He was covering his scars with nothingness

.
All Livia wanted was a fresh start. A new job, a little dignity, and a chance to keep her struggling family afloat. What she got instead was a front-row seat to the cold-blooded world of the Vitale crime family.
Fired after just three days of enduring her infuriatingly distant boss, Angelo Vitale-a man carved from ice and steel-Livia thought her nightmare was over. Until she was kidnapped off the street and delivered to his uncle: Damien Vitale, the cruel underboss with a smile sharper than his blade.
Now, trapped in a power struggle between two merciless men, Livia learns that survival is more than just keeping your head down-it's knowing when to fight back, and when to make them bleed.
But Angelo isn't the man she thought he was. He finds her. Claims her. And in one heated moment-back pressed against his office door, voice a low command in her ear-he makes one thing clear:
"You don't walk away from me, Livia. Not when I've already chosen you."
Torn between danger and desire, fear and fascination, Livia is pulled into a deadly game of secrets, scars, and the kind of love that ruins you completely.
And in the shadows, someone is watching-waiting to shatter what's left of her hope.

The Price Of Obsession
Sold. Caged. Desired. When Valeria is sold to the mafia, she is thrust into a brutal world of blood and power, where survival is a game only the ruthless can win. With nothing but her wits and a fire that refuses to die, she sets her sights on the most dangerous man in the underworld-La Campone, Alfredo Dela Cruz. Her plan is simple: Make him want her. Make him need her. Make him her way out. But Alfredo is not a man to be controlled. He is a king among criminals, a man with darkness in his veins and secrets buried deep. The more Valeria plays her game, the tighter his grip on her becomes-until she no longer knows if she's seducing him... or if she's the one being consumed. Love was never part of the plan. Freedom was all she wanted. But in a world where hearts are as dangerous as bullets, can Valeria escape before Alfredo owns her completely? Or is she already too far gone? In this world, love is power. And power always comes at a price. #1 Action Romance (29th September, 2026)

Psychological Horror and Slow-burn Dark Romance. 18+ --------------------------- It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday. The night I was kidnapped.

HIS FAVOURITE SIN
Meet Elizabeth Wilson She once believed in fairy tales. A kindhearted girl born into nothing but hardship, she lived in the heart of Rome, a city that felt too big for her small, orphaned world.

Sometimes, it walks into your life wearing a devil's smile. ● ● ● Enter Samuel Vitale. He wasn't a college boy. Not really. He looked the part-young, handsome, confident.
