Shattered Loyalties kicks off with a battle between rival groups, escalating tensions over control of the city's lucrative drug trade, and the haunting failure of a mission that cost her dearly. When ghosts from her past-the men she once trusted and loved-resurface, old wounds are reopened, and buried emotions ignite into something far more dangerous. As she navigates this treacherous world, trying to keep her secrets hidden, the lines between love, lust, and survival blur. As old flames rekindle and loyalties are tested, she faces a choice that could either save her or destroy everything she's fought for.

Mafia: Dirty Thoughts by ZosephinaTsena
10 parts Ongoing Mature
In a world divided by power, danger, and secrets, two lives from opposite ends of the spectrum collide in a whirlwind of passion, betrayal, and forbidden love. Damien Galveston, the ruthless and enigmatic head of a notorious mafia empire, rules the underworld with an iron fist. Feared by many, respected by more, he is a man who thrives in the shadows, bound by loyalty to his dangerous world-a world of violence, deceit, and a moral code built on blood. Scarlett Hayes, on the other hand, is the epitome of innocence. Raised in a quiet town, she leads a simple life, far removed from the darkness of Damien's reality. With her heart full of hope and a life guided by kindness, she's unprepared for the storm that's about to unravel when fate throws her into Damien's path. As their worlds collide, an undeniable attraction ignites between them-Scarlett is drawn to the dangerous allure of the man who hides his vulnerability behind a hard exterior, while Damien finds himself captivated by the purity and light that Scarlett exudes, something he's never known in his world of crime. But their love comes at a high cost. As Scarlett is pulled deeper into Damien's world, she finds herself entangled in a web of danger, lies, and deadly enemies who would do anything to see Damien fall-even if it means destroying the one thing he's come to cherish the most. Caught between love and survival, Scarlett must navigate the dark secrets of Damien's empire while Damien faces the ultimate challenge-protecting the woman he loves without losing her to the very world that threatens to tear them apart. In a battle where hearts are just as much at risk as lives, can love survive the darkness, or will their worlds destroy them both?

|18+| "Enough is enough," she said to herself. "I'm going to ask him out." Getting up from her seat, she walked over to where he was seated. "Um, hi! I was wondering if we could grab some coffee and maybe hang out sometime?" she asked nervously. He turned to her, a sense of darkness and danger emanating from him. Her body went on alert. "You shouldn't be able to see me," he said with a smiling like a Cheshire cat. . . . "I scratch and bite" she warned "You'll crawl and beg too" he smirked. . . . The Ripple She hardly has time to breathe, much less dream, considering that she is juggling two difficult jobs. One face, nevertheless, sticks out in the midst of the chaos of her daily subway rides: a mysterious guy whom she covertly refers to as "the subway hottie." His mysterious presence becomes the high point of her daily routine-a secret joy. However, one day, with an unusual burst of courage, she dares to break the silence between them. What starts off as a brief connection quickly develops into something forbidden and thrilling. She has no idea that this seemingly random meeting will upend her meticulously planned life in ways she never could have predicted. The Echo He had to grow up too early after being born into an uncertain circumstance and found refuge and survival in the shadow of an underground empire. From a street-hardened recruit to a trusted enforcer in the family's inner circle, what started out as a desperate decision quickly turned into a way of life. However, trust is brittle and was destroyed the day he discovered a cruel betrayal that left him bloodied and drove him to flee. His only goal now is to exact revenge, and The Nemesis is his target. But his well-laid schemes fall apart when she gets in his way. His icy determination starts to soften for the first time, and he has to decide whether seeking vengeance is worth losing the one thing he never thought he deserved-her. π”˜π”«π”‘π”’π”― 𝔠𝔬𝔫𝔰𝔱𝔯𝔲𝔠𝔱𝔦𝔬
