Dangerous
"Sweetheart, I don't appreciate when people talk back to me." This time I succeed in keeping quiet. "You'll learn to respect me and as my property, you'll do whatever I tell you to do. Do you understand?" "What if I refuse?" Stupid mouth. He takes a few steps closer to me so I can feel his scent. He smirks and strokes my cheek before he says "Sweetheart, don't do it. You wouldn't like the consequences." ------------------------------------------------------------------ Nichole Vintali is a normal girl with a normal life who lives in a small town in Italy. But that's about to change when she's forced to marry Vincent Giovanni. Vincent Giovanni is powerful, feared, cold hearted and ruthless. He owns several well known companies and he's also the leader of the Giovanni-mafia. What will happen when these two different persons live under the same roof? Arguments, fights, failed escapes, guns and maybe love? Just maybe. This book needs a lot of editing so read at your own risk. A really cliche mafia story. Contains violence, sex and a language suited for adults. Enjoy your reading!Complete

He's ruthless to his enemies, but to those he loves, he's fiercely loyal and protective. And I am his. From the moment I entered his world, I knew I was in deep.

As I navigate the dangerous world of Luca's business dealings, I find myself caught in the crosshairs of his enemies. But Luca won't let anyone hurt me. He'll stop at nothing to keep me safe, even if it means putting his own life on the line.

His Addiction ✓
This book can be read as a standalone, however, I advise you to read His Possession first. This would help you understand the context and not spoil the first book if you choose to read it after this one. ~~~~~~~~ One year has passed since Adena Madden left Italy and her past behind. One year since she left the man she fell in love with. She lived away from everyone she once knew. She wanted to take a break. One that let her enjoy the freedom and live like a regular person. Perhaps the lavish life that Nico offered her was too much for a girl like Dena. Except her life was never going to be simple. She was the weakness of the ruthless Italian mafia don. One that had more enemies than any person on the planet. She was the one thing people could hold against him. One thing that would make him do anything in return for her safety. She thought that her relationship was left behind. Yet she never thought she could be so easily fooled into thinking no one would eventually take advantage of Nico's biggest weakness. Nico Savellini has gone through a lot in his life. He never thought that a girl would hurt him more than a bullet. After a year of her absence, he tried to move on and yet no matter how much he tried, He couldn't. But he never thought that the Russian mafia don would be smart enough to use her against him. No matter how much he should've expected it, he hoped he could protect her. His father told him he can never be with her, but can you really tell the heart what to do? And now that she's in danger, He has to get her back. Even if he has to put his life and empire at stake. ~~~~~~~~~ Trigger warnings: includes sexual content, mature language, mature/sensitive themes, scenes with weapons, violence and murder.Complete
