She was invisible by choice. He was power incarnate. Their collision was inevitable-and ruinous. Lenora Williams has spent her life living in the quiet margins. Soft-spoken and self-contained, she finds solace in solitude, her small apartment a sanctuary from a world that once betrayed her. Haunted by a past she never speaks of, Lenora clings to routine like a lifeline-until the day she's offered a coveted position at the city's most powerful and enigmatic corporation. Ruthless, brilliant, and dangerously magnetic-Luca Maroni is the CEO of a billion-dollar empire, Luca controls everything he touches. He doesn't believe in love. He believes in ownership. Discipline. Obedience. But from the moment he meets Lenora-his new, quiet secretary with downcast eyes and secrets in her soul-his iron-clad world begins to crack. She's everything he isn't. Everything he doesn't understand. And everything he suddenly must possess. To Luca, Lenora is more than temptation-she's purity in a world of corruption. An obsession he can't shake. And as desire twists into obsession, his need to protect her begins to blur with his need to own her. But Lenora has demons of her own. And some shadows refuse to stay buried. As passion ignites and boundaries shatter, Lenora and Luca find themselves entangled in a dangerous dance of power, secrets, and surrender.

Some flames burn quietly... until they don't. Aurora Bellini is the picture of innocence. Quiet. Kind. A law student with a soft heart and a tragic past. When a violent attack threatens her safety, she's placed under the protection of the Vitti family - Italy's most feared crime syndicate. More specifically, under the cold, watchful eye of their heir: Angelo Vitti. Angelo doesn't want her there. Too sweet. Too soft. Too breakable. But there's something about her that unsettles him. Her gentle smile, her quiet strength - it seeps past the walls he's spent years building. He tells himself she doesn't belong in his world. He tells himself to stay away. But he watches her anyway. Protects her anyway. And slowly, against his better judgment - he starts to burn for her. With war simmering between the Italian and Russian mafias, every secret is dangerous. Every glance, every touch, every whisper in the dark... it all matters. Because nothing is ever what it seems. And sometimes the softest things burn the most.

"Don't do this to me please, let me go, we'll pay your money back." I tried to beg him. "Shhh... No... Don't be doing that." He said holding my chin so I was looking into his eyes.

HANNAH I've spent my entire twenty-one years on this earth in the background. Walked over by friends. Family. Strangers. And I didn't see a problem with it; I'd rather nobody pay attention to me. It was safer that way. Easier. Until I got the wrong kind of attention. Lev Somov caught me running from an impromptu crime I was committing against my ex-boyfriend, and in that moment, he somehow decided I was worth giving his attention to. All the bad kinds of attention. Next thing I know, he's watching over me, hijacking my job and becoming my client. And then he takes things above a level I never thought possible. He is a monster, incapable of feeling any type of remorse or guilt for anyone and anything, including me. All I can hope for is that I make it out of this obsession alive. LEV This life wasn't meant for me, but now that he's gone, it's mine for the taking. And no one is going to stop me. I've shown my loyalty through blood, and I make no plans to change my future. Especially not for the little kukolka I found stumbling into the wrong alleyway. I'll take my time before I break her. And then, the Dynasty will be mine.

She hates the way he looks at her, like he already owns her. Sorin Stravelli spent her life avoiding her father's arranged deals, escaping each one by chance or chaos. But when she finally snaps and defies him publicly, her punishment comes in the form of Bruno. Dark. Quiet. Possessive. He's not what she expected. He's worse. And her body can't tell the difference between danger and desire. She swears she'll never submit. He knew she was his from the moment she walked in the room. ⸻ Bruno's POV: Sorin Stravelli came to me with fire in her eyes and hatred in her voice. She didn't want me. That's fine. I want her enough for the both of us. She can curse me, fight me, run from me-but her body tells me a different story. Because from the second she was offered to me, she was mine. And I don't let go of what's mine. TRIGGER WARNING: - Dark romance - Mafia control/possession - Physically abusive father - Violence and Guns - Murder - Sexual smutty content

"Everything is an act. My bright smile, my happy face, my friendly attitude. I acted like I was fine when I was in that hell, and I'm doing the same now - I pretend that what happened hasn't affected me. My happy smile is a mask concealing the darkness that has claimed my soul. I pretend I'm okay, but inside I'm dying. And then, all of a sudden, he appeared. For some reason, he started showing me the sweet affection I used to crave. Now... I no longer want nor need it. Emotions are a luxury I can't afford. He calls me an angel, not even realizing the irony of the name. I'm anything but pure. I have fallen and I can't rise."

I glared when his hand reached again to my neck. Our faces only an inch apart. His big hand was almost wrapping it whole. His thumb massaging my throat like a feather. "And when I thrust inside of you, I want to hear you scream my name. Every name of mine." "Dante. Adriano. Sol. Di. Angelo." His thumb stroking the center of my neck while uttering every name he owned. His eyes hooded in heat, lust clouding the windows of his soul. "And when you cum, it'll be Dante you moan." --- Hailynn Fleury is a talented painter.
