When she demands that she attends a University two hundred miles away from her home, her father only has one exception; a bodyguard. Elio is dedicated to his career to honour his late sister, but when he owes a favour to an ex-mafia boss, he takes body-guarding to a completely new level. Isabella is reckless and likes to push her bodyguards limits. Elio has zero patience and a desire to punish his client. When things start to get heated and unexpected feelings get in the way, their forbidden relationship becomes a distraction when Isabella's life is on the line. Elio is desperate to not let down another important woman in his life. But he can't save everyone, including his own bleeding heart.

Alex Caldwell is the heir to the most powerful family in Cursed City(where a secret society holds sway). She's used to people seeking her attention, bending over backward to please her, and offering her anything she wants. Ivory has never been that lucky. Shy and guarded, she carries a family name that brings her nothing but trouble and hate. She's the last surviving member of the most hated criminal family in the city. The family that terrorized Cursed City for generations, until Alex's mother destroyed them and left only one little girl alive. Ivory. Their families have been blood enemies for generations, locked in a cycle of killing that never seems to end. But Alex knows nothing about Ivory's connection to the enemies when, one evening, she takes her aunt's old motorcycle and rides toward a private stretch of shore, heading for a place that means something to her. She never makes it there. Instead, her attention is caught by a mysterious girl sitting alone on the shore, staring out at the ocean. One look is enough for Alex to realize that meeting her will change everything. For the first time in her life, Alex falls in love. With the one person she was never supposed to get close to. But when Alex wants something, she always gets it. No matter who disagrees. Even if that someone is Ivory herself. ================ This book is a spin-off of "She's the danger I crave to taste," but it's a completely standalone story. Alex is intersex ================ Be careful this story contains: Profanity Smut Violence
