She was supposed to fear him.
He was supposed to destroy her.
But fate doesn't follow rules born from blood.
Aera enters New York as a quiet storm - brilliant, stubborn, and dangerously unbreakable.
She wants her own life, her own world, far away from power, guns, and shadows.
Kaden?
He is the shadow.
A ruthless mafia prince with eyes like storms, a voice carved in sin, and a past soaked in violence.
Cold. Obsessed. Possessive.
A man who doesn't fall - he claims.
And from the moment he sees her...
Aera stops being free.
She becomes a challenge.
A threat.
A temptation he's willing to burn the city for.
She hates his control.
He craves her resistance.
Every fight pulls them closer, every touch ruins them deeper.
War in their eyes.
Fire in their veins.
Love in their wounds.
He's the danger she should run from.
She's the only one he'll kill for.
In a world built on power, secrets, betrayal, and blood
they aren't soulmates.
They are collisions
And some ruins...
are worth loving.

FALLEN FOR A BAD BOY {BAD MEETS BADDEST}
She witnessed horror... and became one. After surviving a harrowing near-rape and watching her best friend brutally assaulted and murdered before her eyes, Aurora vanished-emotionally. What rose from the ashes was someone unrecognizable: Cold. Fearless. Savage. Untouchable. She trusts no one. Loves no one. And as far as she's concerned, no man alive could ever break through her fortress of ice. Love? Dead. Her rules? Simple. No emotions. No attachments. No second chances. But her new college? A battlefield. And him? Leonard Grande - the kind of trouble she didn't prepare for. Wounded. Rebellious. Addictive. Dangerous. A walking paradox with a face carved by gods and a soul damaged by demons. A notorious playboy who takes pleasure in breaking girls, shredding hearts like paper-because he believes every girl is a liar in disguise. Until Aurora. She doesn't look at him like he matters. She doesn't fall. She doesn't even flinch. And that pisses him off. Now it's war. A toxic game of destruction and seduction. She wants to erase him. He wants to ruin her. But when secrets from the past start surfacing, both realize they've been walking in the dark... and maybe-just maybe-they were destined to collide. How deep do their scars go? And who's really pulling the strings in this web of pain and passion. Dive into a dark college romance where love is a weapon, trust is deadly, and only the strongest survive. When bad meets baddest... there are no rules. Trigger Warning: This story contains themes of sexual violence, emotional trauma, murder, psychological manipulation, and abusive behavior. Reader discretion is strongly advised. Some scenes may be distressing or triggering to survivors. ©2025

🌙 Seventeen-year-old Luan Dervishi has always known one truth: if the world doesn't kill you, the people in it will. Abandoned, hunted, and betrayed by the only family he ever had, Luan didn't fall off that cliff, he jumped. Death was the plan. But fate doesn't care about plans. Instead of silence and oblivion, Luan awakens in a world that shouldn't know his name, yet somehow, it does. Dragged through a portal by something ancient and watching, he lands in a realm where cities breathe secrets, maps rewrite themselves, and power answers to him like an echo long buried. A power that isn't his, yet fits him too well. A power the rulers, outcasts, and monsters of this world would do anything to claim. He didn't ask for a second chance. He didn't want one. Now, bound to a magic that pulses with memory and intent, Luan is being pulled deeper into a story written long before his birth, one that wants him to play hero, saviour, maybe even king. But Luan isn't here to be anyone's symbol. As cities fall and truths rot from the inside out, Luan walks a road twisted by loyalty, vengeance, and a past even he can't fully recall. Because in this world of gods, ghosts, and fractured fate, not everything that bleeds is alive... ...and not everything that lives deserves to. 🌑 "Is this the part where I'm supposed to kneel?" "You were never meant to kneel." "Good. Because I didn't come to worship your gods. I came to bury them." ---------------------------- Book [1-???] (BEING REWRITTEN!!)
