"The nightmares got worse recently. They're always about her now. I'm scared... No, TERRIFIED, to lose her... What the hell am I supposed to do?!"
"That just means ya love her, Sam. And based on what you've told me, I'd say ya picked right. Ya can always tell how much someone cares about sonething by how scared they are to lose it."
In this world, Humans have what are known as Oddities. Supernatural powers and abilities that step outside the realm of reality. Not all have these powers, but even so, they coexist in harmony.
Sort of.
With power comes curruption, and many cities have super powered Mafias and Gangs running the streets. The Mafias are powerful, but orderly, whereas the Gangs are simply there to cause chaos.
A high ranking member of The Angel City Mafia, named Sam, finds himself falling for a woman who works at the local garden. Her name is Aria.
He knows that being with him will only put her in danger, but she refuses to leave, even after she finds out what he has done.
Nobody enters the Mafia without getting their hands dirty.

Mercury's Thief
Theo has always been a survivor. Living in the shadows of a decaying city, he steals to keep himself and his younger sister, Ellie, alive-dodging beatings, threats, and the ever-watchful eyes of the black market's worst. He knows the streets, knows how to pick his targets, and most importantly, knows when to run. But when a routine pickpocketing job goes disastrously wrong, Theo doesn't just steal a wallet-he steals a god's coin. And with it, he steals the attention of the wrong people. Now bound to Hermes-yes, that Hermes, the god of thieves, now trapped in a coin-Theo finds himself hunted by a shadowy underground force. The men in suits? Not just bodyguards. The powder hidden in the stolen pocket watch? Not just drugs. Someone has found a way to break gods apart and turn their divinity into a powerful, addictive substance. With cartel enforcers, rival thieves, and ancient forces closing in, Theo does the only thing he can-he fights back. What they find? Terrifying. Because gods don't rule anymore. They're hunted, harvested, and sold. And someone-or something-is pulling the strings behind it all. If Theo to survive, he'll need to uncover the truth before they become the next pieces on the board.

Protecting You ("The Shadows" Series: Book I)
"We are here with you." She said and hugged me with gentleness. My shoulder sagged in relief as I hugged her back. She broke the hug and caressed my hair. "You know her?" Ryan asked, confusion evident in his voice. Wow!!! He never showed his emotion in public. Maybe his family being here made him act like a normal guy!! "Yes. I gave her photo to you after your meeting yesterday." His father said as he came by my side and patted my back. I gave him a small smile. I had never met him and his wife before, but the closeness between him and and my father was evident by the way his forehead held creases and by the tension all over his face. Still he was making me feel like a daughter to him. "Which photo?" He asked and suddenly the realization crossed his eyes. "Is she-" "The one you will be marrying Ryan. She is your soon-to-be wife." His father declared as he looked at me with shock. "Did you know that?" He said, his face void of any emotion. I nodded while looking anywhere but him. He cursed under his breath and his mother was about to scold him for that when he looked at me in anger and frustration. I gulped.

Mr. Regnante [Mafioso Book#1] (SAMPLE)
*Heighest ranking 26th in Love, 1st in General Fiction, and 1st in Tragedy, as well as no#1 in mystery* When you're the most feared and powerful Italian Mafia Boss, you cannot have the world know of your existence or of any personal ties you may have. Otherwise bad things tend to happen, and this man learned that lesson the hard way. Now, he refuses to allow anyone close to him, much less get anywhere past his cold exterior. Their story wasn't meant to begin like it did. They weren't meant to meet the way they did. After all, she was only a university student and he was a ghost. Nonexistent, a rumor, a story you told your children at night. But when the most unforeseen circumstances cause their paths to cross, not once, not twice, but thrice--an encounter that ends with the vow of discretion and avoidance. They have no choice but to acknowledge they have to stay away before one of them gets hurt. Which is exactly what happens. This causes another encounter between the two, but this time with a promise of safety and security, because he owes her his life. *** "I say what I mean, and I do what I say." He assured in a low rumbling voice that had her transported back to older times. "And when I say I will keep you safe, believe me, that not even a hair on your head will be touched."

The Darkness in the Light
For over a hundred years, humanity has lived in fear of the monsters that roam the streets, lurking in the drains below. Women and their daughters hide, protected in their homes, while men take their sons through the world, teaching them the responsibilities of having a family to feed and dangers to avoid. No one leaves the home unless it's essential, and most of the world prefers it that way. Until one girl spends her days perched on her window seat, looking down at the world below and dreaming of a different life. Her eyes are always drawn to the dark, ominous drains in the street, the ones that often blink open to swallow and person whole. One day, that person is her little brother, snatched right in front of her from their arms of their father and gone forever. When a person is snatched, they never return, and life goes on without them. But she can't accept that. Breaking all the rules, all the things she's ever known, she braves the world outside her little townhouse and goes on a mission into the darkness to find her brother. Only, it's soon her that becomes the one lost to the drains. To survive she must rediscover her world, and in the process, rediscover herself. She will be reunited with old friends, gain new ones, find out deeper secrets about her past than she ever could have imagined, and learn that the world is even more corrupt than she always thought. *** This story contains sexist ideology, mention of cheating, some gruesome scenes, and a whole lot of monsters and darkness. It isn't overly mature... there isn't much explicit language or sexual scenes, but there is a bit of violence, so just keep that in mind... and despite all that negativity, ENJOY!Terminé
