//"love can either heal you or tear you to pieces"// 19-year-old college sophomore, Brooklyn, has dealt with more than her fair share of trauma. After years of being abused and exploited by her father for her beauty, Brook ran away from home and downed a disguise. Now, she is living on her own, taking classes and working as a busgirl at a strip club to make ends meet. Although she still gets bullied for her disguise's appearance and sexually harassed at her job, she continues to fight. Yet, her life soon changes when she suddenly finds herself in the middle of a mafia meeting. Maverick, a cold 22-year-old business prodigy, runs his company and mafia with an iron fist, showing no mercy to any who dares to defy him. Due to his cold-blooded rule, everyone fears him. He's learned not to trust o one and doesn't let anyone into his heart.........that is until he met the resilient Brooklyn. Will they be able to mend each other's broken hearts or destroy one another? *Warning: This is gonna be cliché as fuck. This book also contains mature content. It is not for the faint of heart. If violence, swearing, or sexual behavior triggers you, do not read this. * Also, this is my first book. It probably wont be good, so read at your own risk.
