Imagine your father-a once honorable and loving man, now desperate and powerless-can no longer pay the unforgiving gambling debt he had stacked up for decades. And because he's unable to be that protective and respected father he once was, he sells his only daughter to a notorious Mexican gang leader as collateral just to save himself from death. As troubling as they may have been as a dream, that was the reality of 24-year-old Naomi Bennett. As soon as her birthday came around, she was bombarded with devastating news that she would no longer have control of her life. She was now owned by a random man due to an issue she had no association with, unable to escape or hide from his ruthlessness, conniving ways, and inhumane behavior. Since becoming the new leader of the Mexican gang, The Black Shadow, Santiago Alejandro de la Vega vowed to maintain that mysterious and demeaning atmosphere the organization has been carrying for years. He handled business as he saw fit: coldblooded, devious, haunting, and dirty. No one ever thought to play with him out of fear of what he could and would do if tried, except for one. A woman who was given to him as collateral, a hardheaded piece of property that angered every cell in his body and made his job more difficult than it had ever been. As badly as he wants to send her away to the mountains-avoid having to constantly deal with her attitudes and sass-Santiago finds her rebelliousness intriguing enough to keep her around. Emotions flare. Feelings emerge. Problems spark. The Devil holds rules and codes of conduct to keep himself and his team in line. Any rule broken is met with severe consequences. But he couldn't help but risk breaking one for her. Published: 07/3/25 Ended:

+18 Igor patted his thigh-slow, deliberate. "Come here," he said, voice thick with amusement. "Sit on my lap. You look tense." Etta stood her ground, she didn't want him to win. His smirk deepened "You want to see what happens when I ask again?" **** When Etta agrees to a spontaneous trip to Russia with her best friend, she expects snow, sightseeing, and maybe a little adventure-not to be hunted down by a brooding, relentless police officer with icy dark grey eyes and a claim that burns. Igor doesn't ask. He takes. And from the moment he sees her... she's his. WARNING: This story contains dark themes, obsession, NASTY sexual scenes, Reader discretion is advised.

When Simone came back to New York, all she wanted was to live a little - have fun. That was until she met her new boss. Luciano is cold, emotionless, detached, and annoyingly attractive distraction, one that was hard to ignore. Simone never wanted the attraction, but she couldn't stop it, not when he invaded her every thought. Luciano had a purpose, to keep the facade he built for himself, one that masked his true identity - he was the head of the Costa Mafia. He wants the girl, and he wouldn't stop until he had her. #1 Modeling #4 Sinful #4 Hispanic #4 Olderguy

Xavier Vale was ten years old when he became a killer. Fifteen years later, he's released into a world that still fears him, monitored, broken, and forced into therapy he never asked for. With a past soaked in blood and a mind that refuses to stay quiet, Xavier is the kind of patient no one wants to treat. Except Avery Sinclair. At twenty-two, Avery is only a trainee, but when every professional turns him away, she's the only one willing to listen. What begins as mandatory therapy slowly turns into something far more dangerous, something neither of them is supposed to feel. As Xavier battles mental illness, buried trauma, and the ghosts of his past, a familiar threat resurfaces, intent on destroying what little peace he's found. Love becomes a risk. Healing becomes a weapon. And survival is no longer guaranteed. Love Therapy is a dark psychological romance about forbidden connections, broken minds, and the terrifying question of whether love can truly save someone, or ruin them completely. --- cover by me --- concept by me and friends --- all rights reserved
