Tommy Santalesa never paid heed to dark whisperings of the older Italians in his working-class SoHo, New York neighborhood. When they said to avoid the old foundry and spoke of witches and evil, he assumed it was idle chatter. He's about to discover he should respect his elders' words. 
     When his band member and childhood friend Frank disappears, Tommy embarks on a search of the muggy after-hours streets of the local printing district. There, he learns that everyone seems to want Frank for something. The police want him. A retired cop and rumored mob enforcer wants him. And the shadowy, murderous force dwelling in the foundry's courtyard already has him - and she doesn't want to give him up. 
      As for Frank himself, he's looking worse for the wear. The fact that he no longer has a pulse might be a contributing factor, but if so, how's he still up and moving?

Like in the deck of cards, the Ace outranks the King-and so does Ace Salvatore. A Greek-Italian mafia leader feared by all, Ace is a man of unspeakable cruelty, a calculated mind ruling an empire built on blood and terror. His face is a mystery- those who've seen it are long gone, silenced by his wrath. Manipulative, controlling, psychotic, and untouchable, he rules his empire with an iron fist, his past buried beneath layers of bloodshed and regret. His obsession with power and control leaves no room for weakness-not in himself, not in his enemies, and certainly not in others. When a desperate debtor can't repay what's owed, he offers something unexpected to settle the score: a little girl. Ace accepts the deal, not out of need, but because curiosity flickers in his mind- a curiosity he loathes. Yet the little girl is more than just an innocent. She unknowingly awakens ghosts of Ace's past- a life of betrayal, loss, and secrets he swore to bury. Even monsters have scars. The darkness that shaped him, the wounds he carries, and the revenge that fuels his every decision begin to resurface. The past never truly stays buried. As their worlds collide, her presence becomes both his salvation and his torment. But as the past catches up, threatening to destroy everything, Ace must face a harrowing choice: cling to the monster he's become, or risk everything for the one thing he never thought he'd have- a chance at redemption. Will his darkness consume her and change her? Or will she destroy him? #First book got removed by wattpad so I am updating it again.

And sometimes, they're a lot closer to you than you think. 18 year old Hana is forced into moving across the country to a foreign land, full of people she doesn't know, just for her father's business.

Secrets are revealed, blood is shed and tears are cried but does Hana have what it takes to live this life she's been thrown into? Or will her depression swallow her whole as she fights to keep her head above water. "The mafia it seems is no place for a girl like you" "I'd rather die than be seen with the likes of you" "I can't! "I can't do this anymore. You lie you cheat you do everything in your power to make me not trust you! I've just found out you were using me and for what? To what end? Huh?" You scream into the boys face but he doesn't even flinch. His eyes still dark and stormy pools. "I trusted you. Maybe even loved you! What am I? Just a fucking toy to satisfy your musings?" You can't help but let a tear to slip down your flush cheek, allowing it to leave a warm traitorous trail down your face that cools and dries upon contact with the air around you. "Maybe that was the old me, but you aren't just a play thing now. You're my world"
