I fell in love with Dante Moretti, never knowing he was once engaged to my older sister, Celeste Hart. It was the kind of secret that changed everything.

Raised to be holy. Born into something far more dangerous. Evienne Ellery spent her life preparing for heaven. Sent away to a secluded boarding school in the Swiss Alps by distant, unfeeling adoptive parents, she was raised by nuns and priests to be obedient, submissive and small. Behind stone chapels and cold classrooms, Evienne learned early that love was conditional, punishment was holy, and suffering was something to be endured quietly Her future was simple: be good, be faithful, and one day do her duty-marry a man who would secure her family's interests. Her life was planned. Controlled. Perfect. Until it wasn't. When everything she knows collapses, Evienne is torn from the only world she has ever known and sent to live with her biological family-six brothers who are loud, vulgar, violent, and unapologetically criminal. They don't pray. They don't obey. And they certainly don't believe in God the way she was taught. They believe in blood. With them, she learns the truth of who she really is: The lost princess of one of the most powerful mafia families in the world. Her brothers have been searching for her for years, and now that they've found her, they refuse to lose her again. In their world of power, crime, and betrayals, Evienne learns that love doesn't always look gentle-and protection often comes with a body count. But as old family feuds resurface, enemies close in, and the past she was hidden from begins to reach for her, Evienne is forced to confront an impossible question: What happens when the people you love will never be welcome in heaven-and you're no longer sure you want to go without them?

Zoey Grace is a newly assigned nurse to the most intimidating wrestler on the roster. His nurses never last, rotated out one after another for reasons no one will explain. Whispers trail behind his name, but no one knows the truth. Zoey, stubborn and quietly determined, sets herself one goal: she will be the longest-lasting nurse assigned to the big bad wrestler. What she doesn't know is that James Ashwood isn't just a wrestler. Behind the bruises, the silence, and the carefully controlled violence of the ring, James is an undercover detective, hiding in plain sight, chasing something far more dangerous than titles or belts. And Zoey's presence threatens to unravel more than just his carefully built reputation.

[MATURE CONTENT] Donovan Reza was the proud owner of Mireza; a business globally known as one of the most technologically moving luxury car brands. What followed market domination wasn't just a string of businesses jotting down every chess move, rather the threat that executives would do anything to reclaim the king's throne. Getting ahead of your competition was one thing, but after almost a fifty year long family feud with rival company, Douxis, it wasn't just a matter of keeping on your toes. Blackmail. Lawsuits. Corporate espionage. Their violent competition spilled more blood than ever imagined. And their last, desperate resort may turn out to be Donovan's biggest threat.

A prophecy followed Dmitri Volkov like a curse. It claimed he carried the soul of Olkov, the first vampire, a creature so ancient that even legends faltered when speaking his name. Dmitri never cared for prophecies, but the world did. His parents feared what lived in him. His people bowed to him. One wrong look from him could decide who survived the night. Still, there was a truth he never admitted. He wanted the bond his kind had lost. The kind of love that could break an immortal in half and rebuild him. He mocked it when he saw it in others, but he longed for it in silence. He sat hidden in the darkest corner of his Russian club, bourbon sharp on his tongue, bass shaking the floor under his boots. The room pulsed with heat and sin, but none of it touched him. Then it came. A scent. Soft. Warm. Alive. It hit him so hard his chest tightened. His guards tensed as he sat forward, hair falling from his face. The noise faded. The crowd blurred. He followed the scent like it pulled him by the spine. A voice followed it. Gentle. Shy. Tinged with irritation. It slid through the room and wrapped around him like a tether. His eyes found her. Red hair cascading to her waist. Golden skin lit up by the neon glow. A camera at her side. She stood in a world she did not belong to, unaware of the predator watching her from the shadows. He begged her to turn. She did. Their eyes met, and her soft gasp shattered something inside him. For the first time in centuries, Dmitri Volkov felt his dead heart try to wake. * I DO NOT OWN THE PICTURE *

Leila never thought she'd be stuck in a relationship with one of the most dangerous men in the city. Kage is possessive, cruel, and the embodiment of everything she hates. Leila wants out. She dreams of the day Kage decides to leave her alone. Through constant threats and blackmail, Leila knows it's impossible. That is until she runs into Adriano- the head of the Sartori Mafia, and an old friend who she hadn't seen in years. He always thought about her. He always cared for her, and seeing her? It only brought back memories of how she made him feel. He wants her. And Leila ignores how badly she wants him too. She knows it's dangerous. Adriano doesn't care. He'd do anything to protect her. Even if that means facing his biggest rival in the country, Kage.

𝗜𝗩𝗢𝗥𝗬 𝗝𝗘𝗡𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗦 is the perfect little ballerina - soft-spoken, obedient, and untouched by the world that sold her. To everyone else, she's just a quiet girl with lowered eyes and pointed toes. But 𝗥𝗔𝗙𝗔𝗘𝗟 𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗢 knows better. He sees the way her hands tremble. The way her smile doesn't reach her eyes. The way she obeys like she's afraid not to. And it pulls him in. She was promised to him-a contract sealed in blood, not love-and now she belongs to a man as cold as he is calculated and controlling. Rafael doesn't crave her affection. He isn't looking to be wanted. What he wants is to unravel her. To possess every piece of the girl the world calls delicate. But Ivory isn't fragile. She's fractured. And the closer he gets, the more she falls apart for him. In a world of shadows, power, and pain, their connection becomes something twisted. Addictive. Dangerous. Because when you give yourself to a monster... you don't get to choose what parts of you he keeps. And when control slips... Desire takes its place. And Rafael never loses.
