Under His Shadow de dabrattahri

Autumn Beaumont is a brilliant, fiercely independent young woman determined to leave her mark on the world. With a full scholarship to a prestigious university in Rome, she's ready to start over-rebuilding her life after losing both her parents in the same year. She has her goals set, her heart guarded, and her future mapped out. But fate has other plans. When Autumn crosses paths with Antonio DeRucci-the most feared Mafia boss in Italy-her carefully built world begins to unravel. Ruthless, powerful, and dangerously magnetic, Antonio is a man who takes whatever he wants... and now, he wants her. What begins as a chance encounter soon turns into something far more sinister. One moment, Autumn is studying beneath the golden glow of Rome's evening lights-and the next, she's swept into a world of luxury, violence, and secrets that could cost her everything. Antonio never believed he was capable of love-until the American girl with fire in her eyes made him question everything he's ever known. But obsession can be a dangerous thing... and when power, passion, and possession collide, someone always gets burned.

Promises We Never Meant de booksByA99

One house. One twisted family. Anora Gray. She was...everything. She was a princess. She grew up in a well- family. Obviously, she had her own secrets, her own troubles, but she never let that affect her. Matteo Reed. Where do I even start? If it was possible, he would've walked with a bright warning sign. He was the disappointment of the family. The one who you never expected anything from. Anora once thought Matteo was her forever. Wild, reckless, and thrillingly unpredictable, he was everything she wasn't-and everything she thought she wanted. But danger and immaturity don't build a future, and when their love burnt out, she walked away, leaving him and the chaos behind. Months later, fate took an unexpected turn. She met Matteo's brother, Luca- the steady one, the kind one, the man who offered her the stability and tenderness she never knew she needed. Slowly, love blossomed again, this time safer, deeper... and lasting. Now, she's engaged, and a new life with his brother is only months away. But the past doesn't stay buried. To keep family peace, the boy she once loved-the same boy she left-is forced to help plan the wedding. With every shared moment, old wounds reopen, unspoken words resurface, and a dangerous question lingers: Did she really choose the right brother... or the safe one?
