THERE IS NO REST FOR THE WICKED. Alessandra La Rosa was raised between two worlds that should have never touched. Claimed by Bratva, protected by Cosa Nostra, and shaped into a weapon long before she understood what love was, she has spent her whole life self-destructing just to survive. Then Rafael Russo crashes into her world like a lit match near gasoline. He's reckless, obsessive, dangerous in all the ways she understands too well, and the one man she can never allow herself to want. What begins as an attraction quickly turns into something far more deadly: attachment. While Rafael sees a future with her, Alessandra already knows the truth. She doesn't belong to herself. When old debts awaken, and war begins brewing between the Italian mafia and the Bratva, Alessandra is forced to choose between the family that raised her... and the man willing to burn his entire world down just to keep her.

We tend to examine where we've gone wrong, what we've achieved, and what lessons we might have think we've learned. Some might even hope that by looking back, we can prevent ourselves from repeating the mistakes of the past. Yet... we contradict ourselves, giving rise to the familiar adage: history repeats itself. For centuries, two souls have been ensnared by a curse. Fates entwined in ways neither can escape. One must always betray. One must always kill. The Order has long hunted these two souls, for theirs is the only altered DNA capable of powering an ancient relic, which is an artifact born of an even older tale: the story of The River. And when these cursed souls meet again, unaware of the history they've shared, the cycle begins anew. Old wounds ache with fresh pain. Trust dissolves like smoke. Passion flares into pure chaos, threatening to consume them both. He's the curse. 𝘚𝘩𝘦'𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘬𝘦𝘺.

She survives by keeping her past sealed tight- every bruise, every secret, every ugly truth locked behind elegance and restraint. Her life is a performance, and she never misses a step. Until she slips... ...and falls straight into the orbit of the man she was taught to despise most. One reckless act- done under the guise of a false persona- sets something irreversible in motion. A line is crossed. A fire is sparked. And the illusion of distance between them shatters. That night leaves her with a hangover, and a realization she can't escape. You don't have to die to go to hell. Some men bring it right to you. He is power without conscience. A presence felt more than seen. The devil everyone fears. She is a mess dressed in designer. A voice that refuses to be silenced. The angel everyone envies. Logic says they should never align. That their worlds, their loyalties, and their sins are fundamentally opposed.

Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her. My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again." I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in." "And? You think they want to watch? Shit, I would." _____________________________________ ~Maya Castillo~ Escaping her traumatic past, Maya and her brother, Santiago, run to New York.

Alex Baker, a guarded photography student determined to keep her distance from athletes, has to play a dangerous game of casual passion with the campus's biggest hockey playboy in order to get him out of her system without falling for his charm. ------- Alex Baker is in a catastrophic dry spell, and frankly, she's over it. She knows exactly what she likes, but no guy on campus seems capable of delivering-until she crosses paths with Jaxon Cross. ​Jaxon is Northridge University's hockey golden boy, though his real reputation has absolutely nothing to do with the ice. The rumors about his bedroom skills spread faster than campus gossip, painting him as the ultimate, unforgettable sin. But behind the cocky smirk and the heavy praise is a guy secretly suffocating under the shallow image everyone forces on him. ​Alex detests him on principle. Jaxon is addicted to the fiery, sharp way she looks at him-like he's the worst mistake she could ever make. ​But when Jaxon overhears her brutally venting about her lackluster sex life, he offers her a deal that makes her blood run hot: a strict, no-strings-attached hookup pact. No emotions. No expectations. Just pure, unadulterated pleasure. ​Curiosity wins. But the second Jaxon touches her, the boundaries blur. ​Because Jaxon doesn't just satisfy her body-he wrecks her mind. Between tangled sheets and breathless midnight confessions, he shows her a sweet, protective side no one else gets to see. Suddenly, the player who was only supposed to be a temporary fix is becoming an addiction she can't quit. ​Alex swore this was just a game. Jaxon is ready to change the rules. And now, she has to decide if she's brave enough to risk her heart on the one guy she promised herself she'd never love. This is the second book in the Northridge Series.
