'For The Mafia' Series - Book 1 of 3! ~~~ "Down on your knees." He lets go of my hair and pushes my shoulders down roughly, before unbuttoning and shrugging off his shirt. I kneel in front of him and instantly unbuckle his belt and unzip his black pants. He watches me eagerly from above, keeping his hands to his side, letting me lead. "Are you jealous when I flirt with those men for information?" I bat my eyes up at him innocently as I pull his pants down to his knees. His face hardens as he considers my question. "I don't like your hands on them." He grumbles and I smirk. I already knew the answer. "I do it for you, Enzo." I remind him as I move my mouth closer to him. "Only me." He growls as he pulls my head forward, closing the space between us. ~~~ When a dangerous mafia leader meets this particular stripper, he learns she is anything but. Both equally ruthless and thirsting for power, he hires her as his lethal interrogator and assassin, however she quickly becomes more when neither can resist each other.

The Void Killer Saga
They'll call him the Void Killer. The shadow that haunts Costa del Sol's underworld. The nightmare that makes crime lords pray. But right now? He's just trying to survive the Bounty Hunter Academy. Kasper de la Fuente has the tools to become something special: military-grade nanotech thrumming in his veins, a crew of brilliant misfits at his back, and his family's legacy pushing him forward. Then the terrorists known as ATA shatter his world, and Kasper learns the hard way that his academy training barely scratched the surface of real evil. In a retro-futuristic world where neon bleeds into art deco shadows, where tech-augmented gangs rule the streets and corruption runs bone-deep, Kasper and his crew uncover a conspiracy that will force them to grow up fast - or die trying. This is no ordinary coming-of-age story. This is the genesis of the Void Killer, and his education in justice comes with a body count. The only question is: will you witness his rise?
The Memory Thieves
In the glittering, high-tech city of Eos, memories aren't just personal-they're a commodity. Kael Reyes is a "blank," a courier with no past and no memories, surviving day by day in the shadowy world of the underground memory trade. When a routine delivery goes wrong, Kael finds himself in possession of a stolen neural chip that holds the truth about NeuroVale, the corporation controlling the city through memory manipulation. As the chip begins to unlock fragments of his own erased past, Kael discovers he isn't just a courier-he's the key to dismantling NeuroVale's plan to rewrite the minds of an entire population. Hunted by bounty hunters, betrayed by supposed allies, and haunted by the memories he can't fully piece together, Kael must team up with a rogue hacker and a determined scientist to expose NeuroVale's darkest secret. But as his memories resurface, he's forced to confront a horrifying truth: he once worked for the enemy. Now, Kael must decide if he's willing to sacrifice everything, including the last fragments of his identity, to stop NeuroVale and reclaim the city's freedom. In The Memory Thieves, the fight for free will isn't just about the future-it's about uncovering the truth hidden in the past.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
Shadows of the Night
"Nothing good ever came without sacrifice. Some of us just found clarity in the darkness of those shadows." *** Nyx Monroe grew up with terrifying tales of golden-eyed beasts with nightmarish fangs and murderous tendencies but as time passed, she forgot about them, convinced they were just scary stories. When her father, Azeil Monroe, is tasked with solving the murder plaguing the coastal city of Celacali, it's a chance at a fresh start. However, Nyx discovers everything is not what it seems beneath the veneer of the popular tourist location, also known as the City of the Dead. Something dark resides there-death and carnage reincarnate. Plunged into the city's shadows, Nyx stumbles into the open arms of notorious Orion, Kotori, Niko, and Kade-the boardwalk is their blood-stained domain. They've been waiting for twenty-five years to exact their revenge for a debt long overdue, luring Nyx and her father back to where it all began. Whilst they distract Azeil with one murder case after the other, their focus shifts to Nyx. Soon, there's nowhere left for her to run-to hide-from the true beasts of legend, or from the darkness of her past.Abgeschlossene Geschichte
