Alessio Romero, a business mogul. Renowned for his presence in the tech industry because of his age. A literal genius to discover a new stepping stone in the development of AI at the young age of 25. He's calculating and cold, self built and independent. Yet he finds himself depending on Amara Abelli, a woman tied to him by clauses and fine print yet no feelings. His contractual wife.
Amara Abelli, a trophy daughter.
'Sit up straight, smile, don't voice your opinion' words of her father which had become her daily mantra. Where most fall for the act that she puts up, Alessio seems to remain resistant to its effects, seeing right through her, looking at what he 'thinks' she is, an in-genuine hollow shell of a person.
A woman with no backbone, she is infuriating to come in contact with as it hurts his vertebrate logic.
It's a match made in hell, and not even repentance can save them from this blaze... until it can.

Adopting Mr. Beggar - (Mister Twister series Book 2)
"Marriage is like a rhythm of a sinking Titanic. You know it will sink; all you have to do is learn to swim and dance to that rhythm." What kind of philosophy is that? Does it even make sense? "Doesn't that prove that marriage is nothing but a danger?" She only smiled at me; very wisely albeit that I almost lost my remaining mind, "Not when you are in front of a television and watching Titanic movie instead of being a part of a sinking ship." I correct my words from before! Marriage in itself is not a danger. Marrying someone like this girl is a danger. I pity the person who wins her over!

She is crazy but still a psychologist, she is kind but still dangerous, she is a crying cure yet a smiling disease. Aegeus Ioannou, a beggar by day and usually by night too. He is mysterious, poor but smart, homeless but can make you speechless. He holds deepest secrets inside his heart that might turn the world upside down. What happens when a universal question mark meets a beggar with a questionable background? Follow the journey of a Beggar and his psycho with lots of chasing and choosing on their way!

Sacrifice For The Job
(This story is mostly smut as I plan on my next release being more innocent and lacking in that area. It also focuses very little on side characters since I wanted to keep the story short after feeling like my more recent stories have been a bit too long) After having the glow up of her dreams, Aria Hart finally believes she can get and do anything she wants. With that in mind, she goes after the job her ill uncle had always dreamt for her. She knows it will make him proud and believes pretty privilege will work in her favor. To her surprise, when she finally speaks to the man in charge, Elijah Caddel, she realizes that pretty privilege comes with a lot more opportunities than she previously imagined. Not all of them great. Aria finds herself in a deal she would have never imagined. One that actually makes her scowl upon hearing it. But when that deal can make or break her promise to her sick uncle, she feels she has no other choice but to accept it. After hearing the severity of the terms and experiencing it firsthand, Aria can't decide how she feels about their new agreement. Or how she feels about Elijah. (Similarly to "No Good For You", this story only details the start of their relationship. Not the during.) (Warning: this story is for readers 21+, intense smut scenes and language are included. Reader discretion advised.) (Story does switch POVs)Lengkap

NANOWRIMO 2019, LET'S GO! :) U.S Army veteran Alessio Milani never asked for the hand fate dealt him. He was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, which led him into the depths of NYC's criminal underground. Now, as director of the infamous smuggling and counterfeiting syndicate known as "The Flight," he commands respect from his people with a just but iron fist, operating with only a few cardinal rules: 1) Keep it clean. 2) No dealing in people. 3) Never touch women without their consent. Alessio takes care of violators personally. He never desired marriage. Considering his clandestine (and illegal) profession, the notion never crossed his mind. The less people known to be associated with him, the less individuals he puts at risk. He finds himself at the altar, however, with a shy bride because his best friend, Thaddeus Andino, asked Alessio to protect his niece...and, well, Alessio's instincts kicked in, and he couldn't say no. He doesn't know how he's going to make this work, and neither does Vasilisa Andino--nay, Vasilisa Milani. Alessio tries to keep her life separate from his as much as possible...but Murphy's law seems to rule differently. Only God knows what'll happen next.Lengkap
