"I hate you, Jace. I wish we had never met. I want you to leave me alone, forever." Jace's eyes narrow, his lips pressing into a thin, hard line. His hand tightens around my neck, just enough to send a cold shiver down my spine as I struggle to catch my breath. I avert my gaze, focusing anywhere but on him, desperately trying to steady my nerves.

"You don't hate me, Anabella..." His voice trails off as he grips my jaw, forcing me to meet his eyes. "In fact, I bet you're aching for me right now." He whispers, his voice dripping with seduction.

Anabella had always dreamed of living on the West Coast. A few months after turning 23, she makes the leap and moves to San Diego, California, following a tough breakup with her long-term boyfriend. She lands a well-paying job as a barista and, to her delight, finds a best friend-something she had always deeply craved. 

Then, she meets her best friend's cousin, Jace Easton. By day, Jace runs a successful business, but by night, he's a thrill-seeking street racer. Anabella promises herself she'll stay away from him, but the magnetic pull of his dangerous allure makes it impossible. Jace, on the other hand, has his sights set on her-and only her. What Anabella doesn't realize yet is that she's falling for the devil himself. And sometimes, you can't help who you're drawn to.

Guardians of Freecaster High #1 "That doesn't make any sense. You were the one who left me. You didn't care anymore." "If I didn't care, Alexis, then why is it I can't touch another girl unless I'm imagining you?" He pushes against me, trapping me against the wall, his minty beer breath skating across my lips.

|18+| "Enough is enough," she said to herself. "I'm going to ask him out." Getting up from her seat, she walked over to where he was seated. "Um, hi! I was wondering if we could grab some coffee and maybe hang out sometime?" she asked nervously. He turned to her, a sense of darkness and danger emanating from him. Her body went on alert. "You shouldn't be able to see me," he said with a smiling like a Cheshire cat. . . . "I scratch and bite" she warned "You'll crawl and beg too" he smirked. . . . The Ripple She hardly has time to breathe, much less dream, considering that she is juggling two difficult jobs. One face, nevertheless, sticks out in the midst of the chaos of her daily subway rides: a mysterious guy whom she covertly refers to as "the subway hottie." His mysterious presence becomes the high point of her daily routine-a secret joy. However, one day, with an unusual burst of courage, she dares to break the silence between them. What starts off as a brief connection quickly develops into something forbidden and thrilling.

But his well-laid schemes fall apart when she gets in his way. His icy determination starts to soften for the first time, and he has to decide whether seeking vengeance is worth losing the one thing he never thought he deserved-her. 𝔘𝔫𝔡𝔢𝔯 𝔠𝔬𝔫𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔲𝔠𝔱𝔦𝔬
