I can't seriously be thinking of liking a bad boy, or any boy for that matter. I will never trust men after what had happened to my mom. Men think they're higher ranking than women. They think they can do whatever they want in a relationship. Just look at school. Women have to dress appropriately because, apparently, men can't help but get distracted at our "shoulders." After that night Loque tried to kill my mom, I vowed to never be in a relationship. It's pointless, at the end, because we all know that it ends because someone cheated, the mutual bond decreased, or the divorce papers were given.
___________________________________________
Avei Reveer once had a loving family, but that was immediately shattered when Loque, her dad, decided to forcefully rape her mom every single night. Her reputation and thoughts of men are now at a huge minimal. She wasn't the only one with problems. Brent Rodríguez, the school's polite bad boy, had problems too. Apparently, all through his suffering experiences, he couldn't help but realize that one specific number has caused him all the pain in the world.
Nine.
Will Avei change that perspective? Will nine forever be a bad luck charm?

Deadly assassins Allegra and Ace have been trying in vain to kill each other for years. With a mutual enemy threatening their mafias, they find themselves in an unexpected alliance, and soon discover killing each other isn't the only temptation they need to resist...
******
Allegra Grey is poised to be the next great American mafia leader, and she's more than living up to the name. A skilled assassin, there's only one target who's ever gotten away from her-suave, sinfully handsome Ace De Luca, heir to the Italian mafia and the Greys' biggest rival. When both mafias are faced with a dangerous threat, they're forced to work together to protect their families, and unexpected sparks fly. Allegra definitely isn't one to sleep with the enemy, especially an arrogant womanizer like Ace. But there's an undeniable electricity between them and Allegra's not sure it's all hatred. Ace may be bad news, but Allegra's never been afraid of a little danger. As the fire they're playing with grows to a scorching blaze, one thing is clear: trying to kill each other may have been difficult, but resisting this intense chemistry will be impossible.
