{Re-written version} Jade isn't just a good assassin-she's the best. She's seen it all, done it all and doesn't get rattled easily Except when she's told she has to kill the most feared mob boss of the century- Silas Andreeva But what she doesn't know is that this is all a ploy for Silas to test Jade's capabilities. But it isn't just about a test, is it?-it's personal. Silas isn't just looking for a killer; he's drawn to her specifically. It starts with respect-admiration for her skill, the way she doesn't flinch under pressure. But then? It gets messy. Once recruited, a dangerous tension builds. Every conversation, every moment is a push and pull between an assassin and the man who should be her target. Jade and Silas are equals. She's the best assassin out there, and he's the kind of man crazy enough to invite his death just to see if she's worth his time. Neither of them fully trusts the other... but that just makes things hotter. "Am I falling for him, or is this just another game?" "Did I set this up to test her... or because I wanted to keep her close?" They should be enemies. They should walk away. But neither of them does. Because deep down, they know-this is the most fun they've had in a long time. This is the kind of love story that simmers-slow burns with tension so thick it's practically crackling. Every interaction is a game of cat and mouse, but neither of them is sure **who's who. And the best part? They both know it's dangerous. They just don't care.

"Believe me, Angel, I did not kidnap your daughter." I shouted and she shook her head, tears in her eyes. "I trusted you, I begged you to be her father but you refused, and yet you came back on your own to kidnap my daughter." She replied and Simon stood there with a smile. "You have to believe me, Simon is a dangerous man. Angel, he kidnapped your daughter and wanted to kill her." I tried telling her the truth but she didn't believe a word. "Simon would never think about doing that. He loves Angel more than you will ever love anyone. He was her father for five years and where were you? Killing innocent people." She shouted. It's really true what they say, people change completely ones you leave. I know I would never stoop so low and Kidnap her daughter. What would I even gain from kidnapping my own daughter? I am the one that saved her, Simon is lying to her and she really believes him. - - - Liam Salvatore, a nineteen-year-old who lost his parents at the age of eight turns to be a heartless psycho in order to never experience pain again but along the way, he meets Stacey Collins a broken girl who never wants to accept the fact he doesn't want to change.

standalone ~ mafia siblings series "You can't make me stay here! I will get an emancipation." I yell. Flashbacks of the gun in my hand, the almost-dead boy. I shudder.

Raised by a terrifyingly ambitious mother, blessed with noble blood, and dressed like a villain in a romantic tragedy, Virelle was expected to destroy reputations, steal the spotlight, and seduce the most powerful man in court.

She chased him, humiliated herself, and turned into the girl everyone loved to whisper about. The villainess who fell too hard and crashed even harder. But fate gave her a second chance. This time, she's staying far away from the palace, the crowns, the drama and especially from heartbreak. All she wants is a peaceful, prince-free life. Too bad the universe is a troll. Because now there's another Crown Prince. He's cold, quiet, and way too attractive for her own good. And worse? He doesn't look at her like she's the villain. He looks at her like she's the story.

When she woke up, it wasn't to the sound of beeping hospital machines or the worried voices of her family. No, she woke up to the smell of damp soil, the distant howls of wolves, and the murmurs of a crowd. Something was wrong. The people surrounding her wore ragged, animal-skin clothing, their faces solemn, their eyes filled with something she could only describe as pity. "She survived the fall," someone whispered. "The gods have chosen her," another murmured. Then, a booming voice declared, "Prepare the sacrifice. Tonight, she becomes the bride of the cursed Alpha." ...What. Her mind blanked. Bride? Cursed Alpha? And that's when it hit her. She knew this story. This world. It was an ABO novel. A trashy, over-the-top novel she had skimmed once for fun, where wolves and vampires ruled, and a terrifying, cursed Alpha-also the villain-was doomed to die alone. Except now, she wasn't just a reader. She was inside it. And worse... she was the mentally retarded village girl destined to be sacrificed to the villainous Alpha. Her second death might come even faster than the first. ____ ctto of the cover photo used:3
