TRIGGER WARNING THROUGHOUT THE BOOK: STRONG LANGUAGE, SEXUAL CONTENT, GRAPHIC VIOLENCE AND RAPE A Devil's Promise is a heart-pounding, emotionally charged tale of love, power, and survival. At twenty-two, Valentina's life is upended when she learns that her father is the leader of the Greek Mafia. In the blink of an eye, everything she once believed about her family and her world shatters. The life of innocence she once knew is replaced by a dangerous new reality, where loyalty is tested and survival comes at a high cost. To complicate matters further, Valentina is thrust into an arranged marriage with Luca, the powerful and ruthless leader of the Italian Mafia.

With danger lurking at every turn, and a promise made to a devil, Valentina faces a choice that will shape her future: survive at all costs or embrace the love she never expected in a world built on betrayal. In A Devil's Promise, nothing is as it seems, and trust is a dangerous game. Will Valentina's heart survive this dark world, or will the promise she's been forced to make break her spirit forever? Join her on a journey of love, betrayal, and discovering what it truly means to survive.

They hated her at first... but they had no idea who she really was. Serena Carter once had a family - loud, messy, beautifully imperfect. It wasn't always easy, but it was hers. Then one accident ripped it all away, leaving her alone and unwanted. Now she's sent to live with the Morettis: four brothers and a father who see her as nothing more than the living reminder of betrayal. The stain on their perfect legacy. Ten months. That's all she needs to survive until she turns eighteen and can walk away. But hate is a dangerous thing. It turns into obsession. Into protectiveness. Into something no one expected. Because Serena has secrets - ones even she doesn't fully understand. And in a world where power is everything, she's about to prove she belongs where everyone swore she didn't. She isn't looking for love. She's fighting for something stronger: a place to finally call home.

FIRST BOOK OF THE VELVET & VOWS SERIES ♟️❤️‍🔥! ------------------------ Isabella Romano left her parents with nothing but a dream. Years later, she is a famous fashion designer with her own luxury brand in New York. Power. Money. Success. She has it all. What she doesn't know... is that New York is owned by the mafia. And the man who controls it is Matteo Lorenzo Moretti. Their worlds should never collide. But when they do, there is no escape. Because Matteo never loses what belongs to him. And once he sets his eyes on Isabella... she becomes his obsession. ----------- "Dio, Isabella... guarda cosa fai a me." (God, Isabella... look what you're doing to me.) he murmured, my name falling from his lips like a warning and a confession at the same time. I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly too tight. He lifted his hand, slow enough that I could've stepped back. I didn't. His fingers brushed my waist. Just barely. A ghost of a touch. But it lit every nerve in my body on fire. I exhaled shakily, my voice barely a whisper. "Matteo..." His jaw flexed. His eyes dropped to my lips. Heat rippled through the space between us. And then - completely undone - he whispered, "Fuck it." Before I even realized he'd moved, his mouth crushed against mine. The kiss hit me like a shock - fierce, hungry, weeks of tension igniting in one impossible explosion. His hand slid behind my neck, pulling me into him as if he'd been holding back a storm and finally let it break loose. ------------ #1 gunfights - 01/22/2026 - 01/25/2026 #1 fashiondesigner 01/25/2026 #1 badboy 01/25/2025

Redress (n.) remedy or compensation for a wrong or grievance. In the heart of New York, where the underground world thrives in the shadows, Margaery Alvarez Morozov reigns the dark. "And if I burn, they burn with me." She's only twenty-four, but her mind is well beyond her years. She holds many titles. Head of the Annihilators. Assassin. Billionaire. CEO. She's the scandalous adopted daughter of Alexei, former Pakhan of the New York Bratva, and Alexandra, former head of the Annihilators. She rescues trafficking victims. Dismantles trafficking groups. And is syndicated to the Camaraderie-the brotherhood of the mafia. Her life was perfect, even with the jagged edges. She finally had a loving sister. Doting parents. And all the power she had ever yearned for. But, Margaery Alvarez Morozov is a liar. She's not who she claims to be. She's not even Margaery. She's Ariella Romano. "They scorched me, yet I soothed them with my ashes." Ariella, who was the hated daughter of her family. Despised by her father. Bullied or silenced by her four brothers. Ignored by her twin sister. All because her mother died giving birth to her. After years of neglect, she was abandoned in hell by those she called kin for pushing her twin down the stairs, a crime she never committed. Now, Margaery has built a life far away from the people who destroyed her, but what happens when a mistake by her soldiers leads her straight back to her family who are part of the Cosa Nostra? They're not sure if Margaery is Ariella. If they do discover the truth, they want her forgiveness. Margaery has plans, forgiveness isn't one of them. But with the resurfacing of someone from her wretched past and with her heart at stake, Margaery is forced to fight all over again. This time she isn't sure she'll leave unscathed.
