In the pulsating heart of Chicago, where the streets hum with the rhythm of life, a tale of forbidden love and defiance unfolds, centered around Hope Emily Nightingale-a formidable witch with a heart of gold. When her best friend Serafina's wedding is shattered by the intervention of Remo, the enigmatic capo of the Camorra, who whisks the bride away into the shadows, Hope's unyielding loyalty drives her to take matters into her own hands.

Determined to save Serafina, Hope embarks on a perilous mission that defies logic and fear. In an act of audacious courage, she kidnaps Nino, the feared consigliere of the Camorra and Remo's brother, holding him captive in a desperate bid to barter her friend's freedom. Yet, what begins as an act of desperation soon evolves into a clash of wits and wills as Hope and Nino are drawn into each other's orbit.

As the days stretch into nights, and the line between captor and captive blurs, Hope's indomitable spirit and fiery resolve challenge everything Nino has ever known. Beneath her sharp tongue and unyielding bravery, he discovers a woman who carries her own scars, shadows, and secrets. Against the backdrop of danger and the ruthless grip of the Camorra, an unexpected connection sparks between them-one that neither can deny nor afford to embrace.

Torn between her quest to save Serafina and the undeniable pull toward Nino, Hope must navigate a labyrinth of danger, magic, and emotion. As the past resurfaces and the stakes grow ever higher, she is faced with an impossible choice: surrender to her feelings for a man bound to the life she despises, or risk everything to stay true to her purpose.


This is a Nino Falcone fanfiction. All characters except Hope and her family belong to Cora Reilly.

Where Mercy Sleeps by SimplyDeja

Synopsis: Her parents raised her to save lives. He was born to take them. At twenty-three, Dr. Evangeline James has her dream job and a haunted heart. One of Manhattan's youngest pediatric surgeons, she spends her days stitching up children and her nights keeping her demons in check. Raised under her parents' strict Southern roof-with gospel in her ears and shame stitched into her spine-Evangeline ran to New York for more than ambition. She came for air. For control. For secrets. She never expected to find him-a man bleeding to death behind a dumpster in the freezing cold, clutching a gun like it was a lifeline. One look into those brutal, obsidian eyes and Evangeline knew: this man was not a victim. He was a threat. And somehow, she still brought him home. He said his name was Lorenzo DeLuca. She knew it belonged to a monster. Not just a mafia prince-but the heir to the DeLuca empire. A man carved from violence and baptized in blood. A man who's used to getting what he wants-and now he wants her. Lorenzo is sin in human form. dark silk, loaded guns, and soft-spoken commands. He makes promises that sound like threats and touches her like she's already his. He says he'll protect her from his world-but his world is made of bodies, betrayal, and war. And Evangeline? She's no saint. What begins as a mercy spirals into a dangerous obsession. He's possessive. Unforgiving. Addicted. And the deeper Evangeline falls into Lorenzo's shadows, the more she questions everything-her morals, her loyalties, even her own pleasure. Because nothing about this is holy. Nothing about him is safe. But God, she craves him anyway. And she might not survive what loving him will cost.

Scandalous Submission [+18] by MiraHarlson

In an instant, I knew I wanted to release her from the blindfold. After all, if the curtains were closed, she wouldn't discern my features anyway. I gently grasped her, pulling her close as I reached for the remote resting on the table beside the sofa. With a press of a button, the heavy curtains glided shut, enveloping us in a cocoon. The world was lost to me. All that mattered was the woman now in my arms. Taking a deep breath, I began to ease the blindfold from the back of her head. As the fabric loosened and slid away, I sensed her heart quickening against my touch. She seemed startled, afraid even, her instinct to shield her eyes immediately with her hands. But I gently guided her hand aside, softly tracing the contours of her eyelids with my fingertips-a silent reassurance urging her to open them. ISABELLA Friday night was supposed to be about fun-drinks with Charlotte, letting go. But when she confessed that her online Dom, Mr. L, had cut her off for disobedience, I made a risky bet: I'd win Mr. L's submission, gain his trust, and get him to meet me in person. It felt like an easy challenge... until I realized the game would draw me closer to my cold, distant CEO, Levi. My online master's punishments awaken forbidden desires I didn't know I had. Now, the lines between pleasure and pain are blurring, and I crave more than I ever imagined. LEVI When Isabella's message hit my inbox-"I'm looking for a new online master"-I expected a typical submissive. But then I realized it was her, my intern-the woman I've secretly wanted since the moment she stepped into my office. Now, the stakes are higher than ever. My need to dominate her consumes me, but my father's warning against mixing business and pleasure rings in my ears. Can I resist the temptation... or will I finally give in to everything I've wanted?
UNEXPECTED OBSESSION- Sanzu Haruchiyo X OC Story by pearlyy23
27 parts Ongoing Mature
A Bonten Fanfiction Sierra Ito doesn't believe in love-until she meets Haruchiyo Sanzu, Bonten's deranged right-hand man. Cold and ruthless, she built her empire, but him? He ignites something dangerous. She denies it. Fights it. But love in their world is a death sentence. "What would you do if nothing held you back?" The first time she saw Sanzu, he was laughing-unhinged, wild, eyes burning like a predator's. She told herself it was disgust. (It wasn't.) His Obsession: Sanzu's used to women who play with fire. Most die. But Sierra? She breathes it. When he presses a gun to her head, she smiles. When he does it again, she laughs. By the third time, he's the one chasing her-and that pisses him off. No one gets under his skin. No one matters. Yet the way she looks at him-like she sees every broken part of him-makes him want to ruin her... or keep her. (He hasn't decided.) Themes & Warnings: 🔥 Slow Burn - This isn't love at first sight. This is obsession, denial, and a battle of wills that neither of them can win. 💀 Violence & Gore - This is Bonten. Expect blood, torture, and morally bankrupt characters who kill without remorse. 🌑 Dark Romance - Sanzu isn't a hero. Sierra isn't a saint. Their love is twisted, possessive, and destructive. 🖤 Angst & Tragedy - "In another life, we'll meet again, and our story will be a happy ending." (But this isn't that life or maybe it is.) 💥 Smut - Of course. This is a Sanzu fanfic, after all. Author's Note: This is my first fanfic, and I'm obsessed with Sanzu. I've read every existing fic about him and still wanted more, so I decided to write my own. Yes, it's cringe. Yes, it's dark. And yes, I have high hopes for this story. If you have any plot suggestions, let me know! (All characters belong to Ken Wakui except Sierra, Adi, and this plot.) Hope you enjoy the descent into madness. 💖 |IMAGE CREDITS: PINTEREST ( I don't own any images used in the fic!)
