"Are you going to hurt me?" Evalyn said slowly, taunting. 

"I could easily knock the breath out of you, lass," Elijah growled, "I just need to press hard, on the right spot."

"Do it." She dared him, though her voice was uneven, her cheeks were red. 

"No," He said simply, making her relax, "Because there are other ways to knock the breath out of you."

After receiving a letter from her dead father at her college graduation, Evalyn Gonzalez finds herself crawling back to her home town. She's hell bent on uncovering the truth surrounding his passing because what was thought to be a suicide years ago, may no longer be one. It turns out nothing is what it once seemed to be. Or rather no one. 

Evidentiary files have gone missing. Key witnesses are dead. And then there's ruggedly-handsome, reckless and troubled Elijah Blue, who Evalyn can't seem to help crossing paths with.

***Book 2 in the 'Grey Sub-Series'*** "Watch that mouth, doll," he growled, his deep voice sending shivers down my spine. His accent was thicker when he spoke that one word, 'doll.' I dared to scoff, testing his limits. "Or what?" He let out an exasperated sigh and walked towards me, crouching down to look me in the eyes. Three long strides later, he was standing inches away from my face. With one swift motion, he pulled his gun from his back pocket, running the barrel against my lower lip slowly. "Or I will fuck it with my gun," he whispered, his breath hot against my skin. "And I will enjoy watching you struggle to speak." My heart pounded against my chest as I glared defiantly into his cold, dark eyes. He smiled cruelly and lifted the gun, pressing it against my forehead. "You think you're untouchable, little doll," he taunted. "But you will learn, just as everyone else has, that no one crosses the Vinci family." ********************** It is often said that the world is black and white, but in reality, there are many shades of grey and even blue that paint the nuanced complexities of life. Azalea, a young woman seeking the full college experience, moves to Manhattan, New York, where she inadvertently catches a glimpse of the city's hidden criminal underworld. Fascinated by its allure, Azalea delves deeper into the seedy underbelly, encountering colorful characters and unraveling the secrets of the city's most powerful crime boss, Lennox. However, as Azalea finds herself engulfed in this world of crime and deception, she must choose her path carefully-for in a world painted in shades of grey, the embers of danger are never far away.

|18+| "Enough is enough," she said to herself. "I'm going to ask him out." Getting up from her seat, she walked over to where he was seated. "Um, hi! I was wondering if we could grab some coffee and maybe hang out sometime?" she asked nervously. He turned to her, a sense of darkness and danger emanating from him. Her body went on alert. "You shouldn't be able to see me," he said with a smiling like a Cheshire cat. . . . "I scratch and bite" she warned "You'll crawl and beg too" he smirked. . . . The Ripple She hardly has time to breathe, much less dream, considering that she is juggling two difficult jobs. One face, nevertheless, sticks out in the midst of the chaos of her daily subway rides: a mysterious guy whom she covertly refers to as "the subway hottie." His mysterious presence becomes the high point of her daily routine-a secret joy. However, one day, with an unusual burst of courage, she dares to break the silence between them. What starts off as a brief connection quickly develops into something forbidden and thrilling. She has no idea that this seemingly random meeting will upend her meticulously planned life in ways she never could have predicted. The Echo He had to grow up too early after being born into an uncertain circumstance and found refuge and survival in the shadow of an underground empire. From a street-hardened recruit to a trusted enforcer in the family's inner circle, what started out as a desperate decision quickly turned into a way of life. However, trust is brittle and was destroyed the day he discovered a cruel betrayal that left him bloodied and drove him to flee. His only goal now is to exact revenge, and The Nemesis is his target. But his well-laid schemes fall apart when she gets in his way. His icy determination starts to soften for the first time, and he has to decide whether seeking vengeance is worth losing the one thing he never thought he deserved-her. 𝔘𝔫𝔡𝔢𝔯 𝔠𝔬𝔫𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔲𝔠𝔱𝔦𝔬

I point to a random car, further away from where we're standing. "And why would I do that?" He lifts a brow, amused. "Because I can't stand to be in your presence. You make me sick."
