Bella, a bright and ambitious young woman fresh out of college, has her entire life ahead of her. But one fateful evening, everything changes. In a shocking turn of events, she's kidnapped and thrust into a dangerous world she never knew existed-a world ruled by five enigmatic brothers who run one of the most feared crime syndicates in the city.
At first, Bella is consumed by fear and resentment, desperate to escape the confines of her captors. But as days turn to weeks, she begins to uncover the layers beneath their hardened exteriors. Each brother harbors his own secrets, struggles, and a past that binds them together in ways Bella could never have imagined.
What starts as a battle for her freedom evolves into something unexpected. Bella finds herself drawn into their complex world, her heart torn between defiance and the growing connections she can't ignore.

But in a world steeped in danger, loyalty is tested, and betrayal lurks around every corner. Bella must navigate the thin line between love and survival, discovering truths that will change her life forever.
"Bounded by five" is a gripping tale of resilience, unexpected bonds, and the power of love in the unlikeliest of places. Will Bella find her freedom, or will she choose to stay and rewrite the rules of their dark world?

On her eighteenth birthday, Raven should feel excitement-but instead, she feels fear. The day is meant to mark a new beginning, yet her mother is gone, and the pack she calls family has never truly accepted her.

Thank you for letting Raven crash into your world-she promises not to bite... too much.Complete
She's His Mission
COMPLETED ✔️ "I want you to fuck off" I growl back to him and step away. Although I want to pull him further to me. "I rather think you want me to stay?" His hand again reaches my neck, my eyes connect to his and that moment I knew I couldn't pull away. --- She's running from the man she loves... into the arms of a man who could save her-or destroy her. Katerina has been outrunning death for five years. Ever since she walked away from her father-and the violent empire he built-she's learned one rule: trust no one. She works alone. No partners. No witnesses. No help. But survival comes at a price. She's forgotten what love feels like. That changes the night of the Mafia Ball. Everything finally seems to fall into place... until it all explodes. Katerina finds herself in the hands of a man with his own dangerous agenda-and no intention of letting her go. Enter Roman Fernandez, a powerful stranger offering protection, partnership... and something she hasn't felt in years: desire. His gorgeous green eyes are hard enough to resist-but his deathly grip and whispered confessions make him impossible to ignore. For the first time, Katerina isn't just fighting for her life-she's fighting to feel again. But just when her new life starts to feel real, her past resurfaces with blood on its hands. And at the center of it is the man she once vowed forever to-the husband she left behind, the only one who knows her and how to break her. He doesn't like to share. And Katerina? She was always his mission. Now, love becomes a battlefield-and the prize is her soul. --- "I really love this book and I can't wait for the next chapter!"
