Piper Walsh has always been the fixer. The one who keeps it together, no matter what life throws at her. So when an internship lands her in New York City for her final year at Columbia, she packs her bags and promises her brothers she'll be fine. Then her housing falls through-and she ends up living with five inked-up, too-hot-for-their-own-good bikers. They're reckless. Messy. Completely inappropriate. And somehow, the only people in the city who feel like home. Except for Greyson Lowell. He's the quiet one. The one who doesn't look at her. Doesn't talk to her. Definitely doesn't want her there. He keeps his distance like it's a full-time job-until he doesn't. Until one stolen moment changes everything. Piper knows heartbreak when she sees it. Greyson's drowning in it. And the closer she gets, the more he pushes her away. But Piper didn't come this far to let one broken boy scare her off. Even if he might be the one thing that could break her in return.

"𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐲." ~ Marriage was never for love-it was for legacy. A strategy. A performance. And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "OMYGOSH. This book was immaculate. I could NOT put it down at all. Every chapter was AMAZING, the writing is shakespears work and each chapter made me laugh, smile, cry so much and this whole thing was a rollercoaster of emotions." -@Sunfloweraate8

Ana thought her life was perfect-picture-perfect, the kind every girl secretly wished for. A loving family. A stable job. Peace... safety... freedom. But perfection has a habit of cracking-especially when a demon is waiting in the shadows. Watching. Wanting. Claiming. Waiting for the moment he could take back what he believed was his... what he never stopped wanting. "Did you really think you could disappear?" His voice slithers through the dark, hungry, familiar. "You vanished. But my obsession? It didn't die. It grew-deeper, darker, hungrier." ANA (heart racing, stepping back): "You're insane. This isn't love-this is possession!" He smiles. Slow. Cold. Certain. "Call it whatever makes you sleep at night. But your soul? It's been sewn to mine long before your first breath." And suddenly the past-buried, burned, forgotten-begins to claw its way out. The truth is cruel. Unforgiving. Inevitable. She was never free. Just... living on borrowed time. Now she has a choice- Run from him. Fight him. Or fall into the arms of the very monster she's been hiding from. Because once Ana uncovers the truth- the lies, the blood, the twisted bond that burn him. Or love him. Or destroy them both. ⚠️ Smut Alert 📢 This story drips with obsession, dark romance, explicit scenes, sinful tension, and themes suited only for mature (18+) readers. If that's not your vibe, feel free to skip. If it is... welcome to the wicked side. 🔥💋
