One plan. One mission.
There was no room for mistakes, and the slightest error could only mean death.
But she was ready.
It was simple.
Get in, (brutally) murder one man and get out, expeditiously. Lola Summers knew exactly what she had to do. It was a task she spent the better quarter of her life preparing for. It was her life's goal. And she would stop at nothing to achieve that goal... even if it involved taking a calulated risk in the heat of the moment.
Initially...Lola knew that taking risks, even if it helped her goal, was self sabotage. Overlooking those risks would be disastrous, and being unprepared for anything was suicide. In the heat of that moment, Lola hadn't for once considered any outside intrusion. She hadn't fully prepared for being seen, and most importantly, she wasn't prepared for being caught.
More specifically... being caught by a man who had hesitated to kill her on the spot for what she'd done. A very strange man who made her shiver at the slightest touch and could disarm her with one penetrative gaze. A very peculiar man who wasn't very interested in letting her go either.

One demon in particular, David Reed, the leader of the gang in my town. My name is Mikayla Reed, or just Kayla really. I'm a street kid through, and through. Being asociated with the devil is a burden, and I intent to keep my cards close. Never trust anyone but yourself, except the seven guys I find myself getting closer to. They each have skills i've never seen before, but quesition is: Will it be enough? One thing is clear though. I'm never taking orders from anyone ever again. Over. My. Dead. Body.

READ THIS BEFORE READING THE NOVEL: This is a contemporary why choose romance, where the female main character doesn't have to choose between any of the male main characters. There will be a happy ending, but the road is long. This is slowburn, meaning that it takes a while for the romance to take place.

Nightmoth
•When is a monster not a monster?• •When you're in love with it• "Listen to me," he whispers, his voice clearly clouded with desire, "if you want me to stop, you will not hesitate to say it, understood?" He's the most dangerous thing she's ever known, and the rational part of her wants to stay away. He's brutal. He's scary. And he's someone she definitely should not be messing with. Yet, with every touch, every clench of his jaw and tensing of his muscles, she can't resist the urge to torment him. What she doesn't know: It goes both ways. She's bright. She's brilliant. And she's someone he can't help but be drawn to. Lucky for him, it doesn't look like she wants to stay away. And lucky for her, torment is in his job description. [Warning: Gore, violence and sexual themes] Author's note: This is a slowburn romance, and will probably have you pulling at your hair at times. If you don't like slowburn, I would suggest skipping this one. [CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR MELTING ZANE]Complete
Fade to black ( #1 of The Mafia Game )
The house was nothing but bones now. Charred wood. Crumbled stone. Ashes scattered like ghosts across the floor. Every breath I took carried the bitter taste of smoke, though the fire had died decades ago. It was the perfect place for a killing. Quiet. Empty. Forgotten. I stepped across the wreckage, eyes sharp, and focused steadily. Tonight was supposed to belong to me. My target. My mission. My silence. Then a voice rose from the shadows. Low. Calm. Unwanted. "What are you doing here?" I froze. My head snapped toward the sound. Out of the dark, Liam Kaiser emerged, his eyes catching the faint light from a broken window. I narrowed mine. "That's my question. What are you doing here?" The air between us tightened, the silence heavy. Finally, I said it. "I'm here to kill someone. Someone important." That was when I heard it-soft at first, then clearer-the crunch of footsteps pressing into the ash. Shapes moved. Five men stepped out of the gloom, surrounding us. Guns lifted. Smiles carved onto their faces like they already knew how this story ended. I glanced at Liam. He glanced back. We didn't need words. This just turned into something else. Then a new voice filled the ruins. Smooth. Measured. Dangerous. "Well, well. What a surprise... to see you here, mafia lord." My stomach dropped. I turned toward the figure stepping into the faint light. The world narrowed. My throat tightened. "Dad?" I whispered. The word echoed into the hollow house, vanishing into smoke and ash.

Veil of obsession
She agreed to marry him to save her brother. She never imagined she'd be stepping into a world of luxury, danger, and obsession. He's a man feared by everyone-a mafia don whose calm control hides a ruthless obsession. He keeps her close, watches her every move, and tests her in ways she can't resist. Every glance, every touch, every whispered word blurs the line between fear and desire. Trapped between her own defiance and the dangerous pull of a man who wants her completely, she discovers that some chains aren't meant to be broken... and some love isn't meant to be safe. In a world where power is everything and betrayal lurks in every shadow, how far will she go for love-or survival? Warning: This story is dark, twisted, and intensely romantic. Expect obsession, possessive love, and morally gray desires
Melancholy
She hated them. They loved her with everything in them. The universe truly has a sick way of telling you it's there, doesn't it? From being kidnapped to being abused, that was all Arabella saw in life. It was all she ever knew. They tell you to keep fighting but sometimes you realize... you were just a child. Now she's built herself up using her pain as the next step to her strength. She's learnt how to strive forward even as her past haunts her mind crawling up her back every passing second. That is until the first 7 people who only ever brought her pain find their way back into her life. She has no way to let go of her past when they come right back to her. The world showed her no mercy in it's ways so why should she. ~~~ I let out a small sigh wanting more of this. I wanted to be held like this whenever I felt broken. Feel the way he puts me back together in his arms. It ate at my heart and I could have sworn I felt a feathery kiss on my head. It was as if he could hear my thoughts and was kissing them away for me. Slowly he lets one hand go, the other staying around me as he brings my chin up to him gently wiping my last tears as more fill my eyes. He sees this and his eyes look... crumbled. If you feel this way then why can't you choose me, Dominic. I shake my head from his hands wishing to step back but he pulls me back to him a pain filled groan leaving him. "Just one more minute. Please." His body shook and I brought him closer, feeling our pain become one. Our hurricanes of minds pull away even for the smallest time letting us stand together as one in each other's embrace. He was it for me. But I wasn't his.Complete
Kiss Me Like a Lie
He hated her. Not the I-don't-like-you kind of hate. No. He hates her with every fibre of his being. Her mere presence set him off. He hates her know it all smile and the way she brushes her hair out of her face when she is upset. The way she played with her hands when she's nervous or made snarky remarks whenever he walked into a room. He hates her with every fibre of his being. She hated him. With every fibre of her being. With his sarcastic comments and devilish grin. She hated the way he never would address her politely, or at all for that matter. He was rude and annoying and she hated it all. Everything about him. She couldn't stand it. But then again, there's a very thin line between hate and love... - Dark romance - Enemies to lovers - Arranged marriage. - Forced proximity. - Revenge.
Always Down
My body was pressed against his hard slack and colliding underneath the agonizing tension, he lowered his mouth to mine and his tongue darted to run across my bottom lip. My core throbbed under his touch and my thighs clenched hard when he thrusted his hard on against my body. He then leaned to kiss me, long and angered, forcing for the tears beneath my closed lids to burn like acid. His teeth nicked my bottom lip and a cry of pain pushed through my throat. My nails clawed his forearms in retaliation but that never stopped his assault on my lips. He showed me how fucking vulnerable my body was beneath him and his words from the other night pricked my conscience. I assembled my guts and pushed his body back. I tried to step past him but he held my upper arm and pulled me back against the ropes. "Let go of me, Hades." My voice wavered. He stared down at me for a brief moment before releasing his hold and backed away. "Gladly." Hades D'amiano- vain, narcissistic and a lethal weapon. Mia Faye- seductive, assertive and a fatale lie. Secrets, love and betrayal to unfoldComplete
