Ella's past haunts her like a ghost. Her feeble acts against her corrupted family led her to losing the boy she loves, but gifted her towards a path of freedom. When an opportunity arises for her to leave her uncles side and go to New York, she doesn't waste a second to leave the life of luxury, murder, and control.

Now, a second year at NYU, Ella is given the opportunity to complete the task her uncle set out for her, which is to find the french drug populating the states "Rogue" and bring it back, so she can finally be free from his torture. But when the opportunity is snatched away, and all of Ella's hardships go to waste, Ella must make a decision to go back and die, or stay and be hunted down.

She meets the Vemoure Family. The French Dynasty and owners of the billion dollar company, Vemoure Fragrance. After being kidnapped by the family, and trailed for her uncles crimes, Ella faces a truth more haunting then her past. 

Her dead mother was the creator of the drug, Rogue. And only she knows the key to stop its production.

Ella must side with her uncle's enemies to find the truth of the drug that killed both her parents. She's bought back into the life of luxury, murder, and control, only now she has multiple targets on her back. One being the chairman's grandson, Val Vemoure, who's dead-set on killing Ella after the announcement of their arranged marriage. The other being his cousin, Victor Vemoure, who Ella can't stop fawning over.

Ella must pick and choose what's more important, being free of this life of misery, or avenging her mother and killing the people that made her life a living hell.

(Tainted Series:1) **Four merciless rulers of the underworld. A mafia heiress thrown into a perilous game of power and betrayal. Her resilience will be tempered in the fires of darkness.** Svetlana~ Returning to Russia on my twenty-fourth birthday, I am confronted with a reality beyond my darkest fears. My father's revelation strikes like a thunderbolt-my destiny entwined with the most ruthless mafia lords of our era. Four men who command the shadows with an iron fist. Four tyrants who inspire fear and obedience wherever they tread. Four sovereigns who believe I am their possession to claim. **"In the realm of shadows, only the boldest survive. I will not be tamed."** As the daughter of a revered Russian family, I was meant to be sheltered from the brutalities of the criminal world. But now, I find myself at the center of a deadly game, where power and passion collide. They see me as their trophy, a symbol of their unchallenged supremacy. But they have underestimated my spirit. **"The darkness respects only those who challenge its reign."** My journey is a tapestry of ambition and defiance, woven with threads of loyalty and insurgency. They aim to subjugate me, to manipulate me as a pawn in their sinister dance of dominance. Yet, I refuse to be a passive player-I am the catalyst that will ignite the flames of change. In this labyrinth of deceit and power, I will forge my own destiny. I will not merely endure; I will rise. This is not a tale of submission and control-it is the saga of a woman ascending to her rightful place in a world governed by men. Svetlana, once averse to the mafia's dark allure, now stands at the precipice of her own awakening, ready to challenge the very foundations of their empire.

-COMPLETE original version PLUS first half of new version!- "I don't know what to do," I admitted for the first time to both her and myself. "I don't know how to maintain this without fucking something up. I don't know how to keep spending time with you without setting a bad example or slipping up in front of my Family." Violet sat up and turned to face me. "I can't answer that for you," she said with a sad smile. "But I can go. I can make this easier, stay out of your way for a while." She stood on her knees between my legs, close, but not touching, and watched me with those wide, ocean eyes. I should have told her to go- listened to her suggestion and put some real distance between us. It would have been smarter, safer. But it would feel like cutting off my own hands. "I don't want that," I murmured, and reached for her waist. (excerpt from new version) --- Vengeance. Vendetta. Violence. These three words are all Violet Harcourt knows. For years, her world has been centered around killing Bill Pfeiffer, the hitman who murdered her father and sister. She's learned the criminal underground inside and out while masquerading as a quiet art student, bringing her closer and closer to her target. Now, it's time to blow her cover, and Bill Pfeiffer's brains out. Vitale Fierro lives a carefree life at the top of the Salvaggi Mafia. Business has been good, and Chicago isn't a bad place to call home when you're a professional criminal. But when a girl with purple hair murders the Family's prized hitman, he's given the responsibility of what to do with her. To kill, or not to kill seems to be the ultimate question- one he must answer while managing a promotion, taking down a rival Family, and trying not to fall in love. Book 1 of the Rough Love Novels

𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐄 is pretty sure her next-door neighbor is a serial killer. What else could explain his strange antisocial behavior, creepily minimalistic apartment, and that inhumanly emotionless demeanor? Oh, and don't forget the bloodied body parts that have started showing up. It's too bad she's not scared of him. Or his unveiled threats on her life. But an emotionally scarred gangster on the run - riding the brink of insanity and followed by a host of trouble - is a lot more than she could've bargained for. 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐎 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐎 is beyond redemption. Capo of the Romano crime family, the sociopathic Prince of Chicago, hell wrapped in a designer suit. He exemplifies cold precision and perfect control. His job has always come easily to him for the very same reason that his name is feared widely: he's incapable of emotion. But something horrifying and sinister is beginning to happen to him. And it turns out that pesky slipping sanity is the least of his concerns. Because his new neighbor is a ray-of-sunshine wildcard dipped in beauty like he's never seen, and she won't leave him alone. Worse, he can't decide if he should kill or protect her. Massimo doesn't count on Vivienne being the first person to look at him like he's human. Or demons from his past coming back to haunt him. Much less a new threat looming on the horizon. Or love. Especially not that. ♛ Deviant Prince is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, dark mafia romance with mature content and dark themes. Read at your own discretion. [ Book 2 in the Romano Brotherhood Series ]
