Mya is a compassionate and independent young woman who values emotional security and honesty. While she's deeply connected to Salem and drawn to his protective nature, her strong sense of self makes her question anything that feels like a threat to her trust or boundaries.
Salem is charming, protective, and deeply devoted to Mya, but he carries a mysterious past that he tries to shield her from. Despite his affectionate and attentive nature, his secrecy and reluctance to let Mya fully into his world create a rift between them, leaving him torn between protecting her and being honest.
Mya struggles with feelings of doubt and longing while Salem battles with a past he's trying to leave behind.
As Mya tries to move forward, she uncovers secrets that reveal Salem's life is far more complicated-and dangerous-than she ever imagined. Caught between protecting herself and fighting for the love she still feels, Mya must decide if their relationship is worth the risks.

Finding You
"He rests his forehead on mine and closes his eyes. Instantly, my own eyes flutter shut. I can feel his lips so very near to my own. 'Mia..," he says, almost like a whisper, 'I'm not him.'

Are you mine?
We've all heard about 'the main character'. The type of person who lives through the most dramatic and improbable situations, and finds the kind of epic romance you only see in works of fiction. Which makes you think about how unrealistic love like that is. I used to think the same thing until I met him. Until I met 'the bad boy' that, as it turns out, wasn't that bad at all, just simply...a boy. A boy with an easy smile, a charming personality and looks so enticing that I couldn't keep my eyes off of him if I tried. A boy whose shoulders were starting to slump with the weight of his past and his family. A boy who believed that the only way to survive was by putting a lock on his heart and chaining it down to a place so deep inside of him that no one could ever reach it again. A boy who, for reasons I'll never comprehend, placed the key inside my palm and didn't shy away when I tried to free his hidden heart from its restraints. A boy who made me the main character of my own story. A story I never want to forget, and which begged to be put on paper. This is that story. ~~~ #1 love triangle 8/26/2019 #1 teen romance 11/4/2019 #1 mystory 7/27/2020 #1 teen drama 9/9/2020 #1 goodgirl 9/12/2020 Cover by @alexandramar1e Contains swearing and mature language.Complete

Sins of Aiden
"You know I'll find out who did that to you. And they better wish for a headstart." I snap my gaze up. His voice turned awry in my ears at the menacing promise. I stare at him, blinking.
