She was crying and I held her face. Her eye lashes were wet with all the tears. "Jellybean? Listen to me," My voice gentle, holding both her hands. "Every part of me loves every piece of you."

One year after Colbert Hospital in the south of France failed to save a patient from a fatal stroke, strange and grotesque things began to plague the once-respected hospital. Murders and suicides succeeded each other in rapid succession, inexplicable and mysterious, with no solution ever found. The wards of the hospital seemed to be haunted by some malevolent force, killing patients, doctors, and nurses. As the body count mounted and the hospital's reputation disintegrated, founder Richard D. Colbert had no other option but to make the difficult decision to shut down the hospital permanently, its name forever tainted by what many perceived to be a sinister curse. Twenty years go by, and a young college student and photographer interested in abandoned, history-filled sites, read about Colbert Hospital and its disastrous past. Mysteriously and inexplicably drawn to the dead hospital, he convinces five of his friends to accompany him on a spring break trip to explore the long-abandoned complex. But what is supposed to be an adrenaline-inducing romp quickly devolves into a nightmare. Now trapped in Colbert Hospital, away from home, the group faces horrors beyond their wildest imagination.

❝Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new ❞ He writes songs that make millions feel butterflies . But when it comes to her, he can't write a damn thing that doesn't hurt. She is used to being a footnote, he is used to being the headline. Clara Bell was the quiet overachiever - the girl who hid behind perfect grades and classic books. Alex Turner was noise incarnate - chaos,spotlight and the rockstar everyone wanted a piece of. She only meant to work part-time at a library. He only meant to escape the chaos for a while. She never planned to be his muse. He never planned to be her downfall. Neither meant to find home in the wrong person. But now they're tangled in a story that sounds a lot like a love song - and hurts twice as much. Because some love stories aren't made for the spotlight. They are made to wreck you.

Running from hell isnʼt easy. Especially when someoneʼs dragging you back down into it. Belligerent, brash and always in shades of black, Freya is hardly a lady. Hidden away by her father, sheʼs lived a normal life despite being born into the dark waters of New Yorkʼs underworld. Heʼs cold, cruel and calculating, with a proclivity for destruction. Feared by even Made Men, Torren is the boss of the stateʼs most leachorous crime syndicate. Freya hates his crudity and possessiveness, but she canʼt deny the way her breath hitches at his rough touch, the deep timbre of his voice, and his dark, heated gaze. Torren hates her disobedience, her recklessness, and her chaos. To him, sheʼs only something to be tamed. And after he slips a ring on her hand, snatching away her future, she makes only one vow---to become his biggest torment.

Aubrey Wilson has the heart of an angel. As the type of person to always trust in others, she's admirable to peers. A total darling, but with a sadness that encases her heart. Anyone could shrink down in fright at the receiving end of Luke Taylor's infamous glare. Tall, muscular, dark-haired, and handsome, he's no stranger on or off the field. Not a kind stranger either. A total brooding asshole, but with a sadness that encases his heart. --- "You didn't have to hit him or anything," I lie my head on his broad, strong shoulder. "He shouldn't have touched you like that," he tucks a curl behind my ear. ~Strong Language~ ~Mild Violence~
