~Her hand felt like lead as she lifted it to his cheek and brushed a tear from his soft skin.
"What are you waiting for? I'm already dying."~
Celeste Moyer has a trick up her sleeve. She can hear people's heartbeats, see their lifelines, and manipulate them at will. This makes her especially good at her job: assassination. When her father is killed by the biggest crime ring in her kingdom, Celeste vows to kill them one by one. A woman by the name of Johanna adopts her and can give her everything she wishes for. Johanna can make Celeste the most feared assassin in the kingdom, and possibly in the whole world. Celeste agrees and her path of vengeance takes winding turns; where enemies become allies, words become weapons, and truth becomes deceit.

Bound by Blood and Vowss
When Scarlett Moretti is forced into a contract marriage with cold-blooded mafia heir Lorenzo De Rossi to settle her family's debts, she becomes a pawn in a deadly game of power and secrets. Trapped in a loveless union and surrounded by danger, Scarlett must navigate the dark underworld of crime, betrayal, and temptation-while fighting the pull of a man who might be her worst enemy or her only salvation. --- "Was last night just your way of silencing the screams-the blood?" Lorenzo's voice was velvet and fire. "No, it was me reminding you... you don't get to stand on the sidelines anymore. You're mine-in body, in loyalty, in blood." "This isn't love," she whispered. "It's not even a marriage." He moved like a storm, pinning her to the wall with just his presence. "You're right," he murmured, fingers trailing up her waist. "This isn't love. This is power. Surrender. The kind that burns through your spine and brands your soul." "You think you own me?" she asked, breathless. He leaned in, his voice a command disguised as a whisper. "I do. But what haunts you most... is that some twisted part of you wants me to." --- A dark romance where vows are weapons, love is a risk, and trust could be fatal.Concluida
The Shooting
'What would be your last thoughts if you knew, your life was to be taken, in less than the blink of an eye? How would you live being in constant fear? Or being watched? Or not knowing when it will strike?' Lenora is your cliché teenager in school. The average, introverted, and shy student. But with a piquant and witty side. She always valued everything in life; never choosing to be greedy and cruel, content with how everything is. When something life changing happens, Lenora begins to set out with a new mindset; on the hunt to find the 'mysterious person' who endangered her life. There was something much more than just a 'supposed' shooting. Come and see what lurks behind the dark corners. From behind the rustling bushes. To where the mysterious 'clicks' keep coming from. Come and understand one's betrayal and thirst for utter vengeance. (SNEAK PEEK): ''Why are you doing this!'' Lorena screamed. The ropes restraining her tightened. She can feel the cool tip of the knife run along her half-naked body. Her tears threaten to fall; but she does not let them. ''Oh baby, it's because you're letting me.'' He whispers. ''Let's play.'' © Goofballnerd 2015 / Edited 2018Concluida
Tried For Error
"Previously known as... Scarletstroke: Girl assassin" * No hesitation * No killing of children * No killing of innocent people * No emotions * And defenitely, NO falling in love ~ Those are the main rules code named Scarletstroke, former assassin Scarlett Gonzales lives by. She is a highly-trained, highly-precise and highly-dangerous killer who considers herself the same as any other businesswoman, doing 'just her job' and convincing herself that she is dealing with 'just her target' rather than a person. She succeeds in contract killing better than any known assassin that ever existed and successfully ignores all feelings or emotions, knowing that they tend to make the "job" not go as planned. So when a new contract comes in and the mark is a certain gang leader that caught Scarlett's eye, she couldn't resist venturing deeper into a world filled with illegal activities on a personal mission to find out why he has a price on his head. Although, what she finds in that world isn't quite what she expected. Now, torn between duty and passion, Scarlett must decide if she pulls the trigger or if she becomes the target herself? Who knows, maybe he might be the answer to her deepest desires. Because her next target: Cayden Carlisle. +++ The culprit took in a deep, calming breath. "You may as well shoot me now, but just know that I am still going to kiss you." By the time he grabbed her waist with one hand and her wrist, connecting to the hand holding the gun, with the other... she was lost. Completely gone. She never stood a chance. His smell, his mouth, his soft growling noises. They were more than enough to disarm her. "I finally figured something out about you." He whispered, pulling her closer, trying to meld every part of her to him. "You display all your emotions through body language. In this case, your hand is betraying your mask." Every word of his was chosen for maximum impact. No wasted syllables, no extra breaths. Just facts.Concluida
HIS ADDICTION
VIOLENCE,VERY MATURE CONTENT 18+ Bella - " Please leave me sir i am a very simple girl, i am not your type neither i am of your use, you will get any girl i be..... Michael - "don't push me baby, it will go in vein" - i opened the drawer simultaneously grabbing her hands and pulled a handcuff set from it. I cuffed her hands each side on the bedpost. Bella - "what why are you caging me .... Aahh what are you doing leave me for god sake... " - i started crying badly and was flinching whenever he tried to touch me. Michael - "now look at yourself, you look so beautiful tied up , in a helpless state, I CAN DO ANYTHING I WANT, ANYWHERE I WANT WITH YOU" nowadays you will observe people with no obsession or no possessiveness for their lover or partner which is quite boring. Being possessive and obsessed with your partner adds more power and seriousness in the essence of love and this quote signifies my thought perfectly that "everything is fair in love and war". ENJOY the story of two people very opposite to each other where Michael Romano is ruthless and a cruel king of powerful Mafia Empire who have only seen gore and bloodshed in his life, he inflicts pain in a sense where you cant even imagine. On the other side a girl Bella Mathews with a very simple yet difficult lifestyle where she tries to earn for her family with handwork and wisdom. things will take turn when she will be kidnapped and ruined in the clutches of Michael.Concluida
Drain My Soul
- CONTENTS MATURE! 18+ scenes - Celeste believed nothing more than being a normal girl, in a normal street, in a normal world but nothing can just be normal? Right? Well this idea of a normal life, stops for Celeste and she goes back to her parents home town, where she is forced by law to a mating ball and is convinced she is something she is not.... But when she meets a blue eyed handsome man that is not who he seems, she is intrigued and is ready to explore. Follow Celeste on her journey to find out who she really is, discover the world she believes is insane and will these blue eyes help her? ------ "I effect you as much as you effect me and it pains me to see my mate with another" he whispers in my ear. I gulp deeply and I want to drop to my knees, to plead that my life is in his hands. Although I gulp and shake my head. "Fine, but I'll be there and I'll be watching!" He whispers in hush tones. I gulp and feel the pain again in my chest. His blue eyes come back to my own and I don't even give him a smirk. He lets go of my jaw and with in a flash I see him leave. The thought in my mind is that my mate is fucking hot and I don't know how long I can deny that for or deny the inseparable connection between us. ---- A/N Just a quick note to say that this book indeed does need heavy editing and as a Co-writer I find this story not in my favour. I know the main character Celeste may come across as mean and as a comment mentioned 'annoying' this book will go through editing. But I'd you choose to still read then fantastic! It's our first 'mate' and 'vampire' book so please be kind and all comments will be taken into consideration. Thank you L&R xConcluida

Madeline Curtis, a runaway from small town in Washington, finds herself in the streets of Hollywood looking for a place to stay when she encounters a strange hooded man. In less than a second poor Madeline's entire life was flipped upside down and she is determined to find the monster that caused it all. ----------------------------- Maybe it was the way all of their hearts beat in synchronization or the bulging veins that popped out of their hands as they did their work. Somehow, some way, without the normal supervision and the taste of human blood I'd gotten just an hour ago, I broke my streak of leaving the humans to rest freely, and I killed them all. "Madeline." I announced to the crowd, at least they'd know the name to their killer when I pierced my teeth into their bodies, their bodies running cold due to the lack of blood. "Maddy?" A sadly familiar voice said from the front door. When I didn't respond he stepped closer and used his thumb to tilt my head back to look at him. I couldn't make out if it was disappointment or sadness when he looked at the remains of the human boy lying in front of me, no chance of life inside of him. "Oh, Madeline." he sighed. ----------------------------- !

❝𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚.❞ Olivia groaned and crossed her arms, standing her ground. "Don't tell me what to do. You're not my dad." Amusement filled Santino's gaze as he stood up, abandoning the papers he desperately needed to read and sign. Yet, all that was forgotten as her bewitching lips protruded. "I might not be your dad but," a midnight lock of hair was pinned behind her ear, "I can be your papi." Shuddering, her body drew closer to him, betraying her mind. "You're sick." Taking the nape of her neck, Santino leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear. "Yet you still dream about my touch, don't you, principessa?" ❦ When Santino Adriano discovers that the Bratva has betrayed their neutrality by secretly working with his family's enemies, he's determined to send a brutal message that cannot be ignored. His target? The Bratva kingpin's sister, Olivia Morozov-a sheltered girl who knows little to nothing about the dark underworld her family controls, having been shielded from the darker truths of her family's empire her entire life. Fresh out of boarding school and blissfully oblivious to the power struggle boiling beneath her feet, Olivia is suddenly whisked away from everything she's ever known and thrust into a world where loyalty is weaponised and power is the ultimate prize. As secrets and long-buried lies unravel around her, she realises she's caught in a game where the unrelenting fight for power holds more value than human lives-including her own. Santino is cold, calculating, and relentless - everything Olivia should fear. Yet, she is intrigued by by his deadly nature. The line between fear and attraction is thin, and like a moth to a flame, she seeks him out, unafraid of the burn it may cause. She's never known anyone like him-an older, dangerous man who makes her question everything she thought she knew about desire. Olivia just didn't expect her captor to be so handsome.Concluida
