***Author's Note: This is the 2nd Installment of the 'American Bad Blood' Spin-Off Series. Please make sure to check out 'American Bad Blood' & 'American Bad Blood: City of Gold' by LePetiteJournaliste as well as my 1st novel of the Spin-Off Series 'Distortion' before reading 'Spotlight'. ***
Heartbreak is hard, but when Eliza gets forced into the world of paparazzi, media, and fame, all thanks to the new 'Golden Boy' socialite Nick Hudson, life is even more complicated. Family wishes and astonishing revelations force her to protect her broken heart from the outside world in an unexpected way. Protecting her vulnerable state of mind while protecting the one she truly loves despite the truth behind him, makes her life extremely convoluted and confusing, especially now that her life is center stage and completely exposed in the spotlight of the extremely popular Media Mogul bachelor Nick Hudson.
Meanwhile, Aidan steps up to a new mantle on top of playing as many sides as he can in order to get Eliza back. But what does he lose in the process? Will he ever get Eliza back?
***FULL DISCLAIMER: This book is for mature audiences! There's the possibility of sexual scenes, as well as some sexual and physical *abuse* scenes, and possible murder scenarios. It's basically in the description, it's a MAFIA/CRIME Romance Novel.

DREW #COMPLETED
*****-"I've told you I'm not good for you." -he whispered still kissing her, lifting her so that her legs were already around his waist, now bringing them both back to the bed, laying on top of her proceeding to kiss her like it was the only thing he ever wanted to do in his life. But she responded with the same passion, every kiss, every touch, now taking off his shirt and unzipping his pants. She wasn't thinking. She surrendered. .... -"Fuck you Emma for doing this to me." -he whispered hearing her painful moan once he was inside of her. He felt cheated but he couldn't stop.***** This is a story about Andrew Smith, a 17-year old highschool student who is known not only as the school's bad boy but also a criminal and gangster with troubled life. His only goal is to move out of his home that he shares with his always drunk stepfather Bill and take his little sister with him. But once he meets Emma Garcia, straight A's popular but innocent girl from his school, the question is, will his plan change? This is a spin-off story from "Now You Are Mine" involving the backstory of a "Drew" character. Even though this story is connected to NYAM, you don't have to read both of them. Parts of those two stories do intervene and they share the same timeline. I suggest you read them both, but again it's not crucial for understanding each one of them. Also, the story is not suitable for those younger than 18 since it includes mature scenes of sex, violence, abuse etc., which are not by any means condoned by the author. With that said, thank you for reading and I hope you'll enjoy it! ps. I'm updating often.Complete

The King of New York {1}
UNEDITED WATTPAD VERSION! (This is the arguably rubbish version, ye be warned.) Includes a sample of the published version as well *** Life would be so much easier if he wasn't around, but even I couldn't deny that my life seemed to truly begin since his arrival. Had Lucifer truly been kicked out of heaven because of his own cravings for power, or had he fled after realizing his true happiness lied elsewhere, in a darker atmosphere? In this world, there is strictly no good or bad, no clear right or wrong. We make poor decisions, hoping it will prove worthy in the end. When it does, we never look back, but when it doesn't, it tears us apart like ravaged hell hounds. Perhaps we're all the product of Lucifer and God alike. Born from beauty only to fall to desire. *** When young baker Rosaria Castellanos is offered a chance to pay her parent's debts to the infamous Romano mafia family by a simple favor, she takes it in a heartbeat. Everyone expected a happy italian wedding, with too much wine to handle and lots of singing. Cater pastries, and don't die? Sounds easy enough. Nobody expected her to catch the eye of the young boss, Giovanni Romano, nicknamed 'The King of New York' for good reason. Unknowingly bound to the mafia by birthright, introduced by a dangerous love, Rosaria's identity will soon be forged. An unlikely heroine, imperfect and anxious, must grow through struggles and gang violence to save those around her. In even the darkest of places, love can bloom. Perhaps even in the mafia. - Side note: Warning: mature sexual scenes, swearing, violence ✨Milestones ✨ Featured on Wattpad's Dangerouslove profile #3 in Thrill -9/7/20 #32 in Mature -9/7/20 #42 in Mafia -3/10/20 #45 in Love -9/7/20 ~ Dates ~ WP Start: October 19th 2019 Finished: December 1st 2020 Published: February 14th 2021Complete
