FIRST BOOK OF THE VELVET & VOWS SERIES ♟️❤️‍🔥! ------------------------ Isabella Romano left her parents with nothing but a dream. Years later, she is a famous fashion designer with her own luxury brand in New York. Power. Money. Success. She has it all. What she doesn't know... is that New York is owned by the mafia. And the man who controls it is Matteo Lorenzo Moretti. Their worlds should never collide. But when they do, there is no escape. Because Matteo never loses what belongs to him. And once he sets his eyes on Isabella... she becomes his obsession. ----------- "Dio, Isabella... guarda cosa fai a me." (God, Isabella... look what you're doing to me.) he murmured, my name falling from his lips like a warning and a confession at the same time. I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly too tight. He lifted his hand, slow enough that I could've stepped back. I didn't. His fingers brushed my waist. Just barely. A ghost of a touch. But it lit every nerve in my body on fire. I exhaled shakily, my voice barely a whisper. "Matteo..." His jaw flexed. His eyes dropped to my lips. Heat rippled through the space between us. And then - completely undone - he whispered, "Fuck it." Before I even realized he'd moved, his mouth crushed against mine. The kiss hit me like a shock - fierce, hungry, weeks of tension igniting in one impossible explosion. His hand slid behind my neck, pulling me into him as if he'd been holding back a storm and finally let it break loose. ------------ #1 gunfights - 01/22/2026 - 01/25/2026 #1 fashiondesigner 01/25/2026 #1 badboy 01/25/2025

Harmony thought her reign as Queen of the Lycan Kingdom was nothing more than a dream - a vivid world conjured while she lay unconscious in a hospital bed. But when shadows with dark violet eyes begin to stir in the waking world, she realizes that what she lived was not fantasy, but memory. The veil between realms has thinned, and new enemies, much older than the council, start to rise. Now torn between her human life and the world of crowns and wolves, Harmony must protect the people she loves while unraveling the mystery of why she was brought back. Eros - the mate she once ruled beside - haunts her dreams with warnings of war, and whispers of traitors suggest that the Council's reach extends beyond the kingdom she left behind. As shadows walk freely between worlds, Harmony will be forced to choose: return to the throne and embrace the power of the Old Queen once more, or risk both realms collapsing into ruin. But this time, the war will not be fought in dreams alone. "This book is not a stand alone! You must read Harmony of the Moon first"
