Violet Benedetti thought heartbreak came quietly.
She was wrong.
When she's betrayed by the people closest to her -Violet's world splinters. With betrayal still fresh and her heart in ruins, she finds herself spiraling... until a chance encounter with a local rock band changes everything.
Enter Ares Carmine: inked, infamous, and darkly magnetic. The lead singer with a haunted past and a voice like sin, Ares sees Violet in a way no one ever has-and he wants her. Not just on stage. Not just in his arms. He wants every broken, burning piece of her.
As Violet is pulled deeper into the music scene-and Ares's obsession-lines begin to blur. Between friendship and betrayal. Desire and destruction. Love and possession.
But some hearts weren't made to heal.
Some were made to burn.
A slow(ish)-burn, enemies-to-lovers dark romance about heartbreak, obsession, and the cost of being truly seen.
(Also the cover is a work in progress so ignore that for now, one of my friends is actually designing one but I'm impatient)

He was a man of power, feared and worshipped in the same breath, ruling over the world of shadows where morality was a myth and sin was the only language spoken. Love? That was for the weak. He didn't do love. He didn't believe in innocence. Until her. She was untouched by the darkness he thrived in-a vision of purity, a forbidden fruit he had no right to crave. But the devil had never been one to deny himself temptation. And she... she was his greatest one. She should have run. He told her to. Instead, she stayed, unaware that the moment she stepped into his world, she became his. His to ruin. His to cherish. His purest sin. And now, even if heaven came calling-he'd rather burn than let her go.
🌹 The Thorn and the Rose
Luciano Moretti - the ruthless and feared mafia boss of the Italian underworld - has built his empire on blood, silence, and fear. He is known as Il Fantasma - the Ghost - because no one has ever seen his humanity. Cold, unreadable, and merciless, he rules with an iron fist and trusts no one. That is, until fate delivers him something he didn't know he needed - her. Rosalia Bennett, a bright, kind, and free-spirited florist who accidentally witnesses a mafia murder while delivering flowers to a wealthy client, suddenly becomes Luciano's problem. To protect his secret, he takes her captive - planning to keep her locked away until he decides what to do with her. But Rosalia is unlike anyone he's ever known. Where his world is filled with blood and shadows, she brings color, laughter, and warmth. Her soft defiance irritates him at first - she sings in his mansion, talks to his guards, and even leaves flowers on his desk. But slowly, her innocence begins to chip away at his walls. He tries to break her spirit. She, unknowingly, starts to heal his soul. Soon, the line between captor and captive blurs - she begins to see the man beneath the monster, and he begins to crave her like an addiction he cannot control. As enemies close in, Rosalia becomes his weakness and his only light - the rose blooming in his darkness. When the time comes to set her free, Luciano realizes that freedom for her might mean losing the only piece of heaven he's ever known. And for a man like him, love is the most dangerous weapon of all.Complete

I looked at her possessively before grabbing her by the nape of her neck and pulling her closer to me, our lips a breath away. "You are mine. Only mine. Understand?" I gritted out and she nodded slowly. "Good. Because I'll fucking kill any man who lays his hand on you. On what's mine." I said and crashed my lips onto hers.
