At 23, Seraya's life was meant to be simple, until tragedy struck. Now, she's having to raise her younger sister on her own, barely scraping by. Her world takes a dark twist when she's thrown into the ruthless and unforgiving underworld of the mafia, compelled to serve under the watchful eye of a cold hearted and powerful don. Every day, she yearns for a way out, desperate for a savior, yet trapped under the mafia's iron grip. Just when hope seems lost, the mafia's head of security, a man feared by all, begins to question everything. His loyalty shifts, and in Seraya, he sees a chance for redemption. However, breaking the rules in this world could cost them both their lives. Can they escape the chains of the mafia, or will their fight for freedom come at a deadly price? 

After surviving the fire that claimed his family, Raffi owes his life to the mafia. Out of 30 years, the last decade was spent serving the ruthless mafia boss who saved him. With no solid memories of his past, Raffi has become a man shaped purely by violence and duty, living each day in a haze of routine. Stagnant and without purpose, he feels trapped in a life he never truly chose. That is, until a girl is thrust into his world-someone desperate and lonely, much like he felt. Torn between his loyalty to the mafia and a new, dangerous desire to protect her, Raffi must decide if he's willing to risk everything for a future he never thought possible.

College? No, this was paradise. Three years filled with partying, not so secret underground drug-deals, and hot-headed men sliding into beds like snakes with no self-control. Things were different now. I wasn't that perfect, frill-wearing angel Mama thought would walk into the house ring-beared. So many things had changed, except for one. Him. He was a disease, one I couldn't get rid of no matter how hard I tried. Everytime he's near, I feel myself turn into something I've never seen before. Like there's something under my skin only he is capable of bringing out. He's manipulative, twisted, and completely wrong in every way. I hate him. Yet every night, from miles away, I find him in my dreams. Mikhail Volkov Fuck the patriarchy. Better yet, fuck everything and everyone. It was a game of cat and mouse, me chasing victories every single day. The Bratva's constant want for war was what kept the fuel in my blood, burning up into flames whenever my knuckles made contact with another opponent. In the end, I'm always the one left standing. This fire in my bones, I feel it burst into flames while every dark memory, thought and desire runs into my fists. So many medals, but only the people around me could see them. The real battle was against my head. And maybe, just maybe, I was afraid to admit that I had no chance in winning it. She makes it harder. An angel with wings to everyone else, yet a master at unveiling those devil's horns only when I'm near. There's this darkness, this fire, in the both of us. The only difference is, she's better at hiding it. She was gone, far away, yet there was this tether dowsed in fuel connecting us, one that only lit up when she came back. Every time she's near, I feel the limits surrounding my wrath being tested. Then again, rules are only made to be broken, right? Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*
