THE TASTE OF HIS HEAT
He's cold as ice. She's warm as fire. But fate isn't asking-it's demanding. Vincenzo Li Fonti is a ruthless, untouchable billionaire-the kind of man who doesn't need to raise his voice to silence a room. Feared by his enemies, respected by his allies, and adored only by his young son, Vincenzo rules both boardrooms and backrooms with terrifying precision. Love? It's a weakness he cannot afford. Bianca Romano is a struggling yet stunning lady of no recollections of her roots and grows up in an orphanage, working job to job with her fierce best friend, Natalie, just to survive. Eight years ago, her life shattered when her newborn son was stolen from her. Now, a single night of passion with a stranger pulls Bianca back into a world she thought she'd never touch. That stranger? None other than Vincenzo himself. When Vincenzo discovers Bianca is carrying his child, he gives her no choice: Marry me or I take the baby. Out of fear-and haunted by the child she lost-Bianca agrees, thrown into a cold, opulent world where danger whispers in every shadow and love is the last thing anyone believes in. But beneath Vincenzo's icy surface lies a man deeply loyal to those he loves. And Bianca's fire? It might just be the only thing that can melt him. As secrets unravel-including the shocking truth about Bianca's stolen child and she uncovers her origin-Bianca must navigate betrayal, obsession, and vengeance. And when enemies strike to destroy everything she's built, Vincenzo's dark, deadly world will rise to protect her... or consume them both. In a story where nothing is as it seems, and everyone has something to hide, one thing is certain: Love was never the plan-but fate doesn't care about plans.Complete

Insanity
To the world, Allena Draknos is a cold, teenage model who doesn't care about anything or anyone. In reality, she's trying to protect herself and younger sisters from the wrath of their abusive uncle. To the world, Luca Romano, is Italy's golden boy. Rich, good looking, everything a girl wants. In reality he's the heir to a mafia he doesn't even want, and under control of his strict father. The two don't have much in common except for two things: the fear of arranged marriage, and a disdain for each other. But, if they want to save themselves and the people they care about they have to push that aside and convince the entire world they're dating. EXCERPT "There's no harm in holding in this out, at least until the threat of an arranged marriage passes." He argues. "I can't decide what happens to my future until I'm eighteen, and legally get my inheritance. That's months from now." I retort. "And I can't decide until the business gets handed over to me in a few months." Luca adds. "We keep this up until then, and then we break it off." "And what happens when they ask why we aren't engaged?" I ask. "They won't. We just need it to last for a little." He continues. "Plus, we'd barely have to see each other. I'd be in Italy, and you'd be here. Occasionally we can be seen together, for the press and our family." "They'll read right through us." I mumble. "Only if we let them." "This is insane." I whisper. "Well, then what do you say, bellissima? Want to go to insanity with me?"Complete
His Unwanted Desire
I pushed him with as much force as I could, which made him stumble slightly, but he succeeded in maintaining his balance and escaped falling. That was when I got a chance to see his face. Oh, my gosh!! He is so handsome...wait...I have seen him somewhere...somewhere...what the...!! He...he is Mr. Shane Adams, the CEO of Adams' Empire. But why the heck did he kiss me? Did he misunderstand me for someone else? "How dare you push me? Do you even know who I am?" He asked, angrily. "Don't give me that shit of 'Do you know who I am?' I know who you are, but how dare you kiss me without my permission?" I spat back. My statement fueled his anger, and now he was extremely furious. He had his hand balled into a fist. He slowly came closer to me and stopped just inches from me. "You lousy mouse. You are nothing but a slut. Do you hear me? You are.a.slut!" he whispered into my ear from my back, holding both of my hands tightly. I could no longer take it, as I was beyond furious at this point. I punched him hard on his handsome face, and the side of his lips started bleeding. Serves him better! And that was how Lara and Shane met. They weren't opposites. They weren't alike either. Just two people who shouldn't have crossed paths... yet somehow kept running into each other again and again. Step into the chaotic love story of Shane and Lara. PS: Yes, it's cliché. But the kind you won't be able to stop reading. PS II: I think my 18-year-old self nailed this story. tee..heeComplete
