Crimson Veil (Book I) by AEStag

In the bustling, modern metropolis of Valoria, magic flows beneath the surface, known only to a select few. For centuries, ancient families of magical bloodlines have controlled the city's fate, living among humans as powerful, secret societies. They have wealth, influence, and magic at their disposal. But what no one knows is that the source of their power comes from an ancient, forbidden ritual called the "Crimson Veil," which requires them to form unbreakable sexual bonds with those possessing rare magical traits. These bonds heighten their abilities and carry dangerous emotional and physical consequences, twisting love and desire into weapons. At the centre of this tangled web is Elena Ravenwood, a brilliant and ambitious journalist with no idea that she is the last of a forgotten bloodline-one that was destroyed in a bloody purge by the ruling magical families. When she stumbles upon a mysterious underground gathering, Elena's latent powers are awakened, and she quickly becomes the target of three powerful men, each from rival families: Meanwhile, a deadly prophecy comes to light: one that foretells that Elena, once fully awakened, will become the key to either restoring balance to the magical world or destroying it entirely. Her growing power ignites intense rivalries, and the line between love and hate blurs as she discovers that betrayal, passion, and magic are inextricably linked.

The Caged Rose by chipmuncks07

For Lorenzo Valenti, power is everything. Feared, respected, and utterly merciless, he rules the underworld with an iron fist. When he married Seraphina Moretti, it was supposed to be a fairy tale-until he discovered a damning secret about her past. A betrayal that shattered every ounce of love he had for her. Consumed by rage, he exiles Seraphina to his Sicilian estate, a sprawling palace surrounded by cliffs and guarded like a fortress. He refuses to see her, refuses to listen. Instead, he assigns his most trusted enforcer-Matteo Ricci-to watch over her. But Matteo is no ordinary bodyguard. He doesn't just want to protect her-he wants to possess her. He's a man with no conscience, no moral lines. And he wants Seraphina-badly. Where Lorenzo's cold indifference cuts her deep, Matteo's twisted obsession suffocates her. He likes to remind her that her husband abandoned her, that she is nothing more than a caged bird with clipped wings. He taunts her, isolates her, makes her feel like she's drowning. But Seraphina doesn't break. She still loves Lorenzo. Even after everything. And Lorenzo? He tells himself he doesn't care. That he feels nothing when he hears about how Matteo lingers too close, how Seraphina still refuses to bow. But the moment he learns the truth- that he's been punishing the only woman who ever truly loved him- Oh. He snaps. Now, there's only one thing left for him to do: Burn the world to the ground to get his wife back. But the damage is done. Seraphina might still love him.
