Never Have I Ever (Games We Play, #1)
What if Romeo and Juliet never fell in love at first sight, but slowly, without knowing each other's family histories? And what if the Montagues and the Capulets weren't noble families, but cruel crime families? Never Have I Ever is a dual-POV character-driven contemporary novel with romance and crime elements. It is the first one of the Games We Play series. It reimagines the doomed-romance-because-of-rival-families of Romeo & Juliet, in a contemporary setting similar to the Daisy Haites series, and blends it with the moral conflict and family dynamics of the Godfather, where the internal character struggle between self and legacy slowly (but ultimately) leads to moral decay. *In the summer of 2019, the sheltered daughter of a Russian oligarch meets the gilded heir of the Sicilian underworld, sparking an attraction that will test their loyalties and awaken buried grudges.* Rule #1: The game of power is won by those brave enough to play it ---- A slow burn mafia romance series, in which the heirs of two rival crime families are drawn into the deadly game for power, in a world where loyalty is written in blood, secrets are currency, and love is a liability. Very loosely based on the idea of a mix between Romeo & Juliet and The Godfather, aka there are two rival families with two rival heirs who do (eventually) fall in love for real, all while struggling with the realities of being born into a crime dynasty.

From enemies to lovers, their fiery hate turns into an all-consuming passion _________________ His fingers came to my chin, forcing me to look at him. "Queen," he murmured, his voice dark, "you wanted to die?" I didn't answer. I just stared at him. He smiled-cold, cruel. "I see. Your mouth isn't working now, is it?" My jaw tightened painfully. Then he leaned closer, his grip firm, his voice dropping to a whisper- "You want to die... but I won't let you." My breath hitched. "You don't get to die unless I allow it." For a second, my mind went blank. I just looked at him. Is he even in his right mind? His hold loosened just enough for me to breathe. My eyes drifted to the edge of the cliff. To the drop. His arms were still around me-loose... but there. I took a deep, shaky breath. "And if I decide," I said quietly, "that I don't care what you allow?" The satisfaction on his face disappeared. I pulled away from him. Without another word, I walked back to the car and got inside. ________ MATURE THEMES #9 feminine #22 lust 🥈 #34 rich #279 billionaire #90 hatelove #149 forced marriage #586 mafia #746 slowburn #203 hate #199 hope #28 sick #28 matureaudience #28 maturelanguage #151 couples #39 maturethemes #203 hatelove
Marked By Sin
She's the daughter of his enemy. He's the man who destroyed the last piece of her mother's memory. Iris Volkov built a company, an empire with grace, grit, and a fire forged by betrayal. She escaped her family's blood-stained legacy-but never its chains. One man. One careless, cold-blooded man-shattered the only thing she vowed to protect. Now, she carries that hatred like a second skin. Silas Draven Romano doesn't make mistakes. He eliminates them. Crowned emperor of the Romano empire, his silence speaks violence, and mercy is not in his blood. But when a furious hurricane wrapped in blue eyes and venomous grace costs him a years-long target, she earns a place on his blacklist-and maybe under his skin. They're not lovers. They're not allies. They're two storms on a collision course-violent, unforgiving, and bound by a past soaked in secrets. Hatred is the game. Obsession is the weapon. And love? That was never in the plan.Lengkap

With her sharp wit and dangerous beauty, she's everything Nikolai has no patience for-loud, unrestrained, untouchable. They despise each other. They challenge each other. They burn every time they collide. But when circumstances force them together, their clashing worlds become a dangerous game of power and temptation. She refuses to be broken. He refuses to lose control. And somewhere between the hatred, the reckless defiance, and the brutal truths, lies a pull neither of them can escape. Enemies. Opposites. A fire that could destroy them both- or forge something even darker.Lengkap
