In the wake of an unthinkable tragedy that claimed the lives of both her parents, Rayne found herself thrown into the cold, harsh world of an orphanage. For months, she clung to the hope of finding a new family to call her own, she had a slither of hope that she had a second chance at life. When the day finally came that she was chosen for adoption, Rayne's heart bloomed. Her new family showered her with love and affection, granting her every wish and providing unwavering support. The bond she formed with her step-brother was instant and unbreakable, the two becoming inseparable from the moment they met. However, there was something different about her brother, a peculiar air of mystery that clung to him. He was a man of few words, fiercely protective of Rayne, and at times, seemingly consumed by his own thoughts. Rayne adored her brother, but his constant presence left her feeling stifled. It almost felt like he didn't want her to live, and the only way he was happy is if she was close to him. Rayne was a beacon of innocence and beauty, her intelligence as captivating as her eyes. Yet, beneath the surface of her brother's deafening silence, lurked a dangerous and volatile nature. His unpredictability and possessiveness were whispered warnings to those who dared cross his path, for they knew that to harm Rayne would mean facing the wrath of a man who would stop at nothing to protect her. He didn't want her with anyone else, he made it clear on the very first day he saw her. She was his. ___ 🏆 #1 Maturethemes 🏆 #1 Stepbrother 🏆 #1 Jealously 🏆 #5 Stepsister 🏆 #21 Dark Romance ___ DARK ROMANCE MATURE/EXPLICIT CONTENT

First book 🏒. Starting college was supposed to be Violet Vale's escape plan. New country. New city. New campus. And then there's Ethan Maddox-tattoos inked like warnings, that infuriating smirk, and a six-foot-five presence that fills every room like he owns it. Her brother's best friend. Her worst enemy. And now? Her accidental shadow at Northbridge University. Violet's spent years trading insults and eye-rolls with Ethan, ever since he became an honorary part of her family. But there's nothing brotherly about the way he looks at her now-or the way her pulse reacts when he calls her Vi like it's some kind of challenge. He's cocky. Infuriating. One year older. And the only person on campus who makes her feel anything at all. They're not friends. Definitely not something more. But the line between hate and something far messier is starting to blur. And when hearts get tangled... Someone's going to fall. Warning: May contain profanity and sexual content.

"I'm not going to hurt you." He took his hands off my waist and placed them on either side of my head. "I could never hurt you." He lowered his face into my neck. His breath on my neck sent electricity down my spine. Being flustered, my breathing became heavier. But not in the same way as when I freak out. It's in a way I've never felt before. The same feeling from when I first met him came back. The tingling in my core. His long finger tucked a piece of my blonde hair behind my ear. "Anyone ever tell you your really short?" He whispered. "Anyone ever tell you your really tall?" I breathed out, pinning my hands below me. He moved his face even closer to mine if that's even possible. His lips grazed against my jawline. My eyes brows furrowed from how good it felt. "Wha- what are you doing?" I breathed heavily. "What I've been wanting to do since the second I saw you." He grabbed my face and slammed his lips into mine.

He waited, perhaps how the moon waited for the sun. And I chose to ask more of it-of the ceaseless hope we held in our palms. "Give me tonight, please." "You've got tonight." It was an effortless sentence. A string of words spelling assurance, settling at the far-bottom of my chest. But only when I looked up did I realize that his eyes held the words: you've got my tomorrows, too. *** No matter how much she runs, Laura is stuck in an endless loop of her past.
