"Nothing good ever came without sacrifice. Some of us just found clarity in the darkness of those shadows."
***
Nyx Monroe grew up with terrifying tales of golden-eyed beasts with nightmarish fangs and murderous tendencies but as time passed, she forgot about them, convinced they were just scary stories. When her father, Azeil Monroe, is tasked with solving the murder plaguing the coastal city of Celacali, it's a chance at a fresh start.
However, Nyx discovers everything is not what it seems beneath the veneer of the popular tourist location, also known as the City of the Dead. Something dark resides there-death and carnage reincarnate.
Plunged into the city's shadows, Nyx stumbles into the open arms of notorious Orion, Kotori, Niko, and Kade-the boardwalk is their blood-stained domain.
They've been waiting for twenty-five years to exact their revenge for a debt long overdue, luring Nyx and her father back to where it all began. Whilst they distract Azeil with one murder case after the other, their focus shifts to Nyx.
Soon, there's nowhere left for her to run-to hide-from the true beasts of legend, or from the darkness of her past.

Alpha Wolf - Mate Mine
(+18) COMPLETED ✔ {Highest Ranks & Awards: #1 in Werewolf, #3 in Alpha, #3 in Mate, #16 in Romance, 19/11/2020} ☆☆☆☆ Mirko. Just his name is enough to invoke fear. Young in age yet ancient in his fury, with burning eyes and a bloody history of ice & fangs. His beast-more prehistoric predator than a mere Alpha-rules the shadows as ruthlessly as he rules his pack, the infamous Black Devils. Whispers speak of a curse. Wolves born without mates, destined to lose themselves to the feral madness of their inner beasts. But then came her. ☆☆☆☆ Elena paused, her gaze sweeping over him. His nostrils flared, thick veins bulged along his neck and face, and his eyes were pitch black-voids of pure darkness. Elongated, inhuman ears twitched as sharp fangs pierced his lips. Any sane person would have run for their life. But to Elena, he had never looked more beautiful. ☆☆☆☆ After this book, you'll find yourself longing for that simple, powerful word-the one we all secretly yearn to hear once in a lifetime: MATE ☆☆☆☆ Some reviews from my awesome readers: annaglowka2005: "MASTERPIECE!!!!

Never Have I Ever (Games We Play, #1)
What if Romeo and Juliet never fell in love at first sight, but slowly, without knowing each other's family histories? And what if the Montagues and the Capulets weren't noble families, but cruel crime families? Never Have I Ever is a dual-POV character-driven contemporary novel with romance and crime elements. It is the first one of the Games We Play series. It reimagines the doomed-romance-because-of-rival-families of Romeo & Juliet, in a contemporary setting similar to the Daisy Haites series, and blends it with the moral conflict and family dynamics of the Godfather, where the internal character struggle between self and legacy slowly (but ultimately) leads to moral decay. *In the summer of 2019, the sheltered daughter of a Russian oligarch meets the gilded heir of the Sicilian underworld, sparking an attraction that will test their loyalties and awaken buried grudges.* Rule #1: The game of power is won by those brave enough to play it ---- A slow burn mafia romance series, in which the heirs of two rival crime families are drawn into the deadly game for power, in a world where loyalty is written in blood, secrets are currency, and love is a liability. Very loosely based on the idea of a mix between Romeo & Juliet and The Godfather, aka there are two rival families with two rival heirs who do (eventually) fall in love for real, all while struggling with the realities of being born into a crime dynasty.
The Arrangement
𝟏𝟖+ "Do you have any idea," he started as he licked his lips, his tongue piercing catching my eye, "how much I've had to refrain myself from fucking you over the last few months?" * Three very simple rules was all it took for everything to fail, but does Taylor Thomas and Nicolas Romano abide by them? Out of all things that could go wrong to Taylor, everything just starts to blow up all at once for her. One fateful night out with her best friend, she witnesses a murder commited by familiar billionaire Nicolas Romano, and receives a call from her older brother that he owed the wrong people some money, and now he's been framed and arrested for murder. She decided to involve herself into the mafia world, for all the right reasons. Or so she thought. What she didn't expect however, was to become the main target on their list. Secrets are soon revealed, bonds are built, and time begins to quickly run out. Will they make it in time? Will they disobey the rules? Will love get in the way and end up killing both Nicolas and Taylor? USED TO BE TITLED: SINS AND SCARSComplete
