Sneak peek:
"Be careful how you fucking speak with me." He said with a serious voice that would make someone's blood chill. But I was not afraid, I somehow knew that he would never hurt Alice, not when Liam was here. It was obvious that Liam liked Alice, but I don't know if Alice was going to be interested in Liam after what was just going down.
"Or what? I am a fucking assassin, to be specific your own personal assassin. You know what I'm capable of doing, you're seeing what the news were talking about me. Maybe you should be careful of how you speak with me." I said, not even scared of his ass. I saw him adjusting his pants, fucking bastard was getting hard. So now who fucking has the control?

Ruthless by Blood
The Russo family-Italy's most feared and revered mafia dynasty-was built on blood, loyalty, and legacy. For years, Don Salvatore and Donna Giulia ruled the underworld with their seven sons, longing only for a daughter to complete their empire. Their prayers were answered in the form of twin girls: Isabella, the perfect golden child... and Alessia, the heart of the family. Until everything shattered. At just three years old, Alessia was framed by her own twin sister for a crime she didn't commit. Betrayed by the family who once adored her, she was exiled to a place darker than hell-a so-called "boarding school" that turned children into weapons. There, Alessia died. And in her place, Lucifer was born. Trained as an assassin. Sold to the Mexican mafia. Tortured. Transformed. At thirteen, she slaughtered the very cartel that owned her-and rose as its queen. By seventeen, she was the most feared assassin in the world, the CEO of eleven global empires, and the beloved "Rani" of India under her new family: the Kaalarajyas. Her identity? A ghost. Her pain? A legacy. But the past has a pulse-and it's time to collect. Now, Alessia is coming back to the world that betrayed her. Not to forgive. Not to be welcomed. But to make the Russo family kneel. They called her dead. They called her a monster. They forgot... she's a Russo too. Ruthless by Blood is a tale of betrayal, rebirth, and the rise of a queen who was never meant to survive-but was born to rule. What will happen if they find out the truth? read- to find out. #4 in assassin- 02/10/25Complete

His Addiction β
This book can be read as a standalone, however, I advise you to read His Possession first. This would help you understand the context and not spoil the first book if you choose to read it after this one. ~~~~~~~~ One year has passed since Adena Madden left Italy and her past behind. One year since she left the man she fell in love with. She lived away from everyone she once knew. She wanted to take a break. One that let her enjoy the freedom and live like a regular person. Perhaps the lavish life that Nico offered her was too much for a girl like Dena. Except her life was never going to be simple. She was the weakness of the ruthless Italian mafia don. One that had more enemies than any person on the planet. She was the one thing people could hold against him. One thing that would make him do anything in return for her safety. She thought that her relationship was left behind. Yet she never thought she could be so easily fooled into thinking no one would eventually take advantage of Nico's biggest weakness. Nico Savellini has gone through a lot in his life. He never thought that a girl would hurt him more than a bullet. After a year of her absence, he tried to move on and yet no matter how much he tried, He couldn't. But he never thought that the Russian mafia don would be smart enough to use her against him. No matter how much he should've expected it, he hoped he could protect her. His father told him he can never be with her, but can you really tell the heart what to do? And now that she's in danger, He has to get her back. Even if he has to put his life and empire at stake. ~~~~~~~~~ Trigger warnings: includes sexual content, mature language, mature/sensitive themes, scenes with weapons, violence and murder.Complete

Ivory has never relied on anybody-anything. Not even her own mother. The same mother who forced her into a life she never deserved. But there's no backing out now. The assassin's life is all she's ever known, ever since childhood. Her mother made sure of that. Trouble finds Ivory like a vine-wrapping, twisting, never letting go. Spreading like a virus. Trouble finds her most when she discovers she's the bastard child of the Italian Mafia Don. When she meets him and his family-his wife and five sons-she realizes her life is no longer hers to control. And she hates that. It only worsens when her knight in shining armor reveals himself to be the devil in sheep's clothing. Satan himself, if you will. A new country. A new household. A new family. New friends gained, old ones lost. A thirst for revenge. How is she supposed to cope? Especially when stormy eyes follow her everywhere. But that's not quite what scares her. What terrifies her is the way he watches-not with the same disdain he gives everyone else, but with interest. With wonder. For her and her alone. You know what they all say; curiosity kills the cat. But satisfaction brought it back.
