When you can't trust in angels, you turn to the devil for a pact.
Alessandro Steno is Venice's living legend. Trying to wash old blood off his hands, he hunts the city's worst criminals. Investigating the grotesque deaths of famous artists, Alessandro finds himself face to face with a ghost story. An assassin known as 'The Reaper'. And in the shadows of the dead hides something bound to destroy his city and plunge the world into chaos. In dire need of allies, Alessandro finds out beggars can't be choosers...
A stranger offers him a deal: he will kill the Reaper, if the inspector let's him uncover the secrets of his father. Alessandro just might have to team up with one demon to defeat another...
A girl hellbent on revenge for the murder of her friend won't stay home in the safety of wealth and marriage. Wanting to prove herself at all costs, she might just be the Reaper's easiest catch...
Can liars find the truth? How long can they fight all fronts -- themselves, each other, the world? Who can beat death's game?

Tear In My Heart ✔️
"Noah, I won't do it unless you ask me to," he whispered, his voice seductively low. "What?" I asked almost breathless. "Kiss you," he murmured. "And God, there are no words for how badly I want to." **** Noah was your all American boy. Captain of his soccer team, extremely good-looking, having other boys want to be him and girls want to be with him, but there's one problem. He doesn't chase after the captain of the cheerleading squad or the girls who spread their legs open for whoever asks. In fact, he doesn't go for any girl. Instead, he hates himself when his eyes linger on a guy that his brain and heart say is cute. He's gay, and he's having a hard time accepting himself for it. It doesn't help when he wakes up almost naked in another guy's house, let alone in another guy's bed. And to make matters worse, he can't help but fall for the outspoken and extremely attractive Madison who he'd drunkenly went home with and tried to screw. Finally, to add the cherry on top of the crap-tastic cake, Noah is forced to work with Madison for at least six months, or he'll lose his beloved soccer. Nothing could go wrong, right? Throw in a bit of awkwardness mixed with a few close calls and you've got a recipe for disaster....and a tiny tear in Noah's heavily protected heart. © 2018 *endless thanks and love to @half_a_hetero for helping me with the Italian in this book.

Oaths & Bruises (WILLIAMEST & NUTHONG FANFIC)
Est grieves the death of his partner, finding quiet in self-harm until he meets Hong-owner of an underground BDSM club who teaches him that pain and pleasure are two sides of the same coin. But when Est sees something he shouldn't, he falls into the hands of William- leader of a mafia sect and a broken sadist whose cracks leave space only for him. By night, Hong rules The Citadel- an underground bdsm club. By day, he hides behind the badge of a cop, protecting the club's ties to the mafia. However, his world falls apart when Nut, a new detective investigating drug-related deaths, receives an anonymous tip with five names- one that hits too close to Hong. Now, he must cover his tracks while falling for the very same man sent to bring him down. In the wake of grief, lust, and secrets, the four men's lives collide. And what follows is a storm of romance, lies, betrayal, and chaos- where love cuts as deep as violence, and no one leaves untouched. __________________________ This work is inspired by The Original Sinners series by Tiffany Reisz- one of my all-time favorites. Disclaimer: This story contains very heavy themes and real BDSM, not the airbrushed version you see in today's media. It's unfiltered and brutal. If that makes you uncomfortable, I suggest you end your journey here.♥️ I'll post updates weekly or even earlier. I will also update the tags as I go. I hope you enjoy reading what I come up with. ♥️

Reap the Earth at Which you Stand [boyxboy]
Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...Concluída

Can You Keep My Secret?
"You know, most people wouldn't trust someone like me with so many secrets." "But you shared those secrets with me" Aiden murmured. "And if you trust me with secrets like those, how can I not show you the same amount of trust?" He couldn't see him, but he could hear the smile in Kazimir's voice. "That is true. But promise me one thing." "Anything." "You have to not speak a word of this ever. I'm no one and you don't know me" Kazimir whispered into Aiden's hair. Aiden nodded again. "I understand. Don't worry, Kazimir. Your secret is safe with me." Aiden finds himself caught in a tough situation when he catches a man carrying a dead body on his shoulder. Defenseless and clueless, he is kidnapped by the strange man and taken to an unknown place that appears to have no way out.

Heart's Choice
Finally free of the possessions that plagued him since childhood, Carlos moves to Spring Lakes and opens his own auto-garage. But even a life free of demons isn't a walk in the park, and Carlos soon has plenty of earthly problems to worry about. As he struggles to get a fledgling business off the ground and make ends meet, he barely has time to think of much else, and remains luckless in love. When his hapless assistant, Kyle, turns up dead, however, Carlos finds himself in trouble of a different kind, and the new detective in town-John Turner-has Carlos pegged as suspect number one. Meanwhile, Carlos has his own reasons for wanting the murder solved. Kyle's ghost won't leave him alone, and obviously has something important to say, but Carlos fears opening himself to the supernatural; if he lets Kyle through, he worries what else might follow. Reluctantly, Carlos and Detective Turner join forces, and gradually develop a mutual respect-and possibly attraction, as well. But Turner isn't completely unattached, and Carlos wonders if he's once again a distant second choice, or worse-a consolation prize. Will Carlos be third-wheeling forever, or will he find his own true love at last?Concluída
