When ambitious young heiress Juliet strikes a series of deals with her bad boy enemy Romeo to protect her reputation, their twisted game of blackmail grows into forbidden love, forcing them to choose between loyalty to their families and their hearts.

Season 1 of New York Rivals

***

Juliet Milton's five-year plan includes graduating at the top of her class and proving herself worthy of running the billion-dollar business her grandfather founded. This means all work, no play, and protecting her reputation at all costs.

But desperate for a night of fun, Juliet tags along with her friends to an underground fight. When a dangerous stampede suddenly breaks out, a masked fighter saves her from being trampled. She's shocked to discover her rescuer is none other than Romeo Carrington: the arrogant heir to her family's greatest rival business, and her sworn enemy. 

Driven by mutually assured destruction, Romeo and Juliet embark on a bitter blackmail scheme. Neither was supposed to be there that night, and both of their lives would be ruined if it got out. But soon, animosity turns into an unexpected alliance and sparks of irresistible attraction. As their forbidden feelings grow, Juliet must answer the ultimate question-is falling for her rival worth the price?

Live For It by LyEr7107

He seemed like the devil. He was evil. Cruel. She was always portrayed as a weapon. A tool. An occasional use. One wrong turn -literally- and everything changes. What happens when she finally decides to stand up for herself? The once known 'shy' assassin is now a runaway killer. Will she be able to protect the people she loves while fighting for her title? That arrogant and dangerous man, Zion Armani, who has a past trailing to hers...They meet again. Forgiveness is a difficult concept. Two broken souls from two different sides. Many failed attempts, many murderous frenzies, and many unretrievable mistakes. Her concept of life is far-fetched compared to others, one of the many things that makes her so human and so real, even if she was taught to refuse it. Could she battle the wars in the underground world while an addicting man fought against her? A chase? Not necessarily. Will she find a reason to keep going? Will Zhara Di Maggio find something --or someone-- to believe in? Will the Golden Raven prove her fate wrong and find her own reason to live? ~~~ Zion Armani, even the darkest hide from his shadows. Zhara Di Maggio, the only brightness left. "You know how to live, you're just too scared to do it."

Obsession. by jezxzica

If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a lot better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile. He moves his face closer to mine, losing the lighthearted grin that had previously cooled my nerves. I get a better look at the scar across the bridge of his nose, and the vague one X'ed onto his lips. Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully! List of specific warnings can be found in the introduction. The writing gets better as the story progresses, I promise.
