Alina, a brilliant hacker, and Rafael, a powerful mafia boss. 


Alina, known by her hacker alias Nyx, unintentionally hacks into Rafael's heavily guarded system, drawing the attention of a man who's used to getting what he wants. 


What begins as a simple breach quickly spirals into a dangerous game of survival as Rafael tracks her down, captivated by both her skills and her defiance.

As Alina struggles to stay hidden, Rafael's obsession deepens, and their confrontations become increasingly intense. 

Alina is faced with a life-altering decision: continue running or confront a man who is as dangerous as he is irresistible. 

Their lives turned into a fast-paced ride filled with cyber warfare, intense action, and a compelling push-and-pull dynamic between two characters who should be enemies but are drawn to each other in ways neither can explain.

If you enjoy stories full of suspense, thrilling chases, and complex relationships, Code of Shadows is the book for you. 

I promise you non-stop action and emotional tension, keeping you hooked from start to finish.

But when a routine mission goes sideways, Nox finds himself caught in a deadly game orchestrated by someone who knows his darkest secrets. Vivianne Vaughn is a cybersecurity expert working for one of the most secretive government agencies in the world. Her job is to eliminate digital threats before they become national catastrophes. But when one of her investigations points to Nox, she's tasked with bringing him down-a dangerous mission that puts her face-to-face with the elusive mercenary.

Forced to work together, they must navigate a maze of betrayals, cyber warfare, and conspiracies that blur the line between right and wrong. As danger closes in, Vivianne struggles to reconcile her growing feelings for the man she's sworn to stop, while Nox grapples with a chance at redemption he never thought he deserved.

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
Blood & Vows by NoctisRose

In the shadow-filled world of Moscow's criminal elite, two warring families have maintained a fragile, blood-soaked equilibrium-until a chance encounter threatens to destroy everything. Viktor Mikhailov rules the city's underworld with cold precision. Feared by enemies and allies alike, he takes what he wants and eliminates anything in his path. His empire is built on calculated ruthlessness, and he's never encountered a weakness he couldn't crush. Alina Sokolov has been sheltered from her father's dangerous world, a prized possession kept untainted by the brutality of the bratva. Intelligent and quietly rebellious, she's built her own sanctuary in the world of art and beauty, far from the violence that funds her privileged life. When their paths collide at an elite Moscow gala, the chemistry between them is immediate and devastating. But Viktor isn't just any dangerous man-he's her father's sworn enemy, the man who's promised to destroy the Sokolov family. And Alina represents everything Viktor has taught himself to resist: innocence, vulnerability, temptation. What begins as a calculated seduction quickly evolves into an obsession neither can control. As Viktor draws Alina deeper into his world of luxury and violence, she must decide if she's willing to sacrifice everything for a man who brings destruction with one hand and passion with the other. In a city where trust is a weakness and love is a liability, Viktor and Alina's forbidden affair threatens not just their hearts, but the empires their families have built on blood and betrayal. ------------

It's too revealing." He smiles "You can't even afford it, Lilly. So I am buying this." He stands up and makes his way to me. His body language was calm but his eyes were like a fire that was about to burn me. I turn around to walk back into the dressing room but he's hot on my heel, following me inside it. The space was cramped but he closed the door and locked it. Pinned me up against the wall. My breathing hitched when I felt the cold wall on my bare back and I gasp when he grabs my hips. He leans, almost hovering, and kissed my cheek "I'm buying this dress so you can wear it for me one day." I swallow "I'm never wearing this." He chuckles in my ear which makes my stomach feel crazy "You're wearing this for me so I can take it off, darling."
