Roman Sionis has not been having a good year. He lost the Bertinelli Diamond to Harley Quinn and her damned Birds of Prey. Ever since he has been struggling to maintain his image as the Newest Godfather of Gotham's Underbelly.

Lauren Owens has been having a really good year. She has her dream job, in dream apartment, in her dream city. What more could the young archaeologist ask for? All that seems to be missing is the perfect man.

When Lauren walks into the Black Mask Club one night looking to wind down after a long day, she immediately grabs the attention of Roman. What sort of dangerous whirlwind romance will the two find themselves in? Will they last? Or will Roman's psychopathic and narcissistic tendencies get the best of him and scare her off?

Noah (5th Street series) by elizabethreyes__
46 parts Complete Mature
Veronica Cruz has been through hell and back. After disconnecting with the world two years ago to be at the side of her dying mother, she's left alone, unemployed, overweight, and feeling a decade older than her twenty-eight years. When her best friend coaxes her into joining the local gym to ditch her depression and rejuvenate her life, she meets Noah. Assigned to help Veronica lose weight, Noah is everything she expected a young trainer to be-perfectly chiseled, supportive and motivating. Add to that, he's incredibly sexy. He's everything she's ever looked for in a man. What she least expected was for him to fall for her, but he has. There's just one glaring problem: Noah is eight years younger. Noah Quintanilla has his eye on a boxing title-someday. Down for a few months with an injury, his maintenance-boy pay at 5th Street Gym won't cut it. He's finally given the opportunity to train. The catch? His trainee is an out-of-shape woman with a free week pass. Taking on the challenge, Noah stumbles into one of the closest friendships he's ever known, and before he knows it, he's in love. But Veronica's not having it-the age difference is too much. Their platonic relationship means having to watch her date other men-something that would make him crazy. Believing he's the man for her, Noah sets out to prove that age is but an illusion, and there's more to him than just a number.

Deviant Prince [Romano Brotherhood, #2] by mysamar
63 parts Ongoing Mature
𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐄 is pretty sure her next-door neighbor is a serial killer. What else could explain his strange antisocial behavior, creepily minimalistic apartment, and that inhumanly emotionless demeanor? Oh, and don't forget the bloodied body parts that have started showing up. It's too bad she's not scared of him. Or his unveiled threats on her life. But an emotionally scarred gangster on the run - riding the brink of insanity and followed by a host of trouble - is a lot more than she could've bargained for. 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐎 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐎 is beyond redemption. Capo of the Romano crime family, the sociopathic Prince of Chicago, hell wrapped in a designer suit. He exemplifies cold precision and perfect control. His job has always come easily to him for the very same reason that his name is feared widely: he's incapable of emotion. But something horrifying and sinister is beginning to happen to him. And it turns out that pesky slipping sanity is the least of his concerns. Because his new neighbor is a ray-of-sunshine wildcard dipped in beauty like he's never seen, and she won't leave him alone. Worse, he can't decide if he should kill or protect her. Massimo doesn't count on Vivienne being the first person to look at him like he's human. Or demons from his past coming back to haunt him. Much less a new threat looming on the horizon. Or love. Especially not that. ♛ Deviant Prince is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, dark mafia romance with mature content and dark themes. Read at your own discretion. [ Book 2 in the Romano Brotherhood Series ]
Something Happened... by Meher764
55 parts Complete Mature
"Please.." she couldn't say anything more. Her sobs didn't let her. Roman looked at her with an evil smile, not showing any sign of mercy. "I am not letting you run away like you did that night. Trust me, I'll make sure your life is miserable. I want you to feel the same pain as I am feeling right now." He roughly let go of her and Bailey lost control in her legs. She was about to fall but he held her by her arm leaving her dangling and spoke, "Accept your crime and rot in jail. If I see you roaming around freely in the city as if you haven't done nothing wrong, I will kill you! And destroy everyone and everything around you. Mark my words." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Name, Fame, Money, Power...... Those who have it, they still want more. The endless greed of having everything what they desire, never satisfy them. Roman Carter is not just a business mogul and a billionaire; he is a tower of success. He converted his father's business into an empire and still works hard to maintain it. His success was everything he ever wanted but he paid a price. A price which broke him inside and turned him into someone he never wanted to become; someone like his father. Bailey Adams didn't have a big bank balance or power or fame, but still her life was perfect. Her sweet mother, loving boyfriend and a little bakery business were enough to make her life complete. She could live this life forever and would do anything for those who she loves. But life isn't that fair or so easy. Bailey was never a player in the game of power and money but somehow her life got trapped in this web. She became a part of Roman's life; an unwanted part, which he wanted to remove and forget. He hates her, he wants to hurt her, and he wants her to feel the same pain he felt because SOMETHING HAPPENED, that changed their lives forever. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Something Happened~ A Love Story.........
