Kristina Miller witnessed a Russian mafia execution right after her diving rounds as one of the Poseidon Hotel's staff. This event leads her into meeting the Russian godfather, Lucas Romano. The next thing she knew, a gun is about to blow her head off - or so she thought.
A tsunami hit a coastal city, trapping a group of people inside the newly opened Poseidon Hotel situated 50 meters down the surface. Kristina along with Lucas and his men are swept off inside the hotel together with three tourists and four hotel staff, but it turns out that they have room for one more guest.
What was once a hotel for the elite becomes an inescapable death trap along with a 12-foot great white shark.
Will they be able to find their way out when they are 161 meters submerged in water together with an apex predator?
What will Kristina think of the ruthless mafia godfather when his foul words contradict his action every time he helps her?

Saved By My Kidnapper
Alyssa Daniels thought she wasn't going to survive the night she decided to go for a late night swim. Alone, so she thought, went out for a swim in a nearby lake. As she swam, she heard gun fire close by in the woods. She looked closer as a figure was walking through the woods. Waiting until she thought they had left, she got out and started running back to her car. Right before she reached her car, a hand reached out and pulled her back into the shadows of the trees. The hand stayed over her mouth as she watched people surround and look inside her car. Swaying, she snapped a twig grabbing the attention of the people near her vehicle. The person holding her quickly reacted by pulling her behind him as he ran through the woods. They ran past more people with guns and into a vehicle waiting for them. Thinking she's safe and now allowed to go home, she sighs. That's far from the truth.Complete

His Possession
His Possession. Mafia Romance. Dark Romance. Enemies To Lovers. "Let me go!" I seethed through gritted teeth. I felt an uncontrollable amount of fear rake over my body. I soon began to shake. The fear that I just barely managed to suppress earlier is now clawing its way back up to the surface, rearing its ugly head once again, and hits ten times harder than before. The sensation is literally paralyzing. The feeling totally bypassing 'fight' or 'flee' and going straight to freeze. I feel like yacking up all that greasy food I had eaten during my shift at the diner. But I swallow the urge to do so and grit my teeth. Trust me, I wanted nothing more than to yack all over this pretentious douche. "Sorry kitten, not ever going to fucking happen." He said carelessly as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. His eyes were fixed on the dark road ahead of us, the road I surely didn't want to die on. Before I could even finish forming a coherent thought, the car swerved hard to the side of the road and comes to a sudden stop, sending me flying into the dash. My forehead collides with the smooth leather of the dashboard. I hear him rustling around, but can't see much due to the black spots in my vision. You know, from literally eating the dash. I hear the sound of something popping open and then liquid being poured. "Tell me kitten," I hear him say slyly. "Does this smell like chloroform?" He chuckles as he reaches across the console to press a rag to my face. Emily Watts, twenty years old and living alone in LA, due to her parents being drunken assholes. She had barely any money to her name, and worked at a small diner, trying to earn some money. Emily's life was in a constant loop, work and sleep.
