory of you, his own relationship level and his own meetups. There is no shared group chat.
Is there magic on Yome?
Most guys live in present-day cities. A smaller group carries fantasy types, such as fae, vampire and werewolf, with hints of something otherworldly under a modern job. The romantasy page groups them.
Are there bully romance stories?
Yome keeps things on the rivalry side. Guys tagged enemies-to-lovers argue, compete and test you, like Julian Seo, Kieran and Cash. You can always push back, and the chemistry shifts with how you play.
What other books on this site match Zodiac Academy?
The Cruel Prince and Powerless both have a proud, royal rival. Den of Vipers has a group of dangerous men. The romantasy page lists every fantasy-leaning Yome guy, with his job, city and type.
Does he remember our fights?
Yes. Each guy keeps a memory of what you tell him, and you can see what he remembers about you. A rival who remembers the argument from last week makes the eventual truce feel earned.
Is Yome free to play?
Yome is free to start. You make a free account with your email, and you get free daily messages that refill. Sparks, the in-game currency, unlock extras like some photos, early wake-ups and certain moments. Daily tasks earn you more Sparks as you play.
