He grabs my wrist, pulling me towards him, so hard that I hit his chest. He puts his other hand gently under my chin, forcing me to look up into his gray eyes. He lowers his mouth to my right ear, and coldly whispers, "You know I've killed people, right?"  

I look up into his dark eyes, and say with a slight chuckle, " You're lucky I'm not working your case."

Amara DaCosta, recently passing the Bar exam, is starting her job at Lincoln's Law Firm, one of the biggest Law firms in Chicago. One day, Amara and her new partner, Isabel Lopez, are assigned to one of the most complex cases the firm has seen, and ever since then, her life and career have been in danger. 

Luciano Costello is what one would call, the Black Swan of the Costello Family, one of the most dangerous families in Chicago from Sicily. He doesn't want to be feared because of who his family is. He wants to be feared because he is a cold killer. Don't misunderstand him though, unlike his family, he only kills those who harm his clients. He is a bodyguard, after all.

The serpent by Bella-Serpente
18 parts Complete Mature
Genre: Dark Romance • Mafia • Enemies to Lovers • Slow Burn • Psychological Thriller Tone: Moody, intimate, and cinematic - think danger and desire intertwined. Set in Italy's criminal underworld, where every secret costs blood and every touch burns. ⸻ In a city where loyalty is death and love is the ultimate weakness, two killers must decide what they're willing to destroy-and who they're willing to save. She came to end his life. He might be the one to save hers. Setting Modern-day Naples, Italy. The world of The Serpent is drenched in shadows-grand villas on the Amalfi coast hiding brutal empires. The air smells of salt, smoke, and secrets. It's both beautiful and dangerous: marble halls with blood beneath the floorboards. Main Characters: Lilith Haynes - 17. An assassin-for-hire known for her silence and precision. She's covered in tattoos-each one marking a kill or a memory-and bears a scar across her back, a souvenir from escaping her abusive father. Outwardly composed, inwardly fractured, Lilith uses violence as control. She hides a deep capacity for love behind a wall of ice and sarcasm. Her code: Don't get attached. Don't get caught. Don't feel. But Cameron Nikolai will unravel all three. Cameron Nikolai - 18. Mafia don of the Nikolai Syndicate. Of mixed Italian and Russian descent, Cameron is a paradox-brutal and calculating in business, but deeply loyal to those he protects. His empire was built on revenge after his family's slaughter years ago. He's charming, strategic, and dangerous; he laughs easily but trusts no one.
Clan of the Damned by vanillacoffeewrites
17 parts Ongoing
Saar has been a part of the Beaumont family ever since they took her in after her parents' death when she was just five years old. Growing up, she never felt like she fully belonged, especially because of the Beaumonts' world that consisted of power, influence, and the ever present violence. What happens when the 'lost' eldest son of the family finally decides to show up? Will he and Saar get along? Will Saar find out the truth about her parents and find her place in the world of intrigues and violence she was forcefully thrown into? She had spent two years convincing herself that if she was never to see him again, she would be okay. It was easier than the howling hope, confused longing and pondering the endless what ifs. Easier than admitting to herself the odd frequency at which he appeared in her thoughts. It was easier to push it all away. Her entire life, he had been a gust of smoke, a constant in her life but never truly there. A myth. Two years ago, when he came back like an unexpected storm, the illusion of him was suddenly becoming real, taking a form. But it had vanished just as quickly as it came with him gone again, leaving her even emptier and more rattled than before. But now, standing there, his eyes wandered all over her as if checking for all the things he remembered, all the things that stayed the same and those that changed. Drinking her in just like she was desperate to take in all of him, afraid he would disappear in a blink if she didn't.

21 parts Ongoing Mature

Alessia Rossi has spent her entire life behind gilded walls - the overprotected daughter of one of Italy's most feared mafia leaders. Her days are suffocating, her nights stolen in secret escapes into the city, searching for slivers of freedom. But freedom comes at a price. When an unknown threat targets Alessia, her father hires Camelia Esposito, a cold and mysterious enforcer from his past - a woman with a sharp mind, sharper eyes, and secrets of her own. Camelia isn't just any bodyguard; she's deadly, disciplined, and the last person Alessia wants watching her every move. Tension sparks. Boundaries blur. What begins as a reluctant partnership soon turns into something far more dangerous than bullets or betrayal: desire. As enemies close in from the shadows and the line between protector and temptation fades, Alessia and Camelia must choose where their loyalties truly lie - with their blood, their duty, or with each other. In a world of secrets, power, and violence... will love survive the crossfire?
