ABOUT THE BOOK

Hazelda Gabriella Lombardi was once just a girl - soft-hearted, full of dreams, and a smile that could melt winter. Until the night everything was taken.

At seven, she was left with nothing but silence, blood, and the memory of the men who shattered her family and innocence. Now, under the merciless training of the Russian godfather Ivan Petrov, she's being remade - not into a girl again, but into a weapon.

They call her La Regina della Morte - the Queen of Death. But behind the title is a girl still learning how to breathe without breaking. Still learning how to fight without losing what's left of herself. As she edges closer to her victory, a complicated romance emerges, threatening to upend her singular focus.

Vengeance and Love is a story of survival through darkness, of pain turned into power. Of a girl becoming something the world fears, while quietly asking if there's still room for love inside all the rage. It's about what we lose to become strong - and what we fight to keep from being lost forever. Will her quest for revenge consume her, or will she find a way to heal and love again?

Dive into this gripping tale of mafia intrigue, suspense, and revenge.

## This story explores complex themes of trauma, revenge, and the power of love. The conflicts between Hazel's desire for vengeance and the redemptive force of love create a compelling narrative tension.

Sweet Riddle by anonymouswriter222

In our world, emotions are a weakness. A liability. A mistake. I learned that lesson young, watching my father rule with an iron fist, his heart nothing more than a rumor. I swore I'd never fall into the same trap-never let a woman tear me apart. And yet, here I am, standing at the altar, binding myself to a woman I barely know. A woman who despises me as much as I refuse to care for her. A contract. A deal. A promise sealed in blood. She is Katya Salifov-fierce, beautiful, and the daughter of my family's sworn enemy. And I am Ivan Yozhikov-heir to an empire built on violence, betrayal, and fear. This marriage isn't about love. It's about power. Control. Survival. But no matter how much I lock my heart away, something about her chips at the ice in my veins. A fire in her eyes that tempts me to break my own rules. And in this life, temptation is just another word for destruction. Welcome to our world. Where vows are made in blood, love is a dangerous game, and betrayal is the only truth.

Melancholy by justmikame

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.

The Heart Wants What It Wants by JBCHANGES94

❝ She wanted a fresh start, He wanted normalcy, But their past had other plans. ❞ ~~~ For the majority of her life, Gabriella had to endure all the things a child should never have to experience. After nearly two years of planning to start afresh, she decides moving three thousand miles away from her past, and restricting the memories of her past life to her hometown would be for the best. Even if it meant forgetting the boy who'd left her for dead after she'd given him her heart. Her life seems to be looking up when she starts falling for Hunter; the pretty boy she never intended to like. But when her past comes trailing along in the form of a person she thought she'd lost forever, her entire world she started to build starts crumbling beneath her. Slowly, she starts remembering bits and pieces of the past she thought she'd left in her old life. And the people she thought she could trust her heart with seem to be the people who are out to rip it to pieces. Does forgiveness come easy when the ones we gave our heart to are the ones who will break it without a second thought? After all, they say the heart wants what it wants, but does betrayal and heartbreak make the heart reach out farther? ~~~ A story of love, heartbreak, and betrayal... How far would you go for the people you love? { Book One in The Heart's Duet } Copyright © Lindi W. All Rights Reserved.

"Touch me, Blaze... and you'll remember me every time something beautiful dies." -- She was the only sin he'd die to confess. So he destroyed his kingdom for her absolution. -- 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫. Power built their world. Power destroyed it. She pulled the trigger that turned his hate into a kingdom of fire, and now fate binds them to the same war. Hate keeps them sharp. Hate keeps them alive. But hate is just another mask for power. And when it cracks, they'll both discover the cost of letting go. -- In a city ruled by blood and silence, some names are spoken only in whispers. New York breathes violence like smoke-its kings crowned in crime, its peace bought in bodies. Blaze Marino, heir to a fractured Italian empire, doesn't believe in myths. He believes in control. In power. In pain as currency. But when a woman with white hair and a scar like prophecy crashes a masquerade of monsters, everything changes. She moves like fire. Vanishes like smoke. Leaves no name, no trail-just destruction and desire. And with her, the game changes. As alliances crack and old ghosts crawl from the shadows, Blaze finds himself caught between revenge and something far more dangerous: curiosity. Obsession. A pull he can't explain. They say saints die young. But what if she was never a saint at all? And if she was- maybe she always knew how her story would end.

The Thorned Rose by Princess10012345

When a cold-hearted assassin who has suppressed every single emotion, kills someone the Mafia didn't want dead, there is a slight battle for power, but when Don Sandrino, the head of part of the mafia, realises the man she killed was evil, he starts searching for her, wanting the infamous 'Thorned Rose' assassin on his side to try and take back his birthright of being the boss of bosses that his uncle stole away from him. Savannah is bored as an assassin working for a company, just killing random politicians, and wants something exciting, and that something is in the form of Don Sandrino. There is drama, tragedy, fighting and romance littering every chapter. The only thing is, Savannah doesn't know how to love, she has suppressed that emotion, along with every single other emotion, and she doesn't know who she really is as she has had to live under alias names for so long, always pretending to be someone else. She just does not know who the real Savannah is. Can Don Sandrino pull it out of her? Can he make her love again? Or will their dysfunctional romance end in death and heartbreak? *** "You know, anyone who calls me Fabricio usually ends up dead, or really hurt, anyone who dares call me Pugliesi gets their tongue chopped off and forced to swallow it, then they die," said a voice from behind me. "Well, Fabricio Sandrino Pugliesi Russo, what are you going to do to me now?" I asked, raising one of my eyebrows. "Is playing chicken one of your favourite games?" he asked, laughing. "Yes, because I always win." He laughed again. What the fuck is going on? I never make people laugh, well I never have anyone around to talk to except Nadia, who never laughs at anything, but still. "I'm waiting for you to chop my tongue out, Fabricio," I was toying with him, seeing whether his threats were real. *** THIS IS AN ACTION ROMANCE, WITH GRUESOME SCENES AND SEXUAL SCENES.

And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -Mature scenes/18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "At first, I was hesitant to read because the reader count is low, but after I read your story, I can't believe this amazing story is not reaching a lot of readers." - @apriltask

In the House That Hates Her by Shweta545

*serious editing is going on* She married a stranger who promised forever-unaware it was all a lie crafted to destroy her. Elena Bianchi, the gentle daughter of a powerful Italian politician, returns to Florence hoping to build a new life far from her family's tainted legacy. But fate has other plans when she crosses paths with Adrian Moretti-a man so charismatic, so precise in his affection, that she falls hopelessly in love. What she doesn't know is that Adrian is her enemy. Behind his warm smiles and tender kisses is a heart consumed by rage. Years ago, his sister was assaulted and silenced by men connected to the Bianchi name-and Elena's existence is now his weapon of revenge. With the full support of his cruel and twisted family, Adrian marries her... only to drag her into a nightmare. After the wedding, the truth unravels. She's beaten, starved, isolated-treated worse than a servant in her own home. And when whispers of a fate mirroring Adrian's sister begin to surface, Elena realizes she may not survive this marriage. But something begins to shift. Adrian starts to see the innocence in her eyes, the kindness in her broken smile-and guilt claws at his soul. Now he must choose: destroy the woman he once vowed to ruin, or risk everything, even his family's wrath, to save her. In a world built on betrayal and blood, can love survive the weight of vengeance?
