Everyone has another personality they don't want anyone else to see.

New Syracuse is a town terrorized by gangs fighting for territory. Young artist Kazimir Ivánovič Vassiliev barely escapes the murderous depths known as Viper Valley when he drives down there for his precious cocaine. When Kazimir seeks help from gangster Emmett Larson for a murder investigation, he never knew how strong his feelings would grow as they investigate and try to clear his name. Amid their murderous world, love is the last thing they need on their plate, but the heart isn't always tamable.

The line that keeps good and evil divided is wearing thin, cutting deep through Kazimir's fragile heart as he struggles to piece himself back together. Will he be able to return from the shadows as a victorious hero, or will he succumb to his dark desires and let his own demons control him?

V is for Violet (COMPLETE) by Bailey-Elizabeth
44 parts Complete Mature
-COMPLETE original version PLUS first half of new version!- "I don't know what to do," I admitted for the first time to both her and myself. "I don't know how to maintain this without fucking something up. I don't know how to keep spending time with you without setting a bad example or slipping up in front of my Family." Violet sat up and turned to face me. "I can't answer that for you," she said with a sad smile. "But I can go. I can make this easier, stay out of your way for a while." She stood on her knees between my legs, close, but not touching, and watched me with those wide, ocean eyes. I should have told her to go- listened to her suggestion and put some real distance between us. It would have been smarter, safer. But it would feel like cutting off my own hands. "I don't want that," I murmured, and reached for her waist. (excerpt from new version) --- Vengeance. Vendetta. Violence. These three words are all Violet Harcourt knows. For years, her world has been centered around killing Bill Pfeiffer, the hitman who murdered her father and sister. She's learned the criminal underground inside and out while masquerading as a quiet art student, bringing her closer and closer to her target. Now, it's time to blow her cover, and Bill Pfeiffer's brains out. Vitale Fierro lives a carefree life at the top of the Salvaggi Mafia. Business has been good, and Chicago isn't a bad place to call home when you're a professional criminal. But when a girl with purple hair murders the Family's prized hitman, he's given the responsibility of what to do with her. To kill, or not to kill seems to be the ultimate question- one he must answer while managing a promotion, taking down a rival Family, and trying not to fall in love. Book 1 of the Rough Love Novels
