The Devil's Renegade |18+
Check trigger warnings first. Your mental health matters. Aaliyah has spent eighteen years surviving a world that never wanted her soft. Passed from foster home to foster home, she learned early that cruelty often wears a smile. They bruised her skin, mocked its color, tried to break the mind they could never understand. But brilliance is difficult to bury, and Aaliyah's mind is something terrifying-sharp enough to dismantle systems, predict outcomes, and outthink anyone foolish enough to underestimate her. When a lethal woman with blood on her hands and mercy in her heart pulls Aaliyah from the wreckage of her life, survival finally begins to look like something else. Safety. Protection. A future. Then she meets Dante. Dante is a crime lord. Prince of violence. And unfortunately for Aaliyah the most beautiful man she's ever seen. Beautiful in the way storms are beautiful-mesmerizing right before they destroy you. Dante is used to obedience, fear, and getting exactly what he wants. What he does not expect is an eighteen-year-old girl with haunted eyes and a genius mind who looks at him like he is beneath her notice. The empire needs Aaliyah's intellect. Dante is tasked with keeping her close. What begins as hostility becomes obsession. What starts as war becomes something far more dangerous: tenderness. Because beneath Aaliyah's rage is a girl still learning how to be loved, and beneath Dante's brutality is a monster who would burn cities to keep her safe. But healing was never meant to happen in the shadows of organized crime. And when the past comes back hungry, Aaliyah must decide what is more dangerous-being alone, or trusting the man built to ruin her. A dark, aching enemies-to-lovers romance about survival, vengeance, and the kind of love that claws its way out of darkness. Not for persons under the age of 18. Viewer's discretion is advised.

In a world where power is currency and fear is the crown, Luca DeMarco reigns supreme. Cold, ruthless, and unyielding, he's built his empire on the bones of his enemies. When Vincent Carmine's debts come due, Luca claims the only payment worth collecting-his daughter, Isabelle. But Isabelle Carmine is no ordinary mafia princess. Trained in secret since childhood and harbouring dark truths about her family's past, she enters Luca's world not as a victim, but as a force to be reckoned with. Their arranged marriage is meant to be a simple power play, a consolidation of empire through submission. Neither expects the fire that ignites between them-a dangerous attraction that threatens to consume everything in its path. As ancient prophecies surface and old enemies emerge from the shadows, Luca and Isabelle find themselves at the centre of a storm centuries in the making.

Together with Aurora, a child of shadow and silver, he represents a future that terrifies those clinging to the old ways.
