She came to Venice for an escape. He offered her a reason to stay.

Joseline never thought she'd be reckless. But when a stranger with dark eyes and an even darker past sweeps into her life, she finds herself drawn into a world she never imagined. Roman is all charm and danger-a man whose presence commands attention, whose touch ignites desire, and whose secrets could shatter everything.

She knows she should walk away. He never should have let her in. But in the city of romance, where passion and peril intertwine, neither of them can resist the pull.

As Joseline explores Venice, Roman becomes her unexpected guide-showing her the beauty hidden within its winding canals and whispering streets. But beneath the city's elegance lies a shadowy underworld, and Roman's ties to it run deep. The man who has given her adventure is the same man who could destroy her.

When danger closes in, Joseline must decide: will she trust Roman with her heart, or will she become another casualty of his world?All Rights Reserved

Where Mercy Sleeps by sexiijutsu

Synopsis: Her parents raised her to save lives. He was born to take them. At twenty-three, Dr. Evangeline James has her dream job and a haunted heart. One of Manhattan's youngest pediatric surgeons, she spends her days stitching up children and her nights keeping her demons in check. Raised under her parents' strict Southern roof-with gospel in her ears and shame stitched into her spine-Evangeline ran to New York for more than ambition. She came for air. For control. For secrets. She never expected to find him-a man bleeding to death behind a dumpster in the freezing cold, clutching a gun like it was a lifeline. One look into those brutal, obsidian eyes and Evangeline knew: this man was not a victim. He was a threat. And somehow, she still brought him home. He said his name was Lorenzo DeLuca. She knew it belonged to a monster. Not just a mafia prince-but the heir to the DeLuca empire. A man carved from violence and baptized in blood. A man who's used to getting what he wants-and now he wants her. Lorenzo is sin in human form. dark silk, loaded guns, and soft-spoken commands. He makes promises that sound like threats and touches her like she's already his. He says he'll protect her from his world-but his world is made of bodies, betrayal, and war. And Evangeline? She's no saint. What begins as a mercy spirals into a dangerous obsession. He's possessive. Unforgiving. Addicted. And the deeper Evangeline falls into Lorenzo's shadows, the more she questions everything-her morals, her loyalties, even her own pleasure. Because nothing about this is holy. Nothing about him is safe. But God, she craves him anyway. And she might not survive what loving him will cost.

The head of the Italian Mafia, he moves through the world like a king, his power absolute, his sins written in blood. And she can't resist him. At first, it's just a game. She throws herself at him, reckless and curious, drawn to the danger in his smirk. He indulges her, amused by her boldness-until he isn't. Because Salvatore discovers two things: 1. She's the daughter of the famous politician he murdered years ago. 2. She's been talking to the police. Now, she's not just a plaything. She's a target. But the closer he gets to ending her, the harder it is to resist the fire between them. Every touch is a battle. Every kiss is a betrayal. She should hate him. He should kill her. Yet the line between revenge and obsession blurs, and soon, neither can tell where the vendetta ends... and the passion begins.
