Francesca Visconti is a beautiful girl who's able to charm those with her quick wit and unseen intelligence hidden between the layers of thick unruly red hair.

In the easiest terms to explain, he's a plain bastard. But everything changes when the two are brought together through the classic means of an arranged marriage. Though with a rake like Giovanni, will Francesca ever feel happiness? Even when he's touching another woman a few rooms next door?

Crimson Ties by HanDakin27

In a world where power is currency and fear is the crown, Luca DeMarco reigns supreme. Cold, ruthless, and unyielding, he's built his empire on the bones of his enemies. When Vincent Carmine's debts come due, Luca claims the only payment worth collecting-his daughter, Isabelle. But Isabelle Carmine is no ordinary mafia princess. Trained in secret since childhood and harbouring dark truths about her family's past, she enters Luca's world not as a victim, but as a force to be reckoned with. Their arranged marriage is meant to be a simple power play, a consolidation of empire through submission. Neither expects the fire that ignites between them-a dangerous attraction that threatens to consume everything in its path. As ancient prophecies surface and old enemies emerge from the shadows, Luca and Isabelle find themselves at the centre of a storm centuries in the making. Their union has awakened something powerful, something that could either save or destroy the underworld as they know it. Their son, Marco, born under a blood moon and marked by destiny, becomes both a blessing and a target. Together with Aurora, a child of shadow and silver, he represents a future that terrifies those clinging to the old ways. From the glittering canals of Venice to the ancient catacombs beneath Rome, "Crimson Ties" weaves a dark and sensual tale of power, prophecy, and the kind of love that transforms enemies into allies and arrangements into destiny. In this dangerous game of loyalty and betrayal, Luca and Isabelle must decide what matters more-the empire they're building or the legacy they'll leave behind. Because in their world, even love comes with a price, and some ties are meant to bind forever. A story of passion, power, and prophecy, "Crimson Ties" reimagines the mafia romance genre with a supernatural twist, proving that the greatest revolution isn't in the streets or the boardrooms, but in the heart.

Inferno of Sin by fearamzi

Introduction In the shadows of power and privilege, desire becomes a dangerous game. Alessandra Vittori had built her life on control-of her image, her career, and her emotions. As Italy's most sought-after publicist, she was untouchable, crafting legends and salvaging reputations with a single stroke of her brilliance. But when she steps into the orbit of Vincenzo DeLuca, the enigmatic heir to a ruthless mafia dynasty, her carefully curated world begins to unravel. Vincenzo is no ordinary man. Cold, calculating, and untouchable, he is a predator in a tailored suit, with the power to shape the world-and destroy anyone who defies him. Drawn to Alessandra's fire and resistance, he sees in her a challenge, an opportunity to bend the unbendable. For Alessandra, he represents everything she swore to avoid: chaos, danger, and an unrelenting pull she can't escape. Their worlds collide in a dark dance of seduction, where every touch blurs the lines between obsession and surrender, between love and control. In the twisted corridors of power, they must navigate the thin line between betrayal and trust, even as the stakes grow higher-and deadlier. In the end, who will dominate, and who will be consumed by the shadows?

Burn Me, Break You by authorhyq

"In a game of power, passion, and revenge... who will break first?" --------------------------------------------------------- Bound to a chair, Sophia glares at Vittorio, her defiance of a spark in the oppressive darkness. He circles her like a predator, his sharp eyes drinking in her fury and vulnerability. His voice, smooth and venomous, drops to a whisper as he leans in, trapping her between his towering frame and the cold reality of her situation. "You can struggle all you want, doll," he murmurs, his hand grazing her jaw with cruel precision. "But I always break my toys." Sophia's jaw tightened as she saw his arrogant smirk. "Do it." --------------------------------------------------------- She was fire-untamed, unbroken, and dangerously close to consuming him whole. He was the storm-ruthless, relentless, and determined to make her his. Bound by revenge and torn by an attraction neither can control, Sophia and Vittorio must walk the fine line between destroying each other and falling too deep. But in a world where betrayal is inevitable and love is a weapon, only one question remains... Who will burn, and who will break? What do you think? Want it darker, softer, or even more intense?

Irresistible Sin... by Aynahha

Eva never thought her father's decision to send her to live with her uncle Damien for college would turn her world upside down. The distance from home seemed ideal at first-until she stepped into Damien's house and realized how dangerously close she would be to the one man who had always been a constant in her life. Damien, a successful and charismatic businessman, has always seen Eva as family-but that was before she grew into a stunning, independent woman. Now, every glance, every touch between them feels charged with an electric tension neither can deny. Forbidden desire simmers beneath the surface, threatening to consume them both. As the days pass, their attraction intensifies in ways that neither can control. What starts with heated glances and lingering moments quickly escalates into something far more dangerous. Torn between guilt and longing, they find themselves unable to resist the burning desire pulling them closer. Each stolen moment feels like a sin, but it's one they can't walk away from. Caught in a web of passion, secrecy, and a love that defies everything they've ever known, Eva and Damien must face the inevitable question: Can they fight the pull of their irresistible desire, or will they surrender to it, no matter the cost?
