Between The Flames ⚜️Il Paradosso Book Two⚜️
I dreamed of him again last night. He came to me in his riveting form, dressed in the liturgical signature black attire. His dark hair slicked back, accentuating the alluring frame of his chiseled jaw, with the figure of a sculpted deity, just as I'd remembered him. His invigorating smile was seducing me, taunting me, reigniting the sparks that had been scuffled by the lingering absence of his affinity. His daunting eyes consumed me, staring, burning with the intensity of a thousand flames. His beguiling features were enticing, drawing me in, and I was falling deeper, further into his arms until he was drifting and faded away in the shadows. Mornings after were imbued with feverish yearning that waned throughout the day, leaving me to a dreadful emptiness, a void that failed to dissipate during the two years apart. It had been the longest winter without him. All Adriana wanted was to be free. But it came with a cost, one that she hadn't expected to so deeply regret. The very life that she had once tremendously despised was now what she craved the most. But things are different after being away, for she is no longer the helpless, vulnerable girl taken nearly two years ago by the man who now holds her heart on a thread. The man who made a promise. A promise that he couldn't keep. She remembers everything from the moment she was rescued from the claws of one evil to the nightmarish events that transpired in the hands of another. As her dark past collides with the present and her love for the ruthless Mob Boss is put to a test, Adriana has to confront the demons that were responsible for her ruin and make an irreversible decision that will seal her ultimate fate.

𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐞𝐬
"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.

Her life couldn't have been any better until her sister got engaged to the man whose brother she knew better than she desired. It was only a month, she told herself. A month under the same roof and then everything would go back to normal. But as she starts to discover new secrets that seem to intertwine her life with his, she doubts she will ever be able to forget the man with whom a one-night stand seemed too good to be true. ~~~~~~~~~ NICOLAS Nicolas Salucci, the heir to the Italian Cosa Nostra was reserved and couldn't confide in anyone. It seemed like his life would continue to be as shallow and dark as his father made it to be until he met her. After overhearing a scheme which could end Nicolas's life, she demanded only a single night. One that he was tempted to give her and did. Only, he didn't think that that one night would cost him his entire heart. The woman was everything he desired and more. Yet he despised her. His father had chosen a woman for him to marry yet how could he marry someone whom he had no feelings for? As verities begin to arise, Nicolas begins to realise that maybe he only hated himself for falling for a woman he couldn't have.
