"Some ghosts don't haunt to scare you. They haunt to remind you what you lost." Thandi's innocence echoed in every memory she shared with her sister. She's accepted the truth - her sister is gone, and nothing can change that. But everything shatters the moment she sees her again. Alive. Smiling. Real. Now caught between the sister she loves and the man she's come to care for, Thandi must make an impossible choice - one that will teach her that even innocence comes with a price. In a world of power, secrets, and ruthless ambition, every choice has consequences. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and betrayal lurks in the most unexpected places. Survival is only the beginning; when nothing is as it seems, even the purest hearts cast the darkest shadows.

When broke ER nurse Evelyn Santos stumbles upon a brutal mafia murder in the alley behind her hospital, she thinks her life is over-until the killer spares her life on one condition: she becomes his personal medic. Now caught between her ailing daughter, her cold-hearted family, and a world of crime she never wanted to enter, Evelyn must learn to survive. But the more time she spends with cold, calculating mafia boss Nicolas Moretti, the more the lines blur between captive and protector... and the less she wants to leave. 🥇#Italian 10/22/25 🥉#bwwm 10/22/25 🥉#nurse 10/27/25 🥈#babymama 10/30/25 🥇#evelyn 11/6/25 🥇#nurse 11/15/25 🥇#singleparent 12/5/25

When the venerable Don of Casata Moretti-a man whose name carried weight in hushed corridors and across gilded boardrooms-uncovers the quiet treachery of the past, the very foundations of his empire tremble. The woman he once called his only love, a fleeting softness in a life carved from steel and silence, had vanished from his world with no explanation. Now, years later, he learns the truth: she bore him a son in secret-an heir not raised in the shadow of Moretti, but crowned at the helm of a rival syndicate. A new sovereign has risen in the underworld, one born of his blood, yet groomed beyond his reach. Betrayal, legacy, and blood now twist together in a silence far louder than war.

I froze. A man was slumped against the graffiti-covered brick wall, blood blooming across his side. His white shirt was soaked through, and there was a gun just inches from his open hand. My heart slammed against my ribs. Run, Skye. You should run. But I didn't. Instead, I dropped my bag and took a cautious step closer. His head lifted. Piercing, icy blue eyes met mine, sharp even through the haze of pain. His face was all sharp edges and shadowed scruff, blood trailing from the corner of his mouth. His accent was thick and rough, like broken glass. "Leave." I shook my head slowly. "You're bleeding. Bad." "Not your concern." His voice was lethal, but he flinched hard when he tried to move. "You're gonna die out here," I whispered, kneeling beside him. My hands trembled as I pressed a napkin from my apron against his side. "I'm studying to be a nurse. Let me help." He stared at me like I was something he couldn't comprehend. A stranger. A softness he didn't trust. Then his hand, heavy and warm, clamped around my wrist-not rough, but firm. "What's your name?" he rasped. "...Skye." A beat passed. Then another. "I am Mikhail." His eyes darkened. "And you shouldn't have found me."

After losing her parents at the age of twelve, Thandi spent years running-from orphan homes, street predators, and the crushing weight of poverty. Through it all, her big sister was her shield. Her hope. Her last thread of innocence in a world determined to strip it away. But when violence rips her sister from her life, Thandi's fragile world crumbles. Alone and helpless, she is sold into the hands of the De Luca family-the most feared mafia dynasty in the world. In the dark halls of power, cruelty, and desire, Thandi's stolen innocence echoes in every shadow. And survival may cost her the last pieces of the girl she used to be.

Calm down," It broke my heart to see my girls like this. "I-I-I don't want to leave," Lyric stated through her sobs. I looked at Jazlyn and saw that she was silently crying in the corner. I immediately brought her into my arms. "If you girls think I'm going to let that hoe take you from me without a fight, you're crazy. Everything is going to be okay," I reassured them and myself. I have to do all I can. I can't imagine my life without these girls.

"I said not now, so go sit your ass down and wait." he growled. I could tell he was trying to compose himself. I rolled my eyes and said, "You know what, go fuck yourself." As I was about to turn to walk away, a rough hand grabbed the back of my neck and turned me back around. I was now face to face with a visibly angry Ezra. He moved his mouth next to my ear and said, "Go wait in the fucking room." With that said, he let go of my nape and signaled for one of his men to guide me up to our hotel room. _________________________ teehee Best Rankings: #1 black woman- 4/14/21
