Even a Diamond can be shattered...
After the owner of a security company is murdered, his sharp-edged wife goes on the run. Forced to abandon everything she holds dear - her home, her friends, her job in special ops - she builds a new life for herself in England. As Ashlyn Hale, she meets Luke, a handsome local who makes her realise just how lonely she is.
Yet, even in the sleepy village of Lower Foxford, the dark side of life dogs Diamond's trail when the unthinkable strikes. Forced out of hiding, she races against time to save those she cares about. But is it too little, too late?
**WARNING**
If you want sweetness and light and all things bright,
Diamond's not the girl for you.
She's got sass, she's got snark, and she's moody and dark,
As she does what a girl's got to do.

"If being sarcastic burned calories, you would have been one hell of a skinny bitch." __ Catching her ex banging a work colleague on their bed was the last straw that broke Camille's back. She is an obstinate woman that knows what she wants and goes for it and she is sharp-mouthed with the tendency to slay people with her tongue, a weapon of massive destruction that makes her a walking time bomb.

At night, he is an alpha to a dangerous pack and a billionaire mafia boss. During the day, he is a sweet cocky bastard, viciously good-looking, a renowned fuck boy with an acute skirt-chasing habit, and a gym instructor who happens to be a strong unbeliever of love.

A story of two witty creatures that even the creator of the world watches with amusement and finds rather intriguing. Perhaps obesity doesn't hinder the magnetic spark of true love.Complete

Cole Elrod is the heir to the Elrod Group of Companies. A dangerously handsome man with far too many issues to count, he embodies the term "beautiful chaos." His closest resemblance? A modern-day psychopath-charming yet unpredictable, with looks that could set the world on fire. But beneath his cold exterior lies a man haunted by a traumatic past, a childhood that shaped his volatile personality. Just when he thought no one could reach him, Isabelle Archer walks into his life-a golden key to his locked heart. Isabelle is sweet, bubbly, and fiercely curious-sometimes to a fault. She's an asthmatic girl with a fire inside her, but mess with her, and you'll see her claws. Isabelle has her own "syndrome"-an insatiable curiosity that pulls her toward the enigma of Cole Elrod. But in her mind, all hot billionaires are jerks. Is she right about Cole? Oh, absolutely. Then there's Leo Leavitt-the man who'd sleep with you without bothering to learn your name. Tall, magnetic, and an unapologetic womanizer, Leo has no time for words like "commitment." He's the type to kiss one girl while seducing another right in front of her. Leo and Cole are what you'd call "born rivals." Despite working under Cole's company, Leo and Cole share a deep, mutual hatred. If Cole had a gun, he wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on Leo. And yet, Leo still works there. Why? There's a dark secret behind their rivalry-one that binds them in ways they both despise. As if things couldn't get messier, Leo crosses paths with Isabelle. Ever the optimist, she blindly befriends him, unaware of the chaos she's inviting into her life. Follow this intense tale of bitter hatred, fiery lust, and unexpected love as Cole and Isabelle navigate the storm that is their relationship-all while Leo does everything he can to rip them apart. --- CHECK OUT MY OTHER STORIES ON THIS ACCOUNT @CLARE1390 HIS EYES HELL IN HEAVEN: MISSION IMPOSSIBLE HELL IN HEAVEN: FLAME IN PARADISE (Coming Soon!)
