Athena Grace O'Mara is just but a simple girl who has already been through so much at a young age. She tries to look for peace and happiness after losing her father, and before she has the time to recover, she is faced with yet another heartbreaking reality when she loses her mother. All alone with her friends to comfort her, she is now with her younger brother and has to face the world all by herself. 

Not once did she ever imagine that she'd be spotted by the most relentless mafia leader in the country. After everything that has happened in her life, she has to face her greatest fear. 'Him'.

She is taken on a rollercoaster of emotions. She has to come to terms with not only herself but with her new reality and accept what it has brought with it. Danger, fear, loneliness and torment.

Little does she know that the heartless monster she sees has a soft spot, for her alone, and would never harm her. 

What happens when she meets his; power hungry, respect demanding, control driven, inhumane side? And is forced to live with him for her own protection. His ways move her in more ways than she can fathom. Can she live with those feelings, knowing who he is? 

Will she ever get rid of her fear of him and give him a chance? 

Can she really take his hand and step into his chaotic world, full of danger, and sleepless nights? He says he can protect her, can he really?

Can she see past his demons and learn to comfort him and accept the life of crime he has chosen? 

Can she say what her heart only dreams of shouting out, or will she never get the chance? 

Or will this prove to be a love never meant to be?All Rights Reserved

The Day You Were Mine by penelopemelendes17gm

Mia I fell hard and fast, just like any teenager does at that age. The second I saw him, I knew my life wouldn't be the same. Everyone told me not to do it, to give up this teenage fantasy, but how could I? Every bone in my body belonged to him before he even put a finger on me. It had been fourteen years since the last time I'd seen him, and I was still his. But the Liam in front of me was different. He'd changed; I'd changed. After all the hurt, can I really just put everything aside to start again? Liam I knew she was mine; her eyes gave her away. Seeing Mia again after fourteen years was like coming back to life, and no matter how much she wanted to stay away from me, I wasn't going to stay away from her. Letting her go was the hardest decision I have ever made, and I'm never doing that again. Yes, I'm no longer the suppressed boy she met long ago. I'm much more important now. A lot has happened in the past few years, so when an opportunity to become the powerful man I am today presented itself, I didn't think twice to take it. This life will now be Mia's, too. I only hope she can still love me as the mafia boss I have become.

A Surprise Baby in the CEO's Arms by Kyo-Wilder

When Elara was ten, her family collapsed and she was quietly folded into Jonas's world as his supposed "little sister." To her, Jonas was more than a guardian; he was first love, the secret she kept beneath her ribs. She watched him move through life with a confidence she could only admire from afar, learning to treasure small mercies as if they were miracles. At twenty, everything broke. One drunken night Jonas kissed her-an impulsive, confusing violation that read like permission and betrayal all at once. By morning his engagement was announced and by midnight he'd arranged for her to leave the country. He cut contact with the kind of finality that felt like erasure. Six years later, Elara returns-not to beg, but to reclaim the life she's built for her daughter, Lila. She has worked hard, learned to be fiercely self-reliant, and guarded the truth about Lila's father. Running into Jonas at the company where fate plants them both detonates the fragile order they each maintain. He sees the child and demands, stunned and raw, "Give me a plausible explanation-whose child is this?" That question upends them both. For Elara, Lila is survival and dignity. For Jonas, the child is a scandal that could shatter family reputation and the neat certainties he's lived by. This is a slow-burn second-chance romance about motherhood, pride, and whether two people shaped by the same past can find a new future without losing themselves.

Destined Future ✓ by ArinaMarine_writes

DISCLAIMER THIS BOOK IS NOT A SLOWBURN, WROTE THIS A YEAR AGO AND IT NEEDS EDITING. 𝐀 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐆𝐄 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐒 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐔𝐍𝐀𝐕𝐎𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 She wanted love. He wanted power. Aaliyah is forced to marry someone who she hasn't yet met, unwilling and disgusted at the thought she does everything in her power to get out of this future and stay with her boyfriend Zane, but her father makes sure she cannot avoid her fate. Killian Knight was nothing but a cruel, ruthless man who didn't care for anyone's life. When he found out he was marrying Aaliyah, he didn't fight it and only did it to become don. She was nothing but a convenience to him and to her, he was her downfall. Nothing could stop this from happening, the marriage and what happens in the future will be unstoppable. She will try to run, and he will chase. A destined future for the two. Killian will do anything to become leader of the Italian mafia, and Aaliyah will do anything to run from the killer that is Killian. But soon, love is in the air and both of them try to deny it, try to run away from their feelings and refuse to come to terms with it. But fate has other plans for these two, unavoidable and inescapable fate. Quote : You are like a rose, so beautifully tempting but the second I came within your space, I was pricked by your sharp, cruel thorns. You drowned me in your toxins, like you were a drink of poison that I kept drinking even when my own heart couldn't take it. You were an ocean that sank me in sorrows. Like the sun, you burned me and left unhealed wounds on my skin, blinding me with your beauty just to leave me reduced to burnt ashes.

Clan of the Damned by vanillacoffeewrites

Saar has been a part of the Beaumont family ever since they took her in after her parents' death when she was just five years old. Growing up, she never felt like she fully belonged, especially because of the Beaumonts' world that consisted of power, influence, and the ever present violence. What happens when the 'lost' eldest son of the family finally decides to show up? Will he and Saar get along? Will Saar find out the truth about her parents and find her place in the world of intrigues and violence she was forcefully thrown into? She had spent two years convincing herself that if she was never to see him again, she would be okay. It was easier than the howling hope, confused longing and pondering the endless what ifs. Easier than admitting to herself the odd frequency at which he appeared in her thoughts. It was easier to push it all away. Her entire life, he had been a gust of smoke, a constant in her life but never truly there. A myth. Two years ago, when he came back like an unexpected storm, the illusion of him was suddenly becoming real, taking a form. But it had vanished just as quickly as it came with him gone again, leaving her even emptier and more rattled than before. But now, standing there, his eyes wandered all over her as if checking for all the things he remembered, all the things that stayed the same and those that changed. Drinking her in just like she was desperate to take in all of him, afraid he would disappear in a blink if she didn't.

Melancholy by ruani_writes

She hated them. They loved her with everything in them. The universe truly has a sick way of telling you it's there, doesn't it? From being kidnapped to being abused, that was all Arabella saw in life. It was all she ever knew. They tell you to keep fighting but sometimes you realize... you were just a child. Now she's built herself up using her pain as the next step to her strength. She's learnt how to strive forward even as her past haunts her mind crawling up her back every passing second. That is until the first 7 people who only ever brought her pain find their way back into her life. She has no way to let go of her past when they come right back to her. The world showed her no mercy in it's ways so why should she. ~~~ I let out a small sigh wanting more of this. I wanted to be held like this whenever I felt broken. Feel the way he puts me back together in his arms. It ate at my heart and I could have sworn I felt a feathery kiss on my head. It was as if he could hear my thoughts and was kissing them away for me. Slowly he lets one hand go, the other staying around me as he brings my chin up to him gently wiping my last tears as more fill my eyes. He sees this and his eyes look... crumbled. If you feel this way then why can't you choose me, Dominic. I shake my head from his hands wishing to step back but he pulls me back to him a pain filled groan leaving him. "Just one more minute. Please." His body shook and I brought him closer, feeling our pain become one. Our hurricanes of minds pull away even for the smallest time letting us stand together as one in each other's embrace. He was it for me. But I wasn't his.

ASHES OF US by _noahhwrites16

"He was my best friend, my safe place... until he became the reason I stopped believing in forever." Aries never thought she'd return to the world that stole everything from her. Not after the night her life shattered. Not after the boy she trusted turned into a name she no longer said out loud. Eight years later, she walks back into the shadows - strong, cold, and untouchable. She came for a deal with a faceless mafia leader What she didn't expect... was him. Lucian Knight. The boy who once swore to protect her. Now a man the underworld fears. The man she's here to work with. The man she was told... betrayed her. She wants answers. He wants her back. But in a world full of lies, guns, and power - the truth might be the most dangerous weapon of all. Because some ashes don't scatter with the wind. Some stay buried - waiting to burn again.

Always Down by Lokiiiiz

My body was pressed against his hard slack and colliding underneath the agonizing tension, he lowered his mouth to mine and his tongue darted to run across my bottom lip. My core throbbed under his touch and my thighs clenched hard when he thrusted his hard on against my body. He then leaned to kiss me, long and angered, forcing for the tears beneath my closed lids to burn like acid. His teeth nicked my bottom lip and a cry of pain pushed through my throat. My nails clawed his forearms in retaliation but that never stopped his assault on my lips. He showed me how fucking vulnerable my body was beneath him and his words from the other night pricked my conscience. I assembled my guts and pushed his body back. I tried to step past him but he held my upper arm and pulled me back against the ropes. "Let go of me, Hades." My voice wavered. He stared down at me for a brief moment before releasing his hold and backed away. "Gladly." Hades D'amiano- vain, narcissistic and a lethal weapon. Mia Faye- seductive, assertive and a fatale lie. Secrets, love and betrayal to unfold
