"The Hacker and the Mob Boss" ❦ Reyna Fields seems to be an ordinary girl with her thick-framed glasses, baggy clothes, hair always up in a ponytail, and her head tucked away behind a computer screen. However, no one knows she's armed with a genius IQ and a heart of gold. She hacks her way into virtual systems on a search for her mother. Unfortunately for her, she has hacked into the wrong database. She hacked into the database of the notorious mob boss, Santino "Saint" Venturi. Saint is the opposite of his name. He's known for his ruthlessness. As a mob boss to a mafia, he learned to eat or be eaten. When Reyna stumbles upon his database, a plan dispersed into his mind. He's going to take her. ❦ "I don't share, angel." "He's a friend," she found herself saying. Dante was too busy staring at her to notice the fiery glare in Saint's eyes. She was mentally praying that Dante would just look away. His fingers trailed up her leg before his hand latched onto her sex. He held her there while a small gasp left her lips. "I will fuck you on this table if he doesn't stop looking at what belongs to me." ❦ READ BOOK 2 -> The Kingmaker HIGHEST RANKING: #5 romance - 6/26/22 Dark Romance Cover by @-simplyhan

"You are mine!" He roars. "I will do whatever it takes to make you know that. Whether it means I lock you up in a prison and throw away the key." Footsteps come rushing into the dining room, and I turn to see multiple men--guards I suppose, flanking one another. Each of their hands rest on things within their jackets. Which i can only guess are guns. What else would they be? He waves them off and stalks towards me, standing behind my chair. I try to turn my head to look behind me, at him, but his hands move to the sides of my face, stopping me. "I can give you the world Mia. I am no fool. I know that love takes time, and I will give you as much as it takes. But you are mine." He says so calmly. -------------------------- When Mia Jones, a College student from Australia with a mysterious past is offered the opportunity to work as a translator for a man she had never heard of in New York City, she had assumed it would be a normal job, little did she know it would be the end of her freedom.

Winston gave up everything for love - his future, his stability, his sense of self. So when he walks in on his high school sweetheart betraying him, it doesn't just break his heart, it shatters what little he had left. Desperate to escape the pain, one reckless night sends Winston spiraling even further, leaving him with a life-altering consequence he never saw coming. Jonathan has already lost too many people to believe in happy endings. Loss has carved him into someone quieter, colder, someone whose world has narrowed to one purpose: being there for his twin daughters. They are his focus, his reason, and the only light he allows himself to hold onto. There's no room for new attachments. No space for hope; or at least, that's what he tells himself. Until Winston. There's something about the wounded man that Jonathan can't seem to ignore. And Winston, despite everything he's been through, starts to see a steadiness in Jonathan he didn't know he was missing. Two guarded hearts, one unexpected connection, and a chance at something neither of them thought they deserved. Because sometimes, healing starts in the most unlikely place; with someone who understands exactly how it feels to fall apart.
