In The Arms of Ivan Dimitri
Crystal Eliza Crest had lived a life of privilege, untouched by the brutality that built her father's empire. She had everything-wealth, loyalty, and power-without ever realizing the blood that kept it intact. But ignorance wasn't immunity, and when the war between mafias took a personal turn, her world shattered. Ivan Sergio Dimitri had been raised in violence, molded into a leader with a single mission-destroy the American Mafia and show no mercy. He knew nothing of softness, only power and control. When Crystal fell into his hands, she was nothing more than leverage, a pawn to be used and discarded. She wasn't strong. She wasn't a fighter. Fear ruled her, yet she clung to the hope that someone would save her. But Ivan had no patience for weakness, and in his world, the only way to survive was to obey. He was the devil-ruthless and unyielding. She was a prisoner-fragile and powerless. Their paths were never meant to cross, yet here they were, bound by fate, trapped in a war that neither of them could escape. Would she learn to endure the darkness, or would Ivan crush her completely? Warning: This is an extremely dark romance. It delves into themes of power, control, and brutality.

Sinful Flames
As we race away in the car, a storm of anger and fear swells inside me. How could she be so reckless? How could she risk everything like that? When the empty road stretches before us, I slam on the brakes, my heart pounding in my chest. I throw the door open and pull Chiara out with me, my hands trembling with frustration. "What the hell were you thinking?" I shout, my voice raw and shaking. She glares at me, defiance blazing in her eyes. "Why do you even care?" she fires back, her voice dripping with disdain. Without thinking, I grab her, pulling her so close that her breath mingles with mine in the cold night air. "Because you belong to me," I whisper, my voice low and dangerous. "Mine to protect, mine to punish, mine to destroy if I have to." Her eyes widen, shock flickering across her face, but there's something else-a wild, reckless pull, an attraction that mirrors my own. We're both trapped, caught in a fire neither of us can control. In that moment, I know we're dancing on the edge of something dangerous. But sometimes, it's the flames that pull us in. --- "When Chiara Moon, a journalist with dreams of becoming an investigative reporter, is sent to interview Gabriel Romano, the elusive owner of a powerful IT firm, their worlds collide. As she uncovers whispers of his mafia ties, she's thrust into a game of secrets and lies. Now, Chiara must choose-pursue her ambition and expose him, or risk it all to trust a man who could destroy everything she's worked for."Lengkap
