Forced into a marriage neither of them wanted, a fierce Greek mafia princess and a ruthless Sicilian underboss must navigate a storm of power, passion, and betrayal-only to discover that their greatest battle might be against their own hearts. *** They hated each other from the moment they met, but little did they know, they were destined to be together. Millicent Rhea Darmos: Princess of the Greek Mafia. At 25 years old, she's established herself as a self proclaimed boss bitch, running her own publishing company. But now it's time she fulfils her duty to her family's organisation. It's time she gets married. Costantino Salvatore Accardi: Underboss and Heir to the Sicilian Mafia. At 28 years old, he has no interest in settling down-he already has it all. He believes in family above all, so why bring in an outsider? Yet, after a strange string of events, the two of them find themselves thrust into married life. It's full of chaos, drama and all kinds of tension. The question is, how do they survive their marriage and the storm that follows? *** "I've never kissed anyone." My voice trembled with a tinge of vulnerability - something I hated. But Costa didn't seem to mind that I was nervous or anxious. "Good. You're mine." He spoke so seriously, without a flicker of doubt as he took my hand in his. "So you want it be special, principessa?" "Every girl's first kiss is special." I whispered, watching as he brought my hand up to his lips. "I only care about yours."

Being an Ottoman sultana gave you a lot of power, but being born as an Ottoman sultana gave you even more power than anyone could imagine. Elmas sultan was born as a sultana, her father was Sultan Selim Khan I and her mother was Valide Ayşe Hafsa Sultan and her brother was Sultan Suleiman I. Elmas was one of her father's favorite daughters and her brother's favorite sister which also meant she gets what she wants all the time. But life hasn't always been good to her. ⚠️WARNING! THIS BOOK CONTAINS DARK THEMES SUCH AS ABUSE, RAPE AND STRONG LANGUAGE. DO NOT READ IF IT TRIGGERS YOU!! YOU HAVE BEEN WANRNED!!⚠️ This idea came to me after watching the famous show "Magnificent Century". The characters don't belong to me excluding Elmas and her children who I made up. The plotline will be changed in the future so Elmas will get the ending I want her to.

In the waning light of the 13th-century Ottoman court, four siblings stand at the edge of legacy and rebellion. Osman Bey, the heir, carries the weight of a future he never asked for, drawn to Malhun Hatun-a tribal daughter whose love could reshape the empire. Orhan Bey, fierce and loyal, risks everything for Holofira, a Byzantine woman whose name alone could unravel the court's fragile peace. Fatma Hatun, the quiet diplomat, hides her heart in letters to Yusuf Bey, a man from a rival tribe whose ideals mirror her own. Gonca Hatun, brilliant and cold, guards her love for Alaeddin, a Mongol noble whose presence threatens everything her father built. Their father, Sultan Mehmed, rules with silence. His wife, Gulsah Hatun, protects with grace. And Cicek Hatun, childless and cruel, schemes from the shadows. As alliances fracture and love defies borders, the children of Mehmed must choose: uphold the empire's legacy-or forge one of their own.

Halime Hatun is fire where tradition demands silence-rebellious, sharp-tongued, and fiercely loyal to her tribe and her brother, Orhan Bey. She does not trust easily, and she certainly does not tolerate strangers who watch more than they speak. Dursun arrives as one such stranger-a shepherd by name, a soldier by skill, and a spy by necessity. The son of Karasi Bey, sworn enemy turned reluctant ally, he hides beneath borrowed loyalty while gathering truths that could decide the fate of states. Falling in love was never part of his mission. But Halime was never meant to be easy. What begins as suspicion turns into reluctant respect. Respect sharpens into something dangerous-glances held too long, words weighted with meaning, restraint stretched thin by unspoken desire. Dursun knows loving her is treason in more ways than one. Halime knows trusting him could cost her everything. And yet. Between whispered confessions and political storms, between duty and longing, they find themselves standing on opposite sides of a truth neither can escape: Some wars are not fought with swords. Some betrayals are acts of love. And some hearts belong where they have no right to remain.

"How dare you!!!" She screamed. And... Slapped him hard across his face. But she had no clue who she was messing, because the next moment, he hissed, "Congratulations. That slap is just going to make you my wife." 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝟏𝟖+ | Romantic-Thriller
