Calliope Andrews, 21, has never been allowed to breathe on her own. Her parents kept her on a short leash her entire life- obedience demanded, independence denied. An arranged marriage was simply the icing on the cake for things they made her do. But who was she to be defiant about it. She was raised to listen and obey, so that's what she would do. Silas Viscuso, 26 years old. A business man in public, mafia in private. Cold. Controlled. Calculated- guarded. Raised to value power over affection, survival over softness. His past makes him who he is today, distant; deciding to never let another woman that close. That was until she came. Calliope, a sheltered girl with a gentle heart. Silas, a hardened man with a shattered past. Them, a connection that neither knows how to handle.

Mila: I thought I knew my family. But everything changed the moment they told me I was getting married, to a man I'd never met. Now I'm being pulled into a dangerous world I never asked to be part of, tied to a cold, distant Russian who makes it very clear he doesn't want me. He's cruel. He's unreadable. He looks at me like I'm a problem he didn't ask for. But the more I learn about this life, and about him, the harder it is to ignore the pull between us. I can't fall for him. I won't survive it if I do. Nikolai: I never wanted a wife. Least of all the wide-eyed Italian girl who's been dropped into my world like a lamb among wolves. She doesn't understand how things work here. She's soft. Too soft. And yet... there's something about her I can't seem to stay away from. She was never supposed to matter. But she's starting to. And that makes her dangerous. ♡ Arranged Marriage ♡ Dark Romance ♡ Mafia

Paul Lahote was fire and fury, danger and destiny all at once-and the second he imprinted on me, my entire world changed, and I finally understood Bella's desire for danger." Bella Swan wasn't the only new girl in Forks. Her twin sister has always been the loud one, the fun one, the one who hides her shadows behind a laugh. She promised she'd protect Bella, even when Bella stumbled headfirst into the dangerous world of vampires. But when heartbreak drives her sister into darkness, she finds herself storming straight into another secret world-the Quileute pack. There, she collides with Paul Lahote, the hotheaded wolf whose imprint turns her entire world upside down. She never believed love was meant for her... until fate refused to let her run.

𝐈𝐍 𝐖𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐇, Evelyn Grant, First Daughter of President Fitzgerald Grant, is forced to accept a new reality after an attempted attack on her father. To ensure her safety, the President makes an unusual move with asking Bucky Barnes, once a soldier haunted by his past and now a respected congressman, to serve as her personal bodyguard. Evelyn resents the arrangement, stubbornly independent and determined to show she doesn't need protecting. But the more time they spend together, the more Bucky's quiet devotion begins to shift her perspective. His care isn't loud or dramatic, it's steady, unshakable, and rooted in seeing her for who she is, not just the President's daughter. Their bond mirrors a love built not on grand gestures, but on a promise to simply be there, no matter the storm. For Evelyn, that constancy feels like being truly adored for the first time, and for Bucky, breaking his own rules becomes inevitable when love becomes less about protection and more about choosing her, over and over again.

No not her body, because she is as flat as the line on her victims heart monitor.
