⚠️⚠️I apologize beforehand. This story is under subtle reconstruction, so please do not get confused if you see changes midway. It's still the most beautiful love story you'd read, so please give it a chance.⚠️⚠️ "What in the world, kid?" The roar erupted from the sleek Lamborghini as its owner, a man who could easily pass for a Greek deity, emerged from the luxurious vehicle. Scratch that, he practically embodied one. But wait, did he just refer to me as a 'kid'? For heaven's sake, I'm 23! "Are you out of your damn mind?" I snapped back to reality as his furious voice pierced through. Despite his mesmerizing Italian accent, my anger still simmered. How could he? After nearly running me over, he had the audacity to label me a child and throw in some profanity. In response, I resorted to the one skill I had mastered - I stuck my tongue out at him before sauntering away. What an insufferable jerk. ***** Allow me to introduce Ava Hilton, a seemingly ordinary 23-year-old who could easily be mistaken for a typical teenager any day, any time. A young woman from humble beginnings, leading an unassuming life. Now, meet Dreidan Vaughn, aged 30, the nation's wealthiest billionaire and the formidable head of the Italian Mafia. Feared and revered by all, he bore the moniker of the continent's ultimate enforcer. What unfolds when, in the midst of a frantic pursuit of a $20 million contract, he almost knocks down Ava, a woman he hastily judged as a child? Instead of receiving an anticipated apology, she cheekily stuck her tongue out at him and walked away. Oh he was going to make her pay one way or another! That moment marked the inception of a love story unlike any other. A COMPULSORY READ!... 19/11/19 ~ Ranked 24th in romance out of a staggering 1.52 MILLION books 💃 28/11/19 ~ Soared to 10th place in the mafia genre out of 34.5k books.

The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake

-COMPLETED- Audrey Allen had lived her entire life in the Dark Root pack, and every minute of it had been dreadful. Well, perhaps not every minute of her life, but every moment she had endured since her mother's death ten years ago had shaped her into the pathetic excuse for a woman that she was today. Or at least, that's how she viewed herself. A decade of neglect and abuse would do that to a girl. All Audrey believed she was good for was cooking and cleaning the pack house, and her father had her doubting even those abilities. Alpha Dean Whittaker had ruled as Alpha of Dark Root for eight years by himself. Although he secretly craved his mate, his Luna, to appear in his life and allow him to strengthen his pack even more, he knew his chances of ever finding her were slim. He was feared by both his own pack members and surrounding packs, so even if he ever did find his mate, he'd likely have to force her to stay. Not that that'd be a problem - Alpha Dean did as he pleased. When a chance encounter brings Audrey and Dean face-to-face, both of their lives are turned upside down. As they endure the new challenges life has presented them, they find that they possess the power to either build each other up, or tear each other apart. ______________________ #1 in Werewolf 4/12/2020 #1 in Love 4/16/2020 Cover by @victoriapinkglitter LUNAS SERIES ORDER: -Luna Hana -Luna Lena -Luna Audrey -Luna Zahra -Luna Skylar -Luna Brenna -Luna Melody **Luna Hana and Luna Lena are the first two books in the series.

*Warning: LABELLED MATURE. Due to sexual content and graphic language, this book is recommended for readers 17+ in age* *CANNOT be read without reading prior novels in series* Nate Hunter; aspiring boxer, brother to five younger sisters, and...stripper. Yeah, you read that right. After his twin sister went through an abusive relationship, Nate fought to restore her honour by starting a chain of nightclubs that hire and help victimized women get back on their feet. It didn't take long for the stripper industry to deem him a knight in shining armour that beckoned damsels in distress. The damsel in his life? A fierce yet gentle woman who doesn't want his help and is more warrior than damsel. She's determined to keep Nate at arms length and ignore the ridiculously hot chemistry that fizzles between them. Now it's up to Nate to convince the woman of his dreams that fairytales still exist and that he wants nothing more than to be her prince. After all, he knows a thing to or two about putting up a fight. Delilah Stevens; aspiring author, voluntary loner, and...pregnant. Yeah, you read that right. Life has been unstable for Delilah since her father walked out on her when she was six years old. It shouldn't be a surprise that the father of her unborn child walked out on her too. The already shy and reserved girl retreats further into her shell until she is convinced that the real world is nothing like the books she reads and writes. Or is it? Delilah is forced to rethink everything she's ever known about finding "the one" when she is suddenly face-to-face with a man straight out of a romance novel who wants her - bad - and resisting his kind eyes and killer grin is no walk in the park. The question of the hour is whether or not the determined boxer will be another villain in her story or the hero that finally gives her a happily ever after.
