"Keep fighting me, Principessa, and I will throw you over my shoulder and carry you out myself." Gianna Vitale thought the fall of her father meant freedom. She was wrong. Now living under the iron-fisted protection of her brother-in-law, Don Alessio Gravelli, she is the mafia's most protected-and isolated-princess. But the walls of the estate can't keep every monster out. When a brutal kidnapping attempt leaves her childhood bodyguard dead, Alessio assigns her a new shadow: Adriano Santano. He is thirty-one, built for war, and lethal in a way that terrifies her. To him, Gianna isn't a person; she's an assignment. A high-maintenance liability he has to watch 24/7. But Adriano isn't just a bodyguard. He is a man with a secret agenda, laser-focused on a goal that has nothing to do with saving her life. He is playing a dangerous game, and Gianna is the pawn he didn't expect to want. Every forced touch, every late night, every moment he stands between her and death blurs the line between his duty and his desire. He is the only thing standing between her and a bullet.

Trapped by circumstances and haunted by a past he didn't want to face, he told himself it was only a duty. But Noor-silent, simple Noor-was something he couldn't ignore. Her presence stirred something in him, her quietness louder than his own chaos. She never asked for anything, yet she made him face the parts of himself he wanted to forget. And as his walls started to fall, he hated that he wanted her-that he needed the warmth of someone he was never meant to have. As time went on, He began to behave in ways that were antithetical to his initial intentions. He found himself doing everything he had once vowed never to do with his wife. He became the very husband he had despised. He started to crave more, an insatiable desire that gnawed at his soul for her. And then nothing seems to satisfy his aching soul other than his arranged wife's one smile. ●An Indian arranged marriage romance. #Book-1 in #His bride series.

In 18th century Bishnupur, Princess Vasundhara Roy is meant to be the epitome of grace and restraint-but she hasn't counted on Kaushiki Das. Twenty, wild, and untamed, Kaushiki dances under the moonlight with bare chest and feral rituals that ignite something forbidden in the young princess. Drawn to her power, her confidence, and the chaos she brings, Vasundhara finds herself losing control-obsessed, captivated, and craving every touch, every glance. As palace walls try to contain them, their desire spills into secret nights, dangerous rituals, and stolen intimacy that no one can tame. Wild. Possessive. Ardhangini. ⚠️ Content Warning: Explicit sexual content, nudity, BDSM/power dynamics, obsessive/possessive behavior, tantric rituals, strong language, mature themes.

When photography student, Willow Kennedy, gets offered an internship with her college's renowned ice hockey team, The Michigan Wolverines, she anticipates three things: 1) Her twin brother being an unbearable and over-protective nightmare. 2) Her photographs not making any real impact whatsoever. 3) The team completely shutting out the curly-haired girl pointing a camera in their faces. What Willow didn't take into account, however, was the Wolverine's team captain. Rumoured NHL first draft pick, dreamboat and total game changer- Tate Wilder. With his infectious dimpled smile, sparkling green eyes and addictive personality, Tate quickly turns Willow's internship into a life-changing and eye-opening experience- one filled with love, friendship and opportunities. Willow didn't meet the Michigan Wolverines looking for love, and funnily enough neither did Tate, but love soon found them. ********* "Pretty please?" Her lip juts out in an irresistible pout and you'd almost think she was a sweet innocent flower judging by the puppy dog eyes she's flashing me. But that image is little tarnished by the hand she has dipped into my boxers. I can feel my Adams apple bob as I reply. "O-okay. Fine, you win this time." The smile I get in response is absolutely blinding. A full, mega-watt grin with teeth, crinkled eyes and blush on the apples of her cheek. I'll let her win everything if I get that fucking smile in return.

𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐄 is pretty sure her new neighbor is a serial killer. What else could explain his antisocial behavior, creepily minimalistic apartment, and that inhumanly emotionless demeanor? Not to mention the bloody body parts that have started showing up. It's too bad she's not scared of him. Or his unveiled threats on her life. But an emotionally scarred gangster on the run -- riding the brink of insanity and followed by a host of trouble -- is a lot more than she could've bargained for. 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐎 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐎 is beyond redemption. Capo of the Romano crime family, the sociopathic Prince of Chicago, hell wrapped in a designer suit. He exemplifies cold precision and perfect control. His job has always come easily to him for the very same reason that his name is feared widely: he's incapable of emotion. But something horrifying and sinister is beginning to happen to him. And it turns out that pesky slipping sanity is the least of his concerns. Because his new neighbor is a ray-of-sunshine wildcard dipped in beauty like he's never seen, and she won't leave him alone. Worse, he can't decide if he should kill or protect her. Massimo doesn't count on Vivienne being the first person to look at him like he's human. Or demons from his past coming back to haunt him. Much less a new threat looming on the horizon. Or love. Especially not that. ♛ Deviant Prince is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, dark mafia romance. WARNING: this story gets very dark. You must check the CW in the intro. [ Book 2 in the Romano Brotherhood Series | COMPLETED ✔ ]
