"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.

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 SWEET #1 GRUMPY #1 CUTE #1 FUNNY #1 GRUMPYXSUNSHINE #1 RICHGUY #5 CEO

Veeranshu Mehra, a man who has never known love, comes into marriage with Tara, a woman caught in a web of family obligation and personal fear. Tara agrees to marry him, not out of love, but to honor her grandfather's wishes and escape the grasp of Sameer, a dangerous man who wants to marry her. As they navigate a marriage built on necessity, neither expects love to blossom between them. But through emotional struggles, trust-building, and unexpected moments of vulnerability, they begin to heal each other's past wounds. What starts as a marriage of convenience slowly transforms into something deeper, as they realize they need each other more than they ever anticipated.

Jaypratap's world had always been built on control. From the moment he had left behind the scars of his past, he had worked tirelessly to create a life where nothing could surprise him, where nothing could break him. His success, wealth, and authority were his shields, and for years, they kept him from the world, from his emotions, and most importantly, from letting anyone in. Then came Sanjh. She entered his life like a soft breeze, unassuming, gentle, yet capable of breaking through the toughest walls he had built around himself. Sanjh was everything he had never known he needed-her laughter, her caring nature, her ability to see through him without the need for words. She was a balm to his restless soul. As their relationship blossomed, he found himself torn between the desire to protect her and the undeniable pull towards her warmth. Sanjh was the first person who made him feel vulnerable in the best way possible. She didn't just see the man with the scars, the businessman, or the CEO-she saw him. The real him. In moments like these, when he found himself succumbing to her touch, her warmth, he realized just how deep his feelings for her had grown. And even though he couldn't quite say the words yet, he knew that she had become everything to him. She was the first person to show him what it meant to be cared for, to be loved without strings attached. For the first time, he was learning to let go-not just of his walls, but of the fears that kept him from truly loving and being loved in return. This was their story-a journey of vulnerability, healing, and love. And for Jaypratap, it was the first time in his life that he truly felt alive.
