Zoe, a high school sophomore, has learned the hard way she wants nothing to do with dangerous love and alphaholes. Cruz is her safest bet for a prom date--a top athlete who has never been noticed in any stereotypical bad boy behavior. She has no clue he's that way for a good reason. Wild partying leads to kissing, kissing leads to passion, and passion can activate his dormant vampiric gene. So, he fixes his classic car, plays ball, and listens to Zen music on the regular. Basically, he'd do anything to avoid falling in love, even with Zoe. Too bad a certain Ancient vampire wants Cruz's unique abilities and she has no scruples about thrusting Zoe and Cruz into dangers far beyond what they have wisely tried to avoid.

The past is a powerful thing. It can remind us of the things that once made us happy, that once made us who we were. It can show us all the things we thought were so complicated at the time but truly were so simple, so easy. And my past, I could never part with it, no matter how many times I try to trick myself into believing it would be better for me if I had. If having the slate cleaned was a better option than acknowledging all the mistakes I've made in my life, all the pain that I've caused. But the past...the past is where she lives. A blurred image that always creeps in when I least expect it, an image that haunts my dreams, a voice that fills my memories like the soft chords of a distant melody. There is where she lives, there is where she haunts, and there is the only place I'll ever get to see her because now she's gone and without her I have nothing. Without her... I am nothing.

Led by whispers, bound by madness It's not frightening to take a life, but what is terrifying is the power to change it completely.

Among them is he, the Mad Alpha, a legend wrapped in tragedy, trapped here for over a decade. They say he's insane, a danger to all, and they keep him hidden, lost in a haze of tranquilizers and wolfsbane. But what if the madness they claim is merely a facade? I've to know, for my own sake.

Arrow is an upstanding citizen. That is, until the night she finds her boyfriend trying to swallow another girl's tonsils. That day, she commits the ultimate sacrilege and tampers with the Great Forces... by causing them to fall in love with the reflection of the other. TMD, the employer for 85% of all cupids in the supernatural world, punishes this blunder by termination and a secondary, unknown disciplinary action. However, due to undisclosed but unique circumstances, this pretty, little cupid is pardoned. Under one condition, of course. If she can obtain True Love's Kiss from the girl's current partner by the end of Eros' Moon, Arrow will right the scales of the Great Forces and be released from punishment. The catch? The girl's boyfriend is Scythe, Hell's most famous grim reaper. And he is NOT fond of cupids.

'You're not going anywhere, Clara. You're not running away from this.' Everything I felt for him, everything that could ruin me, raged to rip apart and crash at his feet. He gently lifted my chin with one finger, his mouth hovering over mine. 'I'm the last person in this world you can hide from. How many times do I have to remind you?' ⚠️ WHOLESOME & ANGSTY MAFIA ROMANCE ⚠️ After stealing his enemy's daughter, Daniel Volkov never expects to be the one who gets captivated. Clara Rossi was not afraid to fight back. Especially with Volkov, who provoked her like it was an art form. He was chaotic, cunning, and unpredictable. Not to mention, annoyingly charming and sometimes even thoughtful. Except none of that mattered. They had a fractured past. A hopeless future. And a million reasons to never be together. HEARTWARMING REVIEWS FROM MY READERS "This was everything for me, dark romances are sometimes so toxic and I don't understand the need of toxicity in them cuz they can be written beautifully like you wrote it. Starting with Volkov, he's a protector without being controlling, he listens to everyone and never exerts his power on anyone. And Clara, oh how I love her so much, she's such a strong person from the start. She was as much of a protector as Volkov was. This is gonna have a special place im my heart always ♥️" - Maddylewis998-" - This book is very different from what you'd expect a mafia romance or dark romance to be. Daniel was a like a fresh Breeze. He has issues but knows his boundaries. These are the men you want to be with. Gentlemen but know when to not be one. And our female MC. My girl has brains. Knows when to do what. Our girl knows what she wants." - Mierda_you
