Sepphine Pellington, the heiress to her grandfather's company, the Pellington Jewelry Company. She is often locked in her room, in her family mansion, but in her own will. She was raised, having fear of the outside world, and what crime and corruption lie beyond it. Yet, she longs for love, not family love, she longs for true love.
Rouge Bentraunt, the most famous and handsome artist of the decade, has fame and popularity, but is inexperienced with the ladies, making him really, really awkward to talk to. Raised by a loving mother, an overprotective father, and a sister. He has fame, which is a type of love, but he longs for privacy, and love outside of family.
A crime committed turned their lives upside down. By the first day of summer, Sepphine boards an airplane for business, and Rouge is on total "hiatus".
This is a story of stepping out of your comfort zone, and longing for other things while appreciating what you already have.

The Thief and The Smuggler
Gabriel DeMarco had grown accustomed to being untouchable. For years, his name had been whispered in hushed tones within the world of art and high society. His reputation as a master of smuggling was as legendary as the masterpieces in his collection. Whether it was the famous Van Gogh stolen from a Parisian gallery or the rare Egyptian artifact retrieved from a private auction, Gabriel was the go-to man for acquiring the most coveted-and the most dangerous-artifacts. But there was a price to his fame. His fear was not of arrest-it was the erosion of his influence. If his operations were traced back to him, the walls would close in. Gabriel's entire world, built on secrecy and control, would collapse. That's when he saw Alina. She wasn't a player in the game of high society or the corrupt underworld. She was something else entirely-a skilled thief with the subtlety and craftiness to do what Gabriel could no longer afford to risk. Gabriel didn't call the police. He didn't even threaten her. Instead, he offered her something far more dangerous: a proposition. "Do you know who I am?" he asked, his voice calm, even amused. "Everyone knows you," she replied bitterly, her eyes narrowing. Gabriel's smile was slow, almost predatory. "Yes, and that's exactly why I need someone like you. Someone who can stay in the shadows, work quietly, and keep their hands clean. No one knows you, Alina. You have the perfect cover."

V is for Violet (COMPLETE)
-COMPLETE original version PLUS first half of new version!- "I don't know what to do," I admitted for the first time to both her and myself. "I don't know how to maintain this without fucking something up. I don't know how to keep spending time with you without setting a bad example or slipping up in front of my Family." Violet sat up and turned to face me. "I can't answer that for you," she said with a sad smile. "But I can go. I can make this easier, stay out of your way for a while." She stood on her knees between my legs, close, but not touching, and watched me with those wide, ocean eyes. I should have told her to go- listened to her suggestion and put some real distance between us. It would have been smarter, safer. But it would feel like cutting off my own hands. "I don't want that," I murmured, and reached for her waist. (excerpt from new version) --- Vengeance. Vendetta. Violence. These three words are all Violet Harcourt knows. For years, her world has been centered around killing Bill Pfeiffer, the hitman who murdered her father and sister.

To kill, or not to kill seems to be the ultimate question- one he must answer while managing a promotion, taking down a rival Family, and trying not to fall in love.

A simple class system full of corruption, the police, and money runs her city. The only way out was money or to be bonded to someone with money. Being bonded, which was akin to soulmates, was A load of propaganda and rubbish to a girl just trying to finish high school and survive her less-than-high society father and his druggy friends. When unfortunate circumstances lead her to meet police officer Hayden and control freak CEO Caledon North, everything changes. Apparently, she had a soulmate or two, and apparently, the law dictated that she was stuck with them. This is her 'chance' to be more than another dirty girl on the street. Too bad she's an inconvenience and quite frankly, to them, not wanted. This is a mature, slow-burn romance with multiple lovers the main character doesn't have to choose between. There is slight 'bullying' of the male protagonists to the main character. But obviously, they end up falling harder. ;)Concluída
