With suspicions, betrayals, and a mysterious figure in the woods, will she find out Carmine's long buried secret?

In a world where love twists into obsession and loyalty battles betrayal, four lives collide in a haunting dance of secrets, power, and desire. When hearts are bound by shadows and every promise is laced with deceit, the line between passion and possession blurs. In this tale of dark romance, one woman's sacrifice and another's broken heart spark a descent into a love that knows no mercy-and revenge that knows no end. He is the untouchable, the heir, the one who holds every heart in his cold, unyielding grip. She is the quiet observer, the girl who hides her feelings in the shadows-until he makes her sister his pawn in a cruel game of deceit. When love becomes a weapon and trust a distant memory, the lives of three young souls spiral into a web of seduction, obsession, and vengeance. A forbidden marriage binds two enemies in a twisted embrace, but hatred is only a spark waiting to ignite. He wants control; she wants freedom. Yet, as their lives intertwine in a dangerous dance, desire takes root in places neither of them expect. But shadows lurk in every corner, and buried truths threaten to shatter even the strongest heart. Can anyone survive a love that devours, a betrayal that cuts deeper than any wound, and a revenge that knows no bounds? How far would you go to keep what you can't bear to lose?

Yuji Itadori has always struggled with the fine line between duty and desire. As a student at Jujutsu High, he's faced countless dangers, but nothing compares to the invisible force pulling him toward his enigmatic teacher, Satoru Gojo. Despite Gojo's undeniable power and charm, their relationship is far from simple. In the shadows of life-or-death missions and dark secrets, Yuji and Gojo's bond grows more complicated with every encounter. Yuji can't deny the growing feelings he has for Gojo, but he doesn't want to be another pawn in his teacher's intricate game.

With powerful enemies and unpredictable allies, the stakes are higher than ever. Their connection is more than just a teacher-student dynamic-it's a battle for control, for answers, and for something neither of them may be ready for. Infinity Between Us is a slow-burn romance, filled with intense missions, moments of vulnerability, and a relationship that might just be their greatest challenge yet. Can Yuji navigate the complexities of his feelings without losing himself, or will the infinity between them be too much to handle?

Is this forbidden love another sacrifice she has to suffer through? For nineteen years, Kira Evans put her family above her own interests. No friends, no boyfriends, no going out, no teenage experiences. Now she's in England, away from all the reasons that made her sacrifice herself for her mother and siblings. Finishing high school in a sixth form college, she doesn't know how to make friends, relate to others, or even understand them after the horrors she's been through. Reizu Atkinson is not your average run-of-the-mill teacher. Half Japanese, half English, he knows from experience what it's like to feel alienated in a new place, unable to trust or understand others. The pair is brought together by their similarities, and Reizu becomes the only one Kira can trust when life throws her curveball after curveball. When push comes to shove, are rules meant to be broken, or is this another sacrifice that Kira will have to make? (This book is on sale at Smashwords, as well.)
