Her life had been a gilded cage, where she was a beautiful, sweet Cinderella. However, beneath her warm, sunflower-like exterior lurked a wild, untamed side, known only to her. As she approached the man, unable to resist her desire, she found herself confronting this hidden darkness. What drove her to unleash this side? Was it love, obsession, or something deeper? In this tale of unexpected twists, she discovers that true love stories are rarely as simple as fairytales, and not all end in happily ever after.

V is for Violet (COMPLETE) by Bailey-Elizabeth

-COMPLETE original version PLUS first half of new version!- "I don't know what to do," I admitted for the first time to both her and myself. "I don't know how to maintain this without fucking something up. I don't know how to keep spending time with you without setting a bad example or slipping up in front of my Family." Violet sat up and turned to face me. "I can't answer that for you," she said with a sad smile. "But I can go. I can make this easier, stay out of your way for a while." She stood on her knees between my legs, close, but not touching, and watched me with those wide, ocean eyes. I should have told her to go- listened to her suggestion and put some real distance between us. It would have been smarter, safer. But it would feel like cutting off my own hands. "I don't want that," I murmured, and reached for her waist. (excerpt from new version) --- Vengeance. Vendetta. Violence. These three words are all Violet Harcourt knows. For years, her world has been centered around killing Bill Pfeiffer, the hitman who murdered her father and sister. She's learned the criminal underground inside and out while masquerading as a quiet art student, bringing her closer and closer to her target. Now, it's time to blow her cover, and Bill Pfeiffer's brains out. Vitale Fierro lives a carefree life at the top of the Salvaggi Mafia. Business has been good, and Chicago isn't a bad place to call home when you're a professional criminal. But when a girl with purple hair murders the Family's prized hitman, he's given the responsibility of what to do with her. To kill, or not to kill seems to be the ultimate question- one he must answer while managing a promotion, taking down a rival Family, and trying not to fall in love. Book 1 of the Rough Love Novels

Watching Her by sophiaxscorpio

"Who did this?" I turned around, scared, gasping at who was standing in front of me. He couldn't care, right? He didn't. He was asking because those bruises had looked weird, weird enough to even surprise such a person like him, a person who destroyed anything that came into his way. - Young Celine has seen everything. Weapons, murder, abuse, even forced love. Something so common in her world is something the closed-off girl fears so much, to be in love with someone. To love, commit, support, none of which she has experienced on her own. But what is she supposed to do when somebody decides to crash down her built up walls, forcing her to share everything she once kept for herself? There is no way out when terror turns into passion. Mateo Bane is known throughout the world to cause panic and nervousness everywhere he goes. A world in which the girls throw themselves at him, if it for his money or his looks, it doesn't matter. So when he meets Celine, somebody he now has responsibility for, somebody who would never even try to sympathize with the heir of the Bane household, he is startled to say the least. Yet, so madly focused on this confusion that he doesn't notice what she is doing to him until it is too late. - "I know you, I've seen your eyes." "I've known you since the day you knocked on my door." #2 in enemiestolovers #1 in mafiaromance *very proud*
