"You can hate me all you want," he growls against my neck, sucking just hard enough to make me moan. "But this pussy's still fucking dripping for me after all these years." I shake my head weakly, even as my hips rock back against his hand, fucking myself on his fingers like I'm starving for it. "I despise you," I whisper, but it comes out broken and needy. "Yeah?" He curls his fingers harder, making me cry out. "Then why are you soaking my hand like a desperate little slut?" --- They were each other's first love - secret, forbidden, and all-consuming. Until one lie tore them apart. Five years later, they collide again in the worst possible way. What begins as hatred and betrayal quickly spirals into something far more dangerous, where the past refuses to stay buried and the truth is deadlier than either of them imagined. Now they're running not just from the shadows of their history, but from a world that wants them both broken or dead. In a story of second chances, forbidden love, and survival, two broken souls must decide if love is enough to save them... or if some pasts are never meant to be forgiven.

In which she infiltrates a cartel to burn it down from the inside and save her sister, only to end up as the prisoner of probably the worst man she could've possibly gotten caught by. A man who has every reason to hate her and fully intends to make her pay for what she's done before eventually killing her. Except things don't exactly go according to plan, and when the cartel turns on both of them, they're forced to run together through the desert while being hunted by the same people they were once hunting/working for. So now they're stuck with each other, dehydrated, pissed off, barely surviving and probably one argument away from killing each other themselves. Basically enemies to lovers, cartel shit, forced proximity, running for their lives & two people who absolutely should NOT trust each other having no choice but to do exactly that. DEAD RUN Some devils you run from. Some devils... you run with.

Six years ago, Teodora stepped into the cockpit of a Spadaro jet and flew one of Sicily's most dangerous families home. Her Italian was flawless, her credentials immaculate and her purpose carefully hidden. The flight should have been the first and last time Sebastiano Spadaro, the family's silent underboss, saw her. It wasn't. When a crisis aboard a Spadaro aircraft draws Teodora back into the family's world, Sebastiano takes control of the investigation into who breached their aviation network. Teodora may be the reason his father survived, but she also knows far more about the aircraft and his family than any ordinary captain should. Sebastiano has never trusted easily. He notices the pauses in her answers, the life she refuses to discuss and the way she watches every exit before taking a seat. He should expose her. Instead, he keeps her close. Teodora came to Italy searching for the truth about the flight that destroyed her father. Every clue led her towards the Spadaros. Yet the deeper she enters their world, the less certain she becomes that they are the enemy. It also becomes harder to remember that Sebastiano was only ever meant to be part of her mission. He is falling for the woman she allows him to see. She is falling for the man she may have been sent to betray. When the past finally reaches Sicily, Sebastiano will learn that meeting Teodora was never an accident. And some lies are too intimate to forgive.

It starts with a contract, not a love story. After a mission in Spain goes wrong, Aleksandra Mikhailovna Dragunova, Moscow's Bratva princess, is ordered to marry the lion of Sicily to stop a war. One wrong deal. One betrayal. One forced marriage between two empires that should never mix... and a slow-burn obsession that could burn them all. Hunted by her own world and driven out of every safe house and city, Aleksandra has one way left to survive: align with the Spadaro family. A ring she never wanted becomes her only shield. Domiziano Massimo Spadaro, Underboss and the heir to the Black Lion's crown, was raised on blood oaths and loyalty. His loyalty is the kind that makes men fear his name more than the law. When the contract lands on his desk, he doesn't see a bride; he sees a liability wrapped in strategy. A Dragunov. A woman he is ordered to claim, never trust. Aleksandra led men who killed at her word and bled at her feet. Her rules were simple: freedom over fairy tales. Power over promises. Control over love. They walk into the marriage as enemies, bound by ink, not choice. They promise themselves one thing: do not fall. ~~~ "He was supposed to be my protection. Not my addiction." ~ Aleksandra Dragunova
