Book Description: When Rose hears the shatter of glass in the middle of the night, she thinks it's just another break-in-until she sees who's standing in her living room. Lee, her childhood best friend who vanished without a trace years ago, is suddenly back... and he's holding a gun. But this isn't the boy she remembers. Lee isn't just on the run-he's the country's most wanted man. Once the leader of a criminal empire known as the Black Veil, Lee turned against his own to take them down. Now, with enemies closing in and nowhere left to hide, he shows up at Rose's door-the one person he swore to protect, and the only one he's ever truly trusted. As bullets fly and old secrets surface, Rose must decide: can she trust the man Lee has become? Or will loving him cost her everything? Caught between a past they can't escape and a future they're not sure they deserve, Rose and Lee must fight to survive-and to hold on to the truth, even when it shatters everything.

Elara Serenis has spent her whole life surrounded by luxury, power, and expectations. She has everything she could ever need-except the feeling that any of it matters. The people around her are cold, their affections transactional, and love has always felt like something distant, reserved for stories, not real life. Then she meets him, Ezra. He is different from anyone she has ever known. He doesn't treat her like she's fragile or untouchable. He challenges her, makes her laugh, makes her feel wanted in a way that isn't about her name or her wealth. With him, the world feels less suffocating, like maybe she isn't as alone as she thought. It's reckless, this thing between them. He doesn't belong in her world, and she knows it. But she doesn't care. He makes her believe in something more-something worth risking everything for. He promises her forever. He tells her they'll build a future together, one beyond the golden cage she's always known. And for the first time, she dares to believe in something more. But love is never simple. And forever is never guaranteed. Not in a world like theirs.

"Are you coming to bed firefly?" He says to me laying his hands over my waist joining me in looking over the city. "I want to look out for a little longer if that is alright?" I mumble hoping that he heard me anyways, I wasn't ready to walk into that bedroom, and I don't think I ever would be. "Of course, I'll be getting ready for bed, come in whenever you are ready." He says confidently and walks away leaving my waist cold something for which I am grateful. Especially when my mind burns with other more dangerous thoughts. The warmth that forever lingers in the air, never burning the skin, but always reminding about what is around us. I force air into my lungs feeling the unexpected warmth fill me. He stands in the room watching me even though he said he was getting ready for bed. He is worried about me, about me jumping. I have contemplated it I will admit, but he would stop me before I fell even two feet. I was stuck, and no one could save me. Not even myself, my fucking weak self. His presence is demanding no matter where we are, but right now I could sense everything about him, and I try to suppress the unwanted feelings that curl right under my skin. "Firefly? About done?" He calls out and I release my hand from the guard rail not realizing that as I looked at the lights that covered the shining city with the falling fire in the background that my subconscious was thinking about how nice it would be... how relieving it would be... to just fall. True freedom. I take a step back and wrap my hands together turning around to a fully clothed unchanged man and nod once. I could see the fear in his eyes that I would, he knows if he gave me the chance... I wasn't ready for this, but I had to survive. No matter what. Highest Ranks: #17 In Romance #5 in Soulmates
