"And next time you talk about my ass, make sure I haven't caught you staring at it." "I'm sick, Trouble. I'm sick, and you're the only thing that stops the shaking." ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Leona: The forbidden target. As the guitarist's sister, she was supposed to be off-limits, but she became Draven's "Trouble" instead. Resilient but haunted, she has spent the summer tour navigating a dark, electric frequency with a man who looks at her like she's the only thing worth saving, and the only thing worth destroying. Draven: A lethal rock god with a predatory streak and a silent, unhinged obsession. He doesn't just protect; he claims. Feral, territorial, and grumpy personified, he is a man of raw rage who would gladly watch his empire burn to the ground if it meant keeping the world's hands off what is his. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ It was supposed to be a simple summer tour. No distractions. No scandals. And definitely no touching his best friend's sister. For Draven and Leona, the "ghost" era was the only way to survive. They existed in the silence, in stolen glances and a heavy, unspoken frequency that hummed beneath the roar of sold-out stadiums. But secrets this dark can't stay hidden in the light of the paparazzi's flash. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ✨#1 in enemieswithbenefits #1 in tension #1 in rockstar #4 in oppositesattract #9 in brothersbestfriend #10 in wealthy #11 in secretaffair #22 in olderguy #81 in enemiestolovers #98 in seduction #94 in secretrelationship
𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐇𝐈𝐌
At seven, she was nothing more than a child in white lace, her hand pressed into his as their families sealed a deal with rings and blood. He was eleven-already carved from stone, already the heir to a throne built on power, violence, and fear. Neither of them understood the weight of the promise that bound them. But years later, that promise has returned to claim them both. She is no longer a little girl. She has grown into a mafia princess-reckless, untamed, with fire in her veins and defiance in her tongue. He is no longer a boy. He is the ruthless leader of an empire, a man whose word is law and whose hands are stained with blood. They are opposites, destined to clash. She hates his control, his cold indifference, his unyielding dominance. He despises her rebellion, her refusal to bend, the chaos she brings into his ordered world. Yet hate is not the only thing that burns between them. Beneath every furious argument lies an attraction as sharp and dangerous as the knives hidden under their skin. Every glance dares the other closer, every touch threatens to ignite the very fire they're both trying to smother. But in their world, love is a weakness. Betrayal is a death sentence. And their marriage-forced, bound in blood and tradition-is less a union and more a war. Still, amidst the smoke of gunfire, whispered lies, and enemies circling like wolves, a brutal truth rises: They may destroy each other. Or they may burn the whole world down together. #1 in arrange #1 in unholy
