Camille Trois, a 22-year-old literature student with a multicultural background, arrives in New York City on a scholarship to NYU, seeking to find herself and escape the push and pull of her French and Chilean roots. Little does she know that her journey of self-discovery is about to take a dangerous and seductive turn.

On her first night in the city, Camille meets the enigmatic Steve Carlson in a dimly lit bar. Their connection is instant and electric, but Camille soon discovers that Steve is more than just a handsome stranger - he's her new roommate's soon-to-be stepfather and a biology professor at NYU.

As Camille navigates her new life in New York, she finds herself increasingly drawn into the glamorous yet complicated world of the Carlson-Hawthorne family. Lily Hawthorne, a 42-year-old fashion mogul and Steve's fiancée, seems to have it all. But beneath the surface of their picture-perfect life, tensions simmer and secrets lurk.

Despite her best efforts to focus on her studies and support her roommate Michelle, Camille can't ignore the intense attraction between her and Steve. Their stolen glances and lingering touches threaten to evolve into something more, even as Camille grapples with the moral implications of pursuing a relationship with her roommate's stepfather-to-be.

She has worked hard to rebuild herself, burying the scars from her past-both physical and emotional-beneath layers of routine and solitude. But no matter how far she runs, the shadows of her trauma linger, resurfacing as nightmares and fractured memories. As her 30th birthday approaches, her carefully constructed life begins to unravel. Haunted by a mysterious past, a protector who hides in the shadows has been watching over her for more than a decade. Adrian, a shifter whose own transformation was born out of pain and brutality, has pledged to protect Liliana at all costs. But his love for her has grown into something darker-an obsession. Torn between his desire to protect her from the men who once hurt her and his fear that she will choose another, Adrian's grip tightens as Liliana's past threatens to return. With unknown enemies hunting her, a dangerous secret lying dormant within, and Adrian's possessive love lurking in the background, Liliana's fight for control over her life grows more desperate. The line between protector and predator begins to blur as Adrian's obsession deepens, and Liliana's true power edges closer to the surface. In this haunting tale of love, trauma, and the supernatural, Darkness Between Us explores the fragile boundaries between protection and possession, the lingering grip of fear, and the power that lies hidden within the most broken of souls.

Sins On The Skin by TheAnnoyingBitch

"I want to defile you, destroy you, corrupt you in the most sinfully beautiful way. Break you until you're completely mine." "And then?" "Then I'll piece you back together, of course." He took another step in her direction, closing the distance between them. "Love can be holy." He said but the look in his eyes promised anything but. "It can be kind and gentle. It can be the flutter inside your chest when you feel someone touch you, the blush staining your cheeks when someone brushes his knuckles over them." To prove his point further, he took his knuckles and brushed them over her sharp jawline, all the way to her lightly dusted cheeks and sharp cheekbones. "However, love can also be vile. Dark and all-consuming. The kind of love that makes you want to fall to your knees and let it destroy you." He let his palm rest on her soft skin and felt the warmth she provided so carelessly travel to him. "That's all I can offer you." Nathaniel Russ is a man devoid of passion. Cold, stern, a tragedy with skin. A wreckage just seconds before the crash. A writer.
