Underneath a sky scattered with stars, there's a story waiting to be told-a story of love, loss, and the strength it takes to find oneself. Julia didn't expect her world to shift when she opened the doors of her mother's flower shop one ordinary morning. Harry didn't expect to find solace in a small Italian town, far from the flashing lights of fame. But life has a way of bringing people together when they need it most, even if the journey is messy, complicated, and anything but perfect. This is a tale of finding beauty in the broken pieces, of daring to chase dreams, and of love that feels as vast and untouchable as the stars. Welcome to their story. COVER BY MY FAV: @LIVVSSTARS

SEQUEL TO DUPLICITY. Complicity- to be involved with others in illegal activity or wrongdoing. After sacrificing herself for Harry's freedom, Aven Brooks is no longer the innocent photographer with big dreams and a bigger heart. Now under the notorious control of Malikai, she becomes brainwashed into being the perfect asset for his organized crime. Harry, a fugitive, spends his days trying to find his angel and reap her out the path he once walked. When that stroke of luck comes his way, he smacks into the harsh reality to what she's actually become. Needless to say, she's no longer an angel.

Spain is beautiful, in the kind of way that makes you feel like you're being watched. Like the sun is staring straight at you, waiting to see if you're going to burn or just go blind from the brightness. The streets always smell like oranges and smoke, like something sweet that's about to turn bitter. I grew up with my hands in both. There are two versions of life here: the one people pretend is real and the one I actually live in. I wasn't raised on fairytales. I was raised on blood, guns, and my father's voice echoing down the hallways at three a.m., sharp and cold like the barrel of a pistol pressed to your ribs. Being the daughter of a mafia boss is nothing like the movies. There's no glittering ballroom. No dramatic violins when someone gets shot. There's just business. And fear. And silence. Lots of silence.

"As I reach the front door I can't help the same question swimming around in my mind, what could possibly be on all of those tapes?" ----- Preview: "You wanna try and be my medicine Abby?" he asks with a deep testing tone, keeping his voice quiet. "I can try" I breathe out as I gulp when his grip tightens "Try me" His hand slides up my throat, his long fingers wrapping tight around my jaw "That's what you really want?" I nod, as I sigh out a shallow yes, and I see every muscle in his body tense, as he wets his lips; hoarsely murmuring his next sentence like its his last try at making me change my mind. "I'm dangerous Abby, this is your last chance, tried to warn you" My stomach twists and knots, as I use every ounce of bravery I have. "Prove it then" ----- Book Started : DEC 2018 - COMPLETED MAY 2019
