How to Poison Your Husband [COMPLETE! Cozy Romantasy With A Dash Of Murder]
Three years ago, Ivelle Delaville poisoned her murderous git of a husband and ran away to start a new life. Now blissfully single, Ivelle is content with her carpentry business (apart from the crushing debt), and she's determined to live a life free of romance and villainy. Or so she thinks. Faced with the threat of foreclosure, Ivelle has a choice: poison the evil Prince Eirifold in exchange for a metric f*ckton of gold, or starve to death as her carpentry business goes bankrupt. It seems like a no-brainer... except for one problem. The prince she's been hired to poison may not be as evil as advertised. He's also a really good kisser. ~ Book 1 of The Murdery Marriages ~Concluida

HIS DARK LOVE
'He would do anything... betray others or even learn to love, change the states and kill the eyes that ever looked at HIS DARK LOVE...' . . Two individuals... and their story- A boy who lost everything but never gave up on love, which he was now... AND a man who had everything but not a piece of love to give, which he wanted... just for one boy. Their love? Not sweet, not even bittersweet- just... twisted. Twisted in a form... North would kill anyone, that ever tried to separate him from Night, but he still wouldn't realize it was his fault all along. Night? He hates him to the core. Nobody stayed that long- not when he wanted, even if it meant being as his nightmare. The more he hated- it still never felt enough... until he forced himself to believe it was all a lie. Acceptance was a lie, and Night would live with it. Both were crazy. North- for Night. And Night? God knows and let him figure it out. It wasn't just a story. It was the truth. Bittersweet and very- obsessive. 'Love has no limitation. But North's love needed one, cuz it had to fight something worse- obsession.' With the truths to be revealed and the love that is forced... Will they ever get a happy ending? With one who desperately wants to keep the other, and the other who desperately wants to stay away from the one. The paths meet... Their story begins... with hate and unhealthy obsession. WARNING: THIS IS A DARK ROMANCE STORY.

Made For The Mafia (18+) (1 of 3)
'For The Mafia' Series - Book 1 of 3! ~~~ "Down on your knees." He lets go of my hair and pushes my shoulders down roughly, before unbuttoning and shrugging off his shirt. I kneel in front of him and instantly unbuckle his belt and unzip his black pants. He watches me eagerly from above, keeping his hands to his side, letting me lead. "Are you jealous when I flirt with those men for information?" I bat my eyes up at him innocently as I pull his pants down to his knees. His face hardens as he considers my question. "I don't like your hands on them." He grumbles and I smirk. I already knew the answer. "I do it for you, Enzo." I remind him as I move my mouth closer to him. "Only me." He growls as he pulls my head forward, closing the space between us. ~~~ When a dangerous mafia leader meets this particular stripper, he learns she is anything but. Both equally ruthless and thirsting for power, he hires her as his lethal interrogator and assassin, however she quickly becomes more when neither can resist each other. But can she learn how to truly care for one of the men she was taught to use? Can he control his jealousy long enough to take advantage of her tricks? Will she love him enough to share her biggest secret - who she really is? Read to find out!
