We've all heard the tales of good and bad, the tales of innocent deceit and her hero, the tales that despite their nature, show us the beauty in contrast. But it's the tales of pure evil that get swept under the rug. The tales of deception, where cruelty is rewarded. The tales that have you questioning who the real villain of the story is. There's a simple philosophy to most thing in life; two wrongs 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 make a right. So what ensues when you put two of the worst kinds of people together? Loyalties transfer, lines blur, and hatred ignites complete chaos. She's cunning. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴. She's dangerous. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴. She's evil. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦. Or so that's what we're told.

When their worlds collide at Milan University, sparks fly, egos clash, and a slow-burning attraction forms-one that neither of them can resist. "Oh. It's you." I blink. "Yeah. It's me. Come on, let's go." "No." She shakes her head, the movement a little too sharp, sending her braid sliding over her shoulder. "I don't want to go. I'm having fun." "Bambi," I sigh, stepping closer, lowering my voice. "You can barely sit upright." Her eyes narrow. "Don't call me that." Matteo crouches down beside her, voice calm. "Rosalie, hey. It's late, okay? Let's get you home." "I am home." She gestures vaguely at the kitchen cabinets. "See? There's... food. Probably." Kika snorts. I shoot her a glare that shuts her up instantly. Matteo's hand hovers near Rosalie's arm. "Come on, piccola. Please. You're going to hate yourself in the morning." She stares at him for a second, like she's trying to focus. Then her voice softens. "You sound like him." Matteo freezes. Just for a second - but I notice it. The air changes. Before I can ask, Rosalie sways, the cup slipping from her fingers and splashing onto the tiles. I sigh. "Alright. Party's over." She glares up at me. "Don't boss me around." "Then stop acting like a toddler," I shoot back, crouching to her level. "You're not staying here." "Maybe I want to stay here." Enemies. Temptation. Desire. And a love that could either save them or destroy them. -ON HOLD-

Just-listen to me." "No! You broke into my house, you've got knives and guns-do you know how this looks?!" "I don't even know you! And now you're standing here acting like-like some madman and expecting me to-" "To trust me," "Aurelia, I need you to trust me. Even if you don't understand why. Even if you think I'm a bastard for it. Just-don't push me away right now." "You're not making any sense," "Why should I trust you when you won't tell me anything?" "Because I've never lied to you."

BOOK 1 OF THE BRUISED HEARTS SERIES "Help, I have done it again, I have been here many times before."- Breathe me by Sia Some loves hurt. Some loves scar.

Every fight, every stolen moment, every heartbeat threatens to break them both. But when the past won't let go, sometimes the only way to move forward... is to set yourself on fire. "I think you're going to have to ask me again," I murmured, tilting my chin up. "But like, really nicely this time." Theo blinked. "You're serious?" "Deadly." A second passed. Then another. I watched the way his tongue ran along the inside of his cheek, watched his hand flex like he was trying not to grab me too fast, too rough. And then, softer now-different-he said, "Rory." Just my name, but it held more weight than anything else. "Please, baby. Let me kiss you." his storm, her shelter.

BOOK 2 OF THE BRUISED HEARTS SERIES "I'm staring at the mirror, Wondering who that is, I don't like what I see, But I can't look away." "All these voices in my head, Telling me I'm not enough."

But when their worlds collide, sparks fly, boundaries blur, and everything they thought they knew about each other is tested. Can they risk it all for a love worth holding onto, or will fear make them walk away? I hate how small I sound when I ask, "Did I do something wrong?" Enzo flinches. Visibly. Then shakes his head. "No. God, no. It's not you." He runs a hand through his hair, breath steaming in the late afternoon chill. For a second, I think he might just leave. But then he turns back to me, jaw tight, voice low. "I just... I needed space." "From me?" His gaze falters. And that's all the answer I need. "But why?" "I can't-" he starts, then stops, exhaling like the words hurt. "I can't do this anymore. Us." My heart stutters. "What do you mean 'us'? There is no us. We're just-" "Friends," he finishes flatly. My mouth dries. He looks away, jaw clenched so hard I can see the muscle twitch. "That's the problem, isn't it?" I blink, confused. "What are you trying to say?" "I'm saying..." He breathes in, fists curling. "I feel things, Tilly. Things I shouldn't." her light, his anchor

Every secret threatens to unravel, every glance pulls them closer, and some fires aren't meant to be tamed. In a game of lies, obsession, and forbidden attraction, one thing is certain: nothing-and no one-will ever be the same. "What the hell are you doing?" I snapped, too shocked to be anything but loud. He looked up, completely unapologetic, holding a delicate black bra like it was some kind of prize. "Didn't know you wore stuff like this, Princess," he said with that maddening smirk. My face flushed hot. "Put that down." He held it up higher, twirling it on his finger like a toy. "Cute. Lacy. Didn't think you had it in you." "Put. It. Down." I stepped forward and snatched it out of his hand, tossing it back in the drawer and slamming it shut. Kai leaned back against the inside of the wardrobe, watching me with a maddening glint in his eye. "You're fun when you're flustered." I crossed my arms. "You're dead if you ever mention this again." He grinned. "Cross my heart." Set in England, 2005
