Angela Diamond is a sweet girl who refuses to let her abusive parents take her sparkle. She works hard, being the main breadwinner of her family since her parents decided to start living in delusions and drinking all day. Angela is starting to lose hope, seeing the effects of the abuse on her brother more and more everyday, when she gets a note that changes her life. Damon Merari is an illegal street racer with a fiery temper and a concerningly good ability to hold his alcohol. People adore him and he has many fans, but he's above them. He thinks they are pathetic. He has been living in the lap of luxury ever since he started racing, but not so much before then. His luxurious life style has made him arrogant, selfish, and desperate to feel something real. Angela's sweet spirit makes it impossible for Damon to shove her away like he does with everyone else. It's a new thing to him, having someone care for him, and it's unwelcome. His self destructive tendencies fail to work on her and eventually start to fade as he learns how to accept love and grow to love others. Damon helps Angela learn a valuable lesson of self respect and the need to set firm boundaries with those you love. He guides her through her hardest moments, while also struggling through his own problems. Angela prefers to stay quiet rather than fight people for what she wants, but through Damon she learns that sometimes it is important to stick up for what you believe.

Thanks to some dumb rule and my parents' constant nagging, I settle down with the girl of their choice. Irene's the type of girl I would never give a second glance to, the type I would deem average looking. And that's just not it. She's a chatter box who can't survive without physical affection. A complete opposite of me. I never had a need for a wife but with every innocent touch, every stupid smile, every word of hers my walls break down until I am left yearning for her with an intensity I can't even comprehend.

Evelyn Sable liked order, she craved it. And, for all intents and purposes, she was good at maintaining it. At least, that was what she thought. When Tristan Montgomery first walked through the library doors, she hadn't known that he wouldn't just be walking into the library, but into her life. What she really didn't know that with his presence, he would steal any semblance of order she had. What she last expected, though, was that while stealing her order... he'd end up stealing her heart. ✧✧✧ She cleared her throat. "How about we settle on not today?" "Hmm?" he murmured, looking into her hazel eyes, which she hoped appeared as earnest as she felt in that moment. "Sometimes, you're just not ready to be open about something personal, and that's okay. So, instead, tell me someday, just not today," she said. "Not Today?" he said as if testing the words, before a smile settled upon his face. "I like that."

"Let me take a look at the bullet wound." "No tesoro. I can do this myself," Vittore grumbled and I gave him incredulous look. "Don't start that bullshit with me Vittore. Remove your arm and let me help you or..." I trailed off, not able to say more. I was still in shock but I could do this. "Just... just let me help." "No." I glared at Vittore. "Why are you being so damn egotistic?! Let me help you! Do you know what it was like to find you like... and to..." I couldn't even get all the words out. "Let me help you. Please." Begging wasn't something I'd ever do but I just needed him to let me help him. "No-" "Why?!" I suddenly exploded. "Why won't you just let me help you?!" "Because I don't know how to handle it ok?!" Vittore suddenly exploded, his dark eyes glaring at me. "I don't know how to handle these... feelings. Fuck tesoro you drive me crazy! Don't you see that? You make me question everything I've ever known and... I can't..." I watched Vittore as his expression turned determined. "Fuck it." He leaned forward and pressed his lips on mine. * * * WARNING!
