"They said he was danger wrapped in smoke. I said he felt like home."
One moment, she was invisible - just another quiet student blending into the background.
The next, she was pinned to the wall by a stranger's rage, in front of an entire class.
And just when no one could save her...
He walked in.
Cigarette smoke in his breath. Blood on his fists. A gaze that burned like fire.
Kyro - the bad boy senior no one dared talk to. The boy with secrets, scars, and a world darker than hell.
He calls her princess.
But the deeper she falls into his world of shadows, the more she realizes:
Some hearts are wrapped in barbed wire.
Some truths should've stayed hidden.
And some saviors... might be more dangerous than the villains.

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.

Kiss Me, Damnation
He pushed off the wall, closing the distance between us in two strides. His presence towered over me, suffocating me. "I don't want your thanks, Evelyn. I want you. And the fact that you can stand here, smile at him, hold his hand, and then come to me with polite little words like thank you" He shook his head, his jaw tight "It makes me sick" My chest tightened. Fear. Guilt. Something else i couldn't name. I opened my mouth to speak, but his had shot up, just hovering inches from my cheek. "Don't thank me. Don't ever thank me.
