She's the key to protecting his family's power. Polar opposites who are masters of manipulation play mind games on trust's battle field, and getting tangled in the web of lies risks more than their sanity, it threatens the stability of their real identities. After all, gathering this intel requires understanding everything about a man connected to her in ways she never dreamed possible, and Elena Ventura never was a fair match against her compassion for hidden beauty. Nor has Valerio Oliveira ever known a woman with an infinitely complex mind. She's a perfect match for his competitiveness, her attitude the cherry on top, but she lies like it's her first nature. The longer LA's crime lord uses her to eliminate two enemies at once, the biggest being a high-ranking Special Agent of the FBI's CID, Elena's childhood mentor who hapharzardly enlisted her, the longer she has to learn exactly how to ruin him with life in prison.

Melancholy by justmikame

Elena Romano, a fierce and unyielding lawyer, becomes the only person who can keep Tristan Valenti, a notorious and untouchable mafia kingpin, out of prison. But as she's drawn deeper into his dangerous world, she discovers that the battle isn't just about saving him from the law-it's about saving him from himself. Yet in breaking every rule she's sworn to uphold, Elena risks losing more than her morals-she risks losing her heart to the man who might be beyond redemption. Melancholy - a bittersweet ache that lingers in the soul, like the taste of wine that's both bitter and intoxicating. It's the quiet storm of longing and loss, woven with moments of beauty so fleeting they hurt. Just like what Elena and Tristan want-something so consuming, it borders on destruction. Their love is jagged yet tender, a sanctuary wrapped in shadows where passion wars with despair. It's the sharp edges of love, the bruises of trust, and the haunting allure of wanting what might ruin you, yet never being able to let it go.
