New name. New appearance. New person. Fresh start. When Lexie McAdams arrives in Philadelphia with barely enough money to cover a crappy motel's night stay, she's desperate to find a job. Coming across a gym with a help wanted sign in the window, Lexie is hesitant at first but quickly realizes she has no choice. Little did she know, that stepping foot inside would bring her one step closer to finding her escape. ~~~~~ "What's that on your wrist, Poptart?" He asks, his eyes flashing in anger as they narrowed in on the faded purpled shadows on my skin. "Nothing!" I quickly pull my arm out of his grasp, pulling at the sleeves of my shirt. Shit. Shit. Shit. How could I have been so careless about covering those up? "Lexie." He growled as he leaned in and gently took my hands in his. "Let me see." WARNING: THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE CONTENT |18+|.

Will two monsters find solace in each other's arms or will they kill each other? ---------------------------- "I don't recall signing up for strip poker." She replied. Her full lips frowned softly but her eyes were filled with amusement. She knew she couldn't beat me, not at this game. "Are you quitting? Are you a quitter?" I mocked getting under her skin. Her lips twitched before she pursed them tightly. The blues of her eyes deepened and she threw me a dangerous smirk. She shuffled and pulled off one of her sandals. Fuck. So we're doing this the long way. She raised it in the air, dangling it off her finger before tossing it aside. She raised a brow at me, she challenged me. I knew I got under her skin. Just as I had anticipated. -------------------------- BE AWARE: Trigger warnings: MATURE CONTENT 18+ (SMUT) SWEARING VIOLENCE/GUN VIOLENCE SELF HARM/SUICIDE (REFERENCES) EXPLICIT LANGUAGE REFERENCES TO RAPE SMOKING/ALCOHOL/DRUGS BLOOD/DEATH/GORE ©️ All rights reserved ™️ The Walnut Tree BOOK ONE OF THE MAFIA SERIES

"Eli! Seriously this is ridiculous let me down!" I yell as I pound furiously on his back. "Not a chance. And don't ever wear something like that to a fight again." "It's just a tank top calm down. Can you please let me down? Your butt is in my face." "All the better for the view. Every pig in there was undressing you with their eyes." "Oh why do you even care?" Suddenly my upside down world got flipped and pinned between the wall and his body. "Because I'm the only one that should get to think of you like that." His piercing grey eyes were on fire as he held his face just above mine. "Did you drink before your fight? Because there is no way you mean what you just implied. " His tongue flickered across his lips as he smirked. "For once in your life stop fighting and just enjoy this." "Enjoy wha-" His lips crashed onto mine. Hungry, alive, full of passion I had only seen him use in the ring. I didn't want to fight him, fight this, fight his kiss. And he was right, for once in my life, I didn't. **** A Fighter is not born. A fighter is not raised. A fighter is made; only if the fight choses you, and you survive. Dakota Matthias has earned the right to be called a fighter. Her greatest opponent is perhaps the only man in her corner. But fighters are always competitive with each other, on every level. And Eli may just be the fire she needs to win her biggest fight, and give into his. Fight for your Family. Fight for Love. Fight for Yourself.

He walked towards me and I kept stepping backwards and stopped when my back hit the wall. He placed his two hands on either side of the wall as if trying to cage me in his arms. His face just millimetres apart from my face. He glanced at my lips and then looked back at me into my eyes. Then he leaned in towards my ear. I could feel his hot breath on my neck that increased my own breaths. He whispered in his spectacularly seductive voice... "Things have just started tesoro. You haven't seen any of it . You will do exactly what I said." He pulled away from me and flashed his signature smirk. Then he kept walking until he glanced back and said... "Fino alla prossima volta, amore" He walked away from me leaving all my emotions puzzled. I stood and kept staring at the door asking myself only one question "What is he doing to me?"

He is the king of the largest mafia in the world, ready for a loveless arranged marriage and refuses to show mercy to anyone. What happens when the two of them cross paths and everything changes? Julia is determined not to fall for the devil and Reed doesn't believe he is capable of love. Will they fall for one another in the complicated world of danger and lust? Or will they realise that the mafia king truly is 'heartless'? "Excuse me?" he said, slowly making his way back over to me. "I said that I'm not coming with you." I mumbled in a tone a lot less demanding. He held my chin between his fingers, just as Logan had earlier that night, but this mysterious stranger was a lot stronger. His scent filled my senses and I began to feel lightheaded. He inched his face closer to mine, forcing me to stare deeply into his eyes. The tension could have been cut with a knife. "It's cute that you think you have a choice sweetheart." he whispered, sending shivers down my spine. _______________ DISCLAIMERS: All of these ideas belong to me, don't steal them!
