*** Short Version *** [ A Dark Obsession Romance ] A girl is born with a tiny figure, which starts to admire her the minute she's born, but what can it do when her soulmate keeps getting reborn?...

Some secrets protect you. Some get you hunted. What happens when they all come out into the open? Raphael Corcrel, heir to a business empire he wants no part of, is a demi-fae shapeshifter. In this modern world, the demi-fae are a rarity, with powers that set them apart from both humans and fae. Which often means they are hunted; as weapons, as oddities, as something that should be eradicated. As monsters, half-breeds. Ever since his father died when he was eleven, Raph has managed to keep his shapeshifting a secret, even from his uncle and mother, who assume he didn't inherit it. He never had anyone teach him to control it, and the last thing he wants is for Animal Control to lock him up or 'release' him into the wild. But when someone his friends know and care about is in danger, and he steps up to help, suddenly it becomes hard to hide many things about himself. And figures from his father's past start to take notice. Calliope Farrow is attending Sir Robertson University purely on a soccer scholarship. She wants to be a kinesiologist and help people recover from injuries that she herself had to deal with. Her ability to play and study is vital to keeping her scholarship - and essential in staying in her aunt's good graces. But when the headmaster's son himself takes a bad kind of interest in her, she is forced to confront the choices: running from the danger, fighting for her passion, or staying silent and obedient like she always has. And when the danger gets worse, revealing things about her that even she didn't know, her choices don't just concern her scholarship - they will impact her entire life and others around her. CAUTION: Contains violence, swearing, and mentions/depictions of assault. 15/16+ recommended AT LEAST. Some spice, but not explicit.

"Well, you didn't expect me to sleep on the floor, now did you?" she scoffed. His eyes darkened. Her throat went dry. .˳·˖✶𓆩𓁺𓆪✶˖·˳. Noticed by everyone. Trusted by no one. Loved by none. For Maria Carasso, being the first-born daughter of the ruthless Madre Beatrice is a deadly game of chess. In a high-society world where every smile hides a knife and loyalty is always borrowed, she is expected to either conquer or completely self-destruct. Then comes Marcello Salvatore. He is dangerous, magnetic, and deeply entwined with the American Mafia, a man whose silence is more threatening than most men's violence. What begins as a fragile, calculated alliance slowly spirals into a forbidden attraction Maria was never meant to feel. Then there's Matteo Salvatore. Where Marcello is winter, Matteo is wildfire. Charming, reckless, and impossible to ignore, he laughs too easily, says too much, and keeps appearing exactly when Maria needs someone in her corner. In a family where trust is a liability, he becomes the one person she never expected to lean on. But empires are not built on love. They're built on blood. When the first body drops, every finger points to Marcello. Worse yet, Maria knows exactly what he is capable of... and they could all be right. Now trapped between two Salvatore men, a mother who raised her to be a weapon, and a war that reaches far beyond New York, Maria must decide which is deadlier: betraying the family that owns her, or trusting the one that never will.

Vampires, The undead creatures that lurk in the night. They feed on the life essence of the living. Typically in the form of blood from other creatures. From the most notable vampire, Dracula, to the least favorite vampire, Edward Cullen. Over the years they've changed and adopted to meld with culture of modern society. I've read almost every vampire book, seen the movies and watched the television shows. They all have a similar underlying theme among all of them. Girl crosses path with hot vampire guy, the hot vampire guy is some eternal brooding guy and then they fall in love. Sometimes they have to face some epic fight or battle of sorts, but end the end it's a love story between human girl and vampire guy. I wish I could say my story started in 2016 when that fantasy world became a reality. A strange man came into a convenience store I worked at and my whole world instantly changed. I was thrown into a world of blood, politics and learned the hard way that vampires are NOTHING like what they are depicted as in works of fiction. But my story started a few years prior, in 2013 and I was blissfully ignorant of what took place around me. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the 2nd book in my vampire book series. The first book is "Unordinary Vampire Tale"
