He doesn't speak. But he kills, he protects, and he listens to only one person-me.
Avi never meant to fall for the boy who never spoke.
At six, she found him bloodied and broken under a tree. She offered him a cookie. He never left.
Now, she's nineteen, loud, innocent, and broke.
He's twenty-five, cold, dangerous, and a billionaire mafia king.
He doesn't use his voice-but his silence screams louder than words.
In a city built on secrets, Avi is the only softness he's ever known.
But when the past comes knocking, blood starts spilling, and love turns lethal,
she'll learn that even monsters have breaking points-and Alex Vale has only one weakness.
Her.
A slow-burn, no-instant-kiss romance. Packed with deadly stares, obsessive protection, stolen glances, hickeys she doesn't even know are hickeys, and a silent killer who would destroy the world for her.
Enjoy^^ <3
*Formerly His Desire*
"You think you want me, but I don't think you could handle what I would do to you." His stare is relentless.
I smooth my hands down over my nightdress, feeling his words glide across my skin. "I could..."
"I'm not sure I would be the kind, gentle lover your sweet Caspian would be," he warns quietly.
