What happens when the son of a most powerful gangster has a weakness?

Fear of Cockroaches.

If you want to take that Grinch down, just throw a cockroach at him... and run. It's that simple. 🙄

Layla Yasmin, a 17-year-old who's as strange as a roach in the kitchen at midnight, as warm as a fireplace on a frigid night, as mysterious as the night, as sweet as jasmine, as cold as winter, and as bright as the moon in the darkened sky.

Her life is about to get weird-er, thanks to her dad's marriage to the lovely Mrs. Grinch (more on her later). Ever since her father's marriage, things have been... off. Nightmares, strange visions, and her new stepfamily acting more than a little odd.

Aaron Vincenzo, better known as Mr. Grinch, is quiet, mischievous, and as grumpy as he comes. He's as cold as snow, but deep down, he just needs a warm hug to thaw his icy heart. Don't be fooled-he may kill people, but he's still a good guy. How romantic!

Anyways, he got bumped into this cockroachingly beautiful, dumbass lady who first made a disgust face at him when she first saw him because he was handsome, which made her so grossed out. How embarrassing!

Noah Vincenzo Kim - aka the smartest person in the room, aka the quietest person in the room, aka the creepiest person in the room (just kidding... or am I?). Noah is a smartbutt, quiet as a mouse, and deadly killer-considered far more dangerous than any other gangster, a true lone wolf with a mind as sharp as a blade. But really, he's just a big softie who'd rather stab you with a knife than with his words. How romantic!

𝘼𝙉: Please ignore the cringey bits. This book is still being edited, but feel free to read it anyway.

Guys, just read the freaking book, I'm really bad at providing proper description
