Book two of the only series DARK ROMANCE Layla Verano is a soft soul in a world that has never been gentle. Soft smile. Bright hair. Brighter clothes. In a world held together by violence, blood, and power, Layla has somehow managed to hold on to the sweetness inside her. Something her father has tried to take from her more times than she can count. He's spent years trying to break her, but when that doesn't work, he decides to give her to someone else. A marriage to a man whose name is followed by whispers. A man feared throughout the Italian mob. A man Layla is certain will be the final thing to destroy her. Luca Romano is the underboss of the Italian mob, and he has no interest in playing husband. He's cold. Gruff. Unapproachable. Smiling isn't something he does, and neither is letting people get close enough to hurt him. So when Layla becomes his soon-to-be wife, Luca expects her to fear him. Instead, she smiles at him. She talks to him. She somehow finds her way past every wall he's spent years building. Her father thought handing Layla over in marriage would finally break her. He was wrong. Because Layla doesn't break. And somewhere along the way, she manages to find her way into Luca's cold heart-leaving the man everyone fears completely powerless against the one person he never saw coming. His sweet wife may just be the death of him.

"The things I did to stay sane without you" He groaned. I looked up as I felt the hotness on my face and the tingle in my body. I'd missed him a lot and I wasn't used to him anymore, so I was a bit shy. "Day and night I kissed your pics." he buried his face between my breasts, over my shirt and breathed in, his voice trembling and whiny, "Missed your sweet scent." He mumbled through the kisses. He pulled away and held my face with his palms. He touched his forehead to mine and closed his eyes. "Please. I beg of you. Please, wait for me. Don't forget me. Don't move on. I won't be able to handle it." He whispered, his voice cracking at the end as he stared at me with an agonizing look. MATURE AUDIENCE 18+ I AM STILL EDITING OLDER CHAPTERS.

"Please," I whisper, my voice trembling as tears prick the corners of my eyes. "Please don't hurt me." The words barely escape my throat, fragile and desperate. He studies me for a moment, tilting his head slightly, almost as if he's amused by my plea. Then he scoffs, the sound sharp and mocking. "Why would I want to do that?" he murmurs, his voice smooth but carrying a dark undertone that chills me. He takes a step forward, and instinctively, I step back. "I've just found you..." He pauses, his gaze dragging over my face like a predator sizing up its prey. "And now you're mine." Aurora Evans leads a life of simplicity. Eat, work, sleep-her unchanging regimen is her sanctuary, and she has no intention of altering it. But what unfolds when a shadowy figure, lurking beyond her windows, takes an insidious interest in her? One glance at her in a café ensnares him, rendering him captivated, his singular ambition becoming clear: to claim her as his own. Aurora's attempts to escape his shadowy games are futile, especially in the cloak of night when he emerges, weaving his spell under the cover of darkness. He teases, entices, and pushes her perilously close to her breaking point. Her resolve is to distance herself as much as possible. Yet, fate has a cruel sense of irony. When she is abruptly dismissed from her previous job, she unwittingly lands a position working for him-as his assistant-entangling her in a web she can no longer evade. *A STALKER ROMANCE* #1 in "assistant" 12/23/24 #1 in "criminal" 3/8/25
