Aalix Drake pulled me unconscious from a river on the worst night of my life. The first thing I noticed that night, even before the pain from my recent injuries, was the torment in the depths of his haunting blue eyes. For the first time in my life, I came face-to-face with someone whose past traumas rivaled my own.

I couldn't have known then that the darkness in our pasts overlapped or how seemingly insurmountable the overlap would reveal itself to be.

Book Two in the Hail Royalty Duology ARTEMIO ROME: He's an error in my code. Griffin Knight. He's not supposed to crawl under my skin and hibernate there when I thought I extracted him a year and a half ago. I never needed his fake promises of a future with rose pedals and smiles. I've walked down that road before, and I refuse to bow at another man's feet. I will not be ruined a second time, and I most certainly will not be ruined by Griffin Knight. All love has shown me are the ways I don't deserve it, so I put an ocean and a block list between Griffin and me. So, why is it the minute I set foot back on U.S. soil, I am automatically magnetized to the one I tried so hard to leave behind? Not only am I forced to work with him toward my best friend, Prince Cyprus, wedding day, why does he have to be Evander's best man? Also, why? Just why was he recruited as a model by my Mother for my debut fashion line? Why do I have to go through the torture of seeing him in close quarters almost every day? And why is he suddenly starting to notice the signs of my past that I've worked so hard to keep hidden? Why is my guard slipping around him? Why does his touch promise safety and security, when I'm never supposed to know what that feels like? I don't even like to be touched, but why do I start to crave his? No, he can't slip past my walls. He'll see everything. He'll see every weakness I've worked so hard to keep hidden. And he'll see nothing except the dead shell of a person I mask like an expert. But why does it seem like every time he looks at me and sees through my facade... that he wants to bring me back to life? He's an error in my code. But I suppose errors can lead you toward something you swore you never deserved. Love.

✔️ | After swearing off relationships, I never thought I'd fall for my one night stand. A complete stranger. Months of searching and unsuccessfully finding this man, I've begun to lose all hope. Little did I know, I would be meeting the gorgeous green eyed man again. But will it be everything I've been expecting it to be? Or will the darkness from the past be too much to handle? I remember his exact words of that night 6 months ago... "I don't usually do this but... Do y-you want to get out of here?" He whispered seductively in my ear. That night... Well, it was the best night of my life. Highest Rankings: Thanks for the support, I feel awesome even having these in the top 1000!
