Amelia Marie Thompsons life went to shambles when her best friend left her ten years ago without a word. Left to live on her own, she built a comfortable life in solitude...or as comfortable as she wanted to believe it was. She struggled more than one person should deal with, but she's a fighter and not one to back down. Her twenty-seven years alive have been earned, and she will continue to fight every day for peace. But peace never comes easily. Damon Rossi never cared about anyone or anything until he met Amelia in their youth. He never thought he could care about someone outside of his family, nor did he ever allow himself to, but one fateful day brought them together. They were inseparable until another fateful day tore him away from her without a word for a decade. Now, fate has brought them back together again. When Amelia is hunted down by someone after Damon, she flees to her once best friend for aid and protection. There, she discovers the truth to everything. Why he left, why he came back, and why he's such a hard ass. It is now up to these two stubborn individuals to solve this scheme without budding heads, but when old feelings start to stir with the new ones, they begin to realize they won't be able to walk away from this easily. Danger lurks over them, but is their love more terrifying? That's pretty crazy... **TRIGGER WARNINGS** Contains brief mentions of parental abuse, alcoholism, stalking, suicide, and sexual assault. These are only sprinkled in throughout the book, and will not provide extreme details, but I will provide trigger warnings at the beginning of the chapter, as well as ** at the start and end of the triggering paragraph(s) to inform the reader of exactly when it is happening, for anyone who wants to skip for personal reasons. This book is a mafia book and will contain violence and murder during many chapters. Keep in mind that this is a fictional dark romance novel and is just a creative outlet.

Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends.

Gangs. A girl. War. Fights. Love. Hate. Death. All words to describe the city of Athens. The most dangerous city in the country. But only those who have been there know that. Athens is not a place for tourism. Not many people who visit, make it out alive. Vicki, 16, has finally found a home willing to adopt her after 6 years of jumping from home to home, family to family, foster to foster. Some were good. Some bad. Some could, would, and did the unthinkable. But now she didnt have to deal with that. But she had no idea of the secrets that the friendly "welcome to Athens" sign hides. Or did she? She wasn't ever supposed to end up in the system. Or end up on her meds. She remembered nothing of her life before 10 years old. She had always knew something was missing, but this? This was more than she could ever handle remembering. **** "Wow, I thought it was just you guys and Artemis." "There's a whole world of gangs. There are gangs in every country, some even I don't know as a leader." "Is it tough being a leader?" "Some times. Especially when I have to deal with loss. But I also give some opportunities to people who need it. I've even given a homeless man a small job and it set him up for life." "That's cool. Are the Zusians tyrants. I mean were they?" something about the name doesn't shake me. It's stuck in my head for some reason. "They more are now. There's speculation that a kid got out safe and will one day take back the leadership, but after seeing the wreckage first hand, I don't think anybody left it alive," he says it. But he doesn't sound like he even believes himself. "Did the kid get out? Is it even slightly possible?" "Between you and me. I helped her escape. I know she got out. But I don't think she lived long after we lost contact. Why do you ask?" "Something about the name... It is vaguely familiar but I don't know why. Maybe it's just my meds." "You might have just heard it before." *** Cover by @_scintillas
