Disclaimer ⚠️ * There are certain parts of this story that are going to be rated 18+ only. I'm very sexual myself & wanted to make sure my readers felt that in my characters when reading this story. The mature content will have a warning in the beginning of the chapter, this is EXTREMELY explicit content.* ⚠️ * There is also violence/crime in this book. If that triggers or makes you uncomfortable please don't read it, there are entirely too many chapters where that is mentioned or emphasized on. It's a piece of my work. * Cover by @emmel_concepts 📸 Rankings & Progress • #1 #BlackRomance ~ 6/20/21 • #1 #LoveScene ~ 7/2/21 • #1 #Romance ~ 5/19/22 • #1 #Melanin ~ 4/9/23 • Began publishing on 5/30/21 I own all copyrights to my writing.

Under My Skin by FantasyByGioVanna
26 parts Complete Mature
Single after three years, Lucia Giordano moves back in with her parents. To satisfy her nosy aunt, Lucia agrees to meet Enzo Vitale, her aunt's sexy new neighbor, for coffee. Enzo takes Lucia's breath away and her entire world turns on its head. Not long after she realizes there is more to Enzo than he let on. Enzo's familial connections threaten Lucia's safety. As she fights her undeniable attraction to Enzo, Lucia's haphephobia takes center stage in her life. However, that's not all that stands between Lucia and her survival. Her forgotten childhood could reveal that she is more involved in Enzo's dangerous world than she ever imagined. ❌⭕️❌⭕️ Trigger warning: This book contains graphic violence, gore, murder, sexual themes, physical, verbal, and emotional abuse, dark narrative, self-harm, and psychological trauma. Although a lot of inspiration was taken from my life (surprising?), this story and all characters depicted are fictional. I do suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Those themes were inspired by my experiences. ❌⭕️❌⭕️ This book started as practice and a creative outlet, which is why the plot is... interesting. My goals for this challenge are listed below, let me know if I nailed them! Goals: ✔️ 50,000 words (2,000 - 2,500 per chapter) ✔️ Dabble in psychological themes ✔️ Bring a dark twist to the Mafia Romance genre ✔️ Limit the use of profanities (which this genre is known for :P) ✔️ Finish my first novel
