❝𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐚 & 𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐚 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐚❞ I should not feel anything for someone who is my enemy, someone who has caused me so much pain that the very thought of him should fill me with nothing but rage and bitterness. Yet, against all logic, I feel it-I feel the heat rising beneath my skin . The mere idea of his touch sends shivers down my spine, igniting sensations that I desperately want to ignore. This isn't right. I shouldn't crave the presence of someone I despise, but my body betrays me, responding to him in ways that my mind fiercely rejects. He stands so close that his breath fans across my face, warm and intimate, stirring emotions that I refuse to acknowledge. A slight movement is all it would take for our lips to meet, for this unbearable tension to shatter into something far more dangerous. His hands are braced on either side of my head, trapping me, yet he doesn't need to touch me to make me feel trapped. His body hovers just out of reach, yet I can sense him, every inch of him, as if the air itself is an extension of his presence. I shouldn't desire this man. I shouldn't want to close the gap, to feel the press of his body against mine. I should be repulsed, disgusted by how my thoughts betray my hatred. But my body doesn't listen to reason , it yearns for what it shouldn't, driven by instincts I can't control. I despise him-my enemy- My rival-but the line between hatred and desire is blurring, and I'm terrified of which side I might fall on. {𝖠 𝗌𝗍𝖺𝗇𝖽𝖺𝗅𝗈𝗇𝖾 } | | Mature content 18+| |

"Don't fight me, mi amor... surrendering will hurt much less," he murmured, his lips grazing her ear, sending a chill down her spine. "Good girl," he growled, his dark eyes locking onto hers as he hovered over her trembling frame, his dominance suffocating yet impossible to resist. A Deal Sealed in Betrayal Dario De Costa-the merciless and feared Don of the Italian mafia-is forced into an alliance with the American mafia through marriage. Known for his cold cruelty and unforgiving nature, Dario views this union as nothing more than a means to secure absolute power. But his meticulously laid plans collapse when the bride he was promised-Ashley Brown-disappears on the eve of the wedding, fleeing with her lover. In a desperate attempt to salvage the alliance, the family substitutes her younger sister, Olivia Brown, just 19-a quiet girl haunted by years of abuse from their father, Alexander Brown. The whispers are everywhere: "Dario De Costa-betrayed by a bride switch!" Now shackled to the Devil himself, Olivia must endure a marriage born of deception. Dario, enraged and humiliated, sees her as nothing but collateral damage-a pawn in his ruthless game to dominate the American mafia. But Olivia, fragile as she seems, hides a quiet strength. As Dario's icy façade begins to crack, an unexpected connection ignites between them, blurring the lines between vengeance and desire. Can Olivia survive the inferno of his wrath-or will she emerge as the one to tame the Devil? In a world of betrayal, power, and dark passion, only one thing is certain: Love and hate have never burned so dangerously close

I headed for the front door and before I could push it open I felt arms wrap around my waist "Stop" I kept thrashing in his arms "Come on stop, your gonna hurt yourself more" I didn't listen I just kept trying "Keep her arm as still as you can!" Someone yelled and I felt hands grab my right arm and then something prick my skin "Just stop!" Slowly I collapsed in their arms and my eyes shut. Not how this was meant to happen

Shattered, broken, and scarred by a past no one should ever endure, Serenity's life has been defined by trauma since childhood. Raised by a mother who saw her only as a commodity, Serenity was exploited and trafficked, trapped in a dark, silent world of abuse. The only love she knew came from her father-until his sudden death left her utterly alone, forced to survive a nightmare no child should ever face. At 22, Serenity finally finds the courage to flee, escaping to a new city where she builds a life as an assistant to a powerful CEO.

As his interest grows, he begins to uncover the scars, both physical and emotional, that mark her body and soul. Through tender care and unexpected adventures, he brings Serenity into a world of simple joys-the things she was denied as a child-and begins to chip away at the walls she's built to protect herself. But even as she blossoms under his affection, her past refuses to let go. Nightmares, panic attacks, and a chance encounter with one of her former tormentors trigger a breakdown, and Serenity finally reveals the horrors of her childhood. In his arms, she finds solace, but her journey toward healing is far from over. Beneath the brokenness, a love is born-but is it enough to heal her?

Here she is. I can see the slope of her spine through that thin shirt. She's made of angles I ache to smooth with a hand, but I'd use my lips if she asked. I brush her knuckles with mine. Her skin is cold, but she flips her palm for more contact. I lace our fingers. It's enough to make her look at me. As those kaleidoscopic eyes meet mine, I hold my breath. Then she sets her lips just under my jaw. It rips the air from my lungs. It's the softest thing I've ever felt. "What was that for," I breathe. She pulls back, lashes damp, and whispers, "You're the kind of person that should be kissed." 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 𝙝𝙪𝙧𝙩 𝙥𝙚𝙤𝙥𝙡𝙚 BOOK TWO C O N T A I N S : ❤︎ mature content ❤︎ romance & friendship ❤︎ yearning Copyright © 2021-present Laurel Montaze (immoralLaurel).
