Until one man decides he wants to change that. Fredrico Rossi, a.k.a the most infuriating man i've ever met. He's cocky, annoying, and just a fucking dickhead. Hatred is an understatement for what I feel for this man. I fucking loathe him. Everything this man does annoys the hell out of me. But when we're forced to work together, the hatred turns to something else. And before I know it, I find my walls that I spend years building up crumbling behind his touch. First book in the brutal series. This is a lost mafia princess/ enemies to lovers story. I hope you enjoy!

Evangeline Fray's life is a carefully curated act of perfection. A star student, a promising debater, and the daughter of a seemingly perfect family, she's always lived under the weight of expectations. But beneath the surface, the pressure is suffocating, and her only escape is the smoke of her cigarettes and the fleeting moments of rebellion she's stolen for herself. Then Declan Hunt enters her world-a brooding, unpredictable force with a painful past that mirrors her own struggles. When they're paired together for a history project, their rivalry sparks into an undeniable chemistry. As their relationship deepens, Evangeline is pulled into a world of wild nights, stolen moments, and the dark corners of Declan's troubled past, including the loss of his older brother, Sebastian, to addiction. But their connection comes at a price. Evangeline's addiction to nicotine worsens, and her life begins to unravel-her grades slip, her relationship with her best friend Austen fractures, and her family starts to notice the cracks. In a relationship that teeters between passion and destruction, Evangeline must decide how much she's willing to lose to finally break free from the chains of her own making. Will she find the strength to save herself before it's too late? *** 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫𝐲: Evangeline's story is one filtered through the lens of her pain and confusion. As you journey through her experiences, remember that she is not always a reliable narrator. Her perceptions may be clouded by her fears, addictions, and internal struggles. What you read may not always be the whole truth, but rather her version. 𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆! This book addresses substance abuse, mental health struggles, family dysfunction, violence, sexual moments, emotional abuse, reckless behaviour, abandonment, self-harm.

" I lunge forward at him hitting his groin with my knee then right between the eyes. As soon as I do, he crashes to the ground, out cold. I go for more, but a pair of arms snatch my waist lifting me up. I kick my legs and flail my arms to get closer but he is too strong. "Let go of me!" I demand. "Shut up." A low strong voice commands."Is he okay?" "He is fine." I grunt. Then the young adult wakes up, then scurries back away from me. "Sorry ma'- miss... " he says, making me angry again. I give him a cold stare. "I'm sorry." He repeats, standing to his feet. "Put. Me. Down." I demand again. With a huff he puts me down. I step forward with full intentions to punch him again but the man behind me takes my arm, holding me back. I jerk forward to get off his grip but he takes my other arm tightly. "Alright! I'm done!
