"Barefoot, she fled to a world severed from me. I let her vanish. I let her hide. I let her chase the illusions of freedom, for I know that when her feet tire, when she collapses to her knees, I will always be there to cradle the bruises on her ankles . . . and bind them the same." • • • • • He once held her like a sacred secret, until she learned the curse was him all along. And when his demons drenched her in red, there was nothing left to do but let the consequences storm. In a fractured world reeking of sin and blood, there are no winners- only ruin. A prophecy waits to wake in the hands of the girl who shapes an Arcane's obsession. But little does he know: she has memorized the spine and gravity of what makes his marrow breathe. And if he dares to cage her now, she will twist the chains of their fate until they cut into his own flesh. The only problem? The bastard will endure it with a smile. If not, then carve himself a little deeper just to be closer to her heart.

((This book can be read as a standalone. But spoilers for Pucking Expectations.)) Four chapters per week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday). He's a heartbroken hockey player and she's a lost former supermodel. But together everything makes sense. Even though it shouldn't. She tried to hide, but her friends brough out her true self. And he saw her. He saw her and wanted her. And then he took her. He was going to leave it at that. But he hurt her. He hurt her and she knew it was going to happen. Everyone warned her. But they didn't tell her he would insist on making it up to her. In bed. She can... use him, right? Just a little? It was supposed to be once, he was supposed to make it better and forget her. But he keeps going back for more. He keeps showing up at her door, and she can't say no. As long as nobody else finds out...

Power is what will destroy them. From sworn enemies to reluctant allies, there is nothing 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐚 𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐯 wouldn't do, nobody she wouldn't use to reach what her mind has been fixated on for years. Revenge. She's inhumane. Emotionless. Messed up in the head-a diagnosed ASPD mind turned into something precise, something dangerous. A machine. The underworld doesn't call her by name. They call her the flame behind the ghost don. The living requiem. Nyx. And when something like her sets her sights on a target? She takes. Uses. Burns everything necessary to get what she wants. And 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐳𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐨 became exactly that. There's nothing the Camorra king hates more than her-the ghost, the flame, the thorn in his side he's been chasing for years. The assassin behind the Russian don he wants nothing more than to take down. The one thing standing between him and full control over New York City. Blaze is forced to do the one thing he would rather die than do: Ally with the enemy. It was supposed to be simple. Temporary. Strategic. But temptation has always been a dangerous game, and Vera has never been the kind to walk away from a game. Especially one she knows she'll win. Because she's always ten steps ahead. She doesn't lose. She calculates. Plans. Decides. And this time, she chose to play.

My monster is back in my house. No one else sees him the way I do. To the world, he's respectable. To my mother, he's a second chance. To me, he's the reason I learned to survive with my teeth bared and my mouth sharp. And he didn't come alone. Killian is everything his father isn't: infuriating, unreadable, and impossible to ignore. He doesn't want this new family any more than I do, and he makes that clear from the moment we meet. He looks at me like he sees through the mask I've perfected, like he knows I'm not as untouchable as I pretend to be. We hate each other on sight. We push, we provoke, we cross lines we shouldn't. Falling for him would be reckless. Falling for him would mean loving someone tied to the one person I can never escape. But hate and desire blur fast when you're trapped under the same roof, and the only thing more dangerous than my monster is his son. And when he finally finds out the truth, he'll have to choose. His father. Or me. The problem is that I've never been the one anyone chooses.

After one too many emotionally unavailable disasters, she swore she'd never fall again. No commitments. No expectations. No weakness. Then she meets Jace Vaughn. Her best friend's cousin. Shy. Quiet. A so-called innocent nerd with an angel's face and eyes that linger a second too long on her body. He's not her type, but the more she teases him, pushes him, and tests him, the more she realizes something dangerous. Jace isn't as innocent as he looks. And for the first time, Freya isn't the one in control. What starts as a game turns into something far more consuming than a simple hookup. The question isn't whether Jace can handle Freya. It's whether Freya can handle falling for him. 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐒 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐄. 𝐓𝐑𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐂𝐎𝐏𝐘, 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐈'𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐀𝐋 𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍. 𝐈 𝐃𝐎𝐍'𝐓 𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐎𝐖 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐒𝐋𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒, 𝐎𝐑 𝐅𝐀𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒.

ONGOING ⏳⏳ She whimpers and wiggles on top of me. I grab hold of her hips to still her and shallowly pump into her. "Don't move." I say. "I can't stop, it feels so good." She moans and moves slowly. ____ Sam McCoy and Diana Cassidy have always lived in that fragile space between friendship and something more.

But the longer they wait, the more likely it is they run out of time. Because something does happen. And by the time they're finally ready to be honest, it just might be too late. ___________________________ Best rankings: #1 in pact #1 in freaks #1 in itwasalwaysyou #3 in childhoodfriends #3 in heartproblems Picture on the cover isn't mine Started 07/08/2025 Finished ??/??/????
