"Soothe the devils in my head, love me to my death." In which a psychiatrist gets kidnapped by a serial killer, only to lose her mind.

(alternatively called: slow burn, second-hand embarrassment, and shenanigans) A girl made up of short fuses, clumsy feet and copious amounts of sarcasm has to team up with her irritatingly obnoxious neighbour in the name of love (also known as raging teenage hormones).

*Sequel to Crossing the Lines but can be read as a stand alone* Growing up, many people are taught there are lines. The line between ethics and morals, right and wrong, love and hate. People are raised to know the difference between the two, making them to be better citizens of society. Then there are others, us. The criminals, the elites, the heirs. Hell, some of us are all of the above. We grow up in a world where the lines are blurred. Besides, if we knew about them, what's keeping us from attempting to cross them? ----------------------- Aria Russo is the heiress to the Sicilian mafia. She may be the spitting image of her, once normal, mother but she grew up in her fathers world. A world where there is evil, bloodshed, and wrongdoings. Sadly, for Aria and her friends, this world also included Stonebridge. Stonebridge Academy is one of the top schools in the world. Not only do you have to be smart to get in, but rich as well. Stonebridge is the epitome of "Don't ask, don't tell", with students from all different backgrounds and all different means of money. Will Stonebridge Academy teach Aria about the lines in this world, or will it help her get better at crossing them?

There are many lines in this world we shouldn't cross: the line between right and wrong, the line between ethics and morals, the line between love and hate... There are many lines that are drawn out for a reason, but they're also drawn out thin, making it impossible to not slip to the other side at least once. ------------- Hannah Hale has never been one to cross the lines. She's never desired to. When her best friend Olivia forces her to sneak into a club one night, she's already crossed the line of right and wrong. Getting caught at the wrong place at just the right time throws Hannah into a whole new world that she never knew about. A world that causes her to cross every line possible. Ace Russo is the heir to the Sicilian Mafia. He's cold, evil, and ruthless. Most importantly, he has no problem crossing the lines. When a drug deal in America goes awry, he's forced to cross the line, and border, by kidnapping a witness and holding her hostage in Sicily. The question is, should lines ever be crossed?

ENGLISH VERSION! "You wouldn't shoot me." "And why is that? Because I'm a woman?" I raised an eyebrow. "Exactly, you..." Before he could finish the sentence, my finger press the trigger and the bullet flew out of the guns head. It hit him in the shoulder. In pain, he fell to the ground and trapped his injured shoulder. Blood began to soak into his beautiful suit. I walked over to him and bent down. "Don't underestimate a woman. Especially when she has a weapon and a motive. Your mother should have taught you better." I whispered in his ear.
