When Isadora, a personal trainer from a wealthy family, falls for Roman, the heir to a deadly cartel, their intense connection is shattered by secrets and betrayal. As danger closes in, they must confront their pasts, fight for survival, and decide if love can exist in a world built on lies and violence. *** Los Angeles, also known as The City of the Angels. It's a fitting name for Los Ángeles del Armagedón, a cartel based in LA that runs the entire continent of South America. They're notorious, ruthless, and absolutely elusive. Well, apart from 26 year old Roman Ernesto Alvarez. Recently released from a two year stint in prison, he returns to the free world as the adopted heir to the most powerful cartel in South America. He's struggling to be back on the outside... until he meets her. Isadora Visente. She's a 23 year old personal trainer struggling with her parents' pressure to settle down and marry. Unknowingly, their slow-building but intensifying connection becomes Roman's unexpected anchor after his release. Her life working as a trainer in her gym is pretty mundane and repetitive, until she meets Roman, of course. Then it all gets a lot more interesting. *** "You sneaky little shit." Roman's eyes snapped over to me, or more accurately, towards my legs. There I stood in the middle of his room glaring at him, and he sat there with his beautiful eyes roaming over my exposed legs. He eventually dragged his gaze towards my upper half, but only for a second before it was back on my legs. "Damn." His voice was low and husky and just...perfect. Even if I was mad at him I couldn't deny that fact. "My eyes are up here, Roman." "Yeah, but your legs are down there." *** Part of the Costantino Universe

Copyrighted 2014 #1 in Teens ~In the process of rewriting~ ~CHECK OUT THE REWRITE, its written far better~ Seriously the writing in this one is SO bad. "I will always protect you, Roza." Having a normal childhood was completely foreign to the two polar opposites Rosalyn Summers and Rex Turner. Both grew up with terrible pasts, both lived harsh lives, until now. Rosalyn was always the shy, quiet girl, always. Cliché in a sense, I know, but you can't necessarily blame her. Being forced from the only parent you ever knew as a child, only to end up in countless numbers of foster homes until you were twelve, would do that to anyone. Rose grew up believing that everything was her fault, that she was always the one that needed to say sorry. But not with Rex. Not with the boy she has had a crush on since before her family found her. The boy who swears to protect her at all costs. The boy she has fallen completely in love with. Rex's anger problems always got him into trouble, always. Until the little sweet-hearted Rosalyn Summers came bouncing into his life. He suddenly found himself doing anything he could to be with her, to talk to her, to protect her. It didn't take him long to realize that he had completely fallen head-over-heels for the clueless, adorable, defenseless girl. But with a few bad choices on his part, and the ever present fear of hers', will the people from his past threaten to take her away from him? Or will the people from hers' decide to do that instead? These two soon found out that they aren't as complete opposites as they thought. -Warning: This story has a few possessive, controlling men, sorry if you don't like that. ~follow the instagram page! @day_dream_1011 ~

BOOK #1 "What are you going to do? You can't kill me. I am the most skilled person in this mafia hands down. Hell.. I even beat you! 'The big, bad mafia Don'," I said putting my face infront of his to show that I'm not intimidated. He then looked at me as if I was his prey. I mean I know I'm hot, but I didn't think I was that hot. I brought his face closer to mine. I shivered as his lips very lightly grazed mine.

Seventeen-year-old Lily Grady expected her summer exile to Isla Nublar to be nothing more than boring maintenance work-a punishment for her rebellious streak back home. What she didn't expect was to stumble into the island's most dangerous paddock her first night. There, she discovers her uncle Owen's raptor pack aren't just intelligent predators-they can shift into human form. At the center of this secret is Blue, the pack's fierce beta whose piercing eyes and protective instincts seem locked on her. But falling for a raptor in human form is dangerous enough without corporate conspiracies, overprotective uncles, and the truth that some secrets are worth killing for. As Lily's bond with Blue deepens, she must decide how far she'll go to protect him-and whether love is worth risking everything. Some bonds transcend species. Some attractions are primal. And sometimes, the most dangerous thing on an island full of prehistoric predators is falling in love.

Zara Reyes is a prison therapist. Matteo De Rossi is a mafia heir with a body count. She's supposed to stay detached. He's not supposed to care. Neither of them follows the rules. When Zara is assigned to Halworth Correctional Facility, she expects the usual-cold stares, heavy files, and men too far gone to reach. She doesn't expect him. Matteo is the kind of man they warn you about: dangerous, intelligent, and still terrifyingly charming while cuffed to a table. But as sessions turn into something messier, darker, and more intimate than either of them intended, Zara finds herself pulled into a world of secrets, power plays, and bloodstained loyalty. He sees her. She can't look away. And in a place where even the walls have ears, falling for the devil might be the last mistake she ever makes. Perfect for fans of morally gray men, forbidden romance, and slow-burn tension that turns lethal.

"I chose you, and I'm never changing my mind, because your eyes... they hold everything my soul thirsts for. Every thing I want and need, is you, and you only." I whispered, placing my lips on hers for a kiss when she whimpered. "I adore you." * * * Heather Elias is like the girl next door. Sweet, but bad ass. Her second year in college is bound to stir up some drama, even when she vowed not to take any part in it. With the perfect best friend, an overprotective brother and a loving father, what more could she possibly need? But when she interrupts the famed Roman Angelo by laughing, she doesn't know how much she has him hooked at first sight. Roman Angelo, the Don of the Italian Mafia. He's known to be ruthless, cold, domineering and heartless. But when a certain girl with eyes like the ocean draws him in, will he be able to resist her and give in?

"Do you normally make-out with the people you're hired to kill? It doesn't strike me as very professional." "Put the gun down," Gabriel panted, not answering her. "Why on earth would I do that?" "Because you're not going to shoot me," Gabriel replied, noting that she still had the safety on. "I bet you've never shot anything in your life." She studied his gun with a smile. "Maybe you're right," she replied. Then she pointed the gun back at him, taking off the safety and cocking it. "Are you willing to bet your life on it?" she asked him coolly. *** He didn't know anything about her - her name, age, even what she looked like. He only knew it was his job to kill her. But when Gabriel comes face to face with his latest target, he finds himself completely mesmerized and can't pull the trigger. Left with few viable options, he decides to kidnap her. Unfortunately for him, she's not willing to come quietly. Instead, their encounter sets off an intense game of cat and mouse, unraveling Gabriel's entire world in the process.
