Aiden & Rose spinoff/separate book is available on my second account @marcellacrist ! Two friend groups rule the school: one built on loyalty, trust, and carefully protected reputations. The other thrives on manipulation, obsession, recklessness, and ruin. For years, they've coexisted under unspoken rules. Until senior year. Now, secrets don't stay buried. Hearts don't just break, they shatter. Friendships rot from the inside out, and love turns dangerously addictive. Every glance feels like a threat. Every touch becomes a weapon. And the line between hate and obsession disappears completely. As rivalries ignite and tensions explode, the campus becomes a battlefield of power plays, betrayal, revenge, and toxic desire. No one escapes untouched. Not when everyone has something to lose. Not when certain people would burn the entire world down just to possess what they want. 365 days of chaos. 365 days of temptation. 365 days until graduation. What started as a rivalry becomes a brutal war for dominance, survival, and obsession-one that will leave blood on their hands and scars they'll carry forever. Welcome to the ultimate war of the elite. Winner takes all. Loser belongs to the victor.

After a failed attempt at a relationship, I try to make it on my own. However, I end up with a new neighbor who exudes charm, danger, and sexual energy as if it's a job. To make matters worse, I find myself semi-kidnapped by the same dangerous, foul-mouthed, rude neighbor who turns out to be a part of the Italian Mafia. Now, I'm stuck riding shotgun while being chased by gun-wielding maniacs on our way to someplace "safe." I'm beginning to think this is my new reality. *Trigger Warning* Graphic violence, explicit mature scenes, and non-consensual touching (not from the main love interest).

"You want to act reckless? Fine. But don't think for a second you're not being watched. This city is full of men who'd love to carve a message into you just to make a point." "And what message would you carve?" I whispered. He reached out. Brushed the back of his knuckles down my jaw, rough and slow. "Mine." It wasn't sweet. It wasn't romantic. It was a brand. And then he dropped his hand. "You have ten minutes to get out of here before I make a fucking scene." ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ Massimo Bianchi is ruthless, the kind of man who leaves blood in his wake and never looks back. At 29, he's the trusted enforcer for one of the most feared mafia bosses in America - my father, Lorenzo DeLuca, the ghost I never knew but can never escape. I, Francesca DeLuca, have spent my life in the shadows of wealth, too blind to see the truth behind my family's fortune. But when I confront the mysterious man who's been following me, I'm thrown into a world of blood and betrayal, where loyalty is bought and sold like a commodity. Massimo is everything I should fear - cold, dangerous, and bound by an oath to my father. But there's something in the way he looks at me, a dark hunger he refuses to acknowledge. I should hate him, push him away, but the deeper I fall into my family's twisted legacy, the harder it is to resist the pull. But loving a man like Massimo is a risk, and in our world, mistakes are paid for in blood. So the question is - will I be his downfall, or will he be mine?

"Don't forget who had you on your knees, Zinovia," Sevan said, taking a long sip of her drink. Which I promptly snatched from her hand as soon as she lowered the glass from her mouth. "Don't forget all the power I held too," I said to her, not once glancing away from her darkened stare, "The mess I made of you milaya..." I trailed off, tilting my head as I openly analyzed her face, "It was pathetic really." Sevan smiled almost sadistically in response, "The mess you made of me?" she repeated the words in full amusement, "I'm still standing.
