For Maeve Gray, life is meant to be lived without regrets. A 20-year-old computer science student with an affinity for hacking, dark romance novels, and making her own rules, Maeve values her independence and freedom from societal expectations. She's as organized as she is unpredictable-until Ariston Knightly, a face from her past, returns with a chilling promise: "I will destroy you."

Ariston, a 24-year-old with dark eyes and an even darker reputation, is as powerful as he is relentless. Born into wealth and ruthlessness, he's a brilliant lawyer in the mafia world, and his loyalty to family runs deeper than blood. Maeve's words , in their fourth encounter, have only fueled his hatred. Now, Ariston is on a mission to make her regret every single one.

In a high-stakes game of sabotage, Maeve and Ariston find themselves pushing each other to the limit, both unaware of how deeply intertwined their fates have become. Will Maeve outwit Ariston's calculated vengeance, or will Ariston's obsession with strength and power bring Maeve's carefully guarded world crashing down?

Enemies by choice, bound by circumstances, their clash will either destroy them-or ignite a fire neither expected.

Though her current life is lived in a bloodbath and is full of debt, everything that has tainted her very being isn't what haunts her. Gray wants freedom, but she knows that one suspicious step can be the end for her. When Gray finally realizes that the Irish Mafia just might never let her go, she figures she's got nothing to lose. Then she meets Elijah. Full of mysteries and lies, Gray can't help but be drawn to him. His touch is like a wildfire, something Gray hasn't ever experienced before. She knows that it's next to impossible to be with someone without putting their life in danger, but little does she know that Elijah's got a whole set of secrets on his own. // I don't own any of the media that I attach to my chapters, unless I state otherwise. #myyouth #projectbadgirls #projectbadassgirls #projectbadboys
