{𝘉𝘖𝘖𝘒 𝘛𝘏𝘙𝘌𝘌 𝘖𝘍 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘓𝘖𝘝𝘌𝘓𝘌𝘚𝘚 𝘛𝘙𝘐𝘓𝘖𝘎𝘠 } Hudson Tempest's an enigma nobody's capable of solving. Darkness has been moulded into his skin, running through him as easily as his blood. More than he's ever allowed anyone to see. Swept up into a world of sin and deviance, Hudson Tempest was broken as a boy and shattered several times over the course of his life. Made to be cruel and forced into a pool of self-destruction, a life that will only ruin him if it continues. Death has been the only thing in sight to him, for a long time. But how hard it is to save someone, who wants to let themselves drown. Val Emerson's the embodiment of light. A heart that outpours warmth like she was made to love, from the very moment she was born. The sunny side up sort of girl with an affinity for the sea, and smiles. When the cruelest of them all and the happiest of them all collide. When her hatred turns into a desperate desire to save the most broken of them all, far past salvation. When his hatred morphs into something he promised not to feel. Opposites. Dark, to light. Whole, and broken. Rivals, in all they do. Until somewhere along the way, they find themselves falling into each other's arms. Somehow, into each other's clashing hearts. <3

"You really thought you could outrun me?" He asked, his hot breath fanning all over my face. "At least I tried." I laughed but then stopped when I became aware of our close proximity. The wind started to blow through his hair gently as he cocked his head to the side. I swallowed at the sight. "Alexia." he breathed out, his eyes centered on my lips. His tongue darted out to lick his bottom lip and I froze, knowing what was coming. He tucked my hair behind my ear as his chest slowly pressed against mine. I closed my eyes in response.

Book 1 of the "Caged Hearts" Series Nikolai Orlov is everything she's been warned about: ruthless, untouchable, and a man who gets what he wants - no matter the cost. As the heir to the Orlov criminal empire, he's built his life on power, fear, and control. But there's one thing Nikolai can't control: his obsession with Nia Makeda Beumont. Nia is the daughter of the president of a small island nation - a sweet, innocent woman with a fiery soul. Her life is upended when she's forced into a arranged marriage with Nikolai to help save her family from financial ruin. At first, she thinks it's just another business deal - until she finds herself tangled in the dangerous world of mafia politics, and worse, tangled in Nikolai's obsessive grip. But as Nia grows closer to Nikolai, she uncovers a dark truth: His parents, the ruthless patriarchs of the Orlov family, hate her simply for the color of her skin. They treat her like dirt when Nikolai isn't around, spewing hatred and racism at every chance they get. When Nikolai finally learns the truth about how his parents have been treating her, his fury is unmatched - and his obsession grows into a need to protect Nia at all costs. Nikolai will do whatever it takes to shield her from the poison of his family, but as their relationship deepens, Nia begins to wonder: Is Nikolai truly her savior, or is he just as dangerous as the world he's built around her? What started as a fake relationship becomes a dangerous obsession, one that Nia may never escape from - no matter how hard she tries.

It was a concept that was written off from her vocabulary, and all she needed was power, knowledge, money, and sex. She had it all until he made sure they meant nothing if he was not in her life. Thunder and lightning cause goosebumps to proliferate all over her damp skin as the cold metal of the knife grazes her flesh. After each stroke, the knife leaves a trail of heat, contradicting and defying what her body should feel. Fear. The knife snips what's left of her thongs, the thin fabric pooling around her feet as sand-brown eyes sear into her grays, sending a rush of heat to her center. Her heart rioting against her ribcage didn't go unseen by her or him as his next words sent her body into an overstimulating ecstasy. "On Your Knees, Venus." Love shouldn't have crossed her mind at that point as she stood frozen yet shaking at his venereal act. Bolts of electricity fought their way through her body, and as the flash of lightning traced what should have been a monster, she instead saw a God. And there was no running from his or her feelings for him. The cold, rainy night couldn't overcast the intense love and lust she had for the man who was slowly gazing down at her nakedness.

❝Violet tell me to stop and I will ❞ the feeling of his soft lips igniting flames throughout my body, my lower half becoming warmer every second I felt the delicacy of his touch. "Enzo" I couldn't bring myself to say stop simply because I didn't want him to. I wanted his hands roaming over my body while he held my neck thrusting into me. The erection I feel on my thigh made my mind wonder off. Pinching my hip I moaned lowly when he hooked my legs around his waist. "That's not telling me to stop amore" removing my shirt over my head his lips latched onto my swollen nipples, my hands shot in the softness that was his black hair.
