... Maisie Lucumi has lived her nineteen years quietly. Her world has always been composed of routine, polite smiles, and carefully monitored expectations. She never longed for more - never dared to - until the day her future was arranged without her consent. Soren Santil's life has always belonged to everyone else. As the only son in a house full of sisters, the golden boy of English football, and the pride of his family, responsibility has followed him everywhere. So when Italy calls, he answers - unaware that his transfer comes with far more than a contract. Despite being strangers bound by an agreement neither fully understands, Soren and Maisie find themselves orbiting each other in a house filled with tension and silence. But it doesn't take long to realize that some arrangements aren't built for happiness. And sometimes, the quietest hearts carry the loudest storms.

He's evolved; he's cruel and bloodthirsty. They call him the new God of the City. But gods are just monsters with a crown. And Vince has become someone he thought he buried long ago. The demons stalk him, cling to him, whisper in his ears. They're loud. Unrelenting. They consume everything. Except when he sees her. Azra Kian Sorrentino. A mind carved from stone. A heart lit from fire. She was raised the hard way - but instead of breaking her, it built her. She is all compassion in a world that rewards cruelty. She is sacred. Untouched. His peace. She's made for sin --made for him. And she hasn't noticed him watching. For months. She sets his soul ablaze. He tempts her like winter chill sliding up a summer spine. He's patient...but not patient enough. He wants her because she's the only one who makes the voices go quiet. She makes the blood he's spilled insignificant. She's made the chaos still.

Avery's senior year is turned upside down when a kiss with her older brothers' best friend ignites a forbidden relationship tangled in danger, heartbreak, and family secrets that could destroy everything. *** "Aiden..." I shake my head, eyes fixed anywhere but the gorgeous man next to me. His hand grips my chin tightly, just enough to make me avert my eyes to his. "You know you want this as much as I fucking do. I want you to be mine. I want to be the one to hold you and kiss you the one you go to whenever you're happy or fucking sad. But let it be me, let me fucking show you that it should be me." He glares, jaw tensing. ...... ©hessaherophinelove

"𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐲." ~ Marriage was never for love-it was for legacy. A strategy. A performance. And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "OMYGOSH.
