"You're atheist," I remind him. "You don't believe in god." "I believe in you," He murmurs, letting the cigarette hang from his lips. "I believe in whatever you believe." He says, letting the confession roll off his tongue as if it were that simple. As if god, the devil, heaven, hell-as if none of it really had meaning to him. "That's not how it works," I mutter as we walk down a few more alleyways-the city of Manhattan coated in a light blanket of snow. Henry Vitiello had never had anything to pray for, that is, until he met me-the only thing that had ever opened his mind up to the possibility of religion "Isn't it?" He argues, taking the cigarette by his middle and pointer finger before blowing the smoke out. "I'II dip my hands in holy water if it means I could touch you." "You'd probably burn." 𓆩♡𓆪 𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐑𝐘 𝐕𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐎, the reaper. He's a prick. An asshole. A pretentious son of a bitch. He's not perfect. He's not even decent. But he's hers.

Book 1 | ✓ Sweeping my curls with his hand, he unapologetically held my face, making me look at him as he spoke: "Someone should've gotten you a manual for living here. If that shocks you, then I don't know how everything else will make you react." I muffled a laugh, though deep down wanted to fall into a fetal position. He was so much more handsome up close like this with the sun behind him, angelic almost―disregarding the tattoo inscribed on the side of his neck. Picasso's full lips parted, grinning at me till my heart started acting funny-fluttering against my ribs. "I think I've got the hang of it around here. I can handle myself," I remarked, smiling. "Stop worrying about me." "The thing is I can't stop," he admitted. "And I won't." Though there was no legal ties to bind him to what he said, I believed what Picasso swore to me on that afternoon. And for that reason, I agreed to his proposition to go out on a date. ❀ Picasso is the polar opposite from the preppy rich girl that is, and always will be, Sydney Webster. However, Sydney loses it all in an instant when she hears of her father's death, leading their two worlds to collide. Kicked out of her beach house in Malibu, Sydney is forced to move in with her aunt and her three kids in a tiny apartment. Sydney goes from attending prestigious schools and yacht parties to having to walk through metal detectors before entering homeroom, gang violence brewing inside the school, and a posey of mean girls ready to put Sydney in her place and remind her where she's at on the food chain. Luckily for her, there's a savior in the chaos: Picasso Hudson. ❀ [this is a companion book to Tethered Hearts. you do not need to read that book to understand this story.] #1 in urban fiction tag (4/1/20) #1 in urbanbooks (9/8/19) #1 in goodgirl (1/31/23) #4 in badboy (2/4/20) #65 in Teen (1/11/20)
