Irina Elif Kazanova doesn't do love. She's built an empire with steel in her veins and no room for weakness. Cold, ruthless, and untouchable, she's lived her life by one rule-control everything.
That is, until the man she was supposed to marry-Maxim Ivanov's brother-abandons her for another.
Now, Maxim is her reluctant fiancé. The last man she wants. The one who makes her want to feel...and never let go.
Maxim doesn't want her either. His heart belongs to someone else, and a marriage to the woman who's always looked at him like he's a ghost isn't part of the plan. But duty is a chain they can't break. And when their worlds collide, nothing will ever be the same.
The battle between duty and desire will tear them apart. But the greatest temptation may just be the one that burns them both.

NEXUM (18+)
𝐍𝐄𝐗𝐔𝐌'𝐒 𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐃𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐎𝐓𝐀𝐋 𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐍 𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱 She's the city's top model. Seen by everyone. Known by no one. She survives by keeping her past sealed tight- every bruise, every secret, every ugly truth locked behind elegance and restraint. Her life is a performance, and she never misses a step. Until she slips... ...and falls straight into the orbit of the man she was taught to despise most. One reckless act- done under the guise of a false persona- sets something irreversible in motion. A line is crossed. A fire is sparked. And the illusion of distance between them shatters. That night leaves her with a hangover, and a realization she can't escape. You don't have to die to go to hell. Some men bring it right to you. He is power without conscience. A presence felt more than seen. The devil everyone fears. She is a mess dressed in designer. A voice that refuses to be silenced. The angel everyone envies. Logic says they should never align. That their worlds, their loyalties, and their sins are fundamentally opposed. Nexum says there couldn't be a better fit. 𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧 @xplicitlyvenus 2025, all rights reserved
Mafioso Series 1: Contractual Wife
"Three years of your life in exchange for your brother's future. Fair, isn't it?" For years, she's lived on exhaustion and sacrifice-working tirelessly to keep food on the table, drowning in debt, and fighting to pay for her brother's medical bills. Hope was never meant for her... until the most dangerous man she knows offers a deal she cannot refuse. Caius Grivano. Her cold, ruthless employer. The infamous mafia leader whose name alone makes the underworld tremble. His proposition is simple: be his wife. No strings. No love. Just a contract that grants her brother's life in exchange for her freedom. Luxury in place of poverty. Safety in exchange for silence. But simplicity is a lie. Because behind Caius's icy indifference is a past that refuses to stay buried... and a little girl who shatters every wall he's built. What happens when a transaction of convenience begins to feel like something far more dangerous-something real?
