☆ ᴡᴀᴛᴛʏꜱ 2024 SHORTLISTER!! ☆

A tragic misunderstanding. A murder. A secret. An unlikely partnership. A spirited countess and an enterprising racketeer.

~~~

Manchester, England. May 1925.

The Roarin' 20s. An era of glamor, decadent parties, jazz music, flowing booze, and opulent wealth. Possibilities are endless. Anyone can be a success, even families once seen as working class. But beneath the glittering exterior lies a world of corruption, prejudice, and civil unrest.

When the disappearance of a Russian refugee brings Countess Rose Sinclair to the doorstep of known racketeer William Mercer, neither party is prepared for the significant changes a single encounter can inspire.

Blackmailed by William into employment, Rose receives a swift and unwanted education regarding a side of the class struggle she has never before experienced.

As she unwillingly ventures deeper into the precarious world of the Mercer family and their notorious gang the Deansgate Streeters, Rose finds herself torn between her moral compass, her suppressed rebellious youth, her growing love for a motherless toddler, and her mounting attraction for William, a man she has every reason to despise.

The Collector by UkCece

18+ Contains adult scenes (violence and sex) The Canossa family don't call themselves gangsters they just have a "family business" and if you make a deal Matteo will make sure to collect. Sophie is an English lawyer working for an international firm when she comes across the handsome Mr Canossa but she has a feeling there is something that is not quite right. I don't put warnings for chapters with sexual content. I think it ruins the flow of stories. Short chapters. Excerpt: (18+) *I feel the tensing of her body, "That's right come for me" I order her in a low voice feeling the spasms of her orgasm around my fingers. Slowing my pace to let her ride it out.

The King of New York {1} by dwliterature

UNEDITED WATTPAD VERSION! (This is the arguably rubbish version, ye be warned.) Includes a sample of the published version as well *** Life would be so much easier if he wasn't around, but even I couldn't deny that my life seemed to truly begin since his arrival. Had Lucifer truly been kicked out of heaven because of his own cravings for power, or had he fled after realizing his true happiness lied elsewhere, in a darker atmosphere? In this world, there is strictly no good or bad, no clear right or wrong. We make poor decisions, hoping it will prove worthy in the end. When it does, we never look back, but when it doesn't, it tears us apart like ravaged hell hounds. Perhaps we're all the product of Lucifer and God alike. Born from beauty only to fall to desire. *** When young baker Rosaria Castellanos is offered a chance to pay her parent's debts to the infamous Romano mafia family by a simple favor, she takes it in a heartbeat. Everyone expected a happy italian wedding, with too much wine to handle and lots of singing. Cater pastries, and don't die? Sounds easy enough. Nobody expected her to catch the eye of the young boss, Giovanni Romano, nicknamed 'The King of New York' for good reason. Unknowingly bound to the mafia by birthright, introduced by a dangerous love, Rosaria's identity will soon be forged. An unlikely heroine, imperfect and anxious, must grow through struggles and gang violence to save those around her. In even the darkest of places, love can bloom. Perhaps even in the mafia. - Side note: Warning: mature sexual scenes, swearing, violence ✨Milestones ✨ Featured on Wattpad's Dangerouslove profile #3 in Thrill -9/7/20 #32 in Mature -9/7/20 #42 in Mafia -3/10/20 #45 in Love -9/7/20 ~ Dates ~ WP Start: October 19th 2019 Finished: December 1st 2020 Published: February 14th 2021

Facade by polluxo

Alejandra Martinez had the perfect life until she lost her mom and childhood to a violent tragedy that she witnessed. As a result, her dad fell into many patterns of abuse, leaving her to deal with the aftermath of it all. She continued life as best as she could with little hope for anything and trust in absolutely nothing, turning into someone her mother wouldn't recognize, doing whatever she needs to do to cope as well as to protect herself. During her junior year at Lower East Side High School, she meets Gabriel Santiago. He's known throughout the halls for his association with the most dangerous gang in the city, as well as his ice cold demeanor, all at the age of 17. He's as heartless as it gets - at least that's what everyone thinks. The two know nothing about each other. Despite this, they still find reasons to dislike one another. But as time goes on, and they continue to cross paths, something changes. Both begin to realize that there's a whole different side of the other that nobody knows about, yet it's the side that they might not hate about one another. That's what makes it even more complicated. As they each dig deeper past the facade the other has created over the years, it becomes dangerous for everyone involved.

Finding freedom and peace with her kidnapper wasn't something Jade was ready for. Entangled with each other, their forbidden and illicit love will be tested to the limit and force them to make impossible choices. ✅Dual POV ❤️Forbidden love 💥Botched kidnapping 🔪Revenge 🖕Jealous exes 💀Touch her and die 👅Sex tape ***** "You're such a bad man. You're corrupting me, a good girl...in every possible way." She whispered so gently and grabbed my cock harder, making my eyes roll into the back of my head. This was undeniably true. I continued my exploration of her body, just gently, barely touching her hot skin and running my hand down her stomach so I could just linger on the band of her flimsy little panties and watch in the mirror how much she enjoyed it. "Your touch..." she turned to whisper into my lips, "feels so delicate...just the way I like it." Mmm fuck, no other woman had ever titillated my senses the way Jade seemed to so easily do. "But tonight...touch me like you own me." Jade spoke quietly about it. "Fuck me...like you own me." She pleaded. "Is that what you want, baby? To give all yourself to me?" I pushed it further and she grabbed me harder. "Yes. I want everything...with you." ***** ‼️This is an ADULT novel, only 18+. ❤️ [MATURE CONTENT 18+] Mafia and crime affiliation, explicit sexual content, mention and description of domestic abuse, profanity, violence, mention of murder, rape, and description of torture, etc. All Rights Reserved 2024 ©RJ7654

Tied to a Castillo I 18+ by spiritualhottie

Things are completely different with Sam and Natalie. With the tragedy he had to endure while also losing the woman he still believes to be the love of his life, things were far from easy. There's a wedge that drives into many upon his return when he shows up at her doorstep, Natalie's focus shifted with the troubles that threatened to follow. *this is a SEQUEL and the first few chapters are small time jumps because of where the first book ended* *don't necessarily have to read book 1 to read book 2, but I do suggest reading book 1 to get a better understanding*
