The Faulkner Syndicate has always been known as the most cunning family gang in Philly. The one without emotions. They're smart and tough...never taking risks. Ever. That's all thanks to their current leader, Dwayne McMahon. He's had his heart torn to pieces once and because of that, he's not going to fall for just anything.
Claire Richter has suffered much in her twenty years of life. It started with her grandmother dying and it wove on and on until it caused the death of her beloved sister. Now she's turned hard and cold, becoming blank-faced so as not to show her weakness. Weaknesses had caused her family much pain when she was younger.
When these two meet, they unsurprisingly hate each other. But their feelings about each other aren't considered as they're forced to work together...

In The Devil Hands
Imagine your father-a once honorable and loving man, now desperate and powerless-can no longer pay the unforgiving gambling debt he had stacked up for decades. And because he's unable to be that protective and respected father he once was, he sells his only daughter to a notorious Mexican gang leader as collateral just to save himself from death. As troubling as they may have been as a dream, that was the reality of 24-year-old Naomi Bennett. As soon as her birthday came around, she was bombarded with devastating news that she would no longer have control of her life. She was now owned by a random man due to an issue she had no association with, unable to escape or hide from his ruthlessness, conniving ways, and inhumane behavior. Since becoming the new leader of the Mexican gang, The Black Shadow, Santiago Alejandro de la Vega vowed to maintain that mysterious and demeaning atmosphere the organization has been carrying for years. He handled business as he saw fit: coldblooded, devious, haunting, and dirty. No one ever thought to play with him out of fear of what he could and would do if tried, except for one. A woman who was given to him as collateral, a hardheaded piece of property that angered every cell in his body and made his job more difficult than it had ever been. As badly as he wants to send her away to the mountains-avoid having to constantly deal with her attitudes and sass-Santiago finds her rebelliousness intriguing enough to keep her around. Emotions flare. Feelings emerge. Problems spark. The Devil holds rules and codes of conduct to keep himself and his team in line. Any rule broken is met with severe consequences. But he couldn't help but risk breaking one for her. Published: 07/3/25 Ended:
MAFIA BOSS
The Twins, The Moon 🌙 & the Sun ☀️ Born into a legacy of power and privilege, Bianca and Brianna Valmora were the daughters of old money-a family name that held weight in boardrooms, private estates, and exclusive clubs across the globe. The Valmoras didn't just own companies; they shaped industries. Their empire, built on generations of calculated ambition, was as formidable as it was legendary. Though they were twins, Bianca and Brianna were as different as moonlight and sun. Brianna, the elder by six minutes, was the perfect heir in the eyes of the world. Elegant, poised, and always dressed for diplomacy, she was the face of the Valmora dynasty. Her smile closed deals, her presence commanded respect, and her words were precise, powerful, and public. She was always in the spotlight-on covers of business magazines, speaking at world summits, shaking hands with presidents. Bianca, on the other hand, was a mystery even to their closest allies. Free-spirited and elusive, she had little interest in fame. While Brianna led board meetings in glass towers, Bianca worked behind the scenes-crafting business strategies, handling critical paperwork, and securing hidden negotiations no one knew existed. She liked the shadows, not because she feared the light, but because she thrived where no one could control her. She didn't need validation; she only needed freedom. Despite their differences, the twins were unbreakable. When a jealous competitor publicly questioned Brianna's leadership and tried to drag her down with lies and media scandal, Bianca-without a word-hacked into the enemy's scheme, exposed their secrets, and crushed their leverage. Brianna never even had to ask. When Bianca went off-grid to backpack through South America for six weeks, the business world panicked at her disappearance. But Brianna covered for her sister, handled the legal documents in secret, and told the board, "Bianca is where she needs to be. She'll return when she's ready."Complete
