Ms. Mafia
Being the only daughter of the Rossini Family, Audelia Valentina Rossini becomes the target of countless dangerous enemies and what happens if she falls for one of them resulting in deadly consequences that will change her life once and for all. Is it possible to love one who has destroyed your life and taken everything dear from you? I think not... "You don't know who you're messing with, Rossini." Holding a gun, he stood in front of me with disappointment written on his face. "And we both know very well that you won't shoot me..." His expression changed from an infuriated one to a shocked one, finding truth in my words. I continued my sentence. "But I can." I pulled a gun out from my back pocket catching him by surprise. I aimed it right at his head, grinning. My fingers brushed around the trigger pulling it. "And that's why I always win." . . . . Hi, this is my second book but I'm still inexperienced with these kind of writing and stuff. All I know is that writing makes me feel happy and content, and I would love to make you happy by sharing this story with you. Please note that the first few chapters might be boring. But I wanted it to be that way, I wanted to show how the lead character changes herself differently just to adapt to her surroundings, how she is good and at the same time, a bad person.Lengkap

And she's always near. Telling her what to do. Making her feel hotter than any future sister-in-law should. Caterina may be the Sweet Abelli on the outside, but she's beginning to learn she has a taste for the darkness, for rough hands, cigarettes, and whiskey-colored eyes.

Besides, even if she were hers, everyone knows you don't fall in love with a Made woman . . . right?Lengkap
You V.S. Mafia
[COMPLETED] "Shoot," Joey mumbles, letting out a string of profanities under his breath. We turn around to find a group of men, all with guns, standing where we just came from, and they look pissed... probably because they were forced to run through this tunnel after us. "Thought you could get away, didn't you?" The man who I saw before asks. His husky voice booms in the hollow tunnel, reverberating off of the dirt walls. His voice sounds familiar, and a realization strikes me. It sounds like the man from my dream. I remember him holding a gun and wearing a blue suit, smiling evilly at me. "Leave us alone," Joey says, sounding dangerous and snapping me out of my thoughts. The levity of the situation hits-we need to get out of here. I look around for a route of escape and thankfully I see a light, literally, at the end of the second tunnel. I let out a small, almost inaudible, gasp and nudge Joey. He looks at me and I subtly gesture with my head to the second tunnel. He glances at it and immediately we are on the same page. His jaw sets and he looks at the group. The man speaks up again, chuckling darkly-a sound I will never forget and will be permanently etched into my brain, "You can thank your father for starting this mess." -------------------------- Liza was a normal teenaged girl, living the average life that an eighteen year old girl should be living. She had good friends, good grades, a happy family, a loving boyfriend, and an overall content life, seemingly having everything a person could ask for. However, when she somehow gets thrown into the mix and is in the crossfires of a brutal mafia war that she has no business being a part of, things spiral out of control and she has to do whatever it takes to regain her freedom. In this hectic adventure of gun fights, torture, bank robbing and intimidating mafia men, Liza has to face it all, putting her average life on the line in order to defeat the bad guys and go back to her normal way of living.Lengkap
