DONT KILL ME ITS MY FIRST STORY PLEASE ENJOY MY LOVES:) Valeria Bianchi has spent her life surviving-fists, words, and a father who saw her as nothing but a pawn. When she is sold to the most ruthless mafia heir in Italy, she doesn't break. She fights. Adriano Russo is cold, calculated, and uninterested in a wife. Their marriage is a deal, nothing more. He doesn't care what she does, as long as she follows his rules. But Valeria doesn't obey. She challenges him at every turn, her sharp tongue and steel spine pushing against his control. Yet when old enemies rise, when she is stolen, broken, and left bleeding, Adriano finds himself willing to burn the world to bring her back. And as Valeria wipes the blood off her own hands, he realizes-she was never just a victim. She was always a fighter. In a world where loyalty is lethal and love is a weakness, will they destroy each other... or become each other's only salvation?

Rhodes is an intimidating man, with no expression to match your attempted humor. But his art is like no other, a talented tattoo artist he gave people their wishes but better, making something permanent, merely impossible to regret. There was only one thing to make Rhodes soft, a gorgeous woman he studied like a student did before an exam, analyzing who she hung with, who she spoke to, hoping none of the interactions were genuine although they were. With the kindness that reminds one of a warm summer day, Cecelia serves Rhodes merely everyday at the local pub she waitresses for, his order the same every time to where she forgot his voice completely after the first time. After finding out where he works, she's determined to get him to speak, after all, he was the only one who she thought to be a bit strange. Little did she know he'd been watching her for months. Loving her from afar.

**Her Rock Sequel** Agape: noun. 1. The highest form of love. Selfless, sacrificial, and unconditional love; persists no matter the circumstance. One year later Ella and Declan are seniors. One year later Julian is locked up and Hayes is nowhere in sight. One year later Ella and Declan believe they can breathe again without having to glance over their shoulders every other second. This year Ella Emerson has rekindled her love for soccer after facing her past that tragically tore her apart. She has Declan Anderson by her side, the boy who mended her shattered pieces, and the same boy she's given her whole heart to. At last, life is safe again, their love is growing by the second, and now all they have to worry about is loads of homework. Or so they thought. As days pass, peculiar things begin to happen. But when these peculiar things become a pattern can they really keep brushing them off as coincidences? It doesn't take long until the past they thought they conquered sneaks up on them and begins to fiddle with their relationship. Lies arise, fights kindle, tension flares. Will they be able to take each individual punch thrown at them? Or will they crumble when things surpass the limits of difficult? * He then looks into my eyes, his face displaying all kinds of emotions. "Thank you," He whispers. "You're my Ellie, you know that right?" His thumb brushes along my face, setting fire ablaze wherever he touches. "Always my Ellie." My Ellie. Words don't seem to come out, my mouth agape. Always.
