A 90's Friday Night Lights meets Fifty Shades, only the town is the sadomasochist and the two young lovers their pawns. July Elizabeth Edwards is stuck in the existence her pretentious, rural East Texas town has allotted her. A shift in social status junior year provokes unlikely ride or die friendships, others' secrets she's not allowed to tell, and an unexpected crush on the ambitious Adrian Reed. The result is far more insatiable than anyone anticipated. July has known and competed with Adrian her entire life. He was conceited and arrogant. She was treading water to survive Pure Pines High. When circumstances strip them of cheerleading and football, the odds throw a replacement neither of them expects, and something the halls of Pure Pines High are certain to reject. One touch, an out of ordinary lingering stare, and something ignites that won't die down, only does it count if it's a secret? How long will it stay behind closed doors? When love is denied, lust becomes unapologetic. Set figuratively to a Soundtrack of Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Counting Crows, R.E.M., The Cranberries and Radiohead. #1- lusttolove TRIGGERS: sexual situations, eating disorder, rape, drugs

DISCLAIMER: Sample ONLY. The book will be available for purchase on AMAZON from January 22nd. Camilla has lived and worked all her life in the manor with her mother, the housekeeper. After her death, her boss, the Duchess Hawthorne, became the closest she has ever had to family-until she passed away, too, leaving nothing but uncertainty in her future. The manor is inherited by the duchess' nephew, the only blood-related member eligible to take over the entire estate. To Vincent Hawthorne, this is nothing but some extra wealth and the perfect reason to move out from under his mother's controlling personality. To Camilla, the change means fear. The inherent fear that these newcomers will get rid of her and deprive her of the only thing she has ever known as home. But when the hot, sexy bachelor duke claims his inheritance, none of them was expecting the late noblewoman to ensure Camilla's place in the manor...and in the duke's life. Tension and attraction nest within them, bringing the new boss and his employee impossibly closer and creating love where it shouldn't. But the upper crust has always been rotten from the inside, and the fragility of their feelings may not survive scot-free. Is Hawthorne Mansion hiding darker secrets than expected? Or will Vincent's duties stay in the way of their happiness?

«Ariel, Ariel, Ariel...ti hanno detto che nuotare in acque infestate da squali non è saggio?» Eve Lawrence ha diciassette anni, un carattere forte e tutto quello che una ragazza vorrebbe: un fidanzato perfetto, amiche che le vogliono bene e una vita straordinaria a New York. Costretta a trasferirsi nella sonnolenta e misteriosa Springdale, una cittadina dove i segreti pesano più delle parole, capisce subito che nulla sarà più come prima. Il primo giorno di scuola, Eve si imbatte in Jared Myers che con i suoi innumerevoli tatuaggi, la giacca di pelle, la sua arroganza e il mistero che celano i suoi comportamenti, non riesce a passare indifferente agli occhi di Eve. Soprattutto dopo che viene a scoprire che è appena stato rilasciato dagli arresti domiciliari insieme ai suoi due amici: Dylan e Tyler. In quel paesino, però, nessuno sembra voler parlare del passato, specialmente di quella notte in cui, il North Side, fu raso al suolo. Il silenzio è quasi opprimente, e ogni studente sembra nascondere qualcosa. Tra segreti che si intrecciano, misteri irrisolti, feste sfrenate, conflitti accesi con Jared, e un'attrazione tanto proibita quanto irresistibile, Eve si troverà a scavare sempre più a fondo in una verità che tutti cercano di tenere nascosta. Ma è pronta a conoscere la verità? ⚠️[PRESENTI SCENE ESPLICITE, LINGUAGGIO VOLGARE E ATTI VIOLENTI]⚠️ Inizio storia: 5 Aprile 2022⚜️ Fine storia: 1 Ottobre 2023⚜️

Talvolta lo siamo anche della nostra.» Bronx, 2023. Ci troviamo nel quartiere più malfamato di New York, dove la vita gioca con la morte ogni giorno. Proprio qui, in un palazzo malridotto che affaccia su un parco ormai abbandonato, abitano i Miller. Una famiglia disagiata, composta soltanto da 4 ragazzi. Jake, Dean, Will e Sky. La loro vita non è mai stata semplice e l'abbandono dei loro genitori non ha fatto altro che peggiorare quella che era la loro condizione. Ma nonostante le difficoltà che devono affrontare ogni giorno, tra spese, mutui da pagare e debiti di ogni tipo, hanno trovato da soli finalmente un equilibrio. Fino a quando loro non sono tornati. I Raiders. Il gruppo più temuto del Bronx. Anche loro sono quattro, uno più scaltro e crudele dell'altro. Non hanno limiti. Trevor De Marco, Kai Clinton, Alexander Morrison e Tom Philips. Si scaglieranno immediatamente contro i Miller e il loro gruppo, in cerca di guai e divertimento. Si ritroveranno, però, ben presto a rischiare grosso anche loro. Vecchi rancori, vendette, amori perduti, pericoli, nuove sfide da affrontare e sempre nuovi problemi da risolvere. Niente è come sembra. E anche il migliore tra tutti in realtà ha dei segreti. Questo è Limitless. ‼️Si consiglia la lettura ad un pubblico consapevole. Troverete abusi (verbali e fisici), scene di violenza, DCA, droga, linguaggio volgare e esplicito, scene di sesso e tutto ciò c'è di sbagliato e immorale al mondo. SENZA LIMITI.

"I've never...ever in my whole fucking life let someone in, but you have managed to infiltrate me in every sense of the word. I hate more than anything that you are my weakness, Rose, but you are and I need you to realize that and admit that I am the same to you before I lose my fucking mind." His eyes squinted with tear of frustration and desperation. Why did I have the urge to wipe them away as one slid down his cheek?

"I want to defile you, destroy you, corrupt you in the most sinfully beautiful way. Break you until you're completely mine." "And then?" "Then I'll piece you back together, of course." He took another step in her direction, closing the distance between them. "Love can be holy." He said but the look in his eyes promised anything but. "It can be kind and gentle. It can be the flutter inside your chest when you feel someone touch you, the blush staining your cheeks when someone brushes his knuckles over them." To prove his point further, he took his knuckles and brushed them over her sharp jawline, all the way to her lightly dusted cheeks and sharp cheekbones. "However, love can also be vile. Dark and all-consuming. The kind of love that makes you want to fall to your knees and let it destroy you." He let his palm rest on her soft skin and felt the warmth she provided so carelessly travel to him. "That's all I can offer you." Nathaniel Russ is a man devoid of passion. Cold, stern, a tragedy with skin. A wreckage just seconds before the crash. A writer. He spends countless hours teaching philosophy at the local university, waiting for something to make the words crawl out of him with the same vigorous appetite they once did. And he finds it, at the most unexpected moment. Guinevere Westbrook is a woman haunted by the sins of her past. And she just happens to be the muse he had been waiting for, even though she refuses to accept it. So, he orchestrates a game meant for two. A game. That's all it was. Until it wasn't.

BOOK TWO OF THE BLACK SERIES *CANNOT be read as a stand-alone* -- "I mean, let's face it, Hayden," Casey said with a humourless laugh, looking away from me and out at the city of white lights, "you don't want me. You want the thought that you managed to get with me - all of your friends are expecting it, my friends and family are expecting it to happen... it's not long before you wanting me changes and you see how messed up I really am." My eyes narrowed and I turned to face her, grabbing her by the jaw so I was staring into her dark eyes. Casey's breath hitched in her throat and she chewed on her lip, tears gathered in her eyes as our eyes met. "I don't give a flying fuck about what they want to hear or what they expect to happen between us, Casey," I told her, wiping a stray tear away. I smiled when she sniffled. "Stop thinking so much about what other people do and don't expect, alright? I damn well know how insane your family is but I also know how much better you are from them, and it's the good in you that makes me fall deeper with every date we go on." When I cupped her cheek with one hand, Casey's alarmed eyes relaxed and she slowly leaned into my touch, sighing quietly. I pressed my forehead to hers, smiling softly when she tried moving forward for our lips to meet. I pulled away last second, rubbing her bottom lip with my thumb. lol "I'm all yours, baby," I whispered, finally pressing our lips together.
