Tamara thought she had left her past behind-escaped the shadows, the fear, the man who tried to destroy her family. But moving to Los Angeles isn't exactly a fresh start... it's a city of secrets, new challenges, and unexpected love.
With her resilient mother and little brother by her side, Tamara navigates high school, friendships, and the heartbreaks of growing up-while trying to keep her past buried. And then there's Jay... her longtime friend from Paris, who knows parts of her story she thought no one could ever see.
In a life where every choice matters, can Tamara rewrite her destiny without losing herself-or her chance at love?

In Love with the Badass Gangster-Series 2 [R-18] | ✔
In a world of neon lights, pounding bass, and nights that blur into mornings, she swears she's untouchable. Love is a curse she's learned to dodge, a poison she refuses to taste. Her life is simple: survive the chaos, drown the silence, and never let anyone close enough to matter. Then he appears-danger wrapped in a smirk, a disaster in human form. Everyone warns her about him, but fate has a twisted sense of humor. What starts as a game-one she thinks she controls-spirals into something deeper, darker, and far more dangerous. He won't leave her alone. She won't back down. And somewhere between the teasing, the tension, and the night after night of unresolved electricity, she starts to fall. But falling for him has a price. Because he isn't searching for love. He's searching for a cure-for someone to numb the chaos he carries like a second skin. And she refuses to become anyone's temporary fix. This is a story of two broken flames drawn to each other in the dark-burning bright, burning fast, burning wrong. A love they never wanted. A disaster they never saw coming. ----- [MUST READ!!: The photos I used on the book cover are not mine, and I just borrowed them.

The Run ©2014 Sydney Wray
"Who the hell are you?" A boy demanded. He had tousled, chestnut hair. His green eyes were wide with confusion and red from irritation. The boy was also shirtless, paired with red and blue striped boxers. He was, after all, attractive. His abs shown a deep indent in his chest and I forced my eyes not to linger. "Who are you?" I sputtered. He squinted. "I'd like to think you have the common decency to answer me first. You just sprayed me with mace." I frowned, not enjoying his attitude, and crossed my arms over my chest. "Lindsey. Lavender's best friend." I explained as if he should've known. "Oh I'm sorry that wasn't included in the handbook." He spit. I smirked. "Well I'm sleeping here." "So am I."

With The Bad Boy ✔
"I wouldn't mind watching you. Maybe we could tan together this summer." He suggested. "Without having tan lines." I could feel the smirk playing on his lips. I lightly slapped his chest. "Don't ruin my mood with your cockiness." "I think I made it a lot better." "Well, keep going and you'll have to deal with your boner yourself." I teased. "Why does it always come back to my boner?" He asked with a smile playing on his lips. "Because it's just so huge." I said absentmindedly. "Is it now?" He raised a brow at me. I stripped myself away from him and pouted as I folded my arms across my chest. "That's not what I was supposed to say." "Hmm," He nodded. "What were you supposed to say then?" "That it's just as annoying as you." I laughed. SUMMARY: After the death of her father, Blake moves in with her estranged mother and twin sister.
