A broken girl who was born on the wrong side of the tracks and the golden boy who never knew she was all he was ever missing When Lucy Bradley is transferred from her school to St. Bartholomew's Academy after years of consistent harassment and bullying from her own classmates that nearly beat the abuse she was already suffering at the hands of her own father, she just wants one thing. Peace. But Jack Foster, star football player at St. Bartholomew's, has different plans. The moment he set his eyes on her, he knew he needed to have her, and he wasn't going to stop until he did. The story of a girl who believed she was incapable of being loved, and a boy who gave her all the love he never knew he had.

Deianeira Ermington learned early on how to stay quiet. At home, the air always felt too heavy, like the walls themselves were listening. Her father's temper was unpredictable, sharp and sudden, and her mother's silence hurt in a different way-cold, distant, and unwilling to step in. There were no bruises anyone could easily point to, no dramatic scenes for outsiders to whisper about. Instead, it was the constant criticism, the raised voices, the feeling that nothing she did was ever good enough. Home was supposed to be safe. For Deianeira, it was a place where she felt small. She spent most of her time in her room, music playing softly in her headphones, homework spread out across her bed. Books became her escape. In stories, people found courage. They found love. They found belonging. In real life, she mostly felt invisible. Loneliness followed her everywhere. At her old school, she kept her head down, drifting through hallways like a ghost. She convinced herself it didn't matter. If she didn't let anyone get close, they couldn't hurt her. When her family moved across town before her junior year, she told herself it didn't matter either. A new house. A new school. Same life. But the first day at Westbridge High made her feel even more out of place than before. The building was bigger, louder, filled with tight-knit friend groups and confident laughter. She felt like everyone could see it written on her face: outsider. She wore her uncertainty like a second skin, tugging at her sleeves, avoiding eye contact. That was when she noticed Nathaniel Crawford. - "What do you mean?" He says "You make me feel seen, ok? Like I'm the only person who matters. And...... I've never felt that way before" I said heavenly breathing 🤍

Lily Malen was never meant to be seen. She was trained to obey without question. To smile on command. To lie still and survive the kind of hell that strips a girl of her name, her past, her voice. She was property. Invisible. Disposable. Until she ended up in his house. Adrian Rossetti lives in a world of cold steel and quieter sins-where power is currency, loyalty is bought in blood, and monsters wear silk ties. At twenty-two, he's already carved his name into the underworld with bone-deep precision. Emotionless. Untouchable. Absolute. Lily is a mistake. One the House should have buried. But Adrian sees her. And the moment he does, he doesn't want to let her go. Not to save her. To destroy her. To peel back the pretty, obedient layers and see what she looks like when she breaks. To ruin the untouched thing fate dropped in his lap just to see if she bleeds differently. But Lily is softer than anyone he's known. And somehow, softer is worse. Because she isn't just breaking beneath him-she's making him feel. And Adrian Rossetti does not feel. He punishes. He controls. He owns. And if he's not careful, Lily Malen might ruin him first.

"You're a smart girl, baby," he smirks - his lips kissing the pulse at my neck, "Use that pretty little head of yours and dream, it can mean whatever you want it to mean, my words are yours." "What if I say I want it to mean,'I'm Enzo and I'm in love with Nico'?" "Then that would be a lie, butterfly," his eyes darken as he strokes my bottom lip, "because you are the only person who holds meaning in my life, who holds my heart in her hands, I don't need anyone else but you.

"And you're addicted to trouble." "I am not addicted to you." "Yeah?" he murmurs, eyes dragging slowly over my face. "Then why do you shake every time I touch you?" ꨄꨄꨄ Alec Donovan is the kind of boy you cross the street to avoid. Bruised knuckles, a temper no one can control, and eyes that don't just look at you-they warn you. People don't get close to him. And if they do, they don't leave without damage. I was never supposed to be one of them. My life is planned-perfect grades, a future in design, expectations I can't break. My father calls boys distractions, and Alec Donovan is the worst kind. I called him Angel once. As a joke. Because he showed up when he shouldn't have, ruined my night, saved my life-and looked like he regretted both. The nickname should have died right after that. It didn't. Not when he kisses me just to shut me up. Not when he punches the boy who touched me wrong. Not when he looks at me like I'm something worth keeping. He doesn't ask. He takes-my space, my control, the life I thought I had planned. And the worst part? I don't stop him. Because when everything starts falling apart, he's there. Watching. Waiting. Protecting me in ways he never admits. Alec Donovan isn't a mistake. He's a warning. And the truth is- I'm not scared of him ruining me. I'm scared of how much I want him too. ꨄꨄꨄ "𝘏𝘌 𝘐𝘚 𝘔𝘠 𝘈𝘕𝘎𝘌𝘓... 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘭."
