The night Aliana Fonseca's brother died, her family buried more than just a body. They buried the truth. At sixteen, she learned two things: 1.) NEVER question the narrative. 2.) NEVER let them see you break. Years later, she's done playing the obedient daughter. She wants in on the family business. She wants answers. And she'll get them, no matter the price. What she gets instead is Nyx Mercer. Dangerous. Precise. Untouchable. Controlled in a way that makes people nervous without knowing why. He doesn't threaten. He doesn't ask. He just takes. And he takes her without explanation. Keeps her without apology. And suddenly, Aliana finds herself trapped in a world where power is silence, violence is calculated and Nyx? Nyx is always watching. Waiting for her to slip, to push, to test him. Because she does. And every time she does, he reminds her exactly who she's dealing with. Because Nyx isn't just her captor. He's hiding something. Something that ties him to the one night she's never been able to forget. And the closer she gets to the truth...the harder it is to tell if she should be running from him. Or straight toward him. Because some answers don't come without consequences. And some people don't let others walk away once they know too much.

His Possession. Mafia Romance. Dark Romance. Enemies To Lovers. "Let me go!" I seethed through gritted teeth. I felt an uncontrollable amount of fear rake over my body. I soon began to shake. The fear that I just barely managed to suppress earlier is now clawing its way back up to the surface, rearing its ugly head once again, and hits ten times harder than before. The sensation is literally paralyzing. The feeling totally bypassing 'fight' or 'flee' and going straight to freeze. I feel like yacking up all that greasy food I had eaten during my shift at the diner. But I swallow the urge to do so and grit my teeth. Trust me, I wanted nothing more than to yack all over this pretentious douche. "Sorry kitten, not ever going to fucking happen." He said carelessly as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. His eyes were fixed on the dark road ahead of us, the road I surely didn't want to die on. Before I could even finish forming a coherent thought, the car swerved hard to the side of the road and comes to a sudden stop, sending me flying into the dash. My forehead collides with the smooth leather of the dashboard. I hear him rustling around, but can't see much due to the black spots in my vision. You know, from literally eating the dash. I hear the sound of something popping open and then liquid being poured. "Tell me kitten," I hear him say slyly. "Does this smell like chloroform?" He chuckles as he reaches across the console to press a rag to my face. Emily Watts, twenty years old and living alone in LA, due to her parents being drunken assholes. She had barely any money to her name, and worked at a small diner, trying to earn some money. Emily's life was in a constant loop, work and sleep. Until it was turned upside down when she meets the most powerful Mafia boss: Luca Adorno. NUMBER 1 IN #HOSTAGE - 08/02/20 NUMBER 1 IN #KIDNAP - 09/07/20 Completed in 2019. (IN NEED OF AN EDIT)

18+ ❝ I'm a man of great restraint but seeing you like this is pushing the boundaries of my self control, so bad that I might just pin you against this wall and fuck the life right out of you. ❞ ******* San Francisco royalty, Killian Fobster is an egotistical, manipulative asshole who will rather fuck an octopus on live television than get tied down to a woman. But when his one-night-stand from two months ago shows up in his office with not-so-pleasant news, he has to make certain decisions that may involve going against everything he stands for. With his vicious good looks, skirt-chasing habits, and cold demeanor, he is the last person a sweet girl like Hope Sterling should be involved with, but desperate times call for rather creative measures, and soon after she finds herself trapped in the sham of a fake union that threatens to blossom into something that may change her life forever.

Ever since she's been a child, Leila Rossetti's sole ambition has been to seize control of The Cosa Nostra and avenge the childhood she lost by the claws her father, The Don. When she inadvertently declares war on the Russians, who have long held a vice grip on the underground, her plans go right in the trash giving way to a far more dangerous threat. Yet the overconfidence of the Italian assassin is nothing more than a source of amusement to Nikolai Romanov, king of The Bratva. Known for his ruthlessness and absolute control over Russia, he views Leila's reckless move as merely an entertaining spectacle, like a predator who only toys with its prey before devouring it. So what happens when The Pakhan finally decides to strike his prey? ________________________ His thumb traced the sensitive skin of my wrist, a slow rhythm that felt like he was counting my heartbeats. Then he leaned in, his lips hovering near my ear, not touching, yet the heat was enough to sear. "You're so beautiful. Even when you lie to me." I rolled my eyes, tilting my head back against his shoulder just to show him I wasn't afraid of the proximity, even while my skin screamed at the contact. "And you're still an arrogant bastard who thinks he can keep a throne just by sitting on it." "I don't just sit on it, milaya. I bleed for it. And occasionally, I make sure others bleed a little more." The vibration of his throaty chuckle sent shivers down my spine. "Now, tell me another lie. I want to see if you can make your heart rate match your tongue."

She was the secret he married. The wife he ignored. The storm he couldn't contain. Eight years ago, Ophelia went from an orphaned London girl to the hidden bride of America's most powerful and untouchable billionaire, Regal Ariti. Forced into a marriage neither of them wanted, she was abandoned, silenced, and pushed into the shadows, until she clawed her way back into his life. Beautiful, sharp-tongued, and impossible to control, Ophelia makes a quiet storm out of the cold palace Regal built for himself. Now, she's no longer the quiet girl waiting in the background. What begins as cold, calculated tolerance turns into obsession. And what should have broken them-infidelity, secrets, betrayal only makes their bond dangerously unshakable. But Ophelia's not the only one with something to prove. His family wants her gone. Her lover wants her back. And Regal... wants her on her knees and by his side, forever.

Under Construction!!!! This is the FIRST book; CHAPTERS ARE CRINGE. Don't judge me, I wrote this years ago and I honestly don't even like this book. Just be warned there is no character development, even leading up to the following books. This is badly written and most likely won't be edited. JAXON KING hottest guy in school but has rumors about him being in a gang. Every girl wants his attention, though they dont know who he really is. He wants a girl who hates his guts..and he will do anything to get what he wants. JULIANA THORNE beautiful girl with the sweetest personality and all the boys want her...but too bad she is already claimed by the devil. CALEB KING a boy any girl would want in their life. He is caring, sweet, and cute. Except he is in love with his best friend..which happens to be Juliana Thorne. With a brother who will kill anyone who tries to take his girl away, does not give him any chance. Warning; This is a dark romance so disturbing scenes will be included in chapters. If you do not like dark romance, do Not read. All for one special girl.
