The Sin Trilogy
In a city that's been quietly burning from the inside out, Lyra Smith just wants to finish school, survive her past, and stay far away from the name that ruined her childhood. But then he shows up- Adrian Thorne. Elusive. Cold-eyed. Tied to the underground scene no one talks about. Their first meeting ends in broken glass. The second, in silence. The third, with her pinned against a wall-heart racing, mouth lying. He calls her trouble like it's a prayer and a warning all at once. He calls her love like a sinner. He calls her darling like it's a death sentence. She hates him. Wants him. Doesn't trust a word he says-and yet, she finds herself caught in the storm he carries like a second skin. Because Adrian doesn't forget. And Lyra's name is stitched into the wreckage of something he can't forgive. In a city full of secrets, obsession isn't love. But it might be all they have left.

Tell Me It's Forever
"Hey," I get her attention as I sit closer to her. "We're doing everything we can to find this mob okay? You'll be out of this situation in no time." "And what if something bad happens," she looks at me wide eyed with those beautiful eyes of hers. Can never forget the colour. Hazel with little bits of green inside them. "Nothing bad will happen." "But something bad always happens to me. I have such a bad feeling about all this and my gut never lies to me," her voice cracks at the end. "It's life and death. Nothing ever good comes out of that." A lone tear slides down her cheek and she shuts both her eyes tightly, her palms squeezing the fuck out of her thighs.

I know you're a strong independent woman that really needs to solve this and find out what's going on but stop okay? I'll take care of it." "Pinky swear?"
