Samantha Whitmore was born to race. Her father taught her everything-how to read the road, push limits, and live with the fire in her veins. But after her parents died in a tragic car accident, she left that life behind. The girl who once ruled the streets disappeared with them. Now, three years later, her brother Landon overprotective and watches her every move. She's just trying to live a normal life...until her reckless friends drag her back into the world she ran from, placing a bet in her name. The challenge? Race Nate Sinclair-her brother's best friend, and the undefeated, untouchable street racing legend. She agrees to one race. Just one. But nothing about Nate is simple. The more time they spend together, the more the past creeps in. Nate knows things about that night-about her-that he's not saying. And the deeper Sam digs, the more she realizes the truth she's been avoiding might destroy everything... including the growing connection between them. He races with secrets. She races with scars. When the past catches up, will they survive the crash?

[Book #3 in the Nystrom series] [TW: mature content, heavy topics, language] "Are we really doing this?" I press myself against him, my voice hoarse. It's not the fact I don't want this, because I do. I voice my thoughts out loud. "Once we do this, we can't go back." His lips meet my neck, pressing small kisses against my skin. "I'm not worried about that. You have made a slave of me for the past 22 years that I've been alive. No matter what you might think, you're mine. You've always been mine." His hand wraps around my chin. "I want your eyes on me." A flicker of approval flickers across his gaze when he sees me obeying. "Now move, sweetheart." 𓆩♡𓆪 𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀 𝐋𝐔𝐃𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐎, the innocent angel. Or so they thought. Dressed in black with eyes that could kill - she was the epitome of poison wrapped in silk. Someone you'd want to worship, not knowing whether you were worshipping a goddess or someone far worse than the devil himself. And right there, in the middle of her chaos, there was him. Her anchor. 𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎 T̶H̶O̶R̶N̶B̶R̶I̶D̶G̶E̶ 𝐀𝐌𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐄, the abomination that shouldn't have been born. With the majority of the underworld wanting him dead, you'd think he had bigger issues than worrying about a certain raven haired girl. Unfortunately, there's only one thing his twisted mind is set on. Her. Even though his father ruined her family's life, even if he's not good enough for her. He'll have her no matter what, and he'll make anyone suffer who gets in his way. A complicated friendship, nothing more - but hearts are liars, and so were they. 𓆩♡𓆪 Started: August 2024 Finished: TBA

At Whitmore University, only the rich, the brilliant, and the dangerous survive. Ryan Shaffer is none of the above. She's here on scholarship, laser-focused, and more interested in staying at the top of the class than making friends. So when the class rankings drop and she sees her name in second place, she's not shocked. What shocks her... is who's in first. Carter Grayson. She's never seen him in a single lecture. Never heard his name. And yet there he is, one spot above her. Infuriatingly smug. Maddeningly attractive. And worst of all? Unbothered. Carter is everything Ryan can't stand: reckless, flirtatious, filthy rich-and somehow, smarter than her. But the deeper she digs, the more the mystery unravels. Because Carter Grayson has secrets no one talks about. And Ryan? She might be the only one bold (or stupid) enough to challenge him. At Whitmore, power is inherited, not earned. But Ryan's done playing by their rules. --- His lips were inches away from my ear and the heat from his breath sent my body into complete shock. "I'm an asshole," he said, almost breathless. I wanted to agree because wherever that admission came from it was the truth. "I only know how to hurt people," he said again. More feverishly this time. "You're worse," I claimed. "Than an asshole. You're worse." "I know," he mumbled. Pain etched in his face. "Why the unexpected confession?" "Cause you were right," he said, leaning back - severing the connection before it had even formed. "I'm not worth it."
