'You're not going anywhere, Clara. You're not running away from this.' Everything I felt for him, everything that could ruin me, raged to rip apart and crash at his feet. He gently lifted my chin with one finger, his mouth hovering over mine. 'I'm the last person in this world you can hide from. How many times do I have to remind you?' ⚠️ WHOLESOME & ANGSTY MAFIA ROMANCE ⚠️ After stealing his enemy's daughter, Daniel Volkov never expects to be the one who gets captivated. Clara Rossi was not afraid to fight back. Especially with Volkov, who provoked her like it was an art form. He was chaotic, cunning, and unpredictable. Not to mention, annoyingly charming and sometimes even thoughtful. Except none of that mattered. They had a fractured past. A hopeless future. And a million reasons to never be together. HEARTWARMING REVIEWS FROM MY READERS "This was everything for me, dark romances are sometimes so toxic and I don't understand the need of toxicity in them cuz they can be written beautifully like you wrote it. Starting with Volkov, he's a protector without being controlling, he listens to everyone and never exerts his power on anyone. And Clara, oh how I love her so much, she's such a strong person from the start. She was as much of a protector as Volkov was. This is gonna have a special place im my heart always ♥️" - Maddylewis998-" - This book is very different from what you'd expect a mafia romance or dark romance to be. Daniel was a like a fresh Breeze. He has issues but knows his boundaries. These are the men you want to be with. Gentlemen but know when to not be one. And our female MC. My girl has brains. Knows when to do what. Our girl knows what she wants." - Mierda_you

One of the most powerful man in the world. He was called Octavius. Cruel, coldblooded, and completely unobtainable. The Devil in a Brioni suit. The mere whisper of his name was like lethal poison that burned through the hearts of millions. Penetrating, and clear amber eyes that made grown men weep, and women burned with seduction. Behind the curtains, no one knew what he looked like yet he was always in control. It was a reputation he had fought to establish, one that brought him power, wealth and just about... everything. When a series of unfortunate events lands her into the very strong, powerful arms of Octavius, it was everything she'd been warned about. The beautiful brute, Octavius, moody and controlling in every aspect. She had never met a man as brutal, and stormy as him, someone she couldn't help but sprout wild, random phrases to, and offer hugs. A man that always gets what and who he wants because that's how his life works. Until it doesn't. Until he stumbles into a five-feet angel with the sweetest smile, and adamant about being friends. - preview - "Has any man ever made you so crazy you thought you'd die if you didn't get his cock inside of you? If you couldn't feel his fingers digging into your thighs as he spread you open and devoured you whole? Have you ever come over and over, so hard and so many times you couldn't be sure where one ended and the other began?" His strong, veined hands gripped the backside of my bare thigh, tracing over my skin, itching higher and higher and I could feel a deep ache building inside my lower region. My mouth slacked, at a loss for words, all I could do was whimper softly under his possessive touches. "Answer me." Big, forceful hands caressed my chin, almost gripping my neck, only retracting as I let out a tiny breathless sigh. His dark deep amber eyes were on fire with a carnal sexuality that I had never seen before. "Use your words."
