How far would you go for love?
In 1925 New York City, Will, a well-off yet anti-social restaraunteur, gets the chance of a lifetime to turn his mood around when business mogul Harris steps into his life.
Well-versed, handsome, and charismatic beyond belief, Harris is everything Will has ever dreamed about in a man, his fairytale come true. Though when Harris reveals himself to be a real life cold-hearted demon, he shatters Will's dreams of love and romance only to offer him a special deal: survive whatever he throws Will's way, and own his own heart soon after. Easy, right?
Knowing the odds are against him, yet desperate, Will agrees, spiraling him into a world of underground wars of love and loss during the height of prohibition.

Forsaken Fallen
"Walk on by my side, if death's your saving grace." This is a cruel story of humanity. An unforgiving, unforetold twist on the laws they call the norm. To those individuals and their handful of burden from a bygone past, it is their greatest wish for their torture to come to a close. Are they sinners? Or are they misguided, fallen angels? Is the kind of pain that makes them want to rip their eyes out... to turn their very beings into dust worth the journey in the big picture? In the reunion between two sides of the same coin does the curtain rise on this story. To one, a slave shackled by the truth of the world, to the other, a world that shall bow to one truth. It is in the deepest of despairs that sometimes the hopeful spirit is born--Thus I watch over with great interest. - Perséphone

Obsession.
If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a LOT better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile.

Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully! List of specific warnings can be found in the introduction. The writing gets better as the story progresses, I promise.Complete
