There are many lines in this world we shouldn't cross: the line between right and wrong, the line between ethics and morals, the line between love and hate... There are many lines that are drawn out for a reason, but they're also drawn out thin, making it impossible to not slip to the other side at least once. ------------- Hannah Hale has never been one to cross the lines. She's never desired to. When her best friend Olivia forces her to sneak into a club one night, she's already crossed the line of right and wrong. Getting caught at the wrong place at just the right time throws Hannah into a whole new world that she never knew about. A world that causes her to cross every line possible. Ace Russo is the heir to the Sicilian Mafia. He's cold, evil, and ruthless. Most importantly, he has no problem crossing the lines. When a drug deal in America goes awry, he's forced to cross the line, and border, by kidnapping a witness and holding her hostage in Sicily. The question is, should lines ever be crossed?

She was born into a dynasty; he was born to rule the world's deadliest empire. Together, they burned everything down to rise from the ashes. Anastacia Dinara Romanov was criminal royalty, the only daughter of the infamous Russian Don. Raised behind palace gates and bulletproof glass, she was protected by four ruthless Romanov men, her father and three fiercely loyal brothers. Her life was shadowed by violence but wrapped in loyalty, and in that world, one boy always saw her, Leonardo Vincenzo, heir to the Italian Mafia throne, a silent protector whose love never needed words, but power is rarely enough to protect a girl from the man she chooses. Victor Armando, son of the Mexican cartel king who once kidnapped her mother and left her to die, entered Anastacia's life with a lie wrapped in love. Against her family's warnings, she married him for peace. Instead, she became his possession. What began as a treaty quickly turned into a gilded cage, a slow-burning war waged behind closed doors. Victor didn't need to break her with fists; he did it with silence, shame, manipulation, and betrayal. He shattered her spirit, destroyed her body image, and isolated her from everyone who ever loved her. His mistress, Lisa, taunted her, and he let it happen. That was until Anastacia overheard a plan that would end her family. It was the moment everything changed. In secret, she stole files, recordings, passwords, everything. She risked her life for evidence, and when the weight of it all became unbearable, she broke. Leonardo never stopped watching. The necklace he gave her, his final act of love, saved her life. He found her, saved her, and then together, they began her vengeance. Taken to Italy, hidden and healed under Leonardo's protection, Anastacia trained to become a force. In the arms of the world's most feared Don, she didn't just survive; she transformed. She's not the girl who fell for a lie. She's the storm coming to burn it all down.

She was a girl ensnared by secrets and scars. He was a boy forged from power and frost. When an enigma collides with an Elite, they must either heal or descend into their own hell to survive. --- Seventeen-year-old Elaine Winters has one goal: to endure the torment of her bullies and ignore the new student who seems utterly out of place in their small town and public school. Alexander White is a boy she needs to stay away from-stunningly handsome, immensely rich, and dangerously cold. He is privileged beyond any normal measure. Catching his attention was a chance mistake. His relentless pursuit of her friendship, an anomaly. And when it turns into something deeper, it becomes the ultimate disaster in the making. But when buried secrets emerge from their caskets, Winter finds herself pulled into his world of city lights, power, mind games, and the elite atmosphere of boarding school. Soon, everything she thought she knew about the boy from her town is turned upside down. He becomes everything her heart dreads-and a danger her mind warns her of.

"Stop fighting it so much Ari, I know you want me just as much as I want you." His lustful voice was like a whisper, his hot breath caressing my face as his dark blue eyes captured mine. Everything screamed at me to give into him, open my mouth and let him devour it hungrily, dig my hands into his hair and pull hard while his fingers ravage me. I declined, I knew better. I pushed him off. "Stop it, I am your bodyguard Stephano, not some whore you can use to satisfy your needs. I am here to guard you, not suck you, or fuck you!" I screamed into his handsome face walking out quickly before I loose it and kiss him hard. It's a war... Who will win? Warning: unedited, contains violence, mature language, a bit of cringe... just a tiny little bit of embarrassing scenarios and it's not cliche!
