Elise is a French Literature student living in Lyon, France, and finds herself in the middle of November at the lowest point of her depression. It will have been two weeks that she hasn't been to a single one of her classes, nor has she seen anybody but her boyfriend who, to her regret, only came to see her once.
One day, as she was wallowing in her apartment, the young woman receives a call from her mother who asks her to take care of her younger sister for an afternoon. She half-heartedly accepts and takes little Amélie to see an expo about de St. Exupéry's work, The Little Prince; a story which enchanted Elise's childhood and that she forgot as she grew up.
There she will meet Antoine, the museum's storyteller, a passionate, princely young man who will know how to see that within Elise's sadness is hidden a broken soul which deserves to be protected and covered in nothing but gold and happiness.
Maybe some day, she'll see that herself.

shattered souls
𝐋𝐈𝐎𝐑𝐀 𝐀𝐒𝐇𝐖𝐘𝐍 wears pain like a second skin. It's all she's ever known, etched into her bones, buried beneath forced smiles and hollow laughter. Once passionate, once burning bright, now nothing but ash and ruin. She pretends well, but behind the sharp tongue and unbothered eyes lies a girl screaming to be seen, yet terrified someone actually might. 𝐀𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐍 was born into a world already at war with him. Pain wasn't just a chapter in his life, it was the whole book. Raised in shadows, fed by poison, his lungs filled with smoke and silence. He never asked for love. He never believed he deserved it. Drugs kept the demons quiet. Cigarettes kept his hands busy. Until her. The only good card he's ever been dealt, fragile, feral, and just as broken as him. Together, Liora and Ares are destruction wrapped in desire. A love not meant to be touched, yet impossible to resist. It's messy. Chaotic. Addictive. It's the kind of love that leaves scars, and still, they keep reaching for each other, again and again. What happens when two shattered souls try to build something whole out of ruin?Complete

Gray has no idea he's even there. ── When he finally rids himself of the mafia that screwed him over, Gray turns his attention toward a new rising power; a Japanese syndicate known as the Vipers. Their sovereign is a feared figure. One that people say is a terribly beautiful man with eyes of sapphire blue. The same man whose gaze never strays from his heart's desire. He's the one who watches his muse from the shadows, and sculpts him to be his in the light.Complete

With her final year of college, an internship, and a best friend who won't let her wallow, she's starting to feel like herself again. She's even warming up to someone new...until Christian crashes back into her life at the worst possible time. Now, nothing feels simple. He says he was protecting her. She says he ran away. And in the middle of all the jealousy, misunderstandings, emotional walls, and late-night confessions - there's still something between them neither of them can explain or escape. One missed flight.

And now, here they were, studying in a University in Lyon, France, living a few minutes away from each other. Yet no matter how things seemed to fall in place around her, she couldn't help but feel uneasy, because the universe, being what it is, is fraught with indeterminacies. The smallest things could make a world's worth of difference. Her anxieties only grew when on their last semester, Catchy decides to take a leave of absence, without so much as a single word.Complete
