Phoebe Marlowe has spent her life trying not to be noticed- soft, timid, gentle to the bone. But softness has no place in New York's criminal underworld. When her grieving father signs a fatal contract with the Valenti crime syndicate, Phoebe becomes the debt. At eighteen, she is handed over as the unwilling bride of Romeo Valenti- the cold, ruthless heir to an empire built on blood, fear, and obedience. Romeo doesn't want a wife. He wants nothing to do with the fragile girl who flinches when he enters a room. Yet the moment she steps into his world of marble floors and locked doors, Phoebe becomes a liability he can't ignore-and a weakness he never wanted. She breaks rules she doesn't understand. He punishes a girl who can barely lift her eyes. She cries through dinner etiquette lessons. He threatens to kill anyone who makes her cry again. And when she tries to run, he hunts her. But the deeper Phoebe sinks into the Valenti world, the more she sees its truest monster- Dorian Valenti, Romeo's father, a kingpin who uses people like weapons and cages girls like pets.

She was sold to pay a debt. He was born to rule an empire built on blood. Sofia Marina has spent years surviving a life she never chose. By day, she works in a quiet Manhattan bakery, pretending she is normal. By night, she serves drinks in a luxury gentlemen's club owned by the man who bought her freedom before she was old enough to understand what it meant. She belongs to a contract. To a debt. To silence. Until the night Alessandro Valenti walks in. Twenty-seven. Italian. Untouchable. The most powerful Don in Italy doesn't believe in fate. He believes in control. But when his eyes meet hers under violet lights and expensive lies, something shifts. Not desire. Not lust. Recognition. And Alessandro Valenti does not ignore what he wants. What begins as curiosity turns into obsession. What begins as business turns into war. Because Sofia has a past that refuses to stay buried. A violent ex. A dangerous debt. And men who believe they own her. But they made one mistake. They let Valenti see her. This is not a fairytale. This is a dark empire colliding with a broken girl who refuses to stay broken. And when the Don decides something is his... He never lets it go.

Harper is a nurse at an elite private hospital for VIPs. She handles difficult people for a living, but nobody is as impossible-or as dangerous-as her newest patient. Alessandro arrives half-dead, breathtakingly handsome, and completely uncontrollable. He's arrogant, Italian, and refuses to follow orders. But Harper is the only one on the ward who won't back down. While others tremble at his glare, she takes charge. Who else can claim they physically tied the boss of the Italian Mafia to his hospital bed for an entire night just because he was being a "bad patient"? Harper definitely can. She restrained the Devil himself to save his life. But what happens when the Don is finally released?

Aurora Gomez is a 22 year old girl, who had to learn how to survive on her own after the death of her parents. She's a law student by day and a stripper by night, how else would she pay for tuition? She hasn't felt anything in years, she's practically numb, until an unfortunate encounter connects her with a man who evokes nothing , but pure hatred from her. Lorenzo Romano is the 30 year old leader of the Italian mafia, the Dón. He's ruthless and merciless. He's a busy man who hardly comes into the city, until his reign is being threatened and the only one who can help him is Aurora. The woman who he hated at first sight. Not to mention she can't stand him either. **UNEDITED**

"Tell me." He whispered, voice husky with amusement. "If I take this dress off of you and touch you here." His thumb traced slow circles over the tightening nub, rubbing gently, deliberately making it harder. "Would you be wet, Олонок?" Heat surged through me like wildfire. My breath hitched before I could stop it. My lips parted, and instinctively, I bit down on my lower lip, tasting my own flesh. His thumb continued its torturous dance over the areola, small circles that became firmer, coaxing every nerve to attention. I could feel the skin puckering under his touch, my body betraying me in slow, shuddering responses. I wanted to pull away, to stand, to breathe but the grip of his gaze held me captive. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elara Sinclair came to Maryville to disappear. After fleeing the engagement her father arranged, one that would have chained her to a life she didn't choose. She only wants quiet, classes, anonymity, and a future of her own making. But quiet shatters the moment she enrolls in Russian during her third year. Her professor, Draven Volkov, is everything she should avoid. Commanding Magnetic Impossible to ignore. His dark eyes promise more than language lessons, and his words curl around her like silk. But behind the sharp suits and the accent is a man with secrets far more dangerous than she realizes. Because Draven Volkov isn't just a professor. He's Lucius Romanov, heir to a ruthless Russian mafia dynasty, hiding in plain sight. As Elara struggles to outrun her past, she finds herself entangled in his. Desire wars with fear, attraction with survival, and every step closer to him pulls her deeper into a world of power, deception, and sin. In Maryville, falling for the wrong man doesn't just break hearts. It can cost lives.

He was born into wealth and privilege. She was born into struggle. As children, he made her life miserable. He bullied her relentlessly, mocking her in front of classmates because she was overweight, quiet, and came from a poor, striving family. He humiliated her at every chance he got, tearing down her confidence and chasing away anyone who dared to befriend her. She hated him with every piece of her heart and prayed that once high school ended, their paths would never cross again. Fate seemed to answer her prayers. After graduation, she earned a scholarship to study in the United States, leaving behind the pain, the memories... and him. Six years passed. She was no longer the same girl he once knew. But fate had its own plans. An unexpected meeting. A past that refused to stay buried. A boy who once broke her. A man who might beg for forgiveness. Will he be given a second chance? Will she let go of the hate she carried for years... or will her past remain unforgiven? Some wounds heal. Some loves begin with pain.

A slow smirk curved his lips - not warm, not kind... the kind that made the air feel thinner. "Scared?" he said quietly, almost amused. "You should be." Her breath hitched. "I'm not going to hurt you," he continued, voice low and controlled, "unless you give me a reason to."

She got drunk in Vegas. She woke up married to the Don. 🂡 Indie Rowe: I got drunk in Vegas and married a stranger. I thought annulment would fix it. I didn't know he was a Don-or that staying married was the only thing keeping me alive from his enemies. Rafe DeSantis: Vegas was supposed to be business. Then she fell into my arms and signed my last name. Now my enemies know her face-and I'll burn the city before I let her go. 🂡 His hands slide up my thighs, and the heat between us is unbearable. "Legs on my shoulders, baby," he growls. My pulse spikes. I bite my lip, heart hammering. "Mm." I whisper, letting my body obey before my brain can even think.
