Alessandra Cruz is the queen of Verona Heights-a fierce, high-powered lawyer who crushes her enemies in the boardroom by day. But beneath the polished surface, she's hiding a dark, dangerous secret. Alessandra runs the city's most feared criminal syndicate, controlling everything from the shadows. No one knows the truth... until he returns.
Detective Marcus Hale is back in Verona Heights with one goal-taking down the criminal mastermind behind the city's recent wave of chaos. But he has no idea that the woman he's hunting is the same woman who shattered his heart years ago-the woman he's never been able to forget.
When their paths collide at an extravagant charity gala, sparks fly, and old passions ignite. Marcus is determined to find out why Alessandra disappeared from his life without a trace. What he doesn't know is that the closer he gets to her, the more he's being pulled into a deadly game of power, deceit, and desire.
As rivals close in and her empire starts to crumble, Alessandra will have to make a choice: fight to protect her secrets and her criminal reign, or risk it all for the man who could destroy her.
Love was never part of the plan, but in a world full of danger, passion may be her ultimate downfall.

Under His Command
Elena Russo's life has always been bound by one rule: protect her father at all costs. But when his mounting debt threatens to destroy them both, Elena is faced with an impossible choice. To save him, she must give up her freedom, selling herself to Matteo De Luca, the ruthless mafia boss who controls the city's underworld. Trained to be his weapon, Elena transforms from a girl who only knew how to defend herself into a lethal force, her every move calculated, her heart locked away. But as the days pass, the line between survival and submission blurs. Matteo's empire demands loyalty above all, but the more he trains her, the more he finds himself drawn to the woman he was never meant to care about. In a world where love is a dangerous weakness, their bond grows undeniable, built on a foundation of power, betrayal, and the unrelenting pull of desire. But as Elena's skills sharpen and the stakes rise, will she stay loyal to the man who holds her life in his hands? Or will the truth of their hearts tear them apart in a world where loyalty, money, and betrayal rule everything? In this dark, thrilling story of passion and survival, there's no room for love. Only the price of power.
She's His Mission
COMPLETED ✔️ "I want you to fuck off" I growl back to him and step away. Although I want to pull him further to me. "I rather think you want me to stay?"

And at the center of it is the man she once vowed forever to-the husband she left behind, the only one who knows her and how to break her. He doesn't like to share. And Katerina?

Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.
