Elaine Daniels has given up. Her view on the world has been shrouded in hurt and anger. As far as she's concerned, there's nothing left in this life for her. With a shattered home life and a shattered sense of self, she finds herself stuck in the cycle of self destruction. If life is already encompassing her in darkness, what's stopping her from catapulting herself into chaos?
Absolutely nothing.
Or so she thought.
As someone already careless about her life and wellbeing, she'll have to choose between that mindset and the will to survive. Life could be much worse than it is now for Ms. Elaine Daniels, as she's about to find out.
This may be triggering to some readers:
Contains self harm, verbal abuse, under-age drinking, and quite a bit of cursing.

It is given to you, to determine what man or woman should be your lover. Who should be with you forever once you find them. If you find them. It's a mark that is only half-finished, the other half left on your soulmate's body. Heat emerges on the area of your mark when they're near, and cold grows the farther you are apart.

BEFORE YOU READ: This is a slowburn and some things may not make sense since the book is only half edited, but it will be when I'm done with the book. -------------------------- Her life has always been a battlefield... shaped by a violent father, marked by loss, and destroyed again by a boyfriend who treated her like a possession. She's learned to survive by staying small and unseen. But the day the school is plastered with naked photos of her, she becomes impossible to ignore. And the first to notice are the last men anyone would want watching: The Devils. Four teachers. Four kings of a hidden mafia network. Four predators with iron reputations and blood on their hands. When she breaks down at school, they're the ones who catch her. They tell themselves it's responsibility, nothing more. But the deeper they delve into her life, the harder it becomes to pretend they don't care. She awakens something in them... something protective, possessive, and dangerously close to tender. What starts with a rescue becomes the beginning of a bond that threatens their rules... and her already fragile world.
