stories full of teenage angst, tension, twists and turns.
Home is a small town in the middle of England where she currently juggles being
a full-time writer with being a mother/referee to two little people. In her
spare time (and when she’s not camped out in front of the laptop) you’ll most

“It’s a
beautiful night,” I said from the shadows.
“Nicco?”
She glanced around, searching for me. When her eyes landed on me standing by
the corner of the building, she stood up. “What do you want?”
“Ahh,
Bambolina.” I let out a weary sigh. “That is a loaded question.”
“Humor me.”
Lina took a step closer. The moonlight danced off the soft features of her
face.
Jesus, she
was so fucking beautiful.
“I want to
kiss you.” I inched toward her, unable to resist the magnetic pull I felt
whenever I was around her. “I want to finish what we started earlier. I want to
feel you beneath me, hear you cry my name.”
I want
to make you mine.
“You
couldn’t get away from me fast enough earlier.” Her confused gaze cut me like a
thousand tiny blades over my skin.
“It’s not
what you think,” I said, moving closer still. Lina mirrored my movements until
we were standing in front of each other.
Until she
was close enough to touch.
“What’s
happening to us, Nicco?” she whispered. “Why do I feel like this?”
“What do
you feel like?” I brushed the hair off her neck. She had a thick hoodie pulled
over her body, but I was still able to stroke the skin beneath her ear. Lina’s
eyes drifted closed as she inhaled a shaky breath.
“I look for
you when you’re not there. I feel you when you’re close. I can’t get you out of
my head.” Her eyes opened again, fixing on mine. She smiled and it was like a bolt
of lightning to my heart.

"I'd wanted her. Plain and simple. And the more time I spent around her, the more I wanted to make her mine."
5 Forbidden Love Stars!! Romeo and Juliet have never been hotter!!!
Arianne is the daughter of Roberto Capizola and she's heir to her father's fortune. She's led a very sheltered life and she's always been protected. She craves some sort of normalcy and she gets that when she gets to go off to college, but under a new name. Nicco is the son of Antonio Marchetti, and he's the mob boss' son. And he's done his fair share of crime and has seen things most kids his age have not. He's a tough guy, but his heart softens when he meets Arianne. These two worlds collide, but they can't be together, and every time they think they can make a step forward something comes and knocks them off their feet!
OMG I don't even know where to begin!!! This book is an updated version of Romeo & Juliet, but think more mafia-esque! I loved the tension and the twists and turns this book took. I was hooked and couldn't put it down. But be warned this does end in one EPIC cliffhanger that will leave you gasping for air!!!

I tucked
the helmet into my chest and gave her a small nod. “You should go inside.” My
eyes flicked beyond her to the door.
“I think
I’ll have to go around front.”
“Your key
operates both doors.”
“Oh, okay.”
Lina rocked on her kitten heeled boots. I couldn’t resist letting my eyes sweep
down her body again. She was everything I could never have.
Everything
I’d never wanted.
Until
now.
I
swallowed, lifting my gaze to hers. “Go on.”
“Goodnight,
Nicco.” Lina smiled.
“Goodnight.”
She didn’t
move. Her eyes didn’t leave me even for a second. Slowly, she walked over to me
and slid her hand against my face. “Thank you, for coming to my rescue again.”
There was a playful lilt in her voice.
“Anytime,
Bambolina.” I smirked but it was wiped away when Lina leaned in, her lips
brushing my cheek. She hesitated just for a second, but it was enough for me to
turn my head and let my lips slide against hers.
Rookie.
Fucking. Mistake.
The moment
I tasted her, everything shifted. All I could think about now was pulling her
down on my bike and devouring her. She tasted too good. Too tempting.
She tasted
like my fucking downfall.
“Nicco.” My
name was a whisper against my lips as I ran my tongue against the seam of her
mouth. My hand slid into Lina’s hair, anchoring her to me as I kissed her
deeper, harder. Her body shuddered, a soft sigh getting lost between us. I
wanted to paint her skin with my lips, brand every inch of her. This wasn’t
even a real kiss. It was fleeting and cautious. But I already knew I wanted
more.
I wanted
everything this girl—this stranger—had to give.
“What are
you doing?” she whispered when I paused, my lips hovering over the corner of
her mouth. “Nicco, what are—”
I jerked
back as if I’d been struck by lightning. “You should go, Lina. I’ll wait until
you’re inside.”
“I see.”
Her lips thinned as she stepped back, putting a thousand miles between us, the
invisible tether between us almost snapping. “Well, I guess I’ll be going
then.” She didn’t hesitate this time. Lina walked away from me with her head
held high, without so much as a backward glance.
It was no
less than I deserved, but it hurt all the same.
I wanted
her.
I wanted
Lina the way I’d never wanted another girl before. But I couldn’t be that guy.
I couldn’t give her hearts and flowers and romance.
I couldn’t
be the prince she deserved, because my life wasn’t a fairytale.
