Book Two of the Damned Hearts Trilogy
Clara Hayes thought she'd escaped the chaos that haunted her best friend's life.
But peace is a fragile thing-especially when temptation wears two faces.
Chad Montgomery is everything Clara swore she'd never want again: reckless, charming, and intoxicating. He flirts like it's an art form, hides his pain behind jokes, and makes her heart race in ways she doesn't understand. He's chaos wrapped in a perfect smile-and she hates that she's drawn to him.
Then there's Julien Mitchell-Moreau-Elena's twin brother.
The secret no one was ever supposed to uncover.
He's cold. Calculated. A man who's learned to survive in a world of violence and loyalty, built from the blood-stained empire he runs in the shadows. The mob has taken pieces of him he'll never get back... except when it comes to her.
Because Julien never saw Clara as his sister's childish best friend.
He saw her as the woman who could undo him-the one light that could expose every dark secret he's buried.
But when the truth about who he is comes to light, Clara finds herself torn between two men:
A reckless playboy who burns for her.
And a ruthless protector who would burn the world to keep her safe.
In a world where every choice comes with consequences, Clara must decide which man she's willing to fall for... and which one will destroy her first.
Because love can be a sin.
Obsession can be a weapon.
And temptation... is the most beautiful kind of ruin.

Blood like honey: A Lost Boys Fanfiction
FINISHED AND COMPLEATED Santa Carla is a city that devours the lost-a place where neon and ocean fog hide monsters with fanged grins and leather jackets. Innocence here isn't just prey; it's bait. She's nineteen, a psychology student fleeing a suffocatingly religious home, more at ease with books and girls than the chaos of boys. She's awkward and anxious, hiding her curves and wild red hair beneath baggy hoodies, a sweet soul with a stubborn streak. She's never had a boyfriend-never wanted one. Boys are loud, brash, dangerous. She's always kept her distance. But Santa Carla has other appetites. And so does he. David is every warning ever whispered at Sunday school: platinum hair, leather and smoke, a villain's eyes and a devil's smile. He's everything she fears: When their worlds collide-her stumbling, blushing, apologizing; him amused, predatory, intrigued by a girl who should know better-the night itself sharpens its teeth. There's something in her that calls to David, a purity he aches to corrupt, a sweetness he aches to taste. In Santa Carla, desire is deadly and monsters always find their prey. Some call it the murder capital of the world. Here, even the sweetest blood can drive a vampire mad.Complete

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 NewaduComplete
