She escaped. Three years later, she's finally ready to finish what he started.

~~~~~~

Josette Adai. To the world, she's a recent college graduate with long blonde hair and hopes of going to medical school. She's an intelligent, caring, selfless girl with a bright future. And to those that actually know her? She is just beginning to learn how to smile again. Josette must find a way to finally end her poisonous relationship with her ex before he destroys the new life she managed to build for herself. A new life that includes Jax Logan, the beautiful boy who has his pain etched into his skin with scars and tattoos. The boy that made her smile again. The boy she wishes could be more than 'just a friend' to her.

Jax Daire Logan. He's the boy with stories told in scars and ink across his skin. The one that takes out his lip piercing and pushes his raven black hair out of his silvery green eyes when it's time to step into the courtroom and fight the world's demons. He's the one that pulled Josette out from under the abuse that was her ex. And he's the one that would do anything to save her.

But what happens when Josette's demons lurk in the shadows far from the jurisdiction of a courtroom?

A story of scars that run too deep, a love so toxic that fate demands blood, and the best kind of betrayal, "Don't You Trust Me?" is revenge in its' most enticing form. They say keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. So... don't you trust me?

Now she will have to live with the debt of temptation - When Poppy witnesses a robbery gone wrong and gives evidence to the police to catch the perpetrators, she finds herself in witness protection after discovering the criminals are part of a dangerous gang. But when her witness protection comes to an end, she is soon captured by the gang leader and told she'll give eight years of her life for the man who was sentenced to prison for the same amount of time.

After Rexx discovers her acquaintance with Gabriel, he demands that she spies on him to get information about his family and business. Reluctantly she wants to say no, but she has no choice.

This book is available on Kindle/KU !!! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DJHFMW3Q I thought I knew what I wanted from this life. That is until I met the Valor brothers and it turned my world upside down. I kill for a living, something familiar to the brothers as they navigate their own illicit company in this industry. They've made a name for themselves, but that doesn't mean I can get close. I've disentangled my life from the work I do and getting involved with them is something I can't risk. When the stakes get too high will that still hold true? Will I finally give into the feelings that I'm pushing deep down? Will the brothers let me into their lives? Its a clusterfuck of problems, but I better figure it out before my demons take over completely. He's coming for me and as much as I want to push these brothers away, they might just end up being my salvation. Either that or my demise... Lilah: The Assassin, The Avoidant, The Addiction Maverick: The Leader. Mav's sole responsibility is keeping his brothers safe. It's all he cares about and he will do anything to make that possible, even if it means denying the woman he wants. Onyx: The Mask. Onyx is closed off to everyone in the world except his brothers. To everyone else he is a sceptic, but he keeps everything close to his heart. Can he really trust her? Dame: The Pretty Boy. Dame is all jokes and smiles, a puppy at one point then a guard dog the next. When he loves, he loves hard. Kai: The Pyschopath. Kai thrives off blood and pain--nothing can satiate him the way those do. No one can handle his moods or his needs. Can she?

The second one, is that is you love someone you don't give up, till death due us part, bullshit right," I never believed either of those things until I met him, he made me want to give up and keep fighting at the same time. ** This enemies to allies to lovers story follows the head of the Italian mafia, a woman, Ravenna Daniela Moretti, but nobody knows that, they all know her as Sovrana della morte, meaning ruler of death, she has made it a crucial point to hide her identity, not even the close circle of mafia know her, until her identity as well as very important information is at risk when the 4 inner mafia circle are hacked by a group of Russian hackers, she is forced to team up with the 3 other dons of mafia, America, France and Spain she reveals her identity to them. Only to have the head of the French mafia realize that he was given stripper a few nights ago when Ravenna was undercover, they now have to pretend nothing happened and ignore their undeniable attraction as well as 6 years of burning hatred in order to defeat a bigger problem.

I could still feel the numbness in my limbs and the piercing pain on my shoulder as I tried to adjust my eyes to the light. There was a constant banging sound in my ear and it was slowly fading away. My vision was blurry and as i adjust my focus, i saw all four of my so called brothers in front of me. They all looked.....worried. I was still not used to their insane acting skills because for a sec i believed it. Maybe I was deceiving myself. What if they actually cared? Before i completely lost it i woke up and tried to pull the plugs and syringe in me....and to say I regretted it was an understatement. Raffaele immediately held me and Damian was screaming for the doctor. I snapped and pushed him away. I didn't know why I was in an hospital. The last thing I remember was holding a gun against my head. "Where is he" The first person I looked for as soon as I woke up was him but he was no where to be seen. I was scared for him, my brothers were capable of doing anything. "He is dead" I couldn't make out who said it because as soon as I heard it my world went black. **************************** Amelia was deceived her whole life. The man she thought was her father was actually her kidnapper. She was locked away from the world her entire life and the constant abuse was all that she could remember . Years later, her brothers comes back to get her after finding out their long lost sister is alive...... But these brothers can't keep their little princess to themselves for long. Lucas Hermandez. To him Amelia is his light, the only one who can tame this demon. The moment when she went missing he turned the world upside down trying to find her. He'd burn the world if it meant he could find her. What will happen when he finds out she's back? Amelia's determined about one thing - never to trust anyone again, and her brothers are reluctant to win back her trust. She is no longer the sweet girl they once knew. ********************

"Ava, you have to be quiet! They'll hear you-" Tears started to spill from my eyes, blending in with the rain that dripped down my face. I shouldn't have come here. The last time I followed someone I made accidentally noise and got them killed. I had to get away from Jaxon. I turned on my heel, ready to run to, but Jaxon grabbed my wrist. "Let go" I choked, "I have to leave. You're in danger-" The next thing I knew, his lips crashed onto mine. His arms wrapped around my body, pulling tightly to his chest. "Stop it" I sobbed, unable to control my trembling. "Why are you doing this? Let me go-" "I had to get you quiet" he murmured. "Please Ava. You have to try to calm down. I understand you're scared right now, but you have to trust me. We're going to get home safely. Stay with me a few more minutes, and then we'll get the f*ck out of here. I promise." -- A little about Ava: She has made the long move from Detroit, Michigan to California to escape her gruesome past. She moves in with her older sister, and is ready to start her junior year of high school. Despite the demons she carries, she holds onto hope for a bright future.

He's also got a secret only few know, he's a dangerous member, and street racer, for the L.A. gang: Crimson Blaze. -- Achievements: #1 in streetracing #1 in teenromance #2 im highschool #3 in drama Hey all!
