Hostile Takeover
Genre: Mafia Romance | Enemies-to-Lovers | Power Couple | Slow Burn Spice ⸻ Valentina Cruz didn't claw her way to the top of the corporate world just to be pushed around by a man - especially not one with blood on his hands and a smirk that could start a war. Luca Moretti, heir to New York's most notorious crime family, isn't used to hearing "no." But when Valentina's company accidentally buys one of his family's laundering fronts, she becomes his new obsession - and his biggest problem. She wants to keep her empire clean. He wants his property back. Neither plans on falling for the enemy. But when an unknown rival targets them both, Valentina and Luca are forced into a fake partnership - complete with shared office space, public "engagements," and way too many late nights that stop being about business. He calls her "boss" just to get under her skin. She makes him sign NDAs before kissing her. Together? They're chaos wrapped in expensive suits. ⸻ Expect: • power play banter that turns into sexual tension • a CEO in stilettos outsmarting a man who's killed for less • mafia-style "protection" that gets a little too personal • humor, luxury, danger, and heat in every chapter • a love story that starts with blackmail and ends with a blood oath ⸻ She wanted control. He wanted her surrender. Neither expected love to be the real takeover.
WHAT HE WOULDN'T SAY
Isabella Cortez thought college would be her fresh start, new friends, new memories, new everything.

And Theo comes with his own set of problems... like his best friend, Vincent Blanco. Vincent's older, quiet, and way too serious for his own good. He's the type of guy who keeps his secrets close ,and doesn't like anyone getting too comfortable around him. Especially not Theo's little sister. But fate has other plans. Between tense silences, and the kind of glances that last too long, Isabella starts to realize there's more to Vincent than the cold, unreadable exterior he shows everyone. And maybe, just maybe, she's not as invisible as she thought.
The Devilman's Flower (+16)
#3 of the Devilman series. Could be read as a stand alone. He came to our school as a new student from Romania this year and I didn't put much thought into it. He hung out with the untouchable boys who are the Castillo's and Evan Carney which surprised everyone because he's a complete nerd. But I know him better than them. Me, Cassia Florin, eighteen year old innocent girl with good grades, abusive parents and a backstabbing sister. My friends aren't much better either. I was a programmed robot, only allowed to live my life based on my what my parents allowed. But that was all before I met Luca. My bad boy undercover. He was drawn to me for some reason and I could never put my finger over it till he explained everything that pulled me to him. This boy didn't look at danger he was the danger itself. Seductive to look at, melting to speak to and burning to touch. I'm scared of him. No, no. Not scared. Terrified. He made me see , he made me live and made me feel alive.
