Julius Santo was a name that had every human's skin crawling. Most people know of him due to the lethal Mafia he leads, his silver eyes that have watched countless souls fade away, or the sinister scar that crosses his brow. But for Hazel Alexis, Julius Santo was a man of kindness. Someone who was willing to listen to her vent, converse with her, or simply be in her company. Julius was a saviour to Hazel. A hero who guarded, supported, and kept her safe. Hazel Alexis is an innocent, quite oblivious, nineteen-year-old woman. She works as a nurse in a small health clinic, aiming to earn enough money to leave her toxic household, and also spends her weekdays studying at her local college. As her new friendship with Julius evolves, she can't help but fight the overwhelming feelings that develop between them. Obtaining a crush on your best friend could never end well, could it? Every day, the simple things he does drive her deeper into the obsessional crush she has with him. But the hidden truth that remains between the two was the undeniable reality of how their end could possibly be. The mixture of his secret, her obliviousness, and the ultimate reality of it all was bound to cause chaos. What happens when Hazel discovers Julius Santo's true identity? ••• Best Ranks #4 Friendstolovers - March 2022 #1 GrumpyxSunshine - May 2022 #8 Chicklit - May 2022

This Story is about Thomas Shelby getting word about a similar Scottish gang planning g on expanding down south. Of course he didn't like the sound of that so he set up a plan to pick at his enemy's weaknesses, the only issue is that it involves kidnapping seven 'children'.

Birmingham, 1925. Les affaires Shelby fleurissent, la famille est plus riche que jamais. Après quelques épreuves de la vie [cf. à peu près n'importe quelle tragédie qu'ils ont vécu dans la série], la vie semble reprendre son cours [c-à-d. personne n'est mort depuis plus de 3 mois].

Pour Émeris Rosemary, « se sentir chez soit » n'est pas un lieu mais des personnes : les Pogues. Dans les Outer Banks, on est soit de ceux qui possèdent deux maisons, soit deux travails. Émeris, elle, fait partie de la classe populaire depuis toujours et n'est jamais plus heureuse que lorsqu'elle vit parmi les Pogues. Cependant lorsque sa mère part vivre avec un des hommes les plus fortunés de l'Ile, elle se retrouve forcée à laisser une partie d'elle-même chez les Kooks - la classe privilégiée des Outer Banks -. Elle déteste tout chez eux : leur style de vie, leur arrogance et surtout Rafe Cameron, le plus Kook de tous les Kooks qui se trouve être son voisin. Et pourtant, la jeune fille se doit désormais de les côtoyer pour assurer la sécurité de son père et de ses amis. Mais ne dit-on pas qu'entre l'amour et la haine il n'y a qu'un pas ?

《Ero la sfida che non riusciva a vincere, il rompicapo a cui non trovava soluzione, l'oggetto di un desiderio che non sarebbe sfumato. Lei non poteva avermi e nulla al mondo si desidera più di ciò che non si può ottenere.》 Un punto di vista completamente maschile, per un dark romance spicy autoconclusivo. Deciso a fuggire dall'inferno che sta vivendo, Lucas fa ritorno a Braintree. Anni di violenza e solitudine l'hanno plasmato trasformandolo in qualcuno di ben diverso dal bad boy che tutti scorgono in lui. Oltre alle ferite, rimaste indelebili nella sua mente e sul suo corpo, porta con sé uno scandalo che sembra essersi già diffuso anche nella sua città natale. Adesso, con la paura che tutto gli venga nuovamente strappato via, è pronto ad affrontare i rimpianti che si era lasciato alle spalle, ma soprattutto ad affrontare lei: la ragazza che non ha mai abbandonato la sua testa. Quella bambina dagli occhi d'ambra che anni prima gli aveva insegnato a vedere l'inferno sotto un'altra luce, e che ora, abbracciata a suo fratello, sembra non desideri altro che liberarsi di lui.

In libreria per HarperCollins 🪐 «Mi farai passare le pene dell'inferno, ma come posso pensare di rinunciare a tutto ciò?» «Non ti ho chiesto di rinunciare. Ti ho chiesto di non darmi ordini, perché non li eseguirei.» Quando Alexis mette piede nella caotica New York, porta con sé una valigia piena di speranze, l'unica cosa che desidera, è di continuare a placare l'adrenalina che le brucia dentro e, con sé, anche il doloroso ricordo di quel passato che pensa non le appartenga più. Quello che però Alexis ancora non sa, è che si ritroverà ben presto a fare i conti con la sua vecchia vita, finendo in situazioni che, inevitabilmente, ricominceranno ad alimentare quella piccola fiamma ancora presente in lei. A quel punto, però, le rimarrà solo da scegliere la strada per il futuro: lasciarsi trasportare dall'adrenalina o sopprimere l'irrefrenabile voglia di tornare a vivere? Due destini inconsapevolmente uniti da sempre e, un passato così simile, da rendere entrambi fin troppo complici. ••• 𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐘 || 𝑆𝑇𝐸𝐿𝐿𝐸 𝐵𝐼𝑁𝐴𝑅𝐼𝐸 || 𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑖 1 𝑒 2 • 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤/𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲 • ©2020 ✨ In tutte le librerie fisiche e store online dal 25 febbraio 2025 per HarperCollins Italia ✨ CONTENT WARNING!
