"What's Rae short for?" He continued before tossing his friend the keys to his car. When he unlocked it she noticed the matte black Trackhawk was in the same parking lot. "Wouldn't you like to know." She leaned against the door of her car realizing he wasn't ready to wrap up their conversation so quickly. He stood his ground with a smirk tucking both hands into his pockets. "I'm asking." He shrugged, playing off his curiosity. "What's Baby short for?" She returned the question hesitant to give him her name since she didn't know his. "Josiah." He didn't hesitate. The name fit him like a glove. "Raegan." She granted, through her doe eyes. ❃ She wasn't looking for love, neither was he, what they needed was healing, but love has a funny way of forcing itself into the mix.

"And next time you talk about my ass, make sure I haven't caught you staring at it." "I'm sick, Trouble. I'm sick, and you're the only thing that stops the shaking." ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Leona: The forbidden target. As the guitarist's sister, she was supposed to be off-limits, but she became Draven's "Trouble" instead. Resilient but haunted, she has spent the summer tour navigating a dark, electric frequency with a man who looks at her like she's the only thing worth saving, and the only thing worth destroying. Draven: A lethal rock god with a predatory streak and a silent, unhinged obsession. He doesn't just protect; he claims. Feral, territorial, and grumpy personified, he is a man of raw rage who would gladly watch his empire burn to the ground if it meant keeping the world's hands off what is his. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It was supposed to be a simple summer tour. No distractions. No scandals. And definitely no touching his best friend's sister. For Draven and Leona, the "ghost" era was the only way to survive. They existed in the silence, in stolen glances and a heavy, unspoken frequency that hummed beneath the roar of sold-out stadiums. But secrets this dark can't stay hidden in the light of the paparazzi's flash. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✨#1 in enemieswithbenefits #1 in tension #1 in rockstar #4 in oppositesattract #98 in seduction #40 in brothersbestfriend #11 in secretaffair #94 in secretrelationship #10 in wealthy

She is lonely, scared, and broken-a girl who has known nothing but pain. He is power, darkness, and sin-the Russian devil who has set his sights on her. He doesn't want her love. He wants to own her. To break her. To corrupt her. She's too naive, too untouched, too fragile. But that only makes him want to ruin her more. Her POV: My life has never been fair, but maybe that's just my curse. Like a moth drawn to the flame, I find myself pulled toward danger, knowing it will destroy me. And him... he makes me feel things I shouldn't. Things that terrify me. Things I crave. His POV: She moans my name like it's a prayer, but I am no saint. I won't take her to heaven. I'll drag her to hell-my hell. She will be my whore. My kitten. Mine.
