"𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐲." ~ Marriage was never for love-it was for legacy. A strategy. A performance. And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "OMYGOSH. This book was immaculate. I could NOT put it down at all. Every chapter was AMAZING, the writing is shakespears work and each chapter made me laugh, smile, cry so much and this whole thing was a rollercoaster of emotions." -@Sunfloweraate8

Cash I fucked up. Or rather, I'm fucked up. How did I, a high ranking member of the French mafia, allow myself to be distracted by this... stripper? I was supposed to use her for information, that's it. It should have been easy. I pay her money and she tells me about the Russians. Simple. Except, I fucked it up. I let the one advantage we had over them go because I fucking claimed her. What's even worse is that she hates pretending to be my woman and fights me with every single thing. Yeah, it's a fucked up situation but now that I've met her and she's mine, I wouldn't change a goddamn thing. Lux I fucked up. I knew the risk of the Russian men finding out about me but I went along with it anyway. Hell, I almost had to. If you were offered $10,000 to ask a man a few question, would you turn it down? You're a goddamn liar if you say no. Or maybe you're smart as hell because now I'm stuck with a mafia man that refuses to leave me alone. I'm now in between a war I never knew existed. If I had the chance to go back and never meet Cash, would I do it? You damn right I would. Who am I kidding? Now I'm the goddamn liar.

Never in my life had I ever been in a relationship. Yep, you heard that right. Never have I ever had a girlfriend. I've always lived my life in the fast lane-like I'm some rockstar-but without the drugs. My drug of choice-is women. And man, do I love them. So much so that I became a plastic surgeon wanting to make women feel better about themselves, giving them whatever they want, even going above and beyond by using my magic to make them look like their idols. I enjoyed living a single life for years, never wanting to settle down. I enjoyed taking part in threesomes, one-night stands, and living dangerously by having spur-of-the-moment sex in public places with no care in the world who was around me. And I was enjoying it all until my eighty-year-old grandmother got on my case-telling me she wanted to see me married and with kids before she wasn't around anymore. So, not wanting to upset the one woman I looked up to, who I did everything for, I made her a promise-a promise to do just that. But I wasn't so sure I could because that meant giving up everything I enjoyed and loved. Then, my life changed when a woman from my past walked into my office, looking to have her scars disappear-forever. The same one who broke my heart, turning me into the man I am today. And she's even more beautiful than in high school-even with the scars she hates. And I still want her just as badly as I did when we were kids-maybe even more than ever before. The question is, will I ever be good enough for her?

*COMPLETED* "Your cheeks are turning bright red, my favorite color" he says. I break eye contact immediately and stare down. One moment he's hovering over me like a beast searching for his prey, suddenly he pins my back to the wall, grips both my elbows and holds them above my head. I'm at his mercy and I'm not doing anything to push him away. Why the fuck not. His head lowers and I look up, meeting his eyes. It's like he can see through my soul. It's become so hard for me to hold the intense eye contact but I don't have the nerve to look away either, even if I wanted to. His breathing gets rapid the more the seconds pass. "Speechless aren't you? So fucking beautiful" he whispers against my lips, and starts to bring his mouth down to mine... .............

Adonis Celts, the notorious monster who'd been rotting in prison for the past decade. Getting an interview with him just weeks before his release would be the story of a lifetime, and well worth the risk. With his hands cuffed and guards right outside the door, nothing could go wrong. Right? • • • "I've already explained I'm not afraid of you Mr. Celts. But it seems like you want me to be?" I retort. He leans forward in the chair, his face just a foot or two away from mine. The light flickers above us and it seems like a sign for me to shut the hell up. "Mmhm right. Well, maybe you have more nerve than sense then hm? Or you just don't scare as easily as the others." His jaw ticks slightly "But I can think of far better ways to get your heart racing. So no honey, fear is the last thing I want from a woman like you."
