Forced into a marriage neither of them wanted, a fierce Greek mafia princess and a ruthless Sicilian underboss must navigate a storm of power, passion, and betrayal-only to discover that their greatest battle might be against their own hearts. *** They hated each other from the moment they met, but little did they know, they were destined to be together. Millicent Rhea Darmos: Princess of the Greek Mafia. At 25 years old, she's established herself as a self proclaimed boss bitch, running her own publishing company. But now it's time she fulfils her duty to her family's organisation. It's time she gets married. Costantino Salvatore Accardi: Underboss and Heir to the Sicilian Mafia. At 28 years old, he has no interest in settling down-he already has it all. He believes in family above all, so why bring in an outsider? Yet, after a strange string of events, the two of them find themselves thrust into married life. It's full of chaos, drama and all kinds of tension. The question is, how do they survive their marriage and the storm that follows? *** "I've never kissed anyone." My voice trembled with a tinge of vulnerability - something I hated. But Costa didn't seem to mind that I was nervous or anxious. "Good. You're mine." He spoke so seriously, without a flicker of doubt as he took my hand in his. "So you want it be special, principessa?" "Every girl's first kiss is special." I whispered, watching as he brought my hand up to his lips. "I only care about yours."

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single woman in possession of her own business and independence, must be in want of a man who wants more than a damn one-night-stand. Right?! Annie La Fontaine is fed up with modern dating. Too many non-committal guys, too many disappointments, and definitely not enough romantic yearning. So when she decides to create a monthly Regency-style ball in her small Australian town, she is unprepared for both its success AND for one very specific suitor who arrives unannounced (how rude!): Blake Byrne, her first love and the man who broke her heart years ago. Blake knows better than to try again with Annie - romancing his sister's best friend all those years before had been a mistake, and he is still putting the broken pieces of his life back together after a terrible accident. But in love, the heart wants what it wants, and as Annie and Blake find themselves unable to stop the gravitational pull back towards each other, will they be able to put their pasts behind them and their hearts back on the line? Or will the rules of a Regency romance be too challenging to overcome?

Sereniah pensó que estaba escapando de su pasado. En cambio, fue llevada a una isla que no aparece en ningún mapa... para casarse con un hombre al que nunca había visto. Lord Declan es apuesto, enigmático... y está atado a un destino que podría salvar a su pueblo moribundo o condenarlo para siempre. La isla le obedece; su belleza está teñida de sombras y sus secretos cortan más profundo que las mareas. Atraída por la calidez imposible de Declan, pero consciente del peligro que lo rodea, Sereniah queda atrapada en una red de linajes antiguos, verdades prohibidas y una conexión que ninguno de los dos puede resistir. Pero aquí, el amor tiene un precio... y en esta isla, nada -ni nadie- está realmente a salvo. Por un lado, un "sangriento" secreto podría unirlos para siempre. Por el otro, una traición podría destruir su mundo. Una isla que respira. Un hombre cuya sangre puede salvar a su gente. Y yo... la elección que podría destruirlos a ambos. (Eternal Elixir spanish version)

Sereniah thought she was escaping her past. Instead, she was delivered to an island that doesn't appear on any map... to marry a man she had never met. Lord Declan is handsome, enigmatic-and bound by a destiny that could either save his dying people or destroy them. The island answers to him, its beauty laced with shadows, and its secrets cut deeper than the tides. Drawn to Declan's impossible warmth yet wary of the danger that clings to him, Sereniah finds herself caught in a web of ancient bloodlines, forbidden truths, and a connection neither of them can resist. But love here has a cost... and on this island, nothing-nor anyone-is truly safe. On one hand, a "Bloody" secret could bind them forever. On the other, a betrayal could tear their world apart. An island that breathes. A man whose blood can save his people. And me-the choice that could destroy them both.
