BOOK 1 in the Drowning/Bully Standalone Series. WARNING: This book contains intense bullying, explicit scenes, triggering language, violence, and psychological content. "You need to call off this party," I boldly told my stepbrother in the kitchen. He cocked his head attractively, his thin eyes scrutinizing me. His upper lip curled up in that seductive habit that I had become familiar with. "And why should I do that?" he murmured. His eyes were come-to-bed-with-me stunning, inviting with me with that inescapable pull, and damn if I didn't wet my panties. Get it together, Madison, said my insidious voice. I almost complied with that command until Caden went on and said something that left me breathless before his egotistical smirk. "Will you be my snack tonight?" He hates you. Don't forget that. I was reminded by my subconscious. *** Caden always goes extreme to make my life a living hell since after our parents got married four years ago. Although I'm similar to my stepbrother-the only difference between us is: I am a surreptitious bully, and Caden's a blatant bully. I wonder how sharing the same apartment for our first year at Stanford University will turn out. Honestly? I'm not eager to find out. Step into an adventure of passion, forgiveness, and second chances in this compelling two-part saga. This is Caden and Madison's story.

Julia Goldstone is a girl from a small town where nothing ever happens. She has no family and an abusive boyfriend who she can't escape. Reed Eastwood is a cold blooded killer with no emotions. He is the king of the largest mafia in the world, ready for a loveless arranged marriage and refuses to show mercy to anyone. What happens when the two of them cross paths and everything changes? Julia is determined not to fall for the devil and Reed doesn't believe he is capable of love. Will they fall for one another in the complicated world of danger and lust? Or will they realise that the mafia king truly is 'heartless'? "Excuse me?" he said, slowly making his way back over to me. "I said that I'm not coming with you." I mumbled in a tone a lot less demanding. He held my chin between his fingers, just as Logan had earlier that night, but this mysterious stranger was a lot stronger. His scent filled my senses and I began to feel lightheaded. He inched his face closer to mine, forcing me to stare deeply into his eyes. The tension could have been cut with a knife. "It's cute that you think you have a choice sweetheart." he whispered, sending shivers down my spine. _______________ DISCLAIMERS: All of these ideas belong to me, don't steal them!
