Join or die.

That is the phrase that runs New America. After a failed presidency, the US was left to the hands of the most ruthless gangs and mobs who saw an opportunity and took it. State lines were blurred, mob-cities were created, and territories were established. 

Forget everything you thought you knew. Anarchy rules here--in order to survive, you have to climb your way to the top. 

Let's hope you don't die along the way.
-----
Dalia would do anything to go back to way things were.

When she was safe, loved, and cherished within the most powerful mob on the East Coast. When she untouchable, and when her partner Cyrus Shadows would kill anything and anyone that looked at her the wrong way.

But things have changed irreversibly, and she's been on the run for three years. When her past catches up to her, she has to make the decision once again. Face the ones she's betrayed beyond repair, or run until she's killed.

'For The Mafia' Series - Book 1 of 3! ~~~ "Down on your knees." He lets go of my hair and pushes my shoulders down roughly, before unbuttoning and shrugging off his shirt. I kneel in front of him and instantly unbuckle his belt and unzip his black pants. He watches me eagerly from above, keeping his hands to his side, letting me lead. "Are you jealous when I flirt with those men for information?" I bat my eyes up at him innocently as I pull his pants down to his knees. His face hardens as he considers my question. "I don't like your hands on them." He grumbles and I smirk. I already knew the answer. "I do it for you, Enzo." I remind him as I move my mouth closer to him. "Only me." He growls as he pulls my head forward, closing the space between us. ~~~ When a dangerous mafia leader meets this particular stripper, he learns she is anything but. Both equally ruthless and thirsting for power, he hires her as his lethal interrogator and assassin, however she quickly becomes more when neither can resist each other. But can she learn how to truly care for one of the men she was taught to use? Can he control his jealousy long enough to take advantage of her tricks?

His Ruthless Temptation by Plumavenetta
31 parts Complete Mature
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.
