What sucks more than being overweight? Falling for someone you don't have a shot in hell with. Ella Carson has always felt like the odd girl out. Bullied for being overweight all throughout high school, she decided to make a fresh start for herself and spend her last summer before college with her grandparents in Myrtle Beach. She expected to write on the beach in her journal to try and overcome the insecurities she's been unable to shake for years, maybe even make a friend or two, but what she didn't expect to happen was have a hot-shot athlete fall head over heels in love with her. Meet Patrick Connelly: a pretentious jock who has a lot more to him than just a knack for basketball. The two of them together are polar opposites, but as their summer unravels they begin to realize just how much they have to learn from one another.

He is a beautiful monster. She is the light that should've never crossed his path. Donnica Smith is chasing her dreams. Beautiful, ambitious, brilliant, and dangerously naïve, her future is full of promise and untouched by darkness. Until one reckless decision changes everything. She never expects her graduation thesis to lead her into the deadly trap orchestrated by Antonio Caruso, an infamous and ruthless Italian mafioso with a soul as cold as his beautiful stare. A man feared across continents. A man whom she regrettably chooses to be her muse. "I'd love to visit Tuscany someday..." she whispers absentmindedly in the interrogation room. And somehow, in the end, he takes her there. What starts as academic research spirals into a nightmare of captivity, seduction, and a game of survival. Donnica holds the key to Caruso's freedom, and he to hers. But at what cost? Dangerously Unusual is a dark romance where love is a weapon, obsession is survival, and trust is the most dangerous game of all. All Rights Reserved. Started: 2016 Ended: 2017/2018 (EDITING COMPLETE)
