Ava Collins came to this town to disappear. Instead, Luca Hayes noticed her.
He notices the panic hidden behind her quietness. The way she flinches at sudden touches. The fear she carries, like it lives beneath her skin. And despite his own chaos and pressures, Luca cannot seem to stay away from the girl who looks at him like she wants to run and stay all at once.
But Ava has secrets buried deep enough to ruin both of them, and someone from her past is determined to make sure she never escapes what happened that night.
Dark, aching, and addictive, this is a story about trauma, obsession, and the terrifying intimacy of being truly seen.

Fighting for Rose
-Blake- Rose stands not too far in front of the ring looking at me, her face is pale and my gut twists in ways it never has. She shouldn't be here, why the hell is she here? My hands drop to my side, the victorious feeling once flowing through me is replaced with one of dread. She saw me fighting. ------- -Rose- "Alright. Time for you to go." He says. I feel the pull on my arm as he tries to take me away but my feet feel like they are glued to the ground as I continue to look at Blake. He has a little smirk on his face as he looks over the crowd. A look so completely different than any of the ones I saw the other day. Then our eyes meet, and his smirk drops. He drops his hands that were just held high in victory and looks at me like he's seeing a ghost. The guard pulls harder on my arm and I go flying back into his chest. "Listen here, I don't want to manhandle you, so do as I fucking say. Move." He growls as he pushes me into the crowd of celebrating people. I do what he says and start walking towards the exit, but I look over my shoulder one last time before I'm too far in the crowd to see anything. Blake's hands are fisted by his side and his face is red with anger, his eyes are focused on the hands that are on me pushing me away from him. ----- I am the original owner of this book, please do not copy.

With piercing blue eyes, messy honey-brown hair, and a body inked with stories, Axe cuts through life's noise with a razor-sharp edge. His world revolves around his jet-black Ducati, his chosen biker family, and staying far away from anything that threatens his hard-earned control-especially love.

Bright, optimistic, and full of life, she's chased the city lights to make a name for herself, working at her charming little café in the heart of a gritty neighborhood.

Despite her cheerful demeanor, she's no stranger to life's challenges and isn't afraid to take on anything-or anyone-that stands in her way. But when Ivy's cheerful world collides with Axe's dark, stormy life, neither of them expects what happens next. Ivy refuses to let his cold exterior push her away, and Axe finds himself drawn to her warmth-despite every instinct telling him to run.
