THIS IS THE UNEDITED/UNREVISED VERSION. AVAILABLE INLY UNTIL THE BOOKS RELEASE IN 2027
Ten years ago Zoe and Romans lives imploded and the fall out tore them apart.
When Zoes brother and Romans best friend Will died at a party their lives were forever changed. Having lost the two most important men in her life Zoe has spent the last 10 years using her family's influence to dig into what really happened to her brother and why.
Now ten years after they last saw each other, fate brings Zoe and Roman back together again in the most unlikely place. Neither of them is prepared to see each other again, certainly not when danger is so close already.
Zoe Carter is finally getting help from a special agent in hunting down the people involved in her brothers death. As it becomes apparent they will need some help from another agency she reluctantly agrees not knowing it would bring back into her life the man who abandoned her hen she needed him most.
Roman Dupont is no longer the bad boy 20year old he was when he left New York to join the Navy. He's a SEAL now and his whole team just got handed over to aid the DEA in the investigation of a drug and human trafficking ring. They're supposed to be meeting an undercover informant when she walks in.
Zoe is not the 18 year old girl he remembers in his dreams. She is a determined woman who will now haunt him for the rest of his life.
He's determined to stay away from her but as the investigation heats up so do they.
Being forced to work together in a way none of the could have prepared for may just push them back together or tear them apart for good.

[[NOTE]] Unedited This book, as well as the others in the trilogy will be written in the third person so please be nice as I just want to change things up a bit. I know it might not be good so constructive criticism is welcome. This series will focus more on the mystery so the romance is a subplot. But it's still there. At least I hope it is but IDK 😭 TOXIC! Do not think this is a cute and fluffy romance. They try to kill each other, literally.

Unfortunately, there is only one target they have both sworn the kill so and only one can leave Archigram alive. Soon lives will change. Hearts will meet. Secrets will be exposed. Treachery will be uncovered. Plots will be disrupted. Fights had. Tears will be shed. Chases will happen. She doesn't know the biggest danger on this mission isn't for once her. Violence, Action, Danger from the out. Scenes of passionate frank unapologetic romance. Dialogue of sassy, cruel and sarcastic nature which may peeve. Some scenes containing gigantic machinery, megastructures and hard SciFi. Transgendered characters. Occasionally scientifically accurate descriptions which should be read at the reader's discretion. Other Stuff. No Harry Styles was harmed in the writing of this novel. May contain nuts. An unsuitable plot for those doing Algebra homework. I saw the lint of danger in his black eyes and knew he wasn't kidding. Time for a new heroin - Feisty, sexy, confident. New Chapters Every Thursday - Trust us, We Deliver. we defy you to find someone who says we ever missed a deadline or dropped a book halfway.

Broken | Lucas North - Spooks/MI5 Story [Featured]
*Wattpad Featured Story* A year before MI5 spy Lucas North ends up in Russian prison for 8 years, there is Alexa George, a woman he rescues as a favor to his boss, Harry Pearce. But when Lucas gains his freedom as part of a prisoner exchange, his return to London sets off a series of events that threaten to reveal the truth behind the people who aren't exactly who they appear to be - including Lucas and Alexa. This story takes place between Season 7, episodes 1 - 2 for Chapter 1 - 2 of the BBC series Spooks/MI5; and between episodes 2 and 3 for the rest of the chapters. All events happen before episode 3 when Ben Kaplan goes undercover for a radical Muslim group. There will be references made to events that do occur towards the end of Season 7. If you're a fan of Season 1, you'll also discover an old face - Jools Siviter, one of my favorite recurring characters who always kept Harry on his toes! Played to perfection by none other than Hugh Laurie, Siviter is a juicy character indeed! Just like the series this story is based on (Spooks/MI5) "Broken - MI5/Lucas North" contains scenes that depict violence as well as some mature content. Please take this in consideration before reading. Disclaimer: All publicly recognizable characters, settings, etc. are the property of Kudos and BBC.

Starving for love
Zoe Adam was a master at pretending. At eighteen, she'd perfected the art of silence, smiling when expected, nodding at the right moments, keeping her secrets tucked away in her heart. It was safer that way. With three siblings, a chaotic dysfunctional Latin household, and parents who wore kindness like a mask, Zoe learned early that love could sting just as easily as it could soothe. Her mother could call her mi vida in one breath, then leave bruises seen and unseen in the next. Her father? He floated in and out, too wrapped in his own storms to notice the ones he left behind. None knew anything. her sisters who witnessed everything but didn't say anything, had their own shields. Not her brother, who tried to be the hero but never saw what needed saving. Zoe kept everything locked inside her feelings, her loneliness, her hunger, her ache, her need until even she forgot what it felt like to be full. Then came Hayden Reid. Nineteen, half-Italian and Puerto Rican, . He moved to London that summer, taking the flat right next door. To most, he was just the new guy with the sharp jaw, quiet hazel eyes, and that permanent don't-get-too-close look. But to Zoe, he was more than that. He was her brother's best friend. The boy who used to tease her when they were kids visiting Italy. The one who disappeared after his parents split and reappeared years later with more muscle, and a haunted look she couldn't stop staring at. Hayden had his own shadows. His past was littered with broken things promises, people, places he no longer called home. Coming back to London was supposed to be a reset, not a reunion. But fate had other plans for him. Now, he lives just a few steps from Zoe's window. Too close to ignore, too far to touch. And despite the years, the distance, and the damage they see each other in a way no one else does. Two hearts with locked doors. Two people who never meant to collide again.Zakończone
𝔐𝔬𝔯𝔱𝔢 𝔑𝔢𝔯𝔬
Book 2~𝔐𝔬𝔯𝔱𝔢 𝔑𝔢𝔯𝔬 The girl I'd kill for left me to die. Let that sink in. She walked out of that hospital and didn't even look back. Said she was done. Said we were over. Lied. She always lies pretty. I remember the way her footsteps faded down that hallway-quiet, quick, final. But I knew. She wasn't running from me. She was running from herself. And maybe I should hate her. Maybe I should've let the pain rot me from the inside out and buried the part of me that still aches for her. But I didn't. I still love her. God help me, I still fucking love her. I see her every time I close my eyes. Her skin on mine. Her voice in my ear, sweet and poisonous. I dream about her lying next to me-then wake up alone with blood on my knuckles and rage in my throat. There's not a single bone in my body that hates Donatella. But I'll never forgive her. And now? Now I'm crossing borders, spilling blood, burning everything in my path just to find her. Because I know she's out there. Hiding. Surviving. Trying to outrun the mess she left behind. But she won't outrun me. She's not walking away this time. Even if I have to drag her home kicking and screaming-she's coming back. With me. Or in pieces. 𖤐✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰ OMG! I'm so excited for Angela Della Morte book 2! This is all in Amirs POV, and possibly some brothers...
