As war erupts between the Greek and Sicilian mafias, the powerful Accardi family must fight to protect their empire. Accardi Obsession unravels a dark, multi-POV mafia story charged with forbidden chemistry, explosive family tensions, and an arranged-marriage pact that turns sworn enemies into something far more dangerous. *** The Sicilians trusted them. The Greeks tried to take their empire. Now, the balance of power hangs by a thread. In the third season, the Accardi family faces their greatest war yet - one that will test loyalty, love, and blood itself. Costa and Millie are fighting to protect the family they built together, even as war threatens to tear them apart. Rocco and Alessia are learning what it means to be married in a world that can take everything from you in seconds. And when a new marriage alliance is proposed, one Accardi makes the ultimate sacrifice, and enemies become lovers... or whatever you call it when hate gets complicated. There's a war brewing, a wedding on the calendar, and at least four people pretending they're not in love. The Accardis are back. Pray for whoever stands in their way.

Revenge. I'm familiar with it. You have to be when you're the firstborn son of a notorious mafia leader. Death and vengeance have been the very foundations of my life. So who in their fucking mind would be stupid enough to cross me? My brother and I have been wrongfully convicted of a crime we didn't commit. We know who is behind this. We bid our time behind bars, planned and prepared for the day we got out. Now we're free and hungry for redemption. I know what must be done. I know whose blood will be spilled. But before I go after him, I'll go after his daughter. I never said I play fair. *Book one in the Marino Brothers Duet. Rated 18+ due to explicit language, sex, and violence.*

'Fuck you,' I breathed, pulling away from the kiss, searching his eyes. He was enjoying it. 'If you keep saying that, maybe you will someday,' he teased, his fingers going into the waistband. Feeling his smooth, long fingers on the skin of my pussy sent shockwaves through my body. He was staring at me, watching my every reaction, and I dared not to look away. I won't give him the satisfaction that I'm enjoying this. 'Feisty, huh?' he taunted, before his fingers slipped to my folds. I could feel my wetness coating his fingers, and I hated myself for getting so wet because of him. ──── ୨୧ ──── Four years ago, he shattered her dignity with a joke at a pool party Not just anyone - her brother's best friend.

WATTYS 2025 SHORTLIST || hey readers! don't forget to vote for my novel silver bound when the voting opens up! -- Milo's lips graze my neck, slow and unhurried, like he has all the time in the world. My breath catches, my fingers curling into his bare back, but I don't pull away. I should. Ryan would kill us both. Ryan, my brother. Ryan, his best friend. He presses closer and drags his tongue, his voice low and teasing against my skin. "Tell me to stop, Lil." I don't. copyright © 2025. all rights reserved.

First book 🏒. Starting college was supposed to be Violet Vale's escape plan. New country. New city. New campus. And then there's Ethan Maddox-tattoos inked like warnings, that infuriating smirk, and a six-foot-five presence that fills every room like he owns it. Her brother's best friend. Her worst enemy. And now? Her accidental shadow at Northbridge University. Violet's spent years trading insults and eye-rolls with Ethan, ever since he became an honorary part of her family. But there's nothing brotherly about the way he looks at her now-or the way her pulse reacts when he calls her Vi like it's some kind of challenge. He's cocky. Infuriating. One year older. And the only person on campus who makes her feel anything at all. They're not friends. Definitely not something more. But the line between hate and something far messier is starting to blur. And when hearts get tangled... Someone's going to fall. Warning: May contain profanity and sexual content.

She was supposed to be off-limits. Her brother's best friend made sure she knew it-every glare, every cruel word, every reminder that he couldn't want her. But obsession is stronger than hate. And when enemies give in to desire, love becomes inevitable... until a forced marriage threatens to tear them apart. Now they must decide: obey the rules that keep them apart, or fight for a forever that was never meant to be.

"Αλεξ... πρέπει να σταματήσεις να με κοιτάς έτσι κάθε φορά που γίνεται το ότι δηποτε, δεν το καταλαβαίνεις ;» «Δεν μπορώ να σε βλέπω να χαλιέσαι δίπλα του Κατερινακι. Δεν μπορώ.» Ξεφύσηξα δυνατά αλλά ήξερα ότι είχε δίκαιο. «Και τι θες να κάνω τώρα;» Είπα έντονα και ακούστηκε κάπως αδιάφορα «Χώρισε τον. Λες και σου έχει κάνει λίγα.» «Απλά ξέχνα το Αλεξ, ήταν ένα λάθος.» Είπα προσπαθώντας να κρύψω τον πόνο μου. Ούτε εγώ ξέρω γιατί σκατα το είπα αυτό. «Ένα λάθος;» Απάντησε έντονα. «Κατερινακι κοιτάμε! Τι σημαίνει αυτό;» Ήρθε πιο κοντά. Με κοίταξε περίεργα ώσπου με άρπαξε και με φίλησε. Εκείνη την στιγμή κατάλαβα ότι όσα χρόνια και αν ήθελα τον Χρήστο. Τελικά δεν ήμουν δική του, ένα κομμάτι της καρδιάς μου πάντα ανήκε στον Αλεξ... DO NOT COPY ⚠︎︎
