Arthur, a man who commands respect and fear as a notorious figure in the criminal world, has a hard exterior that keeps everyone at bay-except for one person. Lila, his polar opposite, is the embodiment of sweetness and light, with her soft smiles, sunshine personality, and a love for baking. Despite Arthur's dangerous profession and the blood that stains his life, Lila sees beyond his rough exterior, offering him warmth and affection that he never thought he needed.
While Arthur indulges her every whim with lavish gifts and trips, he's constantly on edge, knowing that his enemies are never far behind, and his greatest weakness is the one person who means everything to him. As they navigate the complexities of their relationship, Arthur's protective instincts clash with Lila's gentle nature, creating moments of tension and tenderness. But when the bloodshed of Arthur's world starts to seep into their quiet life, Lila is forced to face the dangers surrounding the man she loves.
With a backdrop of high-stakes danger, unexpected vulnerability, and a love that defies the odds, this story explores the balance between strength and softness, loyalty and love, in a world where trust is fragile, and hearts are tested.All Rights Reserved

Soft Curves, Sharp Edges by Aurelia_rose_black

He's danger wrapped in designer suits. She's sunshine in stilettos. Together, they're fire and honey. Alessio De Luca doesn't do softness. The heir to one of New York's most feared crime families, his world is blood, control, and cold-blooded power. But when his empire crosses paths with her-a curvy, confident, and unapologetically sweet bakery owner named Lila Monroe-his iron resolve begins to crumble. Lila has never met a man like Alessio: terrifying, intense, and sinfully gorgeous. And though she knows better than to get involved with the mafia, something about his fierce protectiveness draws her in like gravity. She bakes cookies. He breaks kneecaps. But when the underworld targets her for reasons she doesn't yet understand, Alessio will do anything-burn cities, kill kings, and betray his bloodline-to protect the woman who's made his cold heart feel warm for the first time. This is a story of obsession, seduction, body positivity, danger, and a love that refuses to stay in the lines.

Only Yours by thatbih14_

BOOK #1 "What are you going to do? You can't kill me. I am the most skilled person in this mafia hands down. Hell.. I even beat you! 'The big, bad mafia Don'," I said putting my face infront of his to show that I'm not intimidated. He then looked at me as if I was his prey. I mean I know I'm hot, but I didn't think I was that hot. I brought his face closer to mine. I shivered as his lips very lightly grazed mine.

When both mafias are faced with a dangerous threat, they're forced to work together to protect their families, and unexpected sparks fly.
