❝Why do you have a tongue piercing?❞ I asked, observing the other piercings he had and the designs inked on his skin. I'd never seen so much work done on one person before. ❝What's the purpose?❞
A playful grin quirked on to his lips, challenging me. ❝Would you rather I tell you or show you its purpose?❞

At nineteen-years-old, Sophia Álvarez has everything a girl her age could ever want. A trustworthy best friend, high markings in her college classes, and a loving family. Everything in her world is calm and full of structure.
She's content with what the universe has served her until one fateful night causes her to cross paths with a mysterious man. After only one interaction with the tattooed and mean-spirited college senior, Bryce Matthews, Sophia's life suddenly changes from being calm to being chaotic.
Their love is just as undeniable as it is dangerous. He's everything she shouldn't want. He's harsh and cold to everyone he knows - besides her. In the end, it's their differences that charge their relationship, adding fuel to the fire and giving them a reason to fight for their love. But when dark pasts, obsessive exes, and deceptive friends threaten their relationship and their lives, will Sophia draw the line and say enough is enough or will she stick around for the long haul?

This novel has:
-Violence🔪
-Swearing🙊
-Smut 🍆
(but smut will be in a separate chapters and you can skip them. It's the ones with "part two" added).
-Unrealistic Expectations from the love interest ❤
⚠️Some topics may not be suitable for sensitive/easily offended readers. ⚠️
Read at your own risk.
I'm planning on this being one of my more mature novels. So if you don't like reading sex scenes, then this is not the book for you. You could skip those bits though if you want to. I do not promote or condone the actions done by my characters. I'm merely the creator.
N O T E :
THIS BOOK IS SET IN THE YEAR 1993.
📼
Expect nineties slang, pagers, slow internet or no internet at all for some households, cassette tape players, and really retro fashion choices that were perfectly normal.
Also this is a New Adult novel set in college.

The song in the background for this video is a live performance of the Neighbourhood singing a mash-up of "Say My Name" and "Cry Me A River." [ update: I changed Brooklyn's cast. You'll see that in one of the chapters. I added a photo in chapter 8 of who she's been replaced by ].
