Cosette Lennon is an aspiring fashion designer in college. The hot, witty, party girl finally had everything planned out after a rough childhood, until her only living family member required external care. Now, she has some life changing decisions to make if she wants to keep her grandmother alive. And what will she learn about herself through this choice?

Kallias Salvatore, the bruting, arrogant yet charming prick, is the upcoming heir of the Salvatore family, one of the big five Italian mafia branches. But just as he takes his place as Don, it seems the other families are ready to attack and test his resilience and power, so he needs to get his shit together if he wants to stay alive. That means no mistakes, no miscalculations, and no weaknesses. 

So what happens when the bubbly, bright doll Cosette takes a job from Kallias? The catch... Cosette has no idea that her new boss is the Don of the Italian mafia. Apart they are reckless, but together they are ruinous. Will they build each other up, or create utter destruction?

"Dance for me," He uttered, taking a swig of his Old Fashioned.
I rolled my eyes, scoffing, right before a sharp yelp exits my throat at the sudden dagger implanted into the wall directly beside my head. Then he was there, his hand firmly holding my throat and his form towering over me. 
"Darling, if you roll your eyes at me one more time, I'll give you a reason to make them roll."

Deviant Prince [Romano Brotherhood, #2] by mysamar
59 parts Ongoing Mature
UPDATES EVERY WEEK! Vivienne Lee is pretty sure her next-door neighbor is a serial killer. What else could explain his creepily minimalistic apartment décor, inhumanly antisocial behavior, and that frighteningly emotionless demeanor? Oh, and don't forget the random bloody body parts that have a habit of showing up. It's too bad she's not scared of him. Or his unveiled threats on her life. But an emotionally scarred gangster on the run - riding the brink of insanity and followed by a whole host of trouble - is a lot more than she could've bargained for. Massimo Romano is beyond redemption. Capo of the increasingly powerful Romano crime family, the sociopathic Prince of Chicago, hell wrapped in a designer suit. He exemplifies perfect control and restraint... Until now. His job has always come easily to him for the very same reason that his name is feared widely: he's incapable of emotion. But something horrifying and sinister is beginning to happen to him. And it turns out that pesky slipping sanity of his is the least of his concerns. Because his new neighbor is a ray-of-sunshine wildcard dipped in beauty like he's never seen, and she won't leave him alone. Worse, he can't decide if he should kill or protect her. Massimo doesn't count on Vivienne being the first person to look at him like he's human. Or demons from his past coming back to haunt him. Much less a new threat looming on the horizon. Or love. Especially not that. ♛ Deviant Prince is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, dark mafia romance with mature content and dark themes. Read at your own discretion. [ Book 2 in the Romano Brotherhood Series ]

(BOOK 1 OF MAFIA LOVE SERIES) [COMPLETED & EDITING] * "Arie," he whispered, his smile dropping as he closed the distance between us. "I'm sor..." My right hand met his left cheek brutally, stopping all that he had to say. "How dare you?" I hissed, landing another smack on the same spot. "How could you do this to me?" I raised my hand up again to place another one, but he caught my wrist before I could do so. "Plan your next move very carefully," he spoke in a low, belligerent tone tightening his grip on my wrist, daring me to slap him again. Pain jolted from the area, forcing tears to sting at the corner of my eyes. "Or what?" I scowled at him. "You don't want to find out." He took a step closer, staring into my eyes. "And don't tempt me!" * Today was the day it all started. Everything began to fall apart. It twisted me, threw me against the wall, and ripped my sanity and innocence to shreds. I never thought I'd go through it, but there I was in the middle of it all.

But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat.

I could hear the heavy pounds of my heart in my ear as I glared at the self absorbed asshole of the century. Luca Viteillo. "Why. did. you. kill. him?" I gritted out glaring at him. There was no emotion on his face that gave away what he was feeling. His eyes held me. I couldn't look away. "You're mine Cucciolo. Mine" His voice dropped like ice. A wave of emotion passed through his eyes. The very first one I have ever seen and it was scary. Possession. It dripped like acid from his eyes. I liked it and I hated it. I'm not an object! I walked towards him and leaned forward. My words dropped like venom "I am not yours to own. Never will be!" "Say that again and let me show you who you belong to" His eyes daring me to challenge him. "This body is mine to own and to destroy" He whispered softly in my ear grasping my thighs tightly as his hand inched upwards. If he can fuck anybody so can I. Without him realizing it. I grasped him tightly were the sun doesn't shine. A grunt escaped his lips making me smirk in victory. "Then this is also mine and mine alone. The next time you fuck someone else I will cut it off" I whispered staring into his eyes. We were bad for each other but also complimented each other well. He is dangerous but I want him.

As it stained my hands, tears were beginning to pour down causing me to subconsciously wipe my face. "How'd you feel after committing your first murder?" His deep voice asked me from behind. Slowly turning around, showing him the mess of emotions I was going through. "Fuck you." I responded slowly, with much anger. I caught a spark in his eye and he slowly began to smirk.
