The serpent by Bella-Serpente

Genre: Dark Romance • Mafia • Enemies to Lovers • Slow Burn • Psychological Thriller Tone: Moody, intimate, and cinematic - think danger and desire intertwined. Set in Italy's criminal underworld, where every secret costs blood and every touch burns. ⸻ In a city where loyalty is death and love is the ultimate weakness, two killers must decide what they're willing to destroy-and who they're willing to save. She came to end his life. He might be the one to save hers. Setting Modern-day Naples, Italy. The world of The Serpent is drenched in shadows-grand villas on the Amalfi coast hiding brutal empires. The air smells of salt, smoke, and secrets. It's both beautiful and dangerous: marble halls with blood beneath the floorboards. Main Characters: Lilith Haynes - 17. An assassin-for-hire known for her silence and precision. She's covered in tattoos-each one marking a kill or a memory-and bears a scar across her back, a souvenir from escaping her abusive father. Outwardly composed, inwardly fractured, Lilith uses violence as control. She hides a deep capacity for love behind a wall of ice and sarcasm. Her code: Don't get attached. Don't get caught. Don't feel. But Cameron Nikolai will unravel all three. Cameron Nikolai - 18. Mafia don of the Nikolai Syndicate. Of mixed Italian and Russian descent, Cameron is a paradox-brutal and calculating in business, but deeply loyal to those he protects. His empire was built on revenge after his family's slaughter years ago. He's charming, strategic, and dangerous; he laughs easily but trusts no one.

ECHOES OF THE HIDDEN PAST AND THE UNSEEN CONNECTIONS by Seraphic_Chaos

"They said the past dies with time. But in our world... the past never dies. It waits. It hunts. It whispers in every silence." The night it all began was not with gunfire or betrayal- but with a knock on the door of the Zydani mansion. Maheer didn't know stepping across that mansion would bind her to two brothers-one who hated her, and one who silently guarded her. She didn't know the walls carried secrets older than her existence.

And she would uncover the truth- that blood is never just blood, and love is never just love. Because in the end, it was never about who she could trust. It was about who wanted her alive... and who was waiting for her to fall. Maheer thought she was just another guest... until she became the center of a game woven in lies, betrayal, and forbidden desires. Every connection hides a truth. Every truth hides a betrayal. And when masks fall, she'll discover the deadliest secret of all- the one that binds her to Zain

Knife's Edge by moxie_writes

With a drug lord for a father and an addict for a mother, Jade Taylor was dealt a pretty shabby hand in life.

🔞Wanted The Outlaw🔞 by RosieSharpe

Some fires don't burn out - they become you. Jane was born in the dust of the Nebraska Territory, baptized in violence and raised beneath the boot of the God-fearing congregation. By the time she's a woman, she's no stranger to pain - or to running. Branded a criminal, hunted across the West, she trusts no one. Especially not men with law badges and silver tongues. Until she meets him. The sheriff is steady, haunted, too good for the territory that bred him. Without realising she is the outlaw that he's tracking, he offers her shelter during a storm - nothing more. But Jane has survived by reading men like maps, and she sees it in him: desire, reined in tight. Jane stepped closer. The sheriff's walls were plastered with her crimes - wanted posters, notes, crude sketches of her own face. And now Jane stood between them and the man hunting her. He'd brought whiskey. She smiled. "Tryin' to get me drunk, Sheriff?" His chuckle was slow. "Just bein' decent." She moved closer, each step a gamble. If he saw the posters in the lamplight, he'd surely recognise her. No. She had to keep him looking at her. Only her. A button slipped free. The sheriff's jaw tightened. "You don't have to do that." "I know," she said, and closed the last inch between them. It began slow, a breath shared, a thread pulled taut - then it snapped. His mouth met hers, rough and unrelenting. There was no tenderness, only heat. Her back hit the wall, her shirt slipped, and his hands roamed like fire. She had used her body as a weapon before. But this was surrender, too - fury and need burning under her skin. Outside, the storm battered the shutters. But the real storm was here. And through it all, Jane kept her eyes on the wanted posters above the bed. Her own face stared back. Wanted: The Outlaw is a work of historical fiction that dangles religion, redemption, and extremely steamy romance on the end of the hangman's rope.

Shadowbound Hearts by varshinitae3

Elara Vance (22) exchanged one prison for another. After years of quiet endurance, the desperate night she fought back and killed her abusive father landed her in Blackwell Penitentiary. Out of place, fragile, and marked by trauma, she craves the anonymity of the stone walls-but anonymity is a luxury Blackwell doesn't afford. The man who truly runs this world of steel and concrete is Asher 'Reyes' Thorne (27). He's an incarcerated crime lord, a kingpin serving multiple life sentences for calculated murders, whose influence flows like a cold current through every cell block. When Asher sees Elara-the quiet, defiant woman with fire in her eyes, jailed for justifiable violence-he doesn't see a victim; he sees a kindred spirit he intends to own. Their relationship begins as a terrifying contract: Asher offers her absolute protection from the brutality of the guards and the cruelty of the inmates. In return, she owes him only her attention. But in the confined, suffocating space of Blackwell, proximity is poison. Their tense, transactional meetings-whispered words across the common room, charged silence in the visiting booths-quickly ignite into a desperate, forbidden need. Elara begins to chip away at the monster, discovering the strategic intelligence and fierce loyalty beneath the calculated darkness. Asher, in turn, finds his iron control shattered by the fragile defiance of the one person he can't truly cage. Shadowbound Hearts is the story of two souls defined by violence, finding dangerous comfort in the one place they are most exposed. In a place where freedom is impossible, they must decide if their forbidden love is the ultimate act of rebellion, or the final, irreversible surrender to the shadows.
