Livia pensait que Paris ne serait qu'une parenthèse enchantée.
En vacances avec sa meilleure amie Iris, l'étudiante en littérature new-yorkaise rêvait de balades au bord de la Seine, de cafés pittoresques et de découvertes culturelles. Mais lorsque Julian croise son chemin, tout bascule.
Entre eux, l'alchimie est immédiate, presque troublante. Avec son regard acier et son sourire en coin, Julian semble tout droit sorti d'un roman, celui dont Livia pourrait être l'héroïne. Mais sous cette légèreté apparente, des zones d'ombre persistent. Qui est-il vraiment ? Et pourquoi ce jeu du destin qui les pousse à se revoir, alors qu'il semble parfois tout faire pour garder ses distances ?
Alors que Livia se laisse emporter par cette romance naissante, des doutes s'immiscent. Est-elle prête à suivre son cœur, quitte à risquer de s'y brûler ? Entre secrets, attirance et danger, son aventure parisienne pourrait bien la mener bien plus loin qu'elle ne l'aurait imaginé...
Et si derrière chaque coïncidence se cachait un piège ?

**** Mature content**** "You wanna know why I'm angry?" He said in between the kisses. "Because of you" He said as he continued and my body tensed and shivered. "Every time I think I have control over myself and decide to leave this place... to leave ... you. I stop and walk back like a puppy" He said turning me around now. "Every time I meet someone, I compare them to you. Every fucking time I remind myself that you're an enemy, I want you even more" he said and I knew that this was one of the hardest thing for him to do. He and neither I like to talk about how we are feeling or face reality. Yet he still did it. "What the fuck are you doing to me Mia Bella?" He whispered with his forehead on mine and our lips inches apart. "Kiss me" I replied • • • Mafia, drugs, weapons, and all the dangerous and abnormal you can think of is what Alexandra Salvatore has to deal with on daily basis.

The deserted island
Heyyy, nice to have you stop by ;) This story is about a group of young people aged 17-20 who wash up on a deserted island.🏝️ They are good friends, but over time they start to notice tensions rising within the group. It happens that several of the guys fall for the same girl, and things go completely wrong. - Juliette often stays close to Emiel, since they're a couple, but her gaze keeps drifting towards Victor, whose sharp humor and self-assured attitude unknowingly intrigue her. She has a slight fear of Victor. - Emiel is Juliette's partner and would do anything to protect her. He's quite jealous, but only when necessary. He's a real man, not a boy. - Victor occasionally throws a challenging look at Emiel, as if silently daring him. Emiel feels more and more uncomfortable. Victor is very smart and cunning, and he would do anything to win Juliette over, convincing her that Emiel isn't right for her, but that he himself is. Victor is the most unreliable, clever, and sly guy. He has his eye on Juliette but makes it all too obvious. He must and will convince her to be with him, showing her that he's the only right one... though that's not actually the case. - Robbe is the smart one in the group. - Gina is clairvoyant. - Amber, who watches all of this unfold, often plays calming melodies on her harp. She has an intuitive gift to sense when tensions rise, and her music usually keeps the group in balance. There is romance, violence, and coarse language, so sensitive readers are warned!! For each sensitive scene, there will be a "T.W.⚠️" present, which will also close with "End of T.W.⚠️". I hope you enjoy the story and give it a chance! Hopefully, I'll get some feedback to guide me. Love you 💕 Lynn x
