"The Caregiver and the Mob Boss" ❦ Avelina makes her money by taking care of those who can't take care of themselves. When she is handed a case about a man who had needed a personal caregiver, she accepts. One thing Avelina never anticipated was the dangerous lifestyle he lived. Not only that, but she didn't expect for him to be so incredibly good-looking. Adrik Zolotov, the Russian mobster that everyone called "Mad Hatter". His insanity and crave for blood left him the most feared man of all. All he wanted was power and those around him to fear him. For a man recently diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, everyone believed him to be emotionally incapable of ever loving anyone. . . Imagine their surprise when he meets Avelina. ❦ "Mr. Zolotov, I have to make sure you bathe before I leave. It's apart of my jobs protocol," she said softly. The truth was that he made her feel nervous. There was so much coldness and evil in his eyes, it left a chill to run down her spine. "Fine," he stated before walking over to his bathtub. Her eyes followed his movements as he pulled off his shirt causing her to lick her lips and quickly look away. She could hear the sound of more clothes falling onto the ground until the sound of water running littered her eardrums. "You assist when asked, isn't that right?" He asked. Slowly, she opened her eyes to see that he had already gotten into the shower. "Yes," Avelina answered. "Bathe me." ❦ Dangerously far from cliché

"Smoking is bad, you know." The placid voice speaks up from the distant dark corner, nothing to see but a tall silhouette and an orange glow of a cigarette cherry. "It's the least of my problems," I murmur with my own between my lips, proceeding to feel the stagnant debris valley my throat when I suck delicately. He exhales a chuckle of cynical amusement, his footsteps getting every step clearer to my eardrums until I eventually sense body heat burning my back. "And why is that?" He whispers over my shoulder, hands inviting themselves to grip the railing in front of me so I become a prisoner between his inked arms. I swallow. "Because you'll be the one to kill me first." // Aven Brooks is hired to take pictures for the world-renown punk rock band known today as Duplicity; hoping the experience gets her into her most elite-dreamed university. However, when her lenses accidentally capture more than just cheeky sound checks and performances, she comes to a horrifying discovery that Duplicity is anything but a band. Appalled and frightened, she's trapped. *HIGHEST RANKINGS* #1 IN HARRYSTYLES #1 IN ONEDIRECTION ALL RIGHTS RESERVED TO @happydays1d NOT ALLOWING TRANSLATIONS!

As he took one last step closer, his muscles made direct contact with every fragment of my body, and I could feel my skin become ten times warmer. "I shall keep my word for you, as a car is waiting down for you and a cloth change has been prepared." He placed his left hand beneath my chin, arcing it up slightly and running his thumb quickly over my lower lip in the process. "But prior to leaving," I felt his right hand shift at that, as it moved to make contact with my.. my bare thigh. Either his long and well-steeped index and middle fingers moved, tracing up the side of my thigh and beneath... his thin shirt...

A series of blatant lies and lucky breaks later and she is mistaken to be one of the workers underneath. While many might be terrified of this predicament Kate couldn't be more excited.

A beautiful but cynical and damaged orphan runaway with a dismal past. She gets nothing she wants. And love? She's given up in believing in love, it's just heartbreak and tears and happy endings only happen in clichéd novels.

Sean is enraptured by the sarcastic spitfire that is Rose, despite his best efforts not to be and suddenly, winning her heart seems to be his top priority. But with tormented pasts, old, destructive habits, criminal organizations and Rose's fear for love and her wariness of him, Sean getting his happy ending might not be possible. * She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen, there was no doubt about that. Everything about her drew me in. Her luscious hair, kissable lips, and her eyes! Those amber flames that pulled me in and burned me, sweetly torturing me. To say she was mesmerizing would be an understatement but as there are no words in the dictionary fit enough to describe her beauty, that is what I'll use. She was both a sinner and a saint, flawed yet somehow those flaws made her perfect. A creation of god meant only and solely for me. My other half. The missing part of my heart if not all of it. And it was that fact that made her so irresistible yet so dangerous. The fact that she could make me fall so hard in love that it would destroy me. She was dangerously irresistible. * Current cover by: @bullethood Dangerously Irresistible. Copyright © 2016 by @InfinitySkylines662. All Rights Reserved.
