"Don," she began, her voice steady but filled with intensity, "There's something you need to understand about me. About why I do what I do."
Don tilted his head, intrigued. "Go on."
Violet's eyes narrowed slightly as she chose her words carefully. "I love my enemies for two reasons. They inspire me to recognize my weakness.And they also inspire me to perfect my imperfect nature."

Twisted Loyalty
Trusting him was dangerous. Loving him could be fatal. Sienna Romano has spent her entire life being the perfect daughter, paraded around as the untouchable princess of Chicago's most dangerous crime family. Behind the diamonds and silk lies a world of ruthless power, violence, and control.

Dante is her father's sworn enemy, the powerful leader of a rival gang who thrives on danger. Cold, calculating, and dangerous, he's the last man Sienna should trust. But from the moment he touches her, she knows she's not just a pawn in his deadly game-she's the prize. And in Dante's arms, Sienna begins to realize there's more to life than playing her father's perfect doll. With a war brewing in the city and alliances crumbling, Sienna must navigate a twisted world of betrayal, passion, and violence. Dante promises to keep her safe, but the price may be higher than she ever imagined.

All Yours
"Please," I whisper, my voice trembling as tears prick the corners of my eyes. "Please don't hurt me." The words barely escape my throat, fragile and desperate. He studies me for a moment, tilting his head slightly, almost as if he's amused by my plea. Then he scoffs, the sound sharp and mocking. "Why would I want to do that?" he murmurs, his voice smooth but carrying a dark undertone that chills me. He takes a step forward, and instinctively, I step back. "I've just found you..." He pauses, his gaze dragging over my face like a predator sizing up its prey. "And now you're mine." Aurora Evans leads a life of simplicity. Eat, work, sleep-her unchanging regimen is her sanctuary, and she has no intention of altering it. But what unfolds when a shadowy figure, lurking beyond her windows, takes an insidious interest in her? One glance at her in a café ensnares him, rendering him captivated, his singular ambition becoming clear: to claim her as his own. Aurora's attempts to escape his shadowy games are futile, especially in the cloak of night when he emerges, weaving his spell under the cover of darkness. He teases, entices, and pushes her perilously close to her breaking point. Her resolve is to distance herself as much as possible. Yet, fate has a cruel sense of irony. When she is abruptly dismissed from her previous job, she unwittingly lands a position working for him-as his assistant-entangling her in a web she can no longer evade. *A STALKER ROMANCE* #1 in "assistant" 12/23/24 #1 in "criminal" 3/8/25Concluida
Bloodlines and Bullets
What happens when you're in the wrong place at the wrong time? She is just at the beginning of her year-long world travels when she falls into the hands of him - an Italian mafia Don driven by the thirst for answers and revenge. When there is something else thrown into the mix - obsession. But is it the healthy kind? -- "I can see it, you know," he continues, his voice as smooth and dangerous as the edge of a blade. "The fear you're trying so hard to hide. The way your hands tremble ever so slightly, the way your breath catches in your throat when I'm close like this." My hands instinctively curl into fists at my sides, nails digging into my palms as I struggle to maintain control. He tilts his head, studying me like a predator sizing up its prey, his proximity suffocating. "You should be scared," he says, the words laced with an unsettling certainty. "Because when I'm done with you, there won't be anything left of that defiance you're so proud of." A shiver runs down my spine. "I've faced worse than you," I manage to grit out, though my voice is barely above a whisper. "And I'm still standing." His lips curve into a sinister smile, a glint of something dark and twisted flashing in his eyes. "We'll see how long that lasts." "Let's go." "No." --Concluida

Crown Of Shadows
He is cold, calculated, and feared by all. She is reckless, wild, and impossible to tame. Nikolai Agapov was built from blood and brutality-the most ruthless name whispered in both the Italian and Russian underworlds. His world runs on control, silence, and obedience. Everyone bows to him. Everyone fears him. Valentina Cano is the opposite. She thrives on chaos, laughter, and rebellion, forever chasing freedom in a world that constantly tries to cage her. With her sharp wit and dangerous beauty, she's everything Nikolai has no patience for-loud, unrestrained, untouchable. They despise each other. They challenge each other. They burn every time they collide. But when circumstances force them together, their clashing worlds become a dangerous game of power and temptation. She refuses to be broken. He refuses to lose control. And somewhere between the hatred, the reckless defiance, and the brutal truths, lies a pull neither of them can escape. Enemies. Opposites. A fire that could destroy them both- or forge something even darker.Concluida

V is for Violet (COMPLETE)
-COMPLETE original version PLUS first half of new version!- "I don't know what to do," I admitted for the first time to both her and myself. "I don't know how to maintain this without fucking something up. I don't know how to keep spending time with you without setting a bad example or slipping up in front of my Family." Violet sat up and turned to face me. "I can't answer that for you," she said with a sad smile. "But I can go. I can make this easier, stay out of your way for a while." She stood on her knees between my legs, close, but not touching, and watched me with those wide, ocean eyes. I should have told her to go- listened to her suggestion and put some real distance between us. It would have been smarter, safer. But it would feel like cutting off my own hands. "I don't want that," I murmured, and reached for her waist. (excerpt from new version) --- Vengeance. Vendetta. Violence. These three words are all Violet Harcourt knows. For years, her world has been centered around killing Bill Pfeiffer, the hitman who murdered her father and sister. She's learned the criminal underground inside and out while masquerading as a quiet art student, bringing her closer and closer to her target.

To kill, or not to kill seems to be the ultimate question- one he must answer while managing a promotion, taking down a rival Family, and trying not to fall in love.

The Rajpoot's Obsession
A dark romance story. ......... The alley reeked of damp stone and shadows. Her breaths came in sharp, ragged gasps, her heart slamming against her ribs like a desperate drum. She ran, but every step was predicted, every move hunted. And then he was there. Before she could scream, his body slammed into hers, pressing her against the cold wall. The night wrapped around them, but she felt the heat radiating off him like fire. His eyes...dark, endless, merciless...pierced through her, stripping every layer of defiance bare. "Don't... ever... run from me again," he growled, low and vicious, a predator savoring the hunt. "You belong to me. you are mine. only fucking mine" "Who said?I am not yours. " she protested. he chuckled and whispered "Said the way you breathe when I am this close to you. said the way you stare at my lips and said the way you are not pushing me now when I am not even holding you tightly." "You are my obsession....and when a mafia is obsessed with something it's so dangerous my rose...."
