Found in Darkness by LJRae0328

A crime boss struggles to carry out a vendetta after he falls for the spirited daughter of his enemy. ***** Twenty-two years after his parents were killed, Federico Di Maggio returns to New York with a simple plan: take down the man who betrayed his family. What he didn't plan on was Elenora Borelli, the enigmatic and fiery daughter of his enemy. Reeling from recent heartbreak, Elenora will stop at nothing to find her happiness. But when she finds herself pressured into an engagement with the dark and mysterious Federico, happiness may be the least of her problems. Hellbent on sabotaging the arrangement, Elenora defies Federico in ways no one else would ever dare. Too bad Federico's never been one to back down from a challenge. Especially one that calls to him in the most feral and passionate of ways. With unforeseen betrayals and new rivals, perhaps the real challenge Federico must face is deciding whether to fight his feelings for Elenora or give into them. But even if he chooses to end his long-standing vendetta against her father for mounting sparks between them, there's no guarantee she'll risk her heart on him. *Content Advisory: This story contains coarse language, scenes with violence and mature sexual content.

You Found Me by Mystic_Meadows0

✦The Story of a Girl Who Lost Everything and Found Her Strength✦ Kidnapped at just two years old, Gracelyn was raised by the people who stole her-her mother and stepfather. What began as a lie turned into years of cruelty, leaving her with scars that run far deeper than anyone can see. But when tragedy strikes and the only family she's ever known dies from an overdose, Gracelyn's life is thrown into chaos once again. She's sent to live with the family she was taken from-her real father and five older brothers. They're strangers bound by blood, desperate to make up for the years they lost. But Gracelyn isn't the same little girl they once knew. She's guarded, broken, and carrying secrets that could shatter what little trust she has left. Can she let them in before her past destroys her chance at healing? Or will the darkness she's lived through consume the fragile new life she's been given? ✦Author's Note✦ You may have read this story when I first began publishing chapters-I took a long break, but fear not, I've returned to continue writing. I've re-edited and refined the earlier chapters, so you may want to reread them to catch all the changes. Thank you for your patience and support. I hope you enjoy reading this story as much as I've loved writing it. ♡

The Devil's Eyes by foreignchocolate

"Now I really want to see you on your knees," he murmured, his voice low, commanding. "You'd have to beg," she replied, her breath uneven, words trembling between defiance and temptation. Nicolò's smile deepened, but it wasn't amusement-it was the look of a man who enjoyed testing limits. "Please", he said quietly. ~~~~~<< Aemilia's life used to be perfect-controlled, graceful, hers. Until her best friend betrayed her. Until her dreams shattered. Until her vision, her passion, and her trust in the world vanished overnight. Now, with her parents forcing her into a marriage she doesn't want, Aemilia is ready to give up-until he steps in. Nicolò DeLuca. Arrogant. Dangerous. The son of the world's most feared mafia boss. He offers her a deal she can't refuse-one that could give her back her power, her control, her freedom. But nothing about Nicolò comes without a price. He's chaos wrapped in charm. She's fire buried under ice. Together, they'll burn everything in their path-including each other. As old betrayals resurface and new temptations pull her deeper into his world Because love might be blind- but revenge sees everything.

"Everything I Wish I Knew" by daisywritess_

Everything I've always dreamt of was a fairytale type of romance. Everything I've ever wanted was to find my prince charming, one who buys me flowers and chocolates. Everything I've silently prayed for was for a hand to pull me from the suffocation torment I was drawing in. And my heart thought I've found all that since the first time I saw 𝐉𝐚𝐱𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐡; the most beautiful guy that made my heart flutter. But everything I thought I knew about love was wrong. The prince charming I thought was going to be my savior ended up being my destroyer. I'm 𝐊𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐬, and this is everything I wish I knew before I fell for my cataclysmic prince.

Until one night, a fugitive breaks into her home and disrupts everything she thought she had under control. Mauro is burdened by a past marked by decisions he didn't make and guilt that isn't his. In his desperate flight, he finds refuge in Rocío's house, never imagining that there he will discover something far more dangerous than police pursuit: the vulnerability and tenderness of a woman who confronts him with his own ghosts. Two strangers, two broken lives, two souls on the run. What begins as a threat soon becomes an unexpected alliance. Between fear and mistrust, a passion as intense as it is forbidden will be born, capable of confronting them with what they have been running from: the truth about themselves.
