Tangled Desires Book One
She's a wallflower with a secret crush. He's the mysterious mini-mart regular who sees right through her. Every encounter sparks a dangerous dance of glances, whispers, and undeniable chemistry. Will her quiet adoration blossom into something real, or will his playful taunts lead her to a beautiful ruin?I think he knows I like him. No, I know he knows. It's in the way he leans on that crate outside the mini-mart like the whole world is just background noise. In the way he doesn't look at me until I'm looking at him, and even then, it's only for a second. Just enough to ruin my balance. Not enough to catch me falling.
His name is Zayn. He doesn't work at the mini-mart. He just... hangs out. Like he belongs there. Like the cracked tiles and dusty fridges were made to frame him.
And I hate that he's beautiful. Not the pretty-boy type. No. He's the type your mother would warn you about, even before you tell her you've noticed him. That jaw. That voice. That walk. He smells like cologne you can't afford and confidence you didn't ask for. And God... he knows.
