A sunshine girl. A serious man. Multiple chanced meetings that changed everything. Aurora Blaire wasn't looking for anything serious-especially not while on a girls' holiday.

What started as chance run-ins turned into something they couldn't ignore. But how does a man built on control survive the kind of girl who blooms in chaos? ------------------------------------------------------------------ ""Her tipsy boldness kicked in hard, and walked for the armrest near him-planning to sit there casually. But the world tilted, and instead of gracefully settling next to him, she ended up tumbling right onto his lap. His hand shot to her waist, steadying her with surprising gentleness. "Careful, princess." he said, his voice low and smooth, just enough to make her blush harder. "Oops," she giggled, cheeks flaming. "I cant believe it's you Mr. Serious." "Still drunk, I see." And with that, Aurora's mind took off in full chatter mode."" ------------------------------------------------------------------ #1 TEENFICTION #1 SWEET #1 GRUMPY #1 CUTE #1 FUNNY #1 GRUMPYXSUNSHINE #1 RICHGUY

Hazem Renzo Salvatore was born to rule - not to love. And definitely not to marry a woman forced into his life by blood debts and power games he never chose. Serene Elin Moreau was born for normalcy - not for guns, ghosts, and the man who shattered her world and dragged her into his. Now they're bound by contracts instead of vows. Control instead of choice. Resentment instead of desire. She hates him for stealing her future. He hates her for becoming his. But hatred gets complicated when proximity turns into tension, silence turns into longing, and enemies start memorizing each other's breathing. In a world ruled by violence, loyalty, and bloodlines, love isn't weakness - it's betrayal. And when crimson loyalties collide, hearts don't break. They bleed. 🩸🔥

Francesca never thought she'd be forced into a marriage with one of the most dangerous families in Italy. Luca Giovani was everything she hated - smug, overly confident, possessive, and annoyingly hot. The eldest son of the rival family, and now, her future husband after her grandfather gambled away her name. They were never supposed to fall in love, but through changed feelings and sudden intimate encounters, they knew it was impossible to ignore. #3 enemies #6 Italy

It starts with a contract, not a love story. After a mission in Spain goes wrong, Aleksandra Mikhailovna Dragunova, Moscow's Bratva princess, is ordered to marry the lion of Sicily to stop a war. One wrong deal. One betrayal. One forced marriage between two empires that should never mix... and a slow-burn obsession that could burn them all. Hunted by her own world and driven out of every safe house and city, Aleksandra has one way left to survive: align with the Spadaro family. A ring she never wanted becomes her only shield. Domiziano Massimo Spadaro, Underboss and the heir to the Black Lion's crown, was raised on blood oaths and loyalty. His loyalty is the kind that makes men fear his name more than the law. When the contract lands on his desk, he doesn't see a bride; he sees a liability wrapped in strategy. A Dragunov. A woman he is ordered to claim, never trust. Aleksandra led men who killed at her word and bled at her feet. Her rules were simple: freedom over fairy tales. Power over promises. Control over love. They walk into the marriage as enemies, bound by ink, not choice. They promise themselves one thing: do not fall. ~~~ "He was supposed to be my protection. Not my addiction." ~ Aleksandra Dragunova

"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

"You're going to pay for that." I whispered to her, making sure to graze my mouth across the spot that makes her breath hitch. When I saw her remain unfazed, I leant behind her and switched on the shower... causing a small gasp from her beneath the chilling water. Placing both hands either side of her head, I leant into her and hovered my lips above hers. Neither of us moved until she finally breathed the words that made my knees weak. "Oh, just fuck me already." ~~~ A plane journey was all that stood between Rebecca Brooke and Ashton Miles. One hour and 20 minutes in the sky was all that it took for her to arrive at her perfectly planned summer in France. However, falling for her 'Bestfriend's Brother' and 'Brother's Best Friend' certainly wasn't on that plan. Suddenly her whole month away, that she spent caught up in steamy romances with Ashton, began to feel so right.

I didn't exactly choose to be stolen at four years old. But the French underworld isn't big on consent. One minute I was Donatella Acardi, Mafia royalty. The next? Just another stolen kid bleeding in someone else's basement. That's where I met Amir. We bonded over near-death experiences and shared trauma. Real cute stuff. Then Demetri found us-trained us, broke us, built us back. We became something the underworld whispered about when they thought no one was listening. Angela Della Morte. Morte Nera. The Angel of Death and the Black Death. It has a ring to it, doesn't it? We're not kids anymore. We're not victims either. And we have one job: burn the French Mafia to the ground. Starting with the Don who ruined everything. But revenge doesn't follow a clean checklist. Especially not when I'm suddenly face-to-face with the family I swore I'd never see again... Yay. Now I'm stuck balancing the ghost of who I was with the assassin I've become... while navigating a castle full of lies, power plays, surveillance systems, olive oil, and one very inconvenient slow-burn romance. The mission? Still on. But if I'm not careful, I might survive the job and still lose what's left of me. And let's be honest-I worked way too hard to become this unkillable. ⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ ~Thank you so much for even taking a glance at this book.
