As he saunters over to me, with a devilish hint in his eyes, all I could think about was how freaking pissed I was for my own body betraying my mind when it told me to run. I take a deep breath and close my eyes as he reaches his red stained hands towards my face, knowing this could be my last moment on Earth. Bracing myself for death to happen upon me, I clench my eyes shut tighter and curse myself for not being more brave. You might be wondering how I've ended up in this situation. Well, it all started 6 months ago, when I met the gorgeous stranger who now is holding my fate in his hands....

The plan has always been simple. Finish college and open my own bakery while supporting my best friend in his journey to the NHL. After a not-so-good experience last year, I've been avoiding most of the hockey team. That is until I finally met their newest teammate whose green eyes have been stuck in my brain ever since. Did I mention he's also my best friend's roommate?

You've probably heard stories about how a good girl falls in love with a bad boy or vice versa. However, in this scenario, despite the fact that they were never supposed to be together, they were asked or, more accurately, told to stay away from each other. He had also been informed that "𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐑𝐒𝐄." It's definitely not a story of a King and his Queen, it's a story of a King and his Knight.

While his delated orbs never left mine. But I'm not gonna let you win, Ryan, and I'll make sure of it. "Do you want me to seduce you, King?" I seductively remarked raising a brow. He slightly laughed "you can't seduce me, knight" attitude dripping from his voice. I smirked and replied "I'm gonna take that as a challenge" my fingers trailed down to his lips and stopped at his lower lip. "Sure, you have a whole night for it" he smirked. --- IT'S NOT A MAFIA BOOK

When Evelyn Campbell transfers to an elite university, she accidentally discovers a secret about the most feared student on campus-Aiden Blackwood. He isn't just rich and powerful. He's the heir to a dangerous mafia empire. Now that Evelyn knows the truth, Aiden gives her only two choices: stay silent... or pretend to be his girlfriend. But in a world full of secrets, enemies, and lies, getting close to the devil might be the most dangerous mistake she'll ever make. "I saw you that night," I whispered. Aiden stepped closer, dark eyes unreadable. "Then you know too much, Evelyn." My heart pounded. "What are you going to do... threaten me?" A slow smile crossed his face. "No," he said quietly. His hand closed around mine. "I'm going to make you mine." .................................................................................................................................. "I made a deal with the devil... and his name was Aiden Blackwood."
