[This story is complete and being edited.]

Armed racing is Atropellado's deadliest and most profitable sport. And wherever there is profit in Atro, there is crime.

Gervassio Blaze has left his most prized possession - ownership of the armed racing franchise - to none other than his second in command, and adopted protege: Lancet Steel. 

Lancet Steel, an armed racing champion retired from the circuits too soon, is finding that being saddled with his former boss' responsibilities and baggage is no cakewalk, especially with baggage of his own. With the beasts closing in on the Blaze family from all sides, Lancet must maintain the ever delicate balance between loyalty to the business, and loyalty to himself.

Rose Gloxinia has a legacy to re-build after her father's passing. With Gervassio Blaze seemingly off the board, the rival crime heiress knows a golden opportunity when she sees one. Unfortunately for her, with the deeds to armed racing being in Steel's hands, it's as good as stuffing them into a rocket and shooting them into the sun. Will a past romantic rendezvous between her and Steel, along with  mutual interests, be enough to solidify her family's future, or will it bring her family to ruin?

Will two monsters find solace in each other's arms or will they kill each other? ---------------------------- "I don't recall signing up for strip poker." She replied. Her full lips frowned softly but her eyes were filled with amusement. She knew she couldn't beat me, not at this game. "Are you quitting? Are you a quitter?" I mocked getting under her skin. Her lips twitched before she pursed them tightly. The blues of her eyes deepened and she threw me a dangerous smirk. She shuffled and pulled off one of her sandals. Fuck. So we're doing this the long way. She raised it in the air, dangling it off her finger before tossing it aside. She raised a brow at me, she challenged me. I knew I got under her skin.

Deviant Prince [Romano Brotherhood, #2] by mysamar
63 parts Ongoing Mature
𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐄 is pretty sure her next-door neighbor is a serial killer. What else could explain his strange antisocial behavior, creepily minimalistic apartment, and that inhumanly emotionless demeanor? Oh, and don't forget the bloodied body parts that have started showing up. It's too bad she's not scared of him. Or his unveiled threats on her life. But an emotionally scarred gangster on the run - riding the brink of insanity and followed by a host of trouble - is a lot more than she could've bargained for. 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐎 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐎 is beyond redemption. Capo of the Romano crime family, the sociopathic Prince of Chicago, hell wrapped in a designer suit. He exemplifies cold precision and perfect control. His job has always come easily to him for the very same reason that his name is feared widely: he's incapable of emotion. But something horrifying and sinister is beginning to happen to him. And it turns out that pesky slipping sanity is the least of his concerns. Because his new neighbor is a ray-of-sunshine wildcard dipped in beauty like he's never seen, and she won't leave him alone. Worse, he can't decide if he should kill or protect her. Massimo doesn't count on Vivienne being the first person to look at him like he's human. Or demons from his past coming back to haunt him. Much less a new threat looming on the horizon. Or love. Especially not that. ♛ Deviant Prince is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, dark mafia romance with mature content and dark themes. Read at your own discretion. [ Book 2 in the Romano Brotherhood Series ]
