There are things in the world that will do everything they can to ensure those who wish nothing more than a simple life are dragged into the muck and chaos of conflict.
Sometimes, the reasons are convoluted.
Sometimes, they're more simple to understand than one would wish.

The Artificial Hero: Viscidity
Do you know what it's like to live your life without control? To be a slave to the desires of another? Minoru did. Every day of his life, the pressure bore down on his shoulders with increasing weight as expectations grew higher and higher. Once there was a time when he wanted the one controlling him to be proud, and even now he still told himself that lie. But in truth, he obeyed out of fear, and the monster born of his suppressed rage simmered below so far down he thought it lost. But the beast would not be so easily forgotten. "You will become a hero Minoru. Even if I have to make you into one myself." Sometimes the world has too many heroes. Sometimes . . . it needs a monster.Complete![[MC #4] Mafia's Angel](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/341446114-256-k628321.jpg)
[MC #4] Mafia's Angel
"Everything is an act. My bright smile, my happy face, my friendly attitude. I acted like I was fine when I was in that hell, and I'm doing the same now - I pretend that what happened hasn't affected me. My happy smile is a mask concealing the darkness that has claimed my soul. I pretend I'm okay, but inside I'm dying. And then, all of a sudden, he appeared. For some reason, he started showing me the sweet affection I used to crave. Now... I no longer want nor need it. Emotions are a luxury I can't afford. He calls me an angel, not even realizing the irony of the name. I'm anything but pure. I have fallen and I can't rise."Complete

FINDING June
{Completed} When we got hurt as children, we went running to our parents, they would scold us and treat the wound until it was cured. As we become older, we realize that the wounds we show our parents are the ones that heal quickly because some wounds never completely heal.

BROKEN VOWS (Lucas & Emilia Book 1)
Choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved... including her. It's why I left the small town where I grew up and vowed never to return. I'm no longer the "golden boy with a bright future" they all remember. Instead, I carry the scars of a tortured past. A broken man deemed unfit, even by the Navy SEALs he'd dedicated the past decade to serve. What was supposed to be a quick trip to sell my parents' property turned into this twisted journey that forced me to confront my demons. And then there she was. My first love, and deepest regret. The woman who still owns every piece of my blackened heart. When she asked for my time, I couldn't refuse. Now I can't walk away. Not after hearing of the danger her husband, a missing FBI agent, has brought to her doorstep. After everything, I owe her my help. It's why I offer to protect her and her two little girls from the danger circling them. It's a vow I never should have made, given the trail of bodies I've left in my wake. Like the harbinger of death, I'm the last man either of us should trust. In the Broken Redemption Series, one man's vow to protect the woman he lost becomes a battle between redemption, forgiveness, and the kind of love that refuses to let go. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lucas & Emilia's story begins here: Book 1 of their Broken Redemption arc. Each couple's love story in the Broken Redemption Series is told over multiple books and forms a complete arc within this collection of connected romances set in the small town of Ruby Creek. There's no required reading order, but if you'd like to start at the very beginning, you're right where you belong. Lucas & Emilia are the first couple, followed by James & Annelly, whose story begins with Broken Misery (Broken Redemption Series - Book 1 of their arc).Complete
