I crossed my arms. "No. I refuse. I am not getting in a car with you, Vincenzo. Not after what just happened! I want answers! Who were those guys? Why are people shooting at us?! And most importantly-" I pointed at his gun, "-WHY DO YOU HAVE A GUN LIKE YOU'RE IN A MAFIA MOVIE?!" He sighed like I was a dramatic child throwing a tantrum. Me?! Dramatic?! I was literally just shot at! Then, before I could blink- He picked me up. Like I weighed nothing. "VINCENZO, PUT ME DOWN!" He ignored me. Threw me into the passenger seat like a damn sack of flour.

She's always been sunshine - loud, warm, impossible to ignore. He's always been off-limits - her brother's best friend, permanently grumpy, and entirely uninterested... or so she thought. When she transfers to the same college her older brother attends, the last person she expects to see is him - colder, sharper, and even more infuriating than she remembers. He barely tolerates her. She pushes every button he has. They clash. Constantly. But when a housing mix-up forces them into a one-bed situation during a weekend trip, lines blur. Tension snaps. And suddenly, the guy who couldn't stand her is watching her like she's the only thing in the room. He knows he shouldn't touch her. She knows she shouldn't want him.

No lies. Just a broken girl with terrified eyes that somehow still look at him like she's waiting for permission to breathe. Elena is pulled deeper into a dangerous world of obsession, violence, power, and a love so consuming it could either save her... or destroy them both
