They were her family. Her blood. Her protectors. Until the day they became her executioners. A powerful Italian mafia family which from insides were a definition of warmth but it was a force to reckoned with for the world. It still the same powerful family but something changed, something that made them more cruel and merciless..... Alisya Romano, Falsely accused of betraying the one person she loved most-her twin , Arianna Romano-she was cast out, abandoned by the very people who swore to stand by her. No trial. No mercy. Just exile. Alone and broken, she was thrown out like she was nothing to them. She was sent to a boarding school which is actually a hell hole, a place designed to strip away weakness and forge monsters. And they succeeded. The girl who once begged for her family's love died in that place. What emerged was something far colder, emotionless, deadlier. Years later, she was called back not becoz they wanted her but becoz of her father's funeral....but they don't know the girl who's returning is not the same. She's not the helpless child they discarded, but she is someone totally different, blank eyes, cold aura, a storm they never saw coming. The truth is a weapon, but redemption isn't given-it's taken. Now, they will face the sister they betrayed. And this time, she's not asking for their love. She's demanding their reckoning.

🖤 Dangerous lies. Violent devotion. Twisted romance that cuts as deep as a blade. This is not a love story. It's a war story in disguise. A dark mafia arranged marriage romance She was the bride they thought was harmless. They didn't know they married death in silk. ⸻ In the glittering underworld of French and Italian Mafia dynasties, Celeste Moreau is the crown jewel - a delicate, soft-spoken daughter of France's most powerful crime family. Or so they believe. Behind the doe eyes and designer dresses hides a whispered legend: La Dame Noire, the faceless assassin whose name makes grown men pray. She's one half of the infamous Reaper Twins, a myth born in blood and silence. But no one suspects her - not her new enemies, not her new family... and certainly not her husband. Alessandro De Luca, heir to Italy's most feared empire, agrees to a marriage of convenience to save his crumbling legacy. He expects a docile, ornamental wife. What he gets is a riddle he can't solve, a shadow he can't pin down, and a woman who might just be his undoing. As enemies close in, bodies begin to fall - and each death leaves behind a calling card, signed with a name that should not exist. When secrets unravel and masks crack, trust turns to obsession, and obsession turns to something far more dangerous. Because you can't love a ghost. And you can't own a reaper. Not unless she lets you. ⸻

He lives by rules. She breaks them just by existing. Atlas "Priest" Adams is the president of the Saints of Retribution MC-a brotherhood of former soldiers who hunt the worst monsters hiding in plain sight. He believes in control, silence, and distance. No titles. No promises. No babies. Attachments get people killed. Dr. Indigo "Blue" Thorne isn't looking for danger. After a brutal night in the ER, she finds solace in a bar-and in a man who promises nothing beyond one night. She agrees to his rules because she doesn't want forever. Neither of them is telling the truth. What starts as a no-strings arrangement turns into something deeper, even as Priest insists Blue is temporary. Then the past comes roaring back. When his brother's widow arrives at the clubhouse pregnant and desperate, Priest's silence and half-truths destroy everything Blue thought she understood. So she disappears. Months later, fate drags them back together in an ER bay-where Priest sees the woman he lost... and the child she's carrying. Now Priest must face the consequences of the rules he hid behind, the words he never said, and the woman he never claimed. As secrets unravel and danger closes in, he'll have to decide whether love is a weakness- -or the one thing worth bleeding for. PRIEST is a dark, emotional MC romance about control, miscommunication, and the cost of loving halfway-featuring a hardened hero, a strong heroine, betrayal, redemption, and a hard-won happily ever after.
