Eve Black
Meet Eve Black: I decided to flirt with the guy that did it, "Heyyyy cutie," I say with a wink. "Hey, pretty lady," he says in a gross seductive tone. I can't deny that he is very handsome. He had piercing green eyes that would make any girl go weak at the knees. But I am not any girl. "Can I ask you something?" before he could respond I continue, "Why did you try to drug me?" He looks shocked as my tone went from flirtatious to serious in a matter of two seconds. "Well, I have no idea what you are talking about," he says while slightly panicking. I stand up, "Well if you don't know what I am talking about then why don't you take a sip of my drink?" a few heads turned our way and start watching. "N-no I am good," he stammers confirming that he did in fact try to drug me as I suspected. "You know what, I don't give a damn what you say you 'don't know anything about' because I know what you tried to do to me." I pick up my drink and smash the glass on his head. I watch as the pink drink that was in the glass stains his white button-up collar shirt and his face turns red with anger and embarrassment. As I am walking out I yell back, "You know damn well what you did too." I flip him the bird and I leave the bar and Hazel and all her friends behind. *** Book Cover done by @_navyblueee_Complete

Evelyn is the pure soul, with the past so horrible that is still hunting her dreams and the future, which promises her even more danger. Their meeting was something none of them expected and it changed everything forever. *** "Damian!" She screamed and hit him on the chest. "Are you serious? Are you really saying that?" Her already damped eyes poured the hot tears. "I'm serious!" He hissed. "Let me go!" She wiggled in his arms and he loosened his grip. "Are you out of your mind?" She screamed. "No, it's you who is out of the mind, for thinking you could fool me." He said and gulped seeing how the rain soaked her completely and that silk dress clinged to her bare body. "You were in the house while everyone was fighting outside. You sneaked in my office! Tell me what information have you sent!" He spat. "I... I have done nothing... Just locked the door." She trembled, afraid of everything and everyone now. "Is that so? Okay." He laughed. "When I'm done with you, you will sing everything." He hissed and grabbed her again. "Damian! Let me go! You are scaring me!" She was now hysterical. "That's good." He growled and opened the car door, which Evelyn didn't notice how got in there. "What are you doing." She screamed but he didn't pay any attention to her pleas and shoved her in the backseat, locking the car again. *** Mature content. ©All rights reserved.Complete

How can it be wrong if it feels so fucking right? ... And then his mouth was on mine. It wasn't soft. It wasn't careful. It was a collision of teeth, breath, desperation and fucking vodka. My back hit the mirror, the cracked glass rattling as his hands slid up my thighs, gripping, lifting me like I weighed nothing. "Lorenzo-" "Shut up," he rasped against my lips, kissing me harder. "Just - shut up." I clawed at his shoulders, nails digging into his skin through the thin fabric of his shirt. He groaned, the sound vibrating against my mouth, and pressed closer, his hips slotting between my legs as he pinned me to the mirror. Every inch of me screamed to shove him away. Every inch of me burned to pull him closer. His hands were everywhere, spreading over my waist, skimming up my sides, catching my jaw to tilt my head just so as his mouth devoured mine. The cracked mirror dug cold into my back, but the heat of him was a wildfire swallowing me whole. "You hate me, remember?" he muttered against my mouth, biting my bottom lip before sucking it back into a kiss. "I do," I gasped, nails scraping down his arms. "Good," he said darkly, kissing me again, harder this time. "Hate me harder." I did. I kissed him like it was a fight, like it was revenge, like it was the only way to breathe. ... fractured love trilogy #2 [can be read as a standalone]
Marked by blood
In the harsh streets of Naples, amidst a cold, rainy night, stands an eight-year-old girl, carrying on her shoulders a past heavier than her years. Marie... a girl who wasn't born an orphan, but fate stole her mother, then her innocence at the hands of a father addicted to alcohol and gambling, before tossing her out of his life like a worn-out piece of cloth. But in a moment of despair and loss, a luxurious black car stopped, and a man named Lorenzo Marini stepped out... a mysterious businessman who lived between the luxury watch trade and, beneath it, the illicit arms trade. He adopted her, hid her from the world, and raised her in the shadows, far from the eyes of his four children... children who had no idea of her existence. Fifteen years later, when he reunites them in the family mansion, he announces his intention to marry. The children prepare to confront the strange woman their father will marry... But the shock lies not in the woman, but in Marie herself. The little girl who has grown into a beautiful young woman holds within her a remarkable power and a secret that could tear the family apart... or bring it back together. But will they fall in love with her? Or into her trap? And does Lorenzo truly want the best for her... or is he manipulating her as part of a game much bigger than love?Complete
