"𝘼 𝙥𝙞𝙚𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙡𝙚𝙛𝙩 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙤𝙞𝙨𝙤𝙣 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚." Sebastian wanted an escape. For years, he had treated his mother's basement as a shelter, hiding from a small town that felt like a cheap video game with a predictable script. He was almost done trying to find a reason to stay-until Violet arrived. The Zuzu City girl with the mismatched eyes who didn't play by the rules of the valley. For a year, their friendship consisted of silent observation, shared secrets, and mutual fixation. Until the night Violet vanished without a trace. But three months later, Violet walks right back into Stardew, and claims to have no memory of where she's been. Now, caught between the life he tried to rebuild and the ghost of the only girl he ever wanted, Sebastian is about to realize that whatever climbed out of the Mines didn't return to save him-it came to drag him into the dark.

"Well, you didn't expect me to sleep on the floor, now did you?" she scoffed. His eyes darkened. Her throat went dry. .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. Noticed by everyone. Trusted by no one. Loved by none. For Maria Carasso, being the first-born daughter of the ruthless Madre Beatrice is a deadly game of chess. In a high-society world where every smile hides a knife and loyalty is always borrowed, she is expected to either conquer or completely self-destruct. Then comes Marcello Salvatore. He is dangerous, magnetic, and deeply entwined with the American Mafia, a man whose silence is more threatening than most men's violence. What begins as a fragile, calculated alliance slowly spirals into a forbidden attraction Maria was never meant to feel. Then there's Matteo Salvatore. Where Marcello is winter, Matteo is wildfire. Charming, reckless, and impossible to ignore, he laughs too easily, says too much, and keeps appearing exactly when Maria needs someone in her corner. In a family where trust is a liability, he becomes the one person she never expected to lean on. But empires are not built on love. They're built on blood. When the first body drops, every finger points to Marcello. Worse yet, Maria knows exactly what he is capable of... and they could all be right. Now trapped between two Salvatore men, a mother who raised her to be a weapon, and a war that reaches far beyond New York, Maria must decide which is deadlier: betraying the family that owns her, or trusting the one that never will.

Sequel to Moving world's but can be read as stand alone It is the best feeling ever, so great that you can't truly describe it. It's something otherworldly, a deep connection that consumes you. When I had met him it was like I had a tumour, it had started in my heart. Before metastasising, spreading to every depth of my body. A disease that doesn't need treatment, an illness that becomes the only thing keeping you going. He saved me and cursed me at the same time, a curse that leaves me eternally his." Zephaniah softly told him, her eyes distant, her feelings resurfacing.
