🔥A Love Worth burning For🔥
I wasn't looking for love. Not after Annalisa. Not after what she turned me into. On the outside, I'm still Dante De Luca, cold, controlled, from one of Rome's wealthiest families. But inside?

And Worse... she's taken. But when I'm with her... I feel like me again. Not the version everyone expects. Just Dan.. the name only she calls me.

It's the kind that burns. But some things... are worth burning for.Complete

Written in the Stars
Gasping, Vittoria's eyes flew up to find herself inches away from her husband's unreadable face. And in the next moment his lips were already on hers, kissing her as if he was staking a claim. A deep sense of irritation flooded her veins. She wouldn't put up with this ownership behavior. Not in her era, and certainly not in this place. Vittoria pushed him aside with all her might, but Maximus pulled back almost instantly. Without thinking twice, she slapped him across the face and froze in fear, now waiting for his possible retaliation. This man was capable of doing everything. She saw him carrying out his duties. To her utter surprise, Maximus seemed to be fazed by her actions, fixing his scrutinizing gaze on hers. He rubbed his left cheek, as though making sure it really happened. And then a throaty laugh escaped him like he was amused. Staring back at him in frustration, Vittoria raised her eyebrows. "That was worth it."

𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐞𝐬 [COMPLETE]
"𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐲." ~ Marriage was never for love-it was for legacy. A strategy. A performance. And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "OMYGOSH.
