ter all, my visit to Elijah was just a kindness; there was nothing romantic about it. I slipped the coat over my shoulders and returned to the kitchen, feeling relieved that Hazel was gone. I looked at my wristwatch, checking the time. I still had an hour before I had to pick Audrey up from school. From

ade it look like no one had looked through them in years. I held the container tightly in my hands and climbed the three flights of stairs, towards the front door. I noticed that the boards that made up the porch were misaligned and some of them seemed loose. A layer of dirt accumulated in the corners, as if no one had bothered to sweep or clean for a long time. I cleared my throat and took a deep breath, gathering the courage to knock on

the main house, before turning to the shed in front of me. With careful steps, I approached the shed door, my heart beating faster with every inch I advanced. - Elijah! - I called for him. My voice sounded almost like a shaky whisper, but I got no response, just the hollow echo of my own voice in the air. I took a deep breath and, with a mix of nervousness and determination, I peered into the open space. Despite the dim light, I managed to glimpse the silhouette of an easel, on which a canvas rested, filled with a drawing that I couldn't identify. The class

Even though the tension grew between us, I couldn't help but be captivated by his presence. The rebellious youth that had once lived in his eyes had evolved to an intriguing depth, making his features even more magnetic. His once rebellious and long dark hair, now shorter, fell in disheveled locks, giving him an attractive appearance. The amber gaze reflected a complex mix of bitterness, suffering and veiled secrets. The full lips, however, closed by imminent anger, took me back to

“inspiration and enthusiasm for the literary world have declined, but the blockage was due to personal problems (between me and myself). I ended up isolating myself from this profile, from writing and reading, I apologize for that, but I was comfortable with this seclusion. It was a necessary break and helped me reorganize my thoughts. I'm still working to improve, however, I can see progress. In the meantime, I dedicated myself to learning crafts, as therapy. I crocheted and macramé (I recommend) I even sold some pieces, oh and I created a brand, but back to writing, I hope you enjoy reading. It was a birth so to speak lol, however, the feeling of accomplishment prevails. Ah, this is my first story set in another country, I did a lot of research and obviously, I used a bit of poetic license to develop the plot, so I apologize in advance if any inconsistencies arise. Furthermore, I want to say that I'm coming back, or trying to come back, without putting too much pressure on myself, and I hope you're still around to read my stories. A big kiss and enjoy the story! SYNOPSIS The first time I saw Elijah Richards, I knew immediately he was going to be trouble, but I've always had an irresistible attraction to trouble. The boy labeled as the 'problem boy' by the city's gossips quickly became my world, only to soon break my heart when he ordered me to disappear from his life. Returning to my hometown was not part of my plans, especially after a failed marriage and a fugitive husband. And rekindling feelings for someone who made it clear that I was just a fling was far from my desires. However, with each encounter, amid intense stares and an almost tangible tension in the air, even at moments when he treated me with hostility, or behaved like a real asshole, it became increasingly difficult to ignore the magnetism that kept drawing us to each other. PROLOGUE Eleven Years Before Elijah Richards was the most unique boy I had ever met, but it was precisely his strange uniqueness that attracted me. I met him once in the cemetery, the afternoon we buried my father. He was a police officer and was killed on duty by a local drug dealer. According to the news that emerged shortly after his death, Dad was corrupt and received what he deserved. People just turned their backs on my mother and me; almost no one showed up at the funeral. That day, I was overcome with irritation, with everything and everyone in that small town. When the funeral finally ended, I refused to get into my mother's car and drove alone down the path that led to the deserted road at the back of the cemetery. - Don't wander around late! - Mom shouted as the car started to move. She walked past me, kicking up dust, and just walked away. It could just be my paranoia, but it seemed to me that she was almost happy...”
