Burning Desire (Lost&Found Series) ✔
This is book two in the Lost&Found Series but can be read as a stand alone. *** I heard the bag drop on the table before he grabbed my elbow and spun me around. His hand cupped my chin as he made me look in his eyes. "So much anger, piccola raggazza." he said as his eyes darted back and forth between mine. My lips parted as I looked in his grey orbs which he inherited from his father. Sharp, defined jaw and pointy noise with his upper lip thin and bottom, thick. "I'm not angry at you. Your presence and absence are of little importance to me." I stated and looked away. "You grew up in my arms, I know you like the back of my hand." he told as his thumb applied pressure on my jaw to tilt my face towards his. I blinked and looked at him blankly not wanting to give away the fact that I was literally melting in his arms like a puddle. "You're not worthy of my any emotion or feeling. You're mistaken if you think I care." I stated in a matter of factly tone. *** Returning home after four years, Sylvia Mancini will encounter a lot more than she has anticipated.

"I've imagined doing so much to you," he murmured. His thumb pressed gently into the center of my neck as his eyes stayed locked on my lips. _____________ Ares Salvatore's world was a fortress he built himself - cold, impenetrable, and a refuge where no one dared to enter. But then Petra Ramirez stormed into his life like a hurricane, shattering the walls he'd carefully erected and becoming the key to unlock the one thing he'd sworn to keep hidden: his heart 🔑.
Dark Devotion 18+
"I don't want you like men want women." His lips grazed her forehead, then her temple. His breath was ragged. "I want you like a curse wants a victim. Like fire wants oxygen.
