Devil's Angel | Tom Kaulitz
He is known to be like the devil, that's how he got his name. A heartless killer. People disappear when they see his presence, but scream when they don't see it. He is deranged, heartless, and some would call him a monster. He has killed more people than he has loved. What the world doesn't know is that there was once a little boy. A boy who lost all hope in the goodness of the world before he could even experience it. Rose eventually learns that even the most disturbed, cruel, and dangerous people have needs. She knows he's dangerous, cold, and considered a monster. But she can't help but see him as just a man who had everything taken from him before he even had a chance to say his first word. *This book is essentially more of a love story than a mafia story.*
Ollie Savage
Ollie had the looks that could afford him any girl. He had nerves of still and the hunger for more, so much more out of life. Friends are always good to have, but what if your best friend sets you up with his drop dead gorgeous sister? He knew. Oliver knew she was too hot and too naughty to resist. The fear of being blown off by her made him want her even more. She knew he was dangerous but so we're her brothers. It was the perfect storm, for he was her kind of man, a very dangerous man. Everything about their love triangle said danger but no one wanted to back out while they still could. Deena stayed with him, for his was her wedded husband. But so did Nancy, for he was hers to win over. What both women did not realise was there was another secret competitor. There was the beautiful and extrovert Linda, Deena's younger sister also lacking in the shadows. She was after him and nothing would stop her from pursuing him. You see, what these three women failed to realise was Ollie was happy to love them, to protect them and to provide for them all. This was the life he had glamorised as a child in his native village, back in Zambani, Africa. Having relocated and lived in Great Britain for the better half of his life was not going to change that part about him. Polygamy was part of who he was. The only new thing about Ollie now was being a gangster, a big beautiful gangster. One would think he'd stop chasing that money once his business had taken off but no, not Ollie. The chase gave him a reason to love and to live. For without it, he simply had no reason to love or to live. This story is based on true events. Events that encompassed an African culture. #polygamy #sisterwives #literaryfiction #gangsterComplete

little bird
Jamie has been obsessed with Ife since the day he saw her from afar as a child, and when they eventually meet, Jamie knows that his feelings for her will never let him rest. A forbidden love story between two worlds that society deems incompatible. Ife was born into a world of wealth and privilege, raised in luxury and bombarded by rules she had to abide by, yet always wanting more than the small cage she was trapped in. She craved adventure and excitement, yearning for something that would make her life meaningful. Jamie had a completely different upbringing; one where danger lurked around every corner and criminal activity seemed like second nature. He had built up walls so thick that he couldn't get close to anyone without feeling like he was being suffocated. However, when the two finally reconnect after eight long years apart, their worlds finally intersect and collide. For Jamie it's like all his years of pining after Ife have finally come to fruition. And for Ife, it's like a dream come true; she finally gets to experience the excitement and thrill that comes with being so close to Jamie's world. However, while Jamie is blatantly aware of his feelings towards Ife, she was shockingly obtuse towards anything regarding romance-seems like he's destined for a one-sided love forever. or a sheltered mafia princess and a morally corrupt gang member who's been obsessed with her for pretty much his entire life.
