SEQUEL: When Flowers Bloom
Korina Grey was kidnapped and thrown in an ultimatum by someone she least expected. Dante is hiding something from her and this is her chance to figure out what monsters he has hidden under his bed.
She had nothing to lose. Only Dante.
She had to choose between her friendship with Dante or his life.
Dante wants Korina more than he should. He wants to protect her, but she can't seem to keep her nose out of things. Dante wants to tell her, he has to. She had the key to everything. Korina could solve every problem, answer every question, her blood could make people wither before her. All Dante had to do it tell her.
He didn't want to.
Dante didn't expect to care if she got hurt. He didn't expect to want to rip every set of eyes out of their sockets when their gaze set on her too long. He didn't know if he wanted to kiss her or leave.
Korina is strong, but what he had to tell her might corrupt her.

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.
When Fire Meets Ice.🖤
In a world built on bloodlines, power, and secrets buried deeper than loyalty, Winter Blaze has never needed anyone she couldn't control. Cold, calculated, and raised to rule in silence, she doesn't fall in love-she negotiates power. And Caspian Pierce was never meant to be part of the equation. He is defiance in human form. A man forged by violence, driven by revenge, and shaped by a past he refuses to forget. When Winter takes him, she expects obedience. What she gets instead is war. But in a world where truth is never what it seems, control becomes fragile, and enemies begin to feel dangerously like fate. Because Caspian isn't just another pawn in Winter's empire-and Winter isn't just another name in Caspian's revenge. They were never supposed to collide. But some obsessions don't ask for permission. And some truths are powerful enough to destroy everything they touch. Including them. P.S. I am a university student so updates might be kind of slow as I write and update when I get the chance. Do bear with me and I hope you enjoy!🖤

He doesn't know how much he's breaking my heart right now. "Trinity, I don't know how to show you how much sorry I am." He states, rubbing his face with his hand in frustration. "You can't, your 'sorry' doesn't changed what happened." I point to my face, where the bandage is. "This could have been prevented but you didn't even move a muscle to come and save me." "Trinity, if I did that it could have ruined my plans." He says, lowly. "It doesn't matter. If you truly love me like you say you do, you wouldn't have hesitated to come save me. I was so scared Aaron, I thought I was going to die." I respond, tears spilling before I can stop them. "I do love you Trin, I love you so fucking much." He states, clutching his shirt where his heart is. "Not like the way I love you Aaron. If you were in the position I was in, I wouldn't have fucking hesitated to come save you. I would die for you and you clearly wouldn't do the same." - Trinity's planner didn't originally have "falling in love with Aaron Florence" on it, but after a heated night and multiple dates, it became a daily thing.

A Second Chance: Book Three of The Costanzo Series-Standalone
"Why can't I fucking hit you?" Thomas yells, smacking the belt close to her feet. "Why," he smacks it on the door above her head. "Why, fucking why" to the right and left sides of her body. Melina trembles against the door with her eyes closed and head tucked between her knees. She jumps, sniffing Thomas' cologne, and tries to hide more. He's probably bending down. "I want to hurt you, Melina, but I fucking can't. Tell me why I fucking can't. Tell me why," she bites her lips to muffle her sobs as she fears they will exacerbate her situation. "Fucking look at me when I am talking to you," Thomas says, grabbing her hair and pulling her head up. "I am- so-r-r-r-y," she says as she turns to face him with her tear-stained face and bloodshot eyes. "Did you think it would work? Did you actually think you could get me arrested and then flee? Are you that dumb, Melina?" he tightens his grip on her hair, and it starts to hurt. Melina can't believe this is what he thinks.

Seven Days
I ran my hands through his hair, my grip firm as I pushed it down slightly, my main focus on his lips. "And then?" "Then I'd slide my dick into you and fuck you mercilessly, even if you have me begging to stop, I'll make sure you can't walk or think straight for months. I'd take you in every single fucking position, and I'd make sure that your tight little pussy is all used up but yet it still wants me inside. I'd make you scream, sing and shout my name, all from the overwhelm of pleasure and I'd do it every fucking time until you learn to listen." ~ Win her trust. Sleep with her. And then humiliate her. That's what Dante was sent to do, but once he lays eyes on Khristina, he knows this plan might happen to go down the drain. *FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY* *DO NOT COPY OR I'LL FIND YOU* *if you are reading this book somewhere other than Wattpad, you are possibly at serious risk of a malware attack and it has been stolen from me. if you'd like to read safely you can follow this link: https://www.wattpad.com/story/271398924-seven-days.

She's His Mission
COMPLETED ✔️ "I want you to fuck off" I growl back to him and step away. Although I want to pull him further to me. "I rather think you want me to stay?" His hand again reaches my neck, my eyes connect to his and that moment I knew I couldn't pull away. --- She's running from the man she loves... into the arms of a man who could save her-or destroy her. Katerina has been outrunning death for five years. Ever since she walked away from her father-and the violent empire he built-she's learned one rule: trust no one. She works alone. No partners. No witnesses. No help. But survival comes at a price. She's forgotten what love feels like. That changes the night of the Mafia Ball. Everything finally seems to fall into place... until it all explodes. Katerina finds herself in the hands of a man with his own dangerous agenda-and no intention of letting her go. Enter Roman Fernandez, a powerful stranger offering protection, partnership... and something she hasn't felt in years: desire. His gorgeous green eyes are hard enough to resist-but his deathly grip and whispered confessions make him impossible to ignore. For the first time, Katerina isn't just fighting for her life-she's fighting to feel again. But just when her new life starts to feel real, her past resurfaces with blood on its hands. And at the center of it is the man she once vowed forever to-the husband she left behind, the only one who knows her and how to break her. He doesn't like to share. And Katerina? She was always his mission. Now, love becomes a battlefield-and the prize is her soul. --- "I really love this book and I can't wait for the next chapter!"
