Thank you for your kind and thoughtful words, but I'd rather choke than dance. Especially with you.
I gave him the courtesy and wanted to leave, but he held my wrist and turned me around again. With his other hand laying on my lower back, he pressed me against his strong body.
"You are holding me too tight," I breathed.
"You wanted to be choked. You said it yourself."
"Not by you."
Akiko Anne Ferrings, daughter of the not so honourable Earl of Ferrings and a Japanese courtesan, was raised in an orphanage near London. Her father took her in as a companion for his legitimate child Delilah when she was sixteen. Kiki wants nothing more in this world than to dance and help the children and their rundown place she used to call her home. Her father, however, has other plans. Disaster struck when her sister get's ill and she has to leave her mansion and privileges behind. But will this be the start of a life fully lived? Or will it end in disaster?
Not only does Akiko have to stand against retarded values of race and what it means truly call something home, but she also has to fight against her inner demons. And then there is the soon to be King and his brother, whom she despises but can't stop thinking about.
Can she truly become happy and find love in this aristocratic society?

More Than a Deal
Sienna Carter had her life planned out-a quiet job as a librarian, a cozy apartment, and a loving boyfriend, Ethan, who talked about marriage and a future filled with stability. She was content, safe, and far removed from the world of crime and violence. But everything shatters when her father-a struggling businessman-falls into massive debt with the Romano crime family. With no way to pay, the debt collectors don't take money; they take loyalty. The solution? A contract marriage between Sienna and the powerful, ruthless mafia boss, Dante Romano. Dante has built his empire on control and strategy. This marriage isn't about love-it's about power, influence, and making sure his enemies know that loyalty to him comes before all else. He expects obedience, not defiance. But Sienna is unlike anyone he's ever met. She refuses to bow to his world, to the dark underbelly of crime she's been forced into. And, most of all, she refuses to forget Ethan-the man she was supposed to spend forever with. At first, Sienna resents Dante, clinging to memories of the life she lost. But as time passes, the lines blur. She starts to see beyond the ruthless exterior-the man who reads poetry in secret, who carries the weight of an empire on his shoulders, and who, despite his power, seems just as trapped as she is. Ethan fights to get her back, but the more she learns about Dante, the harder it becomes to ignore the unexpected pull between them. Is her heart betraying her? Or was love never as simple as she once believed? In a world where love is a liability and loyalty is life or death, Sienna must choose: Hold on to the man who once promised her forever or risk everything for the one she never expected to love.

Black & White (english version)
"The world isn't just black and white" That's a nice statement, but since I got stucked here I think exactly that way: either you fight and survive, or you give up and die; there's no way to sugarcoat it. And I kept thinking that way....until I met him. P.N. The setting and the mood of the fan fiction stay true to the tv series, I only changed a few details to give a sense to my story (like the order of the Games and the partecipants or the add of new Games), but all the events that happens in the series happens here as well (so, to be clear, don't hope to see someone come back from the dead, etc). I originally wrote it in italian, that's why it's called English Version :) ENJOY THE READING!Completa
Always Broken (Book 1 and 2)
"Stop crying," he growled, gripping my chin in his hand. When I did not stop crying, he took his teeth and bit my neck hard, making a mark on me. I whimpered as I wiped my tears, keeping my mouth sealed. I wanted to scream but once again, I did not want to make a scene. I had to behave even though he treated me wrong because paparazzi followed us everywhere, and I had to give off that happy couple appearance. If I were to do something wrong, it would be all over social media and the news for about an entire week. Thinking about this detail, I obeyed his orders. "Good girl," he soothed, as though I was a dog, and he kissed the bite mark he left on my neck. *** Summary: Jackie Simmons is the daughter of a famous pianist and businessman.
