Markis Stineli was a man of intelligence. 

Although it was, he would admit, unusual for a man of his profession - enough so that many thought he was incapable of his line of work - Markis still believed in a great deal of things.

Most importantly, he believed in things that were not normally associated with people in his line of work. Honesty. Mortality. Justice. 

As someone of his stature, he even believed in people. He believed everyone had the ability to be kind even if it had to be tortured from them.

Markis was a man of intelligence.

And he was used to the screams.

___
The prohibition era was full of a darkening wonder. Criminals and mobsters rule the streets, the protection fees high, and the police were bought out by the mafia. As Autumn Lee tackles her sanity with becoming the next Boss, she finds herself in the confusing and heated company of Markis Stineli. Eventually, she'll have to realize that sometimes being violent can often lead to peace.

A stripper. An Italian mafia boss. And an unexpected pregnancy. Andrea Capaldi was a selfless woman who would do anything to help her family when they needed it. When her fathers restaurant started to fall apart after giving away almost all of his earnings to low life gangsters, Andrea knew she had to do something before their family restaurant could be foreclosed on. Desperate times call for desperate measures and she took a job at a strip club where she knew she could make fast and easy money. But what Andrea didn't expect to happen was to fall pregnant by a man she was giving a private dance to. The clubs number one rule was to never go home with the client because it would only lead to two things: obtaining and STD or getting pregnant. Matteo Salvatore was a man who people feared and respected. After taking over his fathers legacy he destroyed cities and built empires in his name so everyone knew that he was the godfather of power and status. He cared for no one and he wanted to keep it that way until that one unexpected night. Everything he believed in was thrown out the window and all he could think about was claiming her as his. And once he found out she was carrying his child the need grew stronger until he finally found the leverage he needed to forcefully make her his. It wasn't going to be easy but he always loved a challenge. ... Warning: When I first started this book I had no intention of having mature themes. I had no intention of putting in smut until the end. So don't expect this book to have intense mature scenes. But there is towards the end. You will also notice the use of these * that are for censored words. Like I said at the time I didn't mark my book off as mature yet so I didn't want to get flagged. It remained that way throughout the whole book just to keep it consistent. Just to emphasize ‼️LITTLE TO NO SMUT‼️

"But you're scared." He finished, running his fingers down her neck and to her collar bone, following the chain of her necklace, making her shiver, "So responsive." He murmured to himself. "Yes." She whispered, lips parted, eyes locked with his. She felt dirty for letting him be so close to her and touch her in a way that seemed so foreign and inappropriate- Yet exhilarating... "Maybe scared isn't the right word." His deep baritone voice rumbled, his fingers setting her skin on fire as he reached the opening of her top, the only thing dividing them, "Maybe, confused? Intimidated? But you're not scared of me, right, pet?" "I- I don't know." She answered, her heart pounding against her ribcage, making her shake nervously. "You're scared of this-" his hand lifted back up to circle around her throat and he applied slight pressure, but nowhere near enough to hinder her ability to breathe, "or this." He bent down so she could feel his hot breath skim across her cheek making her face flush. His rough lips, ran across the base of her jaw until he reached her ear, "But you're not scared of me." ~•~•~ 19-year-old Vera Reed is out on her own for the first time, leaving small town Tabor, Iowa for Lincoln, Nebraska to attend college at UNL in her old red Subaru.

*Heighest ranking 26th in Love, 1st in General Fiction, and 1st in Tragedy, as well as no#1 in mystery* When you're the most feared and powerful Italian Mafia Boss, you cannot have the world know of your existence or of any personal ties you may have. Otherwise bad things tend to happen, and this man learned that lesson the hard way. Now, he refuses to allow anyone close to him, much less get anywhere past his cold exterior. Their story wasn't meant to begin like it did. They weren't meant to meet the way they did. After all, she was only a university student and he was a ghost. Nonexistent, a rumor, a story you told your children at night. But when the most unforeseen circumstances cause their paths to cross, not once, not twice, but thrice--an encounter that ends with the vow of discretion and avoidance. They have no choice but to acknowledge they have to stay away before one of them gets hurt. Which is exactly what happens. This causes another encounter between the two, but this time with a promise of safety and security, because he owes her his life. *** "I say what I mean, and I do what I say." He assured in a low rumbling voice that had her transported back to older times. "And when I say I will keep you safe, believe me, that not even a hair on your head will be touched."
