Burn Me Softly
Some flames burn quietly... until they don't. Aurora Bellini is the picture of innocence. Quiet. Kind. A law student with a soft heart and a tragic past. When a violent attack threatens her safety, she's placed under the protection of the Vitti family - Italy's most feared crime syndicate. More specifically, under the cold, watchful eye of their heir: Angelo Vitti. Angelo doesn't want her there. Too sweet. Too soft. Too breakable. But there's something about her that unsettles him. Her gentle smile, her quiet strength - it seeps past the walls he's spent years building. He tells himself she doesn't belong in his world. He tells himself to stay away. But he watches her anyway. Protects her anyway. And slowly, against his better judgment - he starts to burn for her. With war simmering between the Italian and Russian mafias, every secret is dangerous. Every glance, every touch, every whisper in the dark... it all matters. Because nothing is ever what it seems. And sometimes the softest things burn the most.Complete

'For The Mafia' Series - Book 1 of 3! ~~~ "Down on your knees." He lets go of my hair and pushes my shoulders down roughly, before unbuttoning and shrugging off his shirt. I kneel in front of him and instantly unbuckle his belt and unzip his black pants. He watches me eagerly from above, keeping his hands to his side, letting me lead. "Are you jealous when I flirt with those men for information?" I bat my eyes up at him innocently as I pull his pants down to his knees. His face hardens as he considers my question. "I don't like your hands on them." He grumbles and I smirk. I already knew the answer. "I do it for you, Enzo." I remind him as I move my mouth closer to him. "Only me." He growls as he pulls my head forward, closing the space between us. ~~~ When a dangerous mafia leader meets this particular stripper, he learns she is anything but. Both equally ruthless and thirsting for power, he hires her as his lethal interrogator and assassin, however she quickly becomes more when neither can resist each other. But can she learn how to truly care for one of the men she was taught to use? Can he control his jealousy long enough to take advantage of her tricks?

Stuck In The Devil's Melody
!TW! This story contains themes of abuse, trauma, violence, and other mature/dark content. Reader discretion is advised. Warnings will be listed at the start of each chapter if needed. Thirteen-year-old Noah Russo is an arrogant, reckless idiot with a home life straight out of a nightmare. His father, the all-powerful mafia boss with a seriously fucked-up head, seems destined to drag him into chaos sooner or later. But Noah's problems get a whole lot weirder when he meets Dark Macaluso, the sassy, egotistical 15-year-old prince of Hell and heir to the throne. To Dark, Noah is nothing more than an annoying little human, too weak to be of any use. But Noah? He's already pathetically obsessed, like a lost puppy waiting for his master to come home. Years of insults, knife-throwing, and mutual loathing somehow turn into something more, something eerily close to love. Just when things seem almost perfect, Noah's life spirals into disaster, cutting their story short. But death isn't the end. When fate drags Noah back into the demon world, old sparks reignite, grudges resurface, and they're forced to wonder-how the hell is this shit-show going to play out? *** This is my first story btw

The two meet in their freshmen year, with little in common but their social circles. Violet spends her days numb - hiding from the pain in any way she can. Rio runs from his. He's out from dawn to dusk, if not on the court, then scrounging up money for food or finding somewhere to sleep other than his car. What divides them most... is hope. Rio has it.
