"Oh, little crybaby, you don't know what you're asking me for," Gabriel spoke darkly, his voice so deep it sent a jolt straight through me. His gazed shifted, boring into me as his breath mingled with mine. "Run, piagnona," he warned lowly, "Run as fast as you can and pray I don't catch you again cause I can promise that I won't deny myself the pleasure of ruining you a second time." ------ A story in which a catholic school girl becomes obsessed with the walking devil reincarnate. She wants nothing more than to be good, but his temptation is just so sweet.

He made the rules. I was never supposed to break them. Isabella Romano was born into bloodlines and betrayal. She was supposed to be protected. Instead, she's being married off to the one man she hates most - Lucian Moretti. Cold. Dangerous. Untouchable. He's the heir to a mafia empire, and now... her husband. Their marriage was meant to end a war. But love was never part of the deal. In a world of power, passion, and broken vows - she must survive him... or ruin him. 🖤 For fans of enemies to lovers, arranged marriage, dark romance, and morally grey men who don't play fair.

Antonio DeSimone is a man with a vision-a criminal empire that stretches beyond the shadows of Los Angeles, built on power, fear, and an insatiable thirst for more. Blood fuels him, loyalty binds him, and love has no place in his world. Until the night he crosses paths with Evangelia Wren. Evangelia, heir to the country's most influential media empire, first sees him at a crime scene-an untouchable phantom in the dark. He lets her go. She prays never to see him again. But Antonio doesn't believe in fate. He bends it to his will. And when he sets his sights on Eva, escape is no longer an option. Forced into a marriage that feels more like a cage, Eva fights to reclaim the life stolen from her. But when she sets out to unearth the truth about her long-lost mother, Antonio follows, dragging his ghosts with him. As they bury their dead, new horrors rise-secrets that threaten to tear them apart, or bind them forever in a love as dark as the graves they stand over. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ •strong language and mature content• DAILY UPDATES

Serenity [Sir-ren-ity] : The state of being calm, peaceful, and untroubled. Chaos [Kay-os] : Complete disorder and confusion. ♕♕♕ With being the Don of one of the biggest and baddest mafia families Luciano was never at ease with himself. He never felt like he was sane. Always shedding blood, murdering, selling drugs, robbing banks. He was so much chaos. He needed peace. Serenity's life was agonizingly calm. She thought it was boring with her simple routine of wake up, eat, read, sleep, maybe- if she's lucky, go out with friends, then repeat. Boring cycle of truth. She wanted some spice. Some chaos. ♕♕♕ "I just told you that I'm making you come with me to Italy- a whole other country and you're response was 'YES' ?" Luciano watched me with admiration in his dark grey eyes. I shrugged, "Yeah. I'm bored. Like..painfully bored." Luciano's eyebrow stayed raised and his eyes stayed admiring my words. "Aren't you a little crazy thing huh Bella..I'll keep that in mind." ♕♕♕ Ever since that 1 night Serenity went out with her college friend group and ran into a murder/torture fight in the tight alley way of Chicago, she's been on Luciano's mind. As him, on hers. The two were attracted to each other because of good and bad things. Luciano's attraction to Serenity was simply because her aura radiated that she was sane. Safe. Serenity's attraction to Luciano was the complete opposite. Call her crazy if you will but, a tall, handsome, Italian mafia Don was exactly what she was craving for.

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 ✧ 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐷𝑎𝑟𝑘 𝑅𝑜𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑬𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑱𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒔 ✦ He is everywhere in my mind. My peace. My storm. My madness. I still don't know why he agreed to marry me. There's a motive - I know there is. A man like him doesn't play games without a reason. But strangely, I don't care. I should. But I don't. Because I don't want him for love. I don't want him for peace. I want him because he's mine. I've said it before, and I'll scream it again - If I ever leave him, I'll kill him, then kill myself, and find him in hell. 𝑰𝒗𝒂𝒏 𝑺𝒐𝒌𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒗 ✦ I'll marry her. I'll use her. I'll break her. And when my revenge is complete, I'll throw her out of my life like yesterday's deal. But right now? Fuck it. She's really something. I thought she was trying to prove her worth to the corporate world, beating me in tenders, stealing headlines. But no. Here she is - beating me in my own game. And I'm willingly walking into her trap. Smiling. ──⋆⋅☆⋅⋆── Don't judge this book before 10 Chapters...ᯓ ᡣ𐭩

"He looked at her like he just realized what love is." ✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩ "Can I..." I hesitated for a moment, but because it's the one thing I needed most, I pushed through, "will you just hold me for a minute." He didn't hesitate and tugged me against his chest. His arms wrapped tightly around me, and then I felt his breaths warming the top of my head. Slowly, I turned my cheek, and then I listened to his steady heartbeat. I shoved all my fear, my confusion, and my uncertain feelings for him aside and allowed myself to be weak. I closed my eyes, and grabbing hold of his sides, I fisted the fabric of his shirt. Before the tears come, I pulled away from him but he took one look at my face then yanked me back to him. Emotions whirled in my chest, and then a new one joined the chaos. Affection. It's as if he knows exactly what I need without me having to say a word. He pressed kisses against my hair, his voice an anchor that kept me from drowning as he murmured, "It's okay, love." Another kiss, and his arms clamped tightly around me. "You have me."
