The words slip from my lips with sharp finality as I look him dead in the eyes. He pulled me into this chaotic, twisted world of his-I was better off alone before he ever came along. He doesn't even flinch. Instead, a smile tugs at the corner of his mouth. "And yet, here you are, amore mio. You won't leave. You're too tied to me. Too wrapped up in this to walk away. So don't waste your breath saying things that even you don't believe-it won't change a thing." His voice is calm, his eyes burning with something far stronger than defiance. I hate that he's right. I hate how much I feel for him, how deep this has sunk into my soul. "I hate you," I spit, my voice trembling, hoping-praying-for some reaction that shows I've managed to get under his skin. But his lips curve into a lazy smile, the kind that makes my chest ache. "I love you too, baby." Of course he says that. Of course. W A R N I N G S: -Mature scenes -Violence -Mild language

Luna Rossi, the fiery daughter of an Italian mafia don, has spent her life defying her father's every demand. But when he forces her into an arranged marriage with Maksim Chernov, the cold and ruthless Bratva boss, rebellion isn't an option-it's survival. Max sees their union as a business deal, a way to secure power and gain access to the Italian mafia's most valuable assets. Luna, however, is nothing like the obedient bride he expected. With her sharp tongue, rebellious spirit, and haunting beauty, she's a storm he can't control-and doesn't want to resist. As their worlds collide, desire ignites, and their passion burns hotter than their hatred. But in a world of blood and betrayal, can they learn to trust each other, or will their enemies tear them apart before they can find out? ~~ Please note that this story explores dark themes and a rocky dynamic between the characters that should not be romanticized or condoned in real life. ~~ All rights reserved.

Ada Louise Martin just wants to make it through her senior year of high school. But with the constant struggle of trying to deliver at the top of the class, her family that's maybe moving to the other side of the planet, and the fact that her oldest and strongest friendship is falling apart, it isn't the easiest task. And, as the cherry on top, is her life-long arch-rival Elliott really a bad person? Is there something more to it? The anthem of the overachiever: There's only one way to go from the top of a hill: down.

She was captivated. She was competitive. She was stubborn. She always got what she wanted. But laying her eyes on her best friend's brother was the biggest mistake. = = = Althea Vasilakis was an exceptionally smart student at New York University who had completed every subject with ease and earned several awards at the age of 19... but it seemed like even the most ingenious people can fall into the trap of their emotions. These emotions seemed to revolve around the handsome sports star Rafael dos Santos who was ultimately unfaithful... or at least, that's what Althea thought. Popular, extroverted, and perfect-looking, he carried all the qualities that masked the crimes no one would ever suspect. She was ready to make his life a living hell, whether by obliterating his team in their college volleyball rivalry, exposing his shady businesses, exploring a side of him no one could've ever imagined the popular sport star had, or even calling him stupid pet names. She sought only one thing: revenge. = = = Warnings! - Sexual content - R-rated language - Drug use - Brief mentions of: kidnapping, illegal trafficking and murder.
