If someone offers to pay off your student loans in exchange for signing a non-disclosure agreement and moving into the middle of nowhere, you should probably ask more questions. I didn't. I was a broke grad student desperate for a lifeline, and the contract offered by the elusive billionaire was too good to pass up. My job was simple: live in a sprawling, heavily fortified glass mansion in the mountains, teach his eight-year-old daughter French and mathematics, and never, ever go into the West Wing of the house. I thought my new boss was just an eccentric, reclusive tech genius. He is devastatingly handsome, entirely silent, and moves through the mansion like a predatory ghost. He watches me with cold, pale eyes that make my pulse race for all the wrong reasons, but he is a devoted father, and the paychecks clear every week. I thought I was safe in his snowbound sanctuary. Until the night I accidentally wake up, walk into the wrong room, and see my quiet, eccentric boss standing over a man bleeding out on a plastic tarp, holding a suppressed pistol with the casual grace of a reaper. He isn't a tech genius. He is the head of the most ruthless Russo-American syndicate on the continent, and I have just seen exactly what he does in the dark. I know too much. I am a liability. I should be dead. But as the Don of the syndicate wipes the blood from his hands and locks the heavy steel doors of the mansion, trapping me inside with him, I realize that dying might have been the easier option. Because he doesn't want to silence me. He wants to keep me.

Ever since she's been a child, Leila Rossetti's sole ambition has been to seize control of The Cosa Nostra and avenge the childhood she lost by the claws her father, The Don. When she inadvertently declares war on the Russians, who have long held a vice grip on the underground, her plans go right in the trash giving way to a far more dangerous threat. Yet the overconfidence of the Italian assassin is nothing more than a source of amusement to Nikolai Romanov, king of The Bratva. Known for his ruthlessness and absolute control over Russia, he views Leila's reckless move as merely an entertaining spectacle, like a predator who only toys with its prey before devouring it. So what happens when The Pakhan finally decides to strike his prey? ________________________ His thumb traced the sensitive skin of my wrist, a slow rhythm that felt like he was counting my heartbeats. Then he leaned in, his lips hovering near my ear, not touching, yet the heat was enough to sear. "You're so beautiful. Even when you lie to me." I rolled my eyes, tilting my head back against his shoulder just to show him I wasn't afraid of the proximity, even while my skin screamed at the contact. "And you're still an arrogant bastard who thinks he can keep a throne just by sitting on it." "I don't just sit on it, milaya. I bleed for it. And occasionally, I make sure others bleed a little more." The vibration of his throaty chuckle sent shivers down my spine. "Now, tell me another lie. I want to see if you can make your heart rate match your tongue."

''He killed for her once. Now he'd do it again---if she just asked.'' 🍭 She looks normal and average enough. Sarcastic smile. Quiet eyes. The kind of girl who blends in.

'He hit me, and it felt like a kiss.' Cadence Levana Solace, seventeen years old, the bastard child of the ex-don of the Italian mafia. Born of mistakes and raised by hate, she is now a force to be reckoned with. Growing up with no knowledge of her biological mother, having to deal with the scrutiny of her stepmother and half-brothers, and the abuse of her father, impacts her dearly. Now, at the ripe age of eight, she's being sent away by her family to a boarding school. Due to the reckless endeavors of her fathers late night, drunken research, she is sent off to a boarding school for assassins. Years of torture and assualt leads Cade to become the most feared being in the underworld/mafia and the unofficial Queen of the underworld. Life is going...well enough for Cade when an anonymous tip leads to the school being under investigation and temporarily shut down. Now she's back with the family who sent her away. But here's the thing, my dear readers; I created this book with the romance and couple in mind. Not the family. This book isn't about Cade going back to being a victim who just takes the hits and insults like that's all she can do. No, this book is about her becoming the abuser, about her being hit and hitting back and fucking loving it. About her being choked, thrust into, and fucked without her consent, so she does it back. And she doesn't leave the relationship. Because in this book, pain doesn't mean leaving, it means wanting to bruise everywhere so that the next time they look in the mirror, they see who they belong to written all over their body. This, Dearest readers, is the Tale of Wrath. Book One in the 'Tale Of Sins' Series. All the books in that series can be read as a standalone and are not interconnected, despite having a few easter eggs.
