Tainted Desires by Raven_1326

Stella Moretti, the daughter of a powerful mafia boss, has always kept a safe distance from the dark world of her family. As the CEO of her father's legitimate company, she is known for her cold exterior and fierce demeanor. Beneath her tough facade, however, lies a heart that has been scarred by betrayal and loss. Convinced she could never love again after a devastating heartbreak in her past, Stella dedicates herself to her work, shielding her vulnerability with a veneer of indifference. James DeLuca, also a mafia heir, has embraced the darker side of his family's legacy. As the CEO of the most influential corporation, his ruthless and arrogant reputation precedes him. Hardened by a life of violence and betrayal, James has long abandoned the notion of love, viewing it as a weakness he cannot afford. When their fathers arrange a marriage between them to solidify their business empires, both Stella and James are thrust into a reluctant partnership. They clash at every turn, their mutual disdain hiding a deeper, unspoken attraction. As they navigate the treacherous waters of their forced union, they begin to see past each other's defenses. In a world where power and deception reign supreme, can two hearts tainted by their pasts find a way to heal? "Tainted Desires" is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and redemption, where the fiercest battles are fought not in boardrooms or back alleys, but within the heart.

My Brothers' Mafia Best Friend by hessaherophinelove

Avery's senior year is turned upside down when a kiss with her older brothers' best friend ignites a forbidden relationship tangled in danger, heartbreak, and family secrets that could destroy everything. *** Avery considers her life normal-or as normal as it can get with six overprotective brothers and a father out of the picture. When she starts her senior year in high school she expects nothing but that. A normal year, with her long term boyfriend and best friend. But when the unexpected happens and a kiss with her older brothers' best friend, Aiden, turns her life upside down, Avery is thrown into a life she never saw herself live, with a forbidden relationship, illegal businesses, dangers, secrets and heartbreaks. *** "Aiden..." I shake my head, eyes fixed anywhere but the gorgeous man next to me. His hand grips my chin tightly, just enough to make me avert my eyes to his. "You know you want this as much as I fucking do. I want you to be mine. I want to be the one to hold you and kiss you the one you go to whenever you're happy or fucking sad. But let it be me, let me fucking show you that it should be me." He glares, jaw tensing. ...... ©hessaherophinelove
