The main character. The mental institute. Leaving a lake to drown in an ocean. Is it really the blind leading the blind - or a carefully curated plan. REI-N. 4

Sasha accumule les petits boulots avec la même régularité qu'elle cumule les galères. À vingt-huit ans, elle imaginait sa vie autrement. Alors quand elle accepte une banale livraison de courses, elle ne s'attend ni à tomber sur un inconnu en costume trois pièces, ni à ce que ce dernier retienne aussitôt son attention. Eliott Ashbrook est tout ce qu'elle n'est pas. Froid, charismatique, imperturbable. Il semble mener son existence comme une partie d'échecs, calculant le moindre de ses faits et gestes. Et pourtant, il va lui proposer un marché aussi improbable que dérangeant. Ce qui ne devait être qu'un simple détour dans sa journée va devenir le point de départ d'un jeu trouble, entre faux-semblants et vérités soigneusement dissimulées. Car Eliott a un objectif. Et Sasha, malgré son quotidien chaotique, est peut-être la pièce maîtresse de son plan.

a compilation of poems completed in 2021. My goal was to keep writing in hopes my words will resonate with someone and soothe the confusion and harm that will inevitably exist. It captures the rawness of heartbreak, the layers of betrayal, the emotional turmoil of one's twenties along with the highs and lows, and discovering what it means to travel to the depths oneself with acceptance and compassion.

From the moment Aurora Romano could walk, she was warned to stay away from him. Luca De Luca - the ruthless heir to Italy's deadliest mafia family. Cold. Cruel. Deadly. And terrifyingly silent. He never spoke to her. Not a word. Not a glance. Not even when they were children playing in the same villa courtyard. While others chased her with laughter, he stood in the shadows, watching. Always watching. To her, he hated her. His silence screamed of disdain. His sharp gaze felt like a knife. His presence made her heart race-for all the wrong reasons. But what she didn't know was that Luca had been obsessed with her for years. From the moment she smiled at him when they were eight and he didn't know how to smile back. Now, ten years later, she's grown into a fierce beauty-still soft-hearted, still scared of him. And Luca? He's no longer just the quiet boy in the corner. He's a man feared by everyone, even his enemies. Ruthless. Heartless. Unforgiving. She thought he hated her. But the truth is far darker. He was never ignoring her. He was waiting.
