Bella Ross has always led a normal life, until three years ago the notes began. She knew he was there, hiding in the shadows but wouldn't show his face. She couldn't date or even talk to a man without his life being in danger and so she obeyed. She belonged to him. Her stalker. (Cover creds to @katrascal go check out their books!)

in the west end, 25-year-old hairstylist raya phillips is all hustle and no distractions-until kairo jenkins, a right hand man for a drug dealer, walks into her life and becomes obsessed. she's unimpressed by his money and power, and that only draws him in deeper. raya tries to resist, but his world is creeping into hers fast, their connection could either be real or destroy them both.

"D?" "Yes, baby." I lowered my gaze to the floor. "I... I'm turned on. I... I don't know if I'll be able to sleep like this." He hummed softly. "What would you want me to do?" I stared at him. I didn't know what to say. He took a step forward. "Amoya, tell me what you want." I gulped. He gripped my chin, forcing my eyes to his. He brushed his lips against mine, teasing me. "Umm, I-I," the words got stuck in my throat. He titled my head, and placed his lips to my ear. "Do you want me to make you come?" My movements stilled. Between my legs clenched. My mouth opened, but no words came out. He smirked, slow and deliberate. "I'll take that as a yes." ______________________________________ He was dangerous. Too dangerous for a girl like me. I grew up sheltered, protected by rules and curfews, watched by strict and dangerous parents who believed love was a distraction, boys were trouble and power and control was everything. And then he came - dark, sharp, and everything I was warned to stay away from. One look from him and every rule I'd ever known began to blur. Every warning turned to a whisper I no longer cared to hear. Because I'd already fallen for him. This man - in a cruel twist of fate - was my father's rival. And he was forbidden.

One night. One room. Everything changed.

Enzo, a powerful, charming, sexy and wealthy young man known for his player reputation, had never experienced a real connection with anyone. His family's occupation and his own, made him popular among women. He didn't think he was capable of ever falling in love until he met the sophisticated and independent psychiatrist, Louise. Louise was drawn to Enzo's charisma and wit, but she was wary of his reputation as a player and his families occupation. Not to mention, being a year older than him. Despite her initial reservations, she found herself falling for his undeniable charm and magnetic personality. Enzo was intrigued by Louise's intelligence and strength, and he was determined to win her over despite her attempts to push him away. Smut warning. Love. Family. Mafia. ~~~
