We were all sinners, each hiding something we were tempted by. None of us were perfect we all had dark thoughts, those forbidden desires we tried to bury out of fear of judgment. But Nova Faye Rose was different. She wasn't crushed by the weight of those judgments if anything the judgments seemed afraid of her. Even the devil himself might have hesitated in her presence. Nova was the kind of girl who turned sin into art. The rumors called her a saint's worst nightmare and a sinner's dream. Nova wasn't just a girl - she was temptation wrapped in a school uniform, a sex goddess who knew more than any prayer book could cleanse. So when Aries Emerson, the quiet, brilliant boy, caught her attention, she smiled like the devil himself had whispered in her ear. His days of innocence were numbered, and she would be the sin that dragged him to the edge of heaven and left him there begging.

[BOOK 1] What they have is messy, reckless, and impossible to walk away from🦋 ************* "I won't leave" I whisper, and he smiles, "I know, baby" he says softly, and my lips tug upwards into a smile. "You're the exception" he continued, his tone tender as he pressed a short, sweet kiss to my forehead. I didn't know it then, but I started falling in love with Finn Brookes, we were each other's exceptions. * * * Lily Garcia didn't come to university looking for love-especially not with someone like Finn Brooks. He's charming, infuriating, and a walking complication she doesn't need. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, there's something about him that feels like gravity, pulling her closer with every encounter. Beneath his cocky exterior, she senses the fractures he tries to hide-the same ones she's been running from her entire life. Finn's been through hell, and love isn't part of the plan. He's good at keeping his walls high, locking out anyone who might get too close. But then Lily shows up, and suddenly his carefully controlled life begins to unravel. She's everything he didn't know he was missing, and that scares him more than he's willing to admit. But with their pasts threatening to destroy what they could be, and old friends trying to drive a wedge between them, trust becomes their biggest hurdle. And when a new love interest steps into the picture, everything Lily and Finn thought they were building starts to fall apart. Fighting their demons was never supposed to include each other, but now they have to decide if the risk of heartbreak is worth the reward of finally letting someone in.
