Five years after the fall of the Spanish Mafia, Carlos Morales has inherited his father's empire-but the sins of his past continue to haunt him. When he crosses paths with Alicia Lopez, a deadly assassin with a reputation for ruthlessness, he's captivated by her strength and mystery. But Alicia has a personal vendetta against the Morales family and sees Carlos as nothing more than the enemy. Her hatred runs deep, and she's determined to keep her distance from him at all costs. When a dark force from Alicia's past-the secretive Black Lotus-emerges, targeting both her and Carlos, the two must form an uneasy alliance. As they uncover dangerous secrets and face relentless threats, Alicia's hatred starts to blur with a growing attraction she can't ignore. But the truth about Carlos' connection to her family's destruction looms over them both, and as the walls come down, the revelation could either destroy everything or bring them closer together than they ever imagined.

(PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS MY SOFT BOY) Valentina Anastasia Adamovich is no ordinary woman. The daughter of a feared Russian mafia kingpin, she inherited a legacy soaked in blood. Now, as the first female to ever command an army of ruthless, unpredictable men and women, she is a force to be reckoned with. Trained from birth to be a killing machine, she has the blood of a thousand lives on her hands. But the question remains: Can she carry out her next mission-or will her deadly instincts fail her? Dante Azzaro, the indomitable leader of the Italian mafia, is a man whose name strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear it. Cold, calculating, and with one of the most powerful syndicates in the world at his disposal, Dante is a ruthless killer. When a striking woman-Valentina herself-suddenly crosses his path, even he is taken aback. But what happens when a deadly collision between them is inevitable? Not even he knows. When the Italian mafia finds itself compromised by a series of stolen shipments, Dante faces an impossible choice: ally with the Russians, or risk everything for revenge. Will he bend, or will he break? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ She aims her gun at me in an instant, and the men in the room draw their weapons, all pointing at her. She grabs the file, and turns her back on me, her heels clicking against the marble floor as she heads toward the door. I watch her walk away, her hips swaying like she's too damn comfortable in a place she shouldn't even be. I want to feel anger and irritation, but what I feel instead is something more dangerous something that I'm not ready to name. I've dealt with stubborn people before, but Valentina, she's a different breed. "Valentina," I call, keeping my voice controlled, like I'm not about to lose my mind over the mess I'm in. She doesn't stop. I didn't expect her to. She's too damn proud. MATURE CONTENT 18+

"Now I really want to see you on your knees," he murmured, his voice low, commanding. "You'd have to beg," she replied, her breath uneven, words trembling between defiance and temptation. Nicolò's smile deepened, but it wasn't amusement-it was the look of a man who enjoyed testing limits. "Please", he said quietly. ~~~~~ Aemilia was never meant to want anything. Not freedom. Not safety. And certainly not him. Bound by a fate she didn't choose, she is brought into a world ruled by silence, loyalty, and men who decide what survives. Nicolò DeLuca is one of them-disciplined, untouchable, and trained to believe desire is a weakness. What begins as obligation sharpens into something far more dangerous. Want becomes a language neither of them is fluent in. Control turns brittle. Lines blur where they were never meant to exist. Because in a world built on power, wanting is not soft. Want is violent.
