Under His Protection by BunnyMun

Dante Ricci has built an empire on fear, loyalty, and ruthless power. As the head of one of the most dangerous mafia families, his life is constantly in danger, surrounded by enemies who would love nothing more than to see him fall. After a series of betrayals leaves him vulnerable, Dante hires a new personal bodyguard: Leo Moretti, a former military officer with a cold, unflinching demeanor and an unshakeable sense of duty. Leo, however, is more than just another guard. His quiet strength and mysterious past intrigue Dante in ways he's never experienced. Despite the dangers of his world, Dante finds himself drawn to Leo's steady presence-forcing him to confront feelings he thought he had buried long ago. But as enemies close in and betrayals threaten to destroy everything Dante has built, the lines between duty, loyalty, and desire begin to blur. Dante and Leo's bond grows deeper, but in a world where vulnerability can be fatal, their connection could cost them both their lives. In Under His Protection, a forbidden romance unfolds in the shadows of mafia warfare, where danger and passion intertwine in a story of loyalty, love, and survival. 🔥One smut scene in this story with a warning. ⚠️This story is under editing. #23 in smutscene (10/12/24)

White Lies (Book 1) by help-me-think-of-one

Jesabel is a liar. When her only friend mysteriously disappears, she does what comes naturally. She keeps her truth from the world. Without warning, she is thrown into a web of lies far more dangerous and lethal than anything she could imagine. With an annoyingly charming boy by her side, can she unravel what she refuses to tell - the truth? WHITE LIES HAS BEEN REVISED, EDITED AND REWORKED! Happy late new year, friends! I'd like to take this opportunity to announce that White Lies, a story that has been up and running on Wattpad since 2011, has been re-written and revised for the coming decade. What does this mean? This entails the same characters you know and love, with better flow, better writing, more nuanced character development, more mature content, and entirely different plot lines. Jesabel's character has changed drastically since I last introduced her to the world (nearly NINE years ago! yikes!), and I wanted to make this story a more nuanced and modern take. When I had written White Lies, I had been just 14 years old. And I've done a ton of growing, learning, and unlearning over the years. This means that my characters have grown and developed with me. If you are an old friend and re-reader - welcome, and please enjoy the same old story you love with a brand new take! If you have started along this White Lies journey beginning in December and all throughout January, you might have read a half-edited and half-original version of the story. So please feel free to re-read at your leisure! I won't bite, I promise.

A love with full of uncertainty, truth and lies. A love that everyone never imagined that exist. A love that exist only on her dreams and her memories.
