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.

We Dream at Midnight (Ember 2)
Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).

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.

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.
