Lawless Hearts (Boys love)
When law student Lucas Parker witnesses a crime, he never expects to end up trapped in a remote cabin with both the sexy mafia boss responsible AND the hot-headed detective assigned to the case. Even less expected? The chemistry that ignites between all three of them. What starts as a convenient physical arrangement quickly becomes complicated as Vincent's criminal empire, Aron's police badge, and Lucas's legal ethics create a perfect storm of professional conflicts and personal desires. Between Vincent and Aron's explosive arguments (and equally explosive make-ups), Lucas's attempts at mediation, and their collective denial that feelings are involved, these three men are breaking every rule they set for themselves. As heated glances turn to lingering touches, and "just sex" turns into breakfast conversations and inside jokes, the truth becomes impossible to ignore: their hearts might be just as lawless as their arrangement.

Vendetta And Roses
Five years ago, the DeLuca family was torn apart. Pedro DeLuca, a name that once commanded power and respect, was gunned down in front of his wife-a brutal execution that sent his family into exile. That night, they lost more than a father; they lost their home, their legacy, and the life they once knew. But now, they're back. Roberto DeLuca, the eldest, steps into the city with the weight of vengeance on his shoulders. Towering, cold, and ruthless, he is here to reclaim everything that was stolen. Matteo, the reckless one, hides his anger behind easy laughter and indulgence, but his loyalty is unquestionable. And Rosa-the youngest, the untouchable princess of the family-has spent years under their protection, suffocating under their watchful eyes. But she is no longer a child. And the fire inside her is beginning to burn. The city they left behind has changed, but so have they. Alliances will be tested, betrayals will surface, and the DeLucas will stop at nothing to take back what is rightfully theirs. Because some ghosts don't rest. And some families don't forgive.
