"If there's anything I'm sure of without a single doubt, it's the fact that I have to rid the likes of you of of this world. You're too disgusting!"
*****
All it took was a few minutes for Shanniah's world to crumble. The night that her family was massacred in their own mansion.
Because of that night, she grew up to become what nobody would ever want in a breathtaking beauty. The light in her was consumed by darkness.
The anger in her, the grief in her heart, and the emptiness she felt inside became her driving force. She was going to do anything and everything it took to bring down the people who wronged her. If she was to go down, she was going to make sure to drag them along with her.
***
Everything was going according to plan until Regan Gordon barged in. He was proving to be a stumbling block on her path, but she would do anything to push it aside and out of her way.
Regan on the other hand had it all, the only problem in his life was Judith. A forced girlfriend bestowed on him by his father. But, the moment Shanniah came along he saw the motivation to finally get rid of his problem for good. That new mysterious woman was going to be his, no matter what.

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. This book was immaculate. I could NOT put it down at all. Every chapter was AMAZING, the writing is shakespears work and each chapter made me laugh, smile, cry so much and this whole thing was a rollercoaster of emotions." -@Sunfloweraate8Complete

Blades and Secrets
Nicole Rivers was raised in a world where emotions were weaknesses to be cut out. Trained from her teenage years by a secret syndicate known as The Veil, she became one of their most efficient assassins - silent, ruthless, and invisible. She never questioned an order, never hesitated. Her reputation was built on precision and detachment.But even perfect killers crave something human - something real. She just never thought it would come in the form of a spy sent to stop her. Ava Carter lived in the realm of deception. A top agent for the Intelligence Bureau, she was trained to manipulate, seduce, and extract secrets without leaving a trace. Her missions were clean, her emotions calculated - until Nicole appeared on her radar. Their first encounter was chaos: bullets, smoke, and a single shared look that neither could shake. What began as a mission turned into a collision - two women on opposite sides, bound by orders but drawn by something neither could explain. Nicole was supposed to kill Ava. Ava was supposed to capture Nicole. Instead, they found themselves working together when both agencies turned against them after a botched operation that revealed truths neither was meant to uncover. Now fugitives, they move through cities under false names - partners in survival, but more than that in the spaces between. There's a tension in every glance, a heartbeat in every argument, a spark every time their hands brush while cleaning their weapons or patching each other's wounds. Nicole tells herself she can't afford to care. Ava swears she won't fall for someone who kills for a living. But in a world built on lies, the only thing that feels real is each other - and that's what makes it dangerous. Because love, for people like them, isn't salvation. It's a weakness that could get them both killed.
