Silena never asked for the chaos. She only wanted peace - a break from the confusion, the pressure, the fake smiles. But when Damari showed up, calm but deadly, soft-spoken but sharp-eyed... her entire world shifted.
He wasn't like the others. And that's exactly what made her fall.
But just as she starts to open up, shadows from the past begin creeping in. A car starts following her. Anonymous messages invade her phone. Someone out there is watching... waiting... and they're not playing fair.
Her best friend Ari tries to keep her grounded, but even girl talk can't quiet the unease building in her chest. And Trey - her almost, maybe, never - starts reappearing with mixed signals and dark eyes full of regret.
Then the night comes.
Hands grab her.
A car door swings open.
And it's Damari who shows up, gun drawn, secrets in his silence, and truth in his aim.
Qz
Who really has her back?
What is Damari hiding behind those gold chains and soft kisses?
And why is it that even danger feels safe in his arms?
Silena's not sure if this is love or madness.
But one thing she knows for sure - she's already in too deep.
And someone wants to drag her deeper.

DEADLY DECEPTION
#BOOK 1 of The Deadly Series In a world where trust is a luxury, secrets are deadly, and love is the most dangerous weapon of all... Avery Caine thought she was just another orphan with a quiet life-until the brutal murder of her guardian shatters everything she knows. Now, hunted and tangled in a past she doesn't remember, she has only one choice: trust him. Rick Conrad. Cold. Dangerous. A man with too many demons and not enough patience. He works in the shadows, fueled by vengeance, but when his path collides with Avery's, the last thing he expects is her-defiant, tempting, and completely off-limits. But danger has a way of pulling people together. And sometimes, the line between hate and desire is razor-thin. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🔥 "Piccola," he murmured, tilting his head slightly. His voice was smooth-dangerous in the way it sent a shiver down my spine. "Even when I've warned you a million times about rolling your eyes at me... you still make the same mistake." My throat dried. He leaned in, his lips ghosting over the shell of my ear. His next words were a slow, deliberate whisper. "Or maybe..." His fingers trailed up my arm, featherlight. "You do it on purpose." I swallowed hard. "Maybe you want to make the same mistake again and again... just to be punished." My breath hitched. I bit my lip, and the moment I did, his gaze dropped-straight to my mouth. Something in his eyes flickered. Darkened. Before I could even think, his lips crashed against mine-hard, demanding, leaving no room for hesitation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As enemies close in and the past refuses to stay buried, Avery and Rick must decide-survive apart or burn together. One thing's for sure. They were never meant to fall in love. But it's far too late for that.Complete
