I’m from a place where you eat or get eaten. Two gangs are at war, and I’m hungry for survival. Growing up in a broken town doesn’t make you a good man. In fact, the North Shore of the Falls has made me merciless.
I survive because I’m a good soldier for the North Shore Crew. I’m cool-headed, I never lose sight of my goals, and my only obsession is to wrench our town from the clutches of our sworn enemies, the Kings. Alexandra Delacroix is just a job. Plain and simple. She lives in our neighboring town, in the millionaires’ heaven they call Stoneview.
The plan is charm her, uncover incriminating information about her senator father, and tip the balance of power in our favor. But unlike the other rich girls from Stoneview I use as toys, Alexandra is kind, selfless… sweet. Sickeningly so. A bright pink cupcake with glitter and sprinkles on the icing. That kind of sweet. We have nothing in common. Nothing but the secrets we keep. And before I know it, my priorities change. Before I know it… Alexandra Delacroix is my new obsession.

Heartless Beloved is the second book in the North Shore Stories but can be read as a standalone.
Please, read the content warning inside the book.

This book has quite a few TW so I would definitely look into these before reading this dark romance.
Everything about this book was fantastic the chemistry the feelings they had for one another the character development were all on par. Xi and Alex have a whirlwind of things that happen between them, There were moments I was emersed into the story that I needed to pick up my jaw off the floor. After reading the first one I thought that the second one wouldn’t be able to top it but this one is way above anything that I had anticipated it was wonderful. I can’t wait for the next one.
