Revenge. I'm familiar with it. You have to be when you're the firstborn son of a notorious mafia leader. Death and vengeance have been the very foundations of my life. So who in their fucking mind would be stupid enough to cross me? My brother and I have been wrongfully convicted of a crime we didn't commit. We know who is behind this. We bid our time behind bars, planned and prepared for the day we got out. Now we're free and hungry for redemption. I know what must be done. I know whose blood will be spilled. But before I go after him, I'll go after his daughter. I never said I play fair. *Book one in the Marino Brothers Duet. Rated 18+ due to explicit language, sex, and violence.*

After unknowingly saving a mafia boss from a botched bank robbery, Kiara accepts an offer to work for him as a translator, not realizing love may become part of the package. ***** Though Kiara Payne may be a genius when it comes to languages, what she knows of the real world largely comes from books and movies. But after foiling a robbery on her first day as a bank teller, Kiara finds herself thrust into a world of danger, her life resting in the hands of the infuriatingly sexy Italian mafia boss Milo Di Vaio. In exchange for her safety, Kiara agrees to serve as Milo's translator, accompanying him across Europe as he tries to clean up the mess his late brother left behind and save the reputation of the Di Vaio crime family. Cold, ruthless, and sinfully beautiful, Milo is hard to resist but even harder to love. As tensions rise and secrets are spilled, Milo and Kiara are both forced to question everything they thought they knew. Does love outweigh loyalty? And if so, is it worth dying for?

With a mutual enemy threatening their mafias, they find themselves in an unexpected alliance, and soon discover killing each other isn't the only temptation they need to resist... ****** Allegra Grey is poised to be the next great American mafia leader, and she's more than living up to the name.

Do any of the following titles "Bad boy and miss popular" "the bad boy and the nerd" "the bad boy is my best friend" and even "the bad boy is a werewolf and he's my mate. wat. omg" sound familiar? It's true that everyone loves a bad boy, but what happens when the roles are reversed? BAM introducing the reign of the bad girl. Ava Maxwell is smart, sassy, sexy and definitely a bad girl. She's full of self-confidence that makes her respected by the girls and chased after by the guys. She only dates the bad boys though: they 'get' that she's not in it for the long run, because neither are they. But when Ava is forcibly paired with quiet goody-two shoes Ryan Haywood, the unexpectedly hot straight A student beneath a-dork-able square glasses, it seems like it's actually possible that there is a guy who is immune to Ava's charms! Preppy and by-the-book, there's way more to Ryan that just being 'teacher's pet.' He's got hidden secrets that few know about, and a certain curious female has made it her mission to figure out just what goes on behind those pensive deep-blue eyes. But what she finds may end up being more than both he and she bargained for. Will he bring out a softer side to her that she thought was lost? Will she stir up some trouble into his dull, routine life? And most importantly, when sparks fly and feelings grow, Will the bad girl have to change her ways and become good? Read and find out :) (This is NOT a roosterteeth fanfic, sorry for any confusion)
