"Then why did you kiss me?" She demanded, her voice breaking. 
V looked at her with a sadness that cut deeper that words. "Because foe once, I wanted to feel alive."

In a dark, enchanting world where secrets thrive and love is a rebellion, two women from opposite paths find themselves drawn together at an exclusive masquerade ball. One is Esme, a reclusive artist who hides her identity behind the veil of her paintings. The other is Vivienne, a bold and ambitious noblewoman trapped in a gilded cage of expectations. Their chance meeting sets them on a journey of passion, mystery, and defiance against societal norms. 

The story weaves between their clandestine meetings, their struggles to overcome the shadows of their pasts, and the risks they take to be together in a world that forbids their love.

[CASTELLO DI CARTE MAFIA CHRONICLES, #2] [Formerly known as *Possession: The Game of Clubs*] 𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 What is worse than being forced to marry a man you've never even met? I'll answer it. Drinking with a man who's off-limits and sleeping with him just to prove a point. Plus points, if he's not the man you're supposed to marry. After one drunken mistake with the enemy, I swore to never entertain him again. But the next time we met, things turned a little too hot in the bathroom. He was the enemy, one I should've known better than to involve myself with, but I couldn't resist his unbreakable allure. His need for me kindled a spark that made me lose control and forget who I was. Sex was not the only reason. It was the way he softly whispered sweet words into my ears and the way he held me. It was the intensity with which he looked at me and made me feel desired. There was one tiny problem. His marriage was in four months. To the woman who called me her friend. 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐎 They say there's pleasure in tasting the things you cannot have. Forbidden passion has its own mind when deep-rooted inside someone. I never knew the depth of these words until I saw her-the woman desired by many but touched by none. She was the brightest pink rose in a sea full of white ones. She was covered in thorns, a boundary only I dared to cross because I had nothing to lose. Only, she wasn't mine, nor I, hers. Every moment we spent together reminded us of the reality meant for us. Some sacrifices are made for the greater good, but what good comes from leaving behind the one thing you never had and have finally found? She surrendered herself to me. Body and soul. Until the end of our agreement. So what if one of us wanted more in the end? What if the one was me?

What does it mean to love with your whole being? To give yourself to someone in body, heart, and soul, only to have your world unravel? And what happens when the pieces you thought were broken beyond repair are scattered again by unexpected encounters with men who each awaken a different part of you? In The Men Who Marked Me, a 40-year-old woman revisits the scars of her past, the thrill of forbidden desire, and the hope of rediscovered love. Torn between three men-her ex-husband Howard, who shattered her with betrayal but still ignites a familiar ache; Allan, the younger naval officer who reignited her passion in secret moments of stolen time; and Jaden, a free-spirited stranger who kisses her as if her very existence matters-she struggles to define what love means to her now. But life is never simple, and neither is love. Just as she begins to believe she might find clarity, Jonathan, her steadfast confidant, steps from the shadows with a love that's been there all along. From the intoxicating heat of desire to the haunting wounds of heartbreak, this is a story about finding yourself amidst the chaos of relationships.

The Men Who Marked Me is a deeply sensual, emotional journey of self-discovery, choices, and the courage to embrace the love you deserve. Will she choose the familiar, the forbidden, the new, or the constant? Or will she find that the real choice lies in how she learns to love herself? This novel is for women who want to feel seen, who crave a story that dares to explore the complexities of intimacy, and who believe that even after heartbreak, love can come in many forms-and sometimes, it's worth the wait. Dive into a story where every touch tells a story, every kiss leaves a mark, and every man holds a piece of her heart. Will you discover which piece she chooses?

Fated Series. Book #2 "Be possessive of me, own me, keep me, because if you do then nothing and no one else can." - Maddox. My name is Maddox Vallero, and I'm dead. Well, that's not quite true. I'm alive in the breathing, walking, talking sense-but that's about where it ends. The ghosts in my head remind me daily that I'm just a shell. Physically present, mentally shattered. For years, I've let time slip past, ticking away like I'm still trapped in that coffin, six feet under, slowly losing pieces of myself. I gave up long before I even opened my eyes this morning. So when you see me smiling, promising you the world, it's all a lie. And you'll believe it, because I'm that good. Lying, cheating, tricking-it's my game. I'm a master at making you trust in the illusion, even as I turn around and steal everything back. But somewhere along the line, I tricked myself. Now, I don't know where my lies end and the truth begins. My sanity's as fragile as the mask I wear. Then she walked in. The executive assistant I was forced to hire-a woman who sees straight through me. I lie, and she calls me on it. I grin, and she tells me to drop the act. She's the one person who refuses to fall for my games, who somehow slips past every defense I've ever built. And with her, I'm starting to see the shadows I live among. Sounds simple? It's not. Life has its own twisted sense of humor, and fate is a cunning fox that delights in making things messy. I want her, but I've got attachment issues that could bury us both. She wants me, but her commitment issues make her run every time. And together, we're tangled in pasts that haunt us, presents that hurt, and futures that we're terrified to face. This is the story of what happens when two broken people collide, each one daring the other to start taking risks.
