The 28-year-old Alisha is the daughter of one of the richest men in Las Vegas. Her father, Henry Donovan, has racked up enormous gambling debts to James Prescott, a ruthless crime lord and member of the secret organization "SOLID."
Prescott demands the unthinkable: Alisha herself.
Desperate, Henry turns to General Kael Varyn, a legendary figure in the U.S. military, whose true identity is hidden behind a tactical mask. Kael agrees to help-not out of pity, but because he has waited years for the chance to finally take down Prescott and SOLID.
As Kael moves to destroy the organization, Alisha searches for answers.
Why is he so determined to bring down Prescott?
And why does she feel an inexplicable connection to this mysterious man?

Auditing The Heart Of a King
They sent a ghost to destroy a king. Her name is Elara. A weapon forged in the cold logic of a dying future, sent back in time with a single purpose: to be the Catalyst of Failure for Adrian Vance. Adrian is not just a target. He is a genius CEO, a charismatic idealist nicknamed the "King" of the tech world for his brilliant dreams. But behind the handsome, successful facade, he is a living anomaly, a paradox whose success is destined to create a golden age... while simultaneously erasing Elara's world from existence. Her mission is simple: ruin his company, destroy his name, and break his spirit. But what happens when the auditor begins to feel? What happens when a weapon develops a will of its own? Elara's mission is to exploit Adrian's weaknesses, but all she finds is strength: a heart of such sincere kindness and a trust so absolute, it begins to unravel every line of her programming. And Adrian, who should see her as a threat, instead sees the only interesting, illogical variable in his perfect world. As their dangerous attraction deepens, they discover they are not just enemies; they are pawns in an older, darker game. A proxy war fought by gods in the shadows... a vengeful ghost from the future and a ruthless father from the past... both vying for the ultimate prize: Adrian himself. Cornered and hunted from every side, Elara is forced to make an impossible choice. To save the life of the man she now loves, she must become the monster she was pretending to be. She must become the architect of his public ruin, the villain of his story, committing the ultimate betrayal as the ultimate act of love. In a war across time where every truth is a lie and every sacrifice leaves a scar, can a ghost from the future save a king from his own destiny by auditing his heart first?![Heart of Fury - Stone and Fire # 2 [17+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/349318920-256-k805469.jpg)
Heart of Fury - Stone and Fire # 2 [17+]
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*Complete

❝𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚.❞ Olivia groaned and crossed her arms, standing her ground. "Don't tell me what to do. You're not my dad." Amusement filled Santino's gaze as he stood up, abandoning the papers he desperately needed to read and sign. Yet, all that was forgotten as her bewitching lips protruded. "I might not be your dad but," a midnight lock of hair was pinned behind her ear, "I can be your papi." Shuddering, her body drew closer to him, betraying her mind. "You're sick." Taking the nape of her neck, Santino leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear. "Yet you still dream about my touch, don't you, principessa?" ❦ When Santino Adriano discovers that the Bratva has betrayed their neutrality by secretly working with his family's enemies, he's determined to send a brutal message that cannot be ignored.
