When Delia moves to a new town, she only wants a fresh start. But secrets linger in every hallway of her new school- and they all whisper the same name: Aiden.
Everyone says he's dangerous. That his brother's death is his fault. That getting close to him will only end in heartbreak.
Delia knows she should stay away.
But when the boy behind the rumors saves her, when his dark eyes reveal pain instead of malice-she can't ignore the pull.
The deeper she falls, the more lies she uncovers. Someone doesn't want her near him. Someone is willing to do anything to keep the truth buried.
And the closer Delia gets to Aiden, the more she realizes:
Some shadows aren't meant to be chased.
Some secrets could ruin them both.

Book 2~𝔐𝔬𝔯𝔱𝔢 𝔑𝔢𝔯𝔬 The girl I'd kill for left me to die. Let that sink in. She walked out of that hospital and didn't even look back. Said she was done. Said we were over. Lied. She always lies pretty. I remember the way her footsteps faded down that hallway-quiet, quick, final. But I knew. She wasn't running from me. She was running from herself. And maybe I should hate her. Maybe I should've let the pain rot me from the inside out and buried the part of me that still aches for her. But I didn't. I still love her. God help me, I still fucking love her. I see her every time I close my eyes. Her skin on mine. Her voice in my ear, sweet and poisonous. I dream about her lying next to me-then wake up alone with blood on my knuckles and rage in my throat. There's not a single bone in my body that hates Donatella. But I'll never forgive her. And now? Now I'm crossing borders, spilling blood, burning everything in my path just to find her. Because I know she's out there. Hiding. Surviving. Trying to outrun the mess she left behind. But she won't outrun me. She's not walking away this time. Even if I have to drag her home kicking and screaming-she's coming back. With me. Or in pieces. 𖤐✰✰✰✰✰✰✰✰ OMG! I'm so excited for Angela Della Morte book 2! This is all in Amirs POV, and possibly some brothers...
Because Of You ✔️
❝ I don't have time to waste thinking about a boy who will only destroy my future,❞ I say getting closer to him with every word, maybe a little too close. I feel his breath fanning my face. He licks his lip as a sneaky smirk slips onto them, his greenish-gray eyes shift between my lips and eyes, making my traitorous breath hitch. ❝ You saying you think about me, Torres? ❞ ~ Mariana Torres is the first in her family to go to college. Being the first in a Latinx family comes with more pressure and stress than usual, something Mariana is used to. She wants nothing but to make her family proud, even if it means pursuing something she's not interested in. Now heading off to UCLA on a full-ride with her best friend, she's finally getting the chance to get a strong education and become a successful doctor. But every perfect plan has bumps in the road, and this one just happens to be a beautiful one. Aiden Grey lives life like he's dying. He parties, drinks, smokes, burns through his money, and sleeps around with every girl at UCLA.

"What's your problem?" He asks darkly. "What's your problem?" I spit back. "Why do you keep following me?" He hisses. "I don't follow you!" I shout back. "Then how come where ever I go you end up going or being there?" He questions in a raised voice. "Its a coincidence." I say back in the same tone.

The Inceptive Flame⎪✓
"Do they not say that a good friendship builds on a ground of lies?" I joke, lightening the mood immediately as his green eyes glint in humor and a smirk falls on his familiar lips. "Do you kiss a lot of your friends, love?" The underlying tones threaten to provoke a blush on my cheeks, but I get myself together. Smirking at him, "Well, of course, is that not the norm?" *********** Dakota Moore is the perfect example of a beautiful disaster. Her wisdom is ready to knock anyone down, her self worth is an exact replica of the way her father raised her, and her pain so intense it screams over every building. She refuses to show anyone what's going on behind closed doors, especially when her lovely father gets the traumatic news that he has an incurable disease. Elijah Black is the spur of the moment kind of guy, he's the one no one ever settles with because of his angry outbursts and rude ways. Even though he throws everyone off, except for when they want sexual advances, he still can't help but feel enthralled by the freckled girl who's hiding so many secrets behind a fake smile. As they clash and try to reject the obvious rush, will they accept their attraction, or is everything just too much? After all, how can two ruined teenagers manage a youthful love without destroying themselves in the process?
