Nina, a talented architect whose life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with Alessio, a quiet, mysterious mafia leader with a dangerous past. 

Nina's world is built on trust, professionalism, and order-until she's pulled into a world of secrets and betrayal when her brother Stefan, unknowingly caught in the mafia's grip, introduces her to Alessio.

Alessio is everything Nina never expected: cold, calculating, and distant. Yet, he carries the scars of a tragic past-the death of his mother and the betrayal of his first love, Victoria, who left him when he was at his lowest . His past haunts him, and he keeps everyone at arm's length, especially Nina. She's someone he's never met before, she's someone he crosses his own lines for her. 

But as the lines between their worlds blur, the connection between them becomes unbeatable .

Despite Alessio's behavior , Nina begins to see the soft, vulnerable side of him that he hides so carefully. As danger looms over them, their relationship deepens, testing Nina's loyalty and trust. 

Can she continue to live in the shadows of Alessio's world, or will the truth about his past-and her own family's ties-tear them apart?

In this thrilling story of love, loyalty, and danger, Nina will have to decide if she can truly trust the man who could destroy everything she's built-or if he's the one person who could help her rebuild it all.

Hi guys! 🥰 I'm so thankful for all the sweet comments on my first draft! This is the second draft of my book, and I completely rewrote it ✨ I really hope it's even better than the first and that you enjoy it 💖 If you see anything I could add, fix, or make better, please tell me-I take your feedback to heart 💌 When two powerful families unite in a marriage of convenience, sparks of strategy, tension, and forbidden emotion ignite. Estella Moretti is poised to inherit her father's empire, a woman sharp, ambitious, and fiercely independent. Malakai Moretti, a calculating heir to a world both luxurious and dangerous, enters her life as a husband-but also as a partner in business, power, and influence. Their marriage begins with formality and distance, a delicate dance of boundaries and unspoken curiosity. But as they navigate gala appearances, high-stakes meetings, and the merging of two vast empires, Estella discovers that Malakai's interest is more than strategic. Thoughtful gestures, secret letters, and quiet moments of care begin to unravel her defenses-though she is still learning how to trust, and to feel. With her brother Easton watching closely, protecting and guiding her, Estella must balance her growing reliance on Malakai with the lessons of her past. As the two of them emerge as a power couple, publicly unstoppable and privately close, one question remains: can a marriage built for business survive-and even thrive-when hearts are finally involved? A story of ambition, love, and loyalty, where trust is earned, boundaries are respected, and the strongest alliances are forged not only in power, but in the quietest moments between two people.

Melancholy

47 parts Complete Mature

Elena Romano, a fierce and unyielding lawyer, becomes the only person who can keep Tristan Valenti, a notorious and untouchable mafia kingpin, out of prison. But as she's drawn deeper into his dangerous world, she discovers that the battle isn't just about saving him from the law-it's about saving him from himself. Yet in breaking every rule she's sworn to uphold, Elena risks losing more than her morals-she risks losing her heart to the man who might be beyond redemption. Melancholy - a bittersweet ache that lingers in the soul, like the taste of wine that's both bitter and intoxicating. It's the quiet storm of longing and loss, woven with moments of beauty so fleeting they hurt. Just like what Elena and Tristan want-something so consuming, it borders on destruction. Their love is jagged yet tender, a sanctuary wrapped in shadows where passion wars with despair. It's the sharp edges of love, the bruises of trust, and the haunting allure of wanting what might ruin you, yet never being able to let it go.
