This book is a sequel to His Favorite Distraction. You can read this as a stand-alone but I do suggest you read His Favorite Distraction first! ●○●○●○●○● Enzo Marconi is Dominic Moretti's right-hand man-lethal, serious, and as intimidating as they come. Lucy Winters is a whirlwind of laughter, endless charm, and dangerously persistent flirtation. When Lucy sets her sights on Enzo, the stoic enforcer finds his carefully controlled world turned upside down by a woman who refuses to back down. She challenges his silence with her sunshine and warmth, and he meets her fire with his gruff protectiveness. But when enemies threaten the fragile peace between them, they must decide if their reckless hearts can survive a world that demands they stay apart. ●○●○●○●○● Dominic stared. "You're freaking out." "No," I said. "I'm thinking." "About?" "About where to get the safest crib on the market. And bulletproof nursery windows. And how fast I can replace the locks on Lucy's apartment. Again." Dominic blinked. Then grinned. "Oh, you're really in it now." "I'd die for her," I said, very simply. "But I'd kill for that baby." Dominic whistled low. "Jesus. You're already nesting." "I am not." "You absolutely are. You're one Pinterest board away from painting a nursery." "I don't know what Pinterest is." "Liar." ●○●○●○●○● Word Count: 22,843

Briar Cadwell didn't choose Chicago. Grief dragged her here. At sixteen, she's already buried too much. From her older brother passing after chasing something that consumed him. Now her mother is gone too-another funeral, another piece of Briar ripped away. All she has left is her younger brother, Colton and a father who abandoned her years ago who suddenly steps back in to her life, ready to pull them into the perfect new life he built without her. That's when she meets Blake Riley. Motorcycle engine growling beneath him. Knuckles split. Smile sharp enough to cut. An underground fighter with a reputation for brutality-and eyes so empty they barely look alive. Blake doesn't just fight. He punishes himself. He's reckless. Addicted to adrenaline. Surrounded by men who push him harder, faster, further. The kind of boy who looks at pain like it's a challenge. Briar knows boys like him don't stop until something stops them. But when Blake looks at her, something shifts. He sees the cracks in her composure. She sees the damage he hides behind his fists. What starts as tension turns into something darker-late nights, blood-stained hoodies, secrets whispered in the dark. The deeper she falls, the more she notices the warning signs: the obsession, the pressure, the way Blake fights like he has nothing left to lose. It looks too familiar. Loving him feels like standing on the edge of something beautiful and catastrophic all at once. She couldn't save the people she lost. And she's starting to fear Blake might be next. Because some boys fight to win. Others fight like they're already dying. And when Blake Riley looks at her with those dead eyes- They don't lie.

"Then, what was even the point of hiding, I don't get it!" "I knew you wouldn't, that's why I shouldn't have said yes from the start." "So end it. Tell me you never wish to see me and I'll never bother you again." A pain reflected in her brown eyes, that were already full of tears. "You know I won't." he whispered back, after an aching silence. "I love you Zoe." Or: Zoe thinks she's finally escaped her parents' disappointment when she arrives at the family's beach house, where she's supposed to meet her brother and have a fun summer away from noise. But what happens when Alec gets worried about school work and his not-so-secret crush Libby and instead sends Casper, his best friend and Zoe's crush since she was four?
