Some stories don't begin with love-they begin with ruin. A shattered boy who learned to survive by being pretty. A girl they all overlooked... except the one who needed her most. And the man waiting in the dark, holding the door to freedom... or something far more dangerous. This isn't a fairytale. This is a reckoning. In a place where silence was holy, he learned to flirt his way out of pain and bleed glitter to survive. But when his dove came-curious, full of softness and strength-he tasted something like hope. Freedom would always wear her face. But what happens after the break? When obsession masquerades as devotion? When pretty things turn sharp? Because he knows his love is a little too Crazy, a little too wild, too consuming. And maybe she was never meant for the kind of craving that lives in his shadow. And yet... he can't let go. Not of her. Not of the man who sees his darkest corners and doesn't flinch. Three lives. Tangled pasts. One story drenched in trauma, obsession, and a love that might just burn everything down to be born.

In the gritty underworld of organized crime, where darkness reigns and secrets fester, one woman's extraordinary journey from a troubled past to a hauntingly complex love story unfolds. Meet Ginira, a survivor with a past marred by the shadows of her father's sinister choices and her own rugged life as a stripper. She's a woman who has known heartache, fear, and uncertainty at every turn. But when Ginira's life takes an unexpected twist, her world collides with that of the enigmatic and feared Irish mafia figure, Blaine Murphy. Blaine is a man cloaked in secrets, whose very presence sends shivers down the spines of those who cross his path. His dark and mysterious aura is a testament to the ruthless world he inhabits, and few dare to challenge him. As Ginira becomes entangled in Blaine's web of intrigue, she discovers a man unlike any other she has known. Blaine holds a devastating secret, one that renders him immune to pain, both physical and emotional. His abilities, rooted in the shadows of his past, draw Ginira to him like a moth to a flame. But as she unravels the enigma of Blaine Murphy, she also confronts her own past, including the haunting legacy of her clinically insane father. In the heart of this seductive and perilous world, where love and danger entwine, Ginira and Blaine must navigate a treacherous path. They will confront their own vulnerabilities, face unimaginable threats, and reveal the darkest corners of their souls. Blaine thinks Ginira's weird and Ginira thinks that Blaine is a fat ass. ;) 🏅#5 in BWWM 11/10/2023

I opened my mouth maybe to say it was okay, maybe to ask something but the words died when he suddenly leaned across the console, cupping my face between his large, calloused hands. "I missed you," he murmured, almost like he hated admitting it. Then his mouth crashed onto mine. I gasped, his lips fierce and claiming, his body crowding into mine as if he needed to consume me. His kiss wasn't soft it was hungry, demanding everything I had to give. . . . Issa Andrews is beyond excited to start her first semester at Redwood University.

Gisela Gavino never imagined that accepting a position as a private nurse would lead her straight into the home of Lucien Dela Lucchese; a man powerful enough to make governments nervous and enemies disappear. She was hired to monitor his recovery. She wasn't supposed to witness a murder. Now she knows too much. He should silence her. She should run. Instead, every step she takes only pulls her deeper into his world, where loyalty is bought with blood, secrets are worth killing for, and the man she fears most becomes the one she can't bear to leave.

Born into slavery, Lena Wells escapes in search of freedom-but instead finds a Union camp overflowing with runaways, soldiers, and the man whose gaze she can't seem to forget. What begins as stolen glances soon becomes forbidden touches and passionate, secret kisses. But war has a way of claiming everything, and when Julian is called back to his regiment, Lena is forced to let him go. Four years later, Lena has built a fragile new life in Philadelphia-a seamstress by day and a devoted mother by night, determined to protect the child who carries the face of the man she lost. Julian Dennis, wounded and discharged, is living in the same city rebuilding a life that no longer feels like his own. When a chance assignment brings Lena into his home that he shares with his mother-who has hired her to sew a few dresses-the past collides violently with the present. One look at Lena's little girl sends Julian spiraling. She looks like him. She acts like him. And the timing is undeniable. Yet Lena insists the child isn't his. Now Julian is torn between hope and heartache, while Lena clings to the truth she's carried alone for years. As long-buried emotions resurface and new wounds open, both must confront not only the ghosts of the war, but the powerful forces of society, race, loyalty, and love that threaten to keep them apart. Because sometimes the war doesn't end on the battlefield- Sometimes it finds you again, exactly where you're trying to start over.
