"Let me make something clear-being the center of my attention is not a safe place to be." For a moment, the words hung like a blade between them. Rose only tilted her chin, her lips curving with dangerous playfulness. She lifted her head just enough to steal a kiss, soft and fleeting, before his glare could stop her. When she pulled back, her smile deepened, eyes glittering with defiance. "I love being the center of your attention." Rose DiMaggio should not be drawn to a man like Saint. He's a silent, dangerous prisoner in a psychiatric ward-watchful, controlled, and utterly uninterested in reassuring anyone. Rose is sharp enough to know better and reckless enough not to care. His silence irritates her. His attention hooks her. The spark between them is immediate and unmistakably wrong. When they discover they belong to rival mafia families, staying away becomes a matter of survival. They are not safe together. They are not meant to work. And yet, they choose each other-again and again-knowing the cost. Because some souls aren't redemptive. They're destructive. And neither of them wants saving.

VEER SINGH AGNIHOTRI Cold. Controlled. Cursed. Once a boy who believed in love. Now a man carved from loss. He returned to the world he swore he'd burn- his father's blood-soaked empire, the mafia throne he never wanted. Meera Shah's death buried his heart. And now, all that remains is a storm that doesn't feel... Until her. --- KAVYA RATHORE Muted in voice. Screaming in soul. She laughs like she doesn't know pain-and lives like she's made of it. Graceful in her silks, sharp behind her silence. Everyone thinks she's quiet. No one knows she's pretending. --- He's never heard her voice. She's never shown her truth. In a world of guns, grief, and ghosts, can unspoken love still echo loud?

To the world he was a beast but for her he would do anything. He could have the world but all he wanted was her. They say the things we want most are the things we can't have. For she was so afraid of him that even the thought of him could have her running for the hills. Little did she know that she was the only one who didn't have to be afraid of him.

[A WATTPAD FEATURED STORY AND ON THE WATTY'S 2018 LONGLIST] "As if I'm dreaming, his lips touch mine. It's awkward, with my head turned to the side and his beside mine, but when his hand comes up to hold my jaw, it becomes all too easy to kiss him back." Cover: @MuriLexa Copyright © 2019 by Sooaura

He looked into her eyes, a storm of emotion swirling behind his steady gaze. "You don't even know who I actually am," he said, his voice low, trembling just slightly. The fear was real-raw. The thought of her discovering the truth, of walking away once she knew... it haunted him. After so much struggle finally they are together. now..he couldn't afford to lose her. Not when she meant everything. But then, without flinching, she met his eyes and answered with a calm that carried weight. "And you don't know who I am... or what I did to you." There was fire in her voice, but also something darker something buried. He didn't understand. Still, she seemed so composed, like it didn't shake her. But it shook him. Because if his secret ever came to light, he was certain it would destroy everything between them. Their bond, their love gone in an instant. She stepped back slightly, her voice soft now. Almost too soft. "I just know I love you. That's it." And with that, she turned and walked away, leaving him standing there. But the fear didn't leave her. It stayed-settled in his chest, growing heavier by the second. Then, his phone rang. He glanced at the screen. That number again. His stomach twisted. He hesitated before answering. The moment the call connected, a cold, artificial voice spilled into his ear. "Just ten days left... and I will steal her from you." The voice was mechanical, distant-but filled with menace. Then came the laughter. Sharp. Cruel. Inhuman. His hands clenched into fists. Jaw tightened. Teeth grinding. Who was this mysterious man? What that Mysterious man about to do? And worse... what did she is hiding from him and what his identity which maybe destroy their relationship? Because now, it was clear-Isha wasn't the only one being kept in the dark. Both of them were hiding something. ⠀⠀✮ ⋆ ˚｡𖦹 ⋆｡°✩ Anirudha x isha Anisha

He took a step closer, lowering his voice just enough for her to hear. "Then name your price, Miss Rawal." The air between them turned razor-sharp. Everyone waited stunned, for Arisha's reply.

(Book #1 of Sinners of the Dark) He had a habit of dragging darkness just about everywhere he went. Darkness wrapped in Armani. His personality colder than a block of ice. She was loud, carefree and tainted around the edges. I played by the rules. I did what was asked of me. Until I met the one person that could destroy everything I had worked for. I hated him since our first encounter, and now I was forced to tolerate him. He was called gadyuka in Russia, but he was known as the Sin in the deep underground of New York. Handsome face filled with violence, commanding, gorgeous and deadly. A killer, a thief, a sociopath, and feared by all. A made man. He came dressed in all black. Gold cuff links. Tattoos burned into his skin. He had the ability to pin me to the ground with a single glare and made me feel things I didn't want to. He was absolutely unhinged. Frightening. Everything wrong and everything right. And he held the key to my cage in his palm. And before he crushed the key; I was going to fuck with the serpent, and then I was going to hunt him. He just didn't know it yet. - preview - "I'll fucking ruin your life, Elena. Corrupt every goddamn part of your body, and soul. And when I'm done with you, you'll get on your knees and thank me." His low voice snarled. Desperate. He backed me into a wall. He grabbed me by the throat, but didn't choke me. Just kissed me so deep I forgot whose air I was breathing. "I'm not fucking done with you, Elena. And if it is up to me, I'm not done fucking you either."
