(Original Version) My cousin and I are the only true bloods left in the Thanos Family. I'm eighteen now and my absent father decided to finally take responsibility of having another child. Moving from New York to California wasn't the hard part. The hard part was trying to find the ones who murdered my mother and my grandparents, pretending to be a normal high schooler, and along with that, fighting my feelings for one of my brother's best friends. Didn't I mention that I am also going to be the new Don of our West Coast Empire? I am Gaiana Kallisto Thanos, Mafia Princess, and the best fucking fighter there is. This is book one of the Mafia Duet. WARNING: 18+ Mature scenes and language. _________________________________________ EXCERPT: "I only give respect to those who deserve it, and the only one in this room that deserves it is Alex. Plus you can't call me a slut when you are the one who loves to constantly have her bed warmed with partners. I'm the one in a stable relationship." She gave a smirk. "You sure about that," she asked. She took her phone out and showed me a photo of Luca dressed in what he wore today, escorting Stephany into the passenger seat of his car. I felt my heart drop to my stomach but didn't outwardly show it. Years of being able to turn off my emotions come in handy. "Well there goes that." I looked into her eyes. "What? Did you expect me to drop to the floor and cry? Honey, you don't know me. And you never will because I'm moving out." I looked at my father and said, "It was nice meeting you but I'm good. I'll pack my stuff and be out by tonight." _________________________________________ Start: March 30, 2018 End: August 31, 2018 Copyrighted 2018

His Favorite Scar by CrystalWings-
24 parts Ongoing Mature
Nobody knew his last name, but they knew his name and also that he was the right hand of the most feared and powerful Mafia, not just in Russia, but in the entire world, and that was enough. With a Greek God like body, he had women throwing themselves at him and he made sure to enjoy every bit of the attention that he got, for he was no saint, he was a player! Apart from being the protagonist of every woman's wet dreams, he was also everything that a Mafia's right hand should have been. He was ruthless. He was cruel. He was a fucking killing machine! Everybody feared him and the only thing that he feared was...falling for his best friend's little sister. Scarlett Knight... She was your typical rich, spoiled brat. Growing up in a Mafia family, with an overprotective father and an equally overprotective brother, wasn't easy, but she learnt to live with it. With an innocent face and drop dead gorgeous figure, she knew, she turned heads wherever she went. Having seen enough bloodshed and violence all her life, her heart has turned cold, but the only time her heart warms up is...whenever she sees him. Her childhood crush. David... But too bad, he sees her only as his best friend's baby sister...or so she thought. Little did she know that...she was His Favorite Scar...imprinted, not just on his heart, but on his soul as well. A love story awaiting to bloom...a secret awaiting to destroy it. ••• Spin-off to "Loving The Russian Mafia" & "Scars On Her Soul" Can be read as a stand alone book, but I would suggest reading the above mentioned books first, to understand this one better.

Leonardo Romano is the Capo of the Italian mafia and never shows any emotion, weakness or care in anyone. Until he met her. But was he selfish enough to bring her into his world? ~~~ {excerpt} Aria. She was here. Right here. She didn't hear me come through the door, too engrossed in the book she was reading. I could hear her humming along to a song, similar to the way we first met. I walked right up to the desk, a gentle smile on my face. She still hadn't realised that I was there so I cleared my throat. "Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry, how can I help-" she looked up and she froze. Once it had sunk in, she smiled the biggest smile I have ever seen. "Leo!" She leaned over the desk and tried to give me a hug but because I was so tall, she only ended up hugging my torso.

RYA SOLACE & ACE VASILIEV ~~~~ "Please don't hurt me," she begged as tears filled her eyes. I chuckled a little, then took a seat in my chair. I folded one leg over the other and stared up at her before speaking. "I'm not going to hurt you, sweetheart," I assured her, but she looked scared to death. "Why did you kidnap me? I'm useless. There is nothing that I could possibly offer to you," she began blabbering, and I rolled my eyes. "Listen, you have something for me," I told her, and she gasped and placed her hand on her chest. "What could I possibly have for you? Please let me go," she begged. "My baby," I said, and her eyes widened in shock. "What!" She shouted as her jaw dropped. I don't know why, but I found her little reaction cute. "You are insane," she said, and I smirked. "Rya Solace, watch your mouth," I said as I took steps towards her, but she backed away. ••••••••••••••• "Always be a good girl, because good girls get rewards."

This is book two in the Lost&Found Series but can be read as a stand alone. *** I heard the bag drop on the table before he grabbed my elbow and spun me around. His hand cupped my chin as he made me look in his eyes. "So much anger, piccola raggazza." he said as his eyes darted back and forth between mine. My lips parted as I looked in his grey orbs which he inherited from his father. Sharp, defined jaw and pointy noise with his upper lip thin and bottom, thick. "I'm not angry at you. Your presence and absence are of little importance to me." I stated and looked away. "You grew up in my arms, I know you like the back of my hand." he told as his thumb applied pressure on my jaw to tilt my face towards his. I blinked and looked at him blankly not wanting to give away the fact that I was literally melting in his arms like a puddle. "You're not worthy of my any emotion or feeling. You're mistaken if you think I care." I stated in a matter of factly tone. *** Returning home after four years, Sylvia Mancini will encounter a lot more than she has anticipated. Her life's about to take a complete 360 turn and Adrian Knight just so happens to be the reason why.
