Shadows of deceit by upbeatguy23

In the gritty underbelly of a sprawling, neon-lit metropolis, a complex web of power, crime, and intrigue weaves its way through the city's heart. This is a mafia story, a tale of organized crime that unfolds in the shadows, where loyalty is as deadly as betrayal, and power is the ultimate currency. At the center of this seedy underworld is a charismatic and enigmatic mob boss, a figure whose influence extends far beyond the boundaries of legality. This mafia don is a master of manipulation, shrouded in an aura of charm that belies a ruthless and cunning mind. His empire stretches from illicit gambling dens to the drug trade, from extortion rackets to underground fight clubs. The city itself becomes a character in the story, its alleys and backstreets concealing secrets, and its towering skyscrapers casting long shadows over the criminal enterprises that flourish within. The juxtaposition of opulence and decay is striking, as glamorous penthouses overlook squalid tenements, and the echoes of power are heard amid the sirens and gunshots. The story's protagonists are a motley crew of characters, each with their own moral compass and motivations. A disillusioned detective, haunted by the memory of a loved one lost to the mafia's clutches, is determined to bring down the boss and dismantle the syndicate. Alongside him, a conflicted lawyer finds herself torn between her duty to uphold the law and her loyalty to a childhood friend entangled in the mafia's web. As the plot unfolds, alliances are forged and broken, betrayals and vendettas fuel the narrative, and the line between right and wrong blurs into shades of gray. Family ties, whether by blood or loyalty, play a pivotal role, as characters grapple with the choices they've made and the consequences that come with it.

Price of Blood by TaGo_writes

Nearly 10 years-that's how long Cecelia has been alone. Abandoned. Exiled from the only family she's ever known for a crime she doesn't even remember committing. Sent away to a cold, unfamiliar boarding school in London, she learned to survive on her own, her past slipping away piece by piece after a tragic accident stole her memories. Now, her family exists only in the ink-stained pages of her diary-names without faces, stories without warmth. But when a sudden summons drags her back into their world, Cecelia is forced to confront the ghosts of her past. Her family still blames her. Their eyes hold nothing but resentment. And worst of all, she has no idea what she did to deserve their hatred. Thrown into a brutal world of crime, power, and secrets, Cecelia finds herself entangled in a dangerous game-one where trust is scarce, loyalty is tested, and betrayal lurks in every shadow. As she fights to reclaim the life that was stolen from her, she must face the ultimate question: Can she ever truly go home, or was she never meant to belong in the first place?

Deadly game| 18+ by xona2o18

Amari never imagined her dream vacation in a luxurious Italian villa would turn into a nightmare. What was supposed to be two weeks of relaxation and solitude quickly spirals into a fight for survival when, on the very first night, she accidentally witnesses a brutal murder. Trapped in a villa meant to be her sanctuary, she soon realizes that she's not alone-and she's certainly not safe. Enzo, a powerful and ruthless mafia businessman, has just uncovered a traitor in his midst, someone sabotaging everything he's worked for. He's already had a day from hell, and the last thing he expects to find in his villa is a foreign reporter. But her presence isn't a coincidence. She's connected to everything he's been trying to unravel, and she's the key to getting answers. With his patience thinning and his secrets on the line, Enzo will stop at nothing to make her crack. She may be the one thing standing between him and the truth, but she's about to find out that the only thing more dangerous than a murderer lurking in the shadows... is the man who will do anything to make her reveal what she knows. In a game of cat and mouse where no one can be trusted, Amari must navigate the treacherous world she's found herself in, where every move could be her last-and where a slow-burn attraction with the man who holds her captive might be the most dangerous game of all.

Shadows and Secrets by omgilovehotdads

In The heart of a bustling city, five lifelong friends share an unbreakable bond. They laugh together, celebrate together, and protect each other at all costs. But beneath the surface, each of them hides a deadly secret-each one is a rising force within rival mafia factions, unknowingly sworn enemies in a ruthless underworld war. Despite their loyalty to one another, they're all part of the same deadly game. Years ago, they made a pact: No matter what, their friendship comes first. They agreed never to let the bloodstained world they inherited define their relationships. But as tensions rise between their families, that pact is tested in ways they never imagined. At the center of it all is Lena and Nathan , two members of the group whose connection has always been undeniable. They've been dancing around their feelings for years, but with war brewing between their families, love seems impossible. As they finally give in, they realize the truth-Lena's father has placed a bounty on Nathan's head, and Nathan's gang has targeted Lena's older brother for assassination. As blood is spilled and lines blur, they're faced with the ultimate question: Can friendship and love survive in a world where loyalty is a death sentence? With a final confrontation looming, Lena and Nathan make a desperate plan to escape the city together, leaving the mafia life behind. But when betrayals are revealed and bullets fly, only some of them will make it out alive. Will love conquer their fate, or will the mafia's grip prove stronger than the bonds they swore to protect?

Saisha: Captive of His Sin by author_elina

✧.* 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐕𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 ✧.* For three years, Saisha Roy had been receiving mysterious recordings. Therapy sessions of a stranger. A man consumed by obsession, his voice dripping with madness as he spiraled deeper into his own darkness. She called him Mr. Psycho. It was harmless. Just recordings. Just a voice from a country far across the world. Until the last one arrived. Until she realized they were meant for her. And the man behind them was not just some voice lost in the dark. He was Rayan Martínez. A powerful businessman. Unhinged. Destructive. A man who had spent three years searching for someone, his obsession so consuming that therapy was the only thing keeping him from losing control. And now, he had found her. She swore to kill him before he could take everything from her. But fate had other plans. The only person who promised to help her destroy him was the man she had saved. A stranger with no past. No memories. Yet, every time she looked into his emerald-green eyes and heard his deep voice, she was dragged back to those recordings. The way he spoke. The way his words wrapped around her like a noose. It was too familiar. Had she saved a stranger or unknowingly let the devil himself into her home?
