"Within You" is a hauntingly beautiful novel that unravels the mysteries of the soul, where love, fate, and self-discovery collide like the verses of an unfinished song.
Leonardo, a dreamer longing to escape the weight of expectations, finds himself in the grand halls of Madrid's Palacio de Liria, lost in a masquerade of secrets and shadows. When an enigmatic game pulls him into a web of hidden truths, he is forced to confront not only the mysteries of the palace but the ones buried deep inside himself. And then there's Francesco-the Italian musician whose melodies carry the echoes of a past too painful to forget, a past that threatens to pull them both under.
Through the neon-lit chaos of New York and the whispered history of Madrid's ancient streets, time bends and blurs. Reality and illusion intertwine. And as a single, recurring symbol-the lyre-keeps appearing like a forgotten refrain, Leonardo and Francesco must fight to hold onto each other before the world pulls them apart.
A symphony of longing and revelation, "Within You" is a story of love that refuses to be silenced, of ghosts that demand to be heard, and of the unshakable truth that no matter how lost we feel, the answers have always been waiting-within us.
Because some stories don't end. They just wait for the right heart to hear their song. 🎶✨

Less Than Nothing
"What are we doing Alex?" He breathes against my lips. That's too sensible of a question, so I ignore it. My brain has yet to return to my body, and right now that is the last thing I'm worried about. "Stay." I whisper against his mouth, my words flowing without any thought. "Stay?" He sits up fully, which results in me straddling him. His expression is full of curiosity and mild shock. "Like stay stay?" I don't respond with words. I'm afraid if I open my mouth, I'll start to overthink and I can't afford that. Instead, I pull my shirt over my head. I do it confidently, in spite of my boldness starting to dissipate as the seconds pass. Ryan swallows. His eyes trail down to my breasts, before he looks at me again with a look I can't name.

Redefined every time someone new uses it, and sometimes in a more vile and lascivious way. Love was never on the table. Completely erased from his vocabulary after his mother died an unforgiving death. However, sometimes the feeling can emerge from even the darkest places in the world. Twisted and depraved. Behind the closed doors of a kidnapper's home. Or from the void that swirls in the chest of someone's missing heart. Even between the forbidden love of an angel and a demon. Love can come in all forms, in all contexts, and can form from even the smallest smidge of scorching hate. There is never light without darkness. There is never yin without yang. There are never days without nights. There is never love without hate. There is never life without death. Even villains and demons can fall in love with heroes and angels. His salvation comes from her, and her destruction comes from him. Like clockwork, they are a match made in the universe; polar opposites, but the attraction is never stronger.Complete
