Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her. My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again." I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in." "And? You think they want to watch? Shit, I would." _____________________________________ ~Maya Castillo~ Escaping her traumatic past, Maya and her brother, Santiago, run to New York.

DEADLY DECEPTION
#BOOK 1 of The Deadly Series In a world where trust is a luxury, secrets are deadly, and love is the most dangerous weapon of all... Avery Caine thought she was just another orphan with a quiet life-until the brutal murder of her guardian shatters everything she knows. Now, hunted and tangled in a past she doesn't remember, she has only one choice: trust him. Rick Conrad. Cold. Dangerous. A man with too many demons and not enough patience. He works in the shadows, fueled by vengeance, but when his path collides with Avery's, the last thing he expects is her-defiant, tempting, and completely off-limits. But danger has a way of pulling people together. And sometimes, the line between hate and desire is razor-thin. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔥 "Piccola," he murmured, tilting his head slightly. His voice was smooth-dangerous in the way it sent a shiver down my spine. "Even when I've warned you a million times about rolling your eyes at me... you still make the same mistake." My throat dried. He leaned in, his lips ghosting over the shell of my ear. His next words were a slow, deliberate whisper. "Or maybe..." His fingers trailed up my arm, featherlight. "You do it on purpose." I swallowed hard. "Maybe you want to make the same mistake again and again... just to be punished." My breath hitched. I bit my lip, and the moment I did, his gaze dropped-straight to my mouth. Something in his eyes flickered. Darkened. Before I could even think, his lips crashed against mine-hard, demanding, leaving no room for hesitation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As enemies close in and the past refuses to stay buried, Avery and Rick must decide-survive apart or burn together. One thing's for sure. They were never meant to fall in love. But it's far too late for that.Complete

I whisper to her, silently begging her to believe me, but a part of me is begging her not to.

Locked( Book 1)
When the Kidnapper Isn't the Monster Addison Williams never planned to survive a kidnapping with her sisters and walk away believing the man who took them might be the only one who can keep them alive. Derek Sanchez has rules: get the girls, make the drop, don't ask why. But the job rots the second he sees what he's really delivering them into. One choice shatters the chain of command-and turns captor into reluctant protector. On the run from the people who ordered the snatch, Addison and Derek vanish into back roads and borrowed nights. Hiding becomes a brutal routine: new names, cash-only motels, a wolf's eyes glinting from the treeline, and the kind of danger that teaches you who someone is when there's nowhere left to hide. The deeper they dig, the clearer it gets-Derek isn't the architect of the crime. He's the loose end a much higher power needs cut. Addison should hate him. Instead, she starts to see the man behind the mask-the one who bandages wounds, takes the hits, and would torch his life to get her sisters home. But saving them means exposing a syndicate with reach in every direction... and choosing whether to trust the criminal who stole her-now the only person she can't bear to lose. Captured. Falling. Running. Fighting back. This is the year everything changed-for Addison, for her sisters, and for the man who was never supposed to care.Complete
