The one who is always ahead of her. Denied the chance to prove herself, Sloane Sokolov is done waiting. She's ready to take what should have been hers all along. But one person stands in her way: Vaughn Kalashnik. The man she should despise more than anyone. He's calm where she's reckless, ice where she's fire, and yet, somehow, he's always there. In her shadows. In her chaos. In her thoughts where he doesn't belong. In a world built on power, vengeance, and secrets, one wrong move could cost them everything. Still, the deeper Sloane digs into her family's legacy, the more she finds herself turning to the very man she swore to hate. Will the man she despises be the one to save her, or the one who ruins her in the name of vengeance?

People who left and gave up on her. She has many titles ranging from The ugly child, The attention-seeker, The broken-hearted, The controlling one, The bitch. Lance Astor was probably someone whom she never expected to meet. In exchange for breaking his nose, he gives her a new title that sticks with her until her mind starts spinning. Pretty. Why does he call her pretty even though she doesn't feel like it? He calls her beautiful even though she feels far from it. Banks wants nothing to do with Lance because of how opposite they are, but the more she tries resisting him, the more he gets under her skin. The more she tries ignoring her feelings, the more he makes her feel. The more she tries hiding, the more he makes her feel alive.

She's a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes)

He never thought he'd get this interested in a girl who just moved into his house. Kennedy Kinsey, a bubbly and talkative girl, moves to New York to live with her dad's best friend after her parent's death. She never thought she would be this attracted to Jake Knight, her dad's best friend's son. While suffering from asthma, she's also probably the wildest and craziest person he's ever met with an obsession with knives and talking about murder. He hates that he can't stop thinking about her. He hates that he likes listening to her talk. He hates that he likes when she smiles. She never thought she'd ever have friends or escape her loneliness. He never thought he would be happy and see the light after his mom's death. Until both of them met each other. ❃ Contains sensitive topics and excessive swearing ❃
