'You will marry me, because no one else will have you.'
After five years, Tara's boyfriend didn't just walk out-he tried to take her self-worth with him. Broken and seeking a fresh start, Tara moves into a new apartment, desperate to prove him wrong.
But she didn't count on the Moreau brothers. Dorian, the dark, gothic artist who paints like he's exorcising demons, and Adrian, the steady presence with eyes that see too much.
In their world of art, obsession, and heat, Tara finds that the safest place to heal might be the most dangerous place to fall.

BEFORE YOU READ: This is a slowburn and some things may not make sense since the book is only half edited, but it will be when I'm done with the book. -------------------------- Her life has always been a battlefield... shaped by a violent father, marked by loss, and destroyed again by a boyfriend who treated her like a possession. She's learned to survive by staying small and unseen. But the day the school is plastered with naked photos of her, she becomes impossible to ignore. And the first to notice are the last men anyone would want watching: The Devils. Four teachers. Four kings of a hidden mafia network. Four predators with iron reputations and blood on their hands. When she breaks down at school, they're the ones who catch her. They tell themselves it's responsibility, nothing more. But the deeper they delve into her life, the harder it becomes to pretend they don't care. She awakens something in them... something protective, possessive, and dangerously close to tender. What starts with a rescue becomes the beginning of a bond that threatens their rules... and her already fragile world.

Three in a Set✔️
‼️Longer chapters‼️ Why Choose When You Have Three Already Coming in a Set? Starr Sloane has spent six years being relentlessly fine. After a car crash stole her entire family at eighteen, she learned to smile through grief, pour coffee with steady hands, and keep the hollow place in her chest hidden behind freckles and optimism. Her mother named her Starr because she was supposed to shine bright-even in the dark. So she did. Until she didn't. One drunken night, one bad decision, and one sidewalk later, she wakes up in the backseat of a stranger's car. The stranger has a scar that runs like silver lightning down his face, tattoos of black roses climbing his neck, and eyes that look at her like she's already something he's decided to keep. His name is Blaine. He doesn't come alone. Emerson-wicked smile, pierced, dangerous charm. Preston-quiet storm, sharp words, sharper hands. Three men. One unbreakable set. They say she's theirs now. They say they've been waiting for someone exactly like her to fall into the middle of their closed circle. Starr doesn't know how to belong to anyone-let alone three dangerous, obsessive men who live in shadows and deal in blood. She doesn't know how to let herself be wanted without waiting for the moment it all disappears. But they're patient. They're relentless. And when rival hands finally reach for her-when they bruise her, film her, try to break her-they show exactly what happens when you touch what belongs to them. Through trauma, through tears, through slow mornings and desperate nights, Starr learns something she thought she'd forgotten: She doesn't have to shine alone anymore. She can be held. She can be loved. She can be whole. Even if her light flickers. Even if the dark tries to take her again. Because this time, three men have decided the entire city can burn before they let her fall. Why choose... when the set already chose you?Complete
