Second book 🏒. Sol has built her life on movement, always moving forward, never lingering where memories might catch her. She wears confidence like armor and hides her uncertainty behind sarcasm and a fearless grin. She keeps her past locked away, somewhere even she doesn't like to visit and Noah was never supposed to be part of the equation. He's familiar and steady, and quietly magnetic in a way that sneaks up on you. Her best friend's brother. A constant presence that slowly becomes something else entirely. A pull she can't explain and a safety she never planned to crave. What begins as comfort sharpens into desire, into something dangerously close to love. When the past resurfaces and threatens to destroy the fragile equilibrium she has established, Sol must decide if she is brave enough to allow someone to truly see her. Noah isn't interested in half-hearted promises or temporary fixes. He wants to stay. He wants all of her, even the messy parts. But trust is fragile. And some wounds don't heal quietly.

It's no secret she's been spoiled growing up and showered with love and affection. She's seen what true love looks like, all thanks to her parents, so she knows her worth and to never settle for less. So, who's the lucky guy who understands her double life as a high school student by day and assassin by night and will steal her heart? 𝘌𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘺 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘥𝘰𝘰𝘳 . . . 𝘸𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘹𝘵 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳. 𝐋𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐨 has always known there was to be something more between him and his sister's best friend. He comes from the same background as he's the Castillo-Italian Mafia prince and the next second in command. One night, while he and Iridessa are out, he confesses his feelings because he would've never done it if he hadn't done it then. What he wasn't expecting was for her to feel the same. It isn't long before they start dating and experiencing the perfect young and teenage love. All is well until something happens that neither person was expecting. Can they work through it together, or will it be the reason they are torn apart?

She ran away from home with nothing but a broken heart and a car that barely made it. One fight, one night, one decision...and everything changed. Desperate for somewhere to stay, Avery answered an ad for a room and ended up moving in with Rhett...a tattooed, cold, pro hockey captain who thrives on control, discipline, and dominance both on and off the ice. Commitment isn't in his vocabulary. Neither are second chances. He's chaos in skates and trouble in leather jackets, sharp edges wrapped in muscle and attitude, and he makes it painfully clear that he doesn't want her in his space, in his routine, in his carefully controlled world. They clash from the start. Power against defiance. Fire against gasoline. Too similar. Too stubborn. Too damaged in different ways. She's soft, but not weak. A good girl who knows how to party, dance, and forget the world when the music gets loud enough. He's adrenaline and aggression, fueled by late-night games, bruised knuckles, and a hunger for control that doesn't turn off when the crowd goes home. Closed off. Possessive. Allergic to feelings. Living together becomes a dangerous game of boundaries, tension, and lingering looks that last a second too long. Every shared space feels like a challenge. Every accidental touch feels like a dare. Neither of them are willing to admit that the pull between them burns hotter than any fight on the ice...or that surrendering might be the one thing Rhett fears more than losing. But the past doesn't stay buried forever. Her mother returns to haunt her, reopening old wounds. And just when Avery starts to feel safe...just when it starts to feel real...Rhett does what he does best. He runs. Because falling is easy...but staying is the dangerous part.

''Tell me how it feels,'' he whispers. "Good," I gasp, my entire body trembling. Deeper. Harder. Perfect. Like we've been doing this for years. His hand finds my jaw, fingers firm as he tilts my head up, making me look at him. And that's it. Waves of heat zip to my toes as my nails scrape down his back. I don't think about what comes next -- him pulling his shirt on and leaving. I don't feel heartbroken when I imagine myself alone in here. It's casual, our intimacy. And it's too late to renegotiate. ***** When Fox hooks up with his new roommate at a masked club, he has no idea their fling is just the beginning. The woman he's living with is the same girl who shared candy with him under a playground slide. 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙨 𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙞𝙣 STANDALONE NOVEL *ANGSTY EMOTIONAL SLOW BURN *MEN YEARNING Copyright © 2024-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).
