Living in New York isn't all it's cracked up to be. After living in the Big City for nearly five years, the most Ida Farcao has achieved is attaining her Degree in Business from NYU. Working at a local coffee shop during the day and a waitress at a local Strip Club at night, barely able to make rent, Ida and her roommate Cassie assumed their life had hit a dead end. Of course, that was until one night, Ida was walking home from her shift at the club, and heard a Gun Shot in the alley. Luciano Di Marchi, Don of the Male Del Brenta, a hushed whisper in the streets that could send any criminal insane with fear. After a usual mission is interrupted by a civilian, he's left with no option but to take her and deal with her elsewhere. But Ida is talented and more useful to Luciano alive than dead, but when the lines between Business and Pleasure start to blur, things get dangerous. Especially when the Streets of New York become more dangerous than ever. Luciano DiMarchi, the Don of the Male Del Brenta, doesn't like being caught. So when a young civilian catches him mid-kill, the only thing he can do is take his murder tally up a notch. But he used his last bullet on the dead body now bleeding out on his floor. He's left with no choice but to kidnap her. But Ida is more than meets the eye, with hidden skills that can benefit Luciano just as much he can benefit her. When the line blurs between a job and romance, Ida gets more confused than ever before. This story is updated three times a week!

My Hot And Sexy But Also Slightly Disturbing Story With The Mafia Man by unagi_bxtch

"Okay, so I'm the type of girl that's spent most of her adolescent, hormonal years reading steamy stories on some reading app. My favourite type of books? Hot Italian Mafia books. Don't ask me why, but there's something about a spaghetti speaking drug lord that's always been so hot to me. I grew up in Canada, a country that doesn't have that much linguini speakers. My goal: When I'm eighteen, I'm moving to America, finding myself a hot mafia guy in New York and making him kidnapp me, and that's exactly what I did." Malia is a crazy, smart ass, optimistic nineteen year old. She finally moves to America to pursue her medical student dreams. She has a decent job, but it's not enough to pay for her student loans and rent, so she does what any other human being would do- borrows money from one of the biggest mafia families in New York. When she's unable to pay off her debt, she finds herself in a situation that fourteen year old Malia would've killed to be in: she's on the Italian Mafia's radar. The D'Angelo family is dangerous, filthy rich and of course, Italian. Luca D'Angelo is a smug, cocky, arrogant, sexy mob boss- so basically Malia's dream guy. When she gets kidnapped by Luca in order to pay back her debt, it's a sick, twisted, steamy dream come true for Malia Nelson. It's every clichè, comical, cringy situation that's ever happened in any mafia book, all crammed into this pile of shit. How bad can it be? Includes: DADDY KINK BDSM A HOT PIECE OF LASAGNA BOYXBOY EVEN THO THEY ACT LIKE THEY AINT GAY BUT WE ALL KNOW ITS LIES TEACHERXSTUDENT TEACHERXCOWORKER TEACHERXCLASSPET THE TEACHER IS FUCKING EVERYONE A BOOK FILLED WITH YOUR DEEPEST DARKEST SEXIEST FANTASIES Disclaimer: This is a parody of every Mafia book written on wattpad. Enjoy!

'You're not going anywhere, Clara. You're not running away from this.' Everything I felt for him, everything that could ruin me, raged to rip apart and crash at his feet. He gently lifted my chin with one finger, his mouth hovering over mine. 'I'm the last person in this world you can hide from. How many times do I have to remind you?' ⚠️ WHOLESOME & ANGSTY MAFIA ROMANCE ⚠️ After stealing his enemy's daughter, Daniel Volkov never expects to be the one who gets captivated. Clara Rossi was not afraid to fight back. Especially with Volkov, who provoked her like it was an art form. He was chaotic, cunning, and unpredictable. Not to mention, annoyingly charming and sometimes even thoughtful. Except none of that mattered. They had a fractured past. A hopeless future. And a million reasons to never be together. HEARTWARMING REVIEWS FROM MY READERS "This was everything for me, dark romances are sometimes so toxic and I don't understand the need of toxicity in them cuz they can be written beautifully like you wrote it. Starting with Volkov, he's a protector without being controlling, he listens to everyone and never exerts his power on anyone. And Clara, oh how I love her so much, she's such a strong person from the start. She was as much of a protector as Volkov was. This is gonna have a special place im my heart always ♥️" - Maddylewis998-" - This book is very different from what you'd expect a mafia romance or dark romance to be. Daniel was a like a fresh Breeze. He has issues but knows his boundaries. These are the men you want to be with. Gentlemen but know when to not be one. And our female MC. My girl has brains. Knows when to do what. Our girl knows what she wants." - Mierda_you

Her boss was itching to date her, saying if Emilie lost the contract she would have to date him to remain as an employee in his company. The folder was heavy, her arms were getting tired.
