The Forbidden Accord by Ms_SanelyInsane

In the glittering world of Regency era high society, where power is as intoxicating as champagne and betrayal is served on silver trays, two of England's most influential families have been at war for generations. A broken betrothal in the past left a rift too deep to mend, turning the Ashfords and the von Weissenburgs into sworn enemies. Their wealth rivals that of kingdoms, their influence extends to the Crown itself- but their hatred for one another burns even fiercer. Lady Amalia von Weissenburg, daughter of a powerful Anglo-German lineage, is sharp-witted, fiercely independent and utterly uninterested in marriage. Lord Nathaniel Ashford is arrogant, ruthless and exasperatingly charming. They should despise each other. And they do. Until fate, in all its cruel irony forces them into a tangled web of secrets, schemes and a dangerously undeniable attraction. As whispered rumors swirl through the ballrooms of London and the weight of their families' rivalry passes down on them Amalia and Nathaniel must decide : will they fight for their pride or risk everything for a love that was never meant to be? Let the games begin.

Mafia, Mayhem & Maybe-Visions by Yimora_Alvy

Zia, a feisty Polynesian island girl with a secret ability to see the future, has found herself in the worst possible situation-sold into a high-end secret brothel in Italy, where foreign girls are auctioned off to the criminal elite. Luckily, the owners are keeping their "goods fresh," meaning she and the others haven't been touched. But time is running out. Then, she gets a vision: Jax Vinci, a devastatingly handsome CEO and one of the most feared mafia bosses alive, is about to storm in and burn the whole operation to the ground. Jackpot. That's her way out. With nothing but pure nerve (and let's be real-desperation), Zia sneaks out of captivity and straight into the VIP room of the dangerous crime lord himself, dropping the bombshell: "I know you're about to obliterate this place in an hour" Jax is unimpressed. Why believe a random, barely-dressed girl in the middle of a human auction? But Zia isn't backing down. "I'll be useful." She swears. Famous last words. Sure, Jax saves her-and the other girls-but let's get one thing straight: he's no knight in shining armour. Ruthless? Check. A mind balanced between calculated sociopathy and subtle psychopathic tendencies? Double check. Zia is stuck with a man who treats emotions as an afterthought and intimidation like an art form. Surviving him is one thing. Keeping up? That's another. And falling for the dark brooding mafia boss who just might be worse than the monsters he destroyed? (Yeah... she's in trouble) (All characters and events in this story are purely fictional. Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is purely coincidental.)
