"In the quiet streets of a small town in Rhode Island, where tranquility and familiarity welcome those who live there, lies a world of dark secrets and repressed emotions.

In this seemingly idyllic world full of hidden intrigue, Sebastian Vuitton is the epitome of superficial success: a rich, handsome and arrogant young man who enjoys an unrestricted life, chasing ephemeral pleasures and avoiding any real commitment.

Amy Philippe, a newcomer to the city along with her sister and cousin, carries with her a light of hope and joy in her eyes. Despite the difficulties they face as immigrants, her indomitable spirit and natural sweetness attract the attention of everyone around her.

When fate brings Sebastian and Amy together in a chance meeting, they both find themselves involved in a dance of love and tragedy that will take them to the brink of despair. In a world where secrets are commonplace and pride can be the worst enemy, Sebastian and Amy will fight to find redemption amid the shadows that threaten to consume them.

This is the story of their forbidden love, the obstacles they face and the eternal search for light in a world full of shadows."

Mano doesn't do vulnerability. Aggressive, tattooed, cold, and impossible to like, he plays the villain on purpose, because being hated is safer than being seen... and losing someone again would ruin him. Ody can't help but care. Bright, extroverted, charming and painfully sincere, he's the kind of boy who notices when you're hurting... even when you pretend you're not. He remembers your birthday, offers you the last slice, and apologizes even when it's not his fault. When their lives collide, nothing about them makes sense, except the way they keep gravitating toward each other. Sparks fly, but so do secrets, buried trauma, and a love neither of them is ready for. One of them hides behind silence. The other hides behind smiles. Together, they're wildfire.

Bad Boy's Cupid by PurpleOreo17

~Dear Cupid, I like this really cute guy from my school, except he's a bad boy and a total player. What do I do? I'm a pretty shy girl. Help! Love, Amy. ~ I read my 41st message for today. I'm no love guru or anything; though I have my ways when it comes to helping people with their love lives or relationships. I stretched my fingers and got ready onto typing once again. ~Dear Amy, I think you should get to know the 'Bad Boy' a bit more. But, like I said. You only live once. Take the chance. Be confident. If it doesn't work. Move on. I'm sure plenty of guys would love to get to know you more. Love, Violet ♥~ Now, before you say anything, I'm not really cupid, I don't have the arrows or the diapers. I like to think that where cupid shoots, I keep the arrow in tact. I help with people's love life because love is the most important and purest thing in the world. It can fix and endure anything and everything. I believe in love so much that I fell in love with bad boy Lucas Williams. This is your one of a kind Bad Boy meets Cupid, but everything isn't as it seems, heartbreak, loss, betrayal, love and everything in between. Everything has to be cliche before it gets better.
