Her secrets are chasing her. His are waiting to catch up.
Moving in with my older brother was supposed to be a clean slate. A chance to outrun the past I've worked so hard to bury. Then I met Maddox Ashley. My brother's best friend. My new roommate. And the walking storm I never saw coming.
From the moment his dark eyes land on me, I know I've stepped into something dangerous. Maddox thrives in the very shadows I've spent years clawing my way out of. He's cold. Sharp. Unforgiving. And somehow, he sees straight through me.
But he has secrets, too. Ones that might just be as twisted as mine.
We come from different sides of the same darkness-scarred, silent, and steeped in things we can't name. His hatred toward me burns with something deeper than anger. And I can't tell if he wants to destroy me... or save me.
Two broken souls. One shared past.
In a house full of tension and lies, the truth may be the deadliest thing we uncover.

Does It Still Hurt?
Copyright© He held me and asked "what's wrong?" I looked at his beautiful forest green eyes and smiled and said "I'm fine." He spoke once again, "what's behind that pretty little smile of yours?" My breath got caught in my throat, suddenly I couldn't move. He just stared at me with his beautiful eyes. I was done, I know he's going to be the death of me. 'Did he figure me out?' I questioned inside of my head. He continued to stare at my big brown eyes. He finally leans in and my heart drops for a moment. 'Is this really happening? Am I gonna kiss Xavier Sebastian King today? At this very moment?' I questioned my myself, gulping before I shut my eyes tight.

His Heart, Mine
She swears she hates him. He's convinced he hates her more. But when secrets, lies, and late-night whispers begin to blur the line between enemies and something they wouldn't even consider, neither of them is ready for what's coming. *** Aliana is loud, impulsive, and dangerously unpredictable. She lies when she's scared, smiles when she's breaking, and keeps everyone away with her endless sarcasm and sharp tongue. She doesn't need anyone. Especially not him. Ali is silent storms and cold stares. The boy with the bad reputation, a past no one talks about, and a temper that makes people flinch. He wants nothing to do with drama, especially when it wears red lipstick and calls him names. They can't stand each other. So why do they keep ending up alone in the same room? Why does every fight feel like foreplay? And why does hating him hurt more than it should? ~~~~~~ He kisses me, again and again, raw and consuming, and then pulls away; I can feel his green eyes piercing my soul. "What you told me last time, say it again," he whimpers breathlessly. "What?" I manage to ask, confused, and reel him in again for another kiss. He pulls back again, his breath hot against my skin. "That you hate me, tell me that you hate me." "I hate you," I tell him almost instantly, the lie burning on my tongue. He kisses me harder and more hungrily, and the words slip out again from my tongue: "I hate you. I hate you. I hate you." His murmurs deepen into groans, and at this exact moment, I ask myself how I'm still standing, still breathing, still present. ~~~~~~Complete

Cold shot
First book 🏒. Starting college was supposed to be Violet Vale's escape plan. New country. New city. New campus. And then there's Ethan Maddox-tattoos inked like warnings, that infuriating smirk, and a six-foot-five presence that fills every room like he owns it. Her brother's best friend. Her worst enemy. And now? Her accidental shadow at Northbridge University. Violet's spent years trading insults and eye-rolls with Ethan, ever since he became an honorary part of her family. But there's nothing brotherly about the way he looks at her now-or the way her pulse reacts when he calls her Vi like it's some kind of challenge. He's cocky. Infuriating. One year older. And the only person on campus who makes her feel anything at all. They're not friends. Definitely not something more. But the line between hate and something far messier is starting to blur. And when hearts get tangled... Someone's going to fall. Warning: May contain profanity and sexual content.Complete

Seven of them to be exact. She quickly comes to realize that her comfort-zone doesn't exist here, and everything is big, scary, and intimidating. Just like her brother's best friend.

Spades and Angels
Maddox: She was everything I couldn't have. Beautiful, smart, driven and sassy. Super sarcastic, and feisty and pushed my buttons at every opportunity but still, she drove me wild. The one problem? She's a Silver Spade girl and I belong to the Cardinal Angels. I wanted to get her out of my mind but her elusive beauty drove me to keep looking. Keep digging and eventually found myself trapped helping her out of a situation she should never have been in when I vowed to leave her be once I knew who she was. Even if she didn't want my help and reminded me so enough times to make me want to hate her, I never could, not when I found myself falling for her instead. Our paths crossed by chance one night and that was it. I knew I had to talk to her again, to have her. Even if it killed me in the process. Lolita: A charismatic stranger and an argumentative conversation at a bar. The kind of place I habitually avoided unless I had no choice. Yet after that one encounter, I can't get the sarcastic and aggravating stranger out of my mind. Driven mad by thoughts of meeting him again even just to ask for a name, I never imagined that this small thought would develop into an obsessive attraction to the enemy. He never told me his name but he didn't have to, his signature angel wing tattoo told me all I needed to know. He was danger in its most concentrated form, but all that did was get me obsessed more since I'd never been good at staying away from what I couldn't have. I hated him, then it became something more. I said I hated him, but that was a lie, even if I wish it weren't. On the wrong side of the tracks one night two paths crossed by accident and ignited a burning flame. You know what they all say: it's a thin line between love and hate. A Trial of Spades and Angels NovelComplete
