In the gritty underbelly of a sprawling metropolis, where loyalty is currency and betrayal is a death sentence, Rose Rennesamei has carved out her place as the top enforcer in the notorious Muniz crime family. Fierce, intelligent, and unyielding, she has earned the respect of her peers and the love of Riley Muniz, the charismatic but ruthless heir to the family throne. Their passionate romance is a whirlwind of danger and desire, fueled by adrenaline and ambition.

However, as the stakes rise and rival factions close in, Rose begins to feel the weight of the life she has chosen. The violence, the constant threat of betrayal, and the loss of friends weigh heavily on her conscience. One fateful night, after a particularly brutal confrontation, she makes the heart-wrenching decision to leave Riley and the life of crime behind. She knows that her departure will not only break his heart but could also put her life in jeopardy. With a heavy heart, she walks away, vowing to find a safer path.

A year passes, and Rose has built a new life, far removed from the chaos of the mafia. She has found peace, but the memories of her past linger like shadows. Just as she begins to feel truly free, a knock at her door shatters her tranquility. Standing before her is Riley, battered and bloodied, his once charming smile replaced by desperation and pain. He has come seeking refuge, but the danger that follows him threatens to pull her back into the world she fought so hard to escape.

As Rose grapples with her feelings for Riley and the life she left behind, she must confront the reality of love in a world where loyalty is tested, and danger lurks around every corner. Will she risk everything to save the man she once loved, or will she finally choose her own safety over the ties that bind them? In "Love and Loyalty," the lines between love, loyalty, and survival blur, leading to a gripping tale of passion, sacrifice, and the haunting consequences of a life steeped in crime.

Between The Flames ⚜️Il Paradosso Book Two⚜️  by chimera_invisible
55 parts Complete Mature
I dreamed of him again last night. He came to me in his riveting form, dressed in the liturgical signature black attire. His dark hair slicked back, accentuating the alluring frame of his chiseled jaw, with the figure of a sculpted deity, just as I'd remembered him. His invigorating smile was seducing me, taunting me, reigniting the sparks that had been scuffled by the lingering absence of his affinity. His daunting eyes consumed me, staring, burning with the intensity of a thousand flames. His beguiling features were enticing, drawing me in, and I was falling deeper, further into his arms until he was drifting and faded away in the shadows. Mornings after were imbued with feverish yearning that waned throughout the day, leaving me to a dreadful emptiness, a void that failed to dissipate during the two years apart. It had been the longest winter without him. All Adriana wanted was to be free. But it came with a cost, one that she hadn't expected to so deeply regret. The very life that she had once tremendously despised was now what she craved the most. But things are different after being away, for she is no longer the helpless, vulnerable girl taken nearly two years ago by the man who now holds her heart on a thread. The man who made a promise. A promise that he couldn't keep. She remembers everything from the moment she was rescued from the claws of one evil to the nightmarish events that transpired in the hands of another. As her dark past collides with the present and her love for the ruthless Mob Boss is put to a test, Adriana has to confront the demons that were responsible for her ruin and make an irreversible decision that will seal her ultimate fate. This is the second book to Il Paradosso Mafia Series. #1 omerta #2 crimefiction

Black eyes. Soulless. Unforgiving. Grey. Ice-cold, but just enough that I'm able to melt it. Both make me feel something. The matter was, which one out-weighed the other? Rule-bound, my life feels more like a cage than it ever has. I have no opportunity to use my fire and break out- heat can only do so much. And then like a fish out of water, I have to attach myself to this man- a man I know is dangerous. But so am I. The thing is, I don't know just how much. Only when he touches me, looks at me, talks to me even if his voice is laced with Russian poison.. that's when I realize just what agreement I've accorded with. It's a crippling touch of fire everytime he's near, and the most dangerous thing of all- even more than him, is the fact that I don't hate it. Stone is what I see when I look into his eyes. I wonder, is his heart made of it too? Nikolas Volkov When a bloody feud between the Russian Bratva and the Cosa Nostra ends with one outback- I'm forced to put myself in a position I have no other choice but to fulfill. With the Pakhan on my back, eyes everywhere mean complying is the only option. Only when the moment comes, is when I realize just what I've gotten myself into. She's.. indecipherable. I don't know what the hell this feeling is. I know it's not good. But my body tells me it's not bad, either. I try to stay away, but feeling her tremble and light like a switch underneath my touch when she's so used to staying upright, it awakens a dark, fulfilling part of me. My heart's made of stone. It always has been. So why do I feel it sway whenever she's near? 17+ Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*
