She nodded solemnly. "With my girl charm and my pretty dress. But now I just feel like a hot pile of creamed corn." I dragged a hand over my face. "You need water. And sleep." "I need closure." "Sunshine..." "No," she said, standing straighter and stabbing a finger into my chest. "You don't get to look like that and make me feel feelings and then just go all mysterious and noble and disappear like a sexy hitman Batman." "Sexy hitman Batman?" "I had a lot of wine." "I noticed." ●・○・●・○・● She bakes cookies. He breaks bones. Everyone in the city fears mafia boss Dominic Moretti-everyone except Tessa Bloom, the relentlessly cheerful café owner next door to his front business. She calls him "Mr. Broody," brings him muffins he never asks for, and walks into his office like it's not occupied by a man who could have someone disappeared with a phone call. Dominic doesn't have time for distractions-especially not sweet, sunshine-eyed distractions with flour on their noses.

And suddenly, the most dangerous man in the city starts falling for the only woman who isn't afraid of him. ●・○・●・○・● Word count: 23,178 Top Rankings: 10.14.25 - #6 in Mafia

INSPIRED BY REAL LIFE EVENTS DRAMATIZED by the author. ⚠️ Content Warning: This book contains scenes of physical and emotional abuse. Reader discretion is advised. Hailee had it all - a charming husband, a picturesque marriage, and a life most would envy. But behind the curated perfection was a woman silently drowning. Years of emotional neglect, controlling compromises, and one devastating proposition shattered her trust: an open marriage, his idea, never hers. Then came Stiles - magnetic, powerful, and everything Sam wasn't. What began as a reckless escape ignites into an all-consuming affair, one that blurs the lines between love, lust, and liberation. With Stiles, Hailee finds herself seen, touched, and wanted in ways that feel dangerously real. But the truth doesn't stay hidden for long. And as her two worlds collide, Hailee must confront the wreckage of her choices, the ghosts of her loyalty, and the terrifying freedom of finally choosing herself. Untamed Affair is a passionate, heart-wrenching tale of betrayal, desire, and rediscovery, it is a gripping exploration of what happens when a woman dares to choose herself. Raw, seductive, and emotionally riveting. This story is inspired by stories of many people I've met in my life. This is dramatized, so most of it is not real. STILES is loosely based on a man I interviewed who was in a similar predicament as the character. HAILEE is a collection of many different stories told to me by women and their experiences in marriage and relationships. SAM is another collection of many men with similar traits that women have shared with me.

"No-please-don't do this!" Seraphina sobbed, her voice cracking as she clung to her eldest brother's wrist. "I-I'll be good. I'll do whatever you say, just don't-" A sharp crack echoed through the room as his palm struck her cheek, sending her crashing to the marble floor. Pain exploded across her skin, but it was nothing compared to the terror clawing at her chest. From above, his voice was cold. Unmoved. "You will marry him." She shook her head wildly, crawling backward until her spine hit the wall. "He's a monster," she whispered, her breath shuddering. "He's not human. Please, don't make me do this. I'll die." Her second brother crouched in front of her, grabbing her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. His lips curled, eyes void of warmth. "Then die." Her breath hitched. "But you will die as his wife." The door behind them creaked open. Heavy footsteps. Her father stepped inside, his expression unreadable. "Lock her in this room," he ordered. "She will not step out until her wedding day." Sera thrashed as hands seized her, dragging her toward the massive iron doors. "No! Please-Father, please!" But he didn't even look at her. The last thing she saw before the door slammed shut was her brothers standing side by side, indifferent as she was thrown into a fate worse than death. Then darkness. And the only thing left was the suffocating truth. She was a sacrifice. A bride to the Sinister, a devil himself. #A STANDALONE BOOK
