Alessia Romano has spent her life in a poor, forgotten corner of the city, barely scraping by. Raised by her sickly grandmother, she works tirelessly in their struggling flower shop, her only escape the vibrant blooms she arranges and the stories she writes in a worn leather journal. Sheltered, broken and kind-hearted, Alessia has always been invisible to the dangerous world of the mafia, until the night she saves a man's life without knowing who he truly is.
Giovanni Moretti, the ruthless and enigmatic underboss of the Moretti family, is a man who commands loyalty and fear in equal measure. Wounded and hunted after an ambush, he stumbles into Alessia's flower shop, seeking refuge. Feeling her gentle touch, something stirs within him for the first time in years, a longing for a kind of life he never believed he could have. From that moment, he is consumed by the desire to protect her, even if it means dragging her into his dangerous world and sacrificing it all.

Beneath His Control
He used to bully her. Now he owns her. When Alessia Romano walked into her new job at De Luca Enterprises, the last face she expected to see was his-Giovanni De Luca, the rich, sadistic bastard who tormented her in college... and the man who now controls her career, her body, and her every breath. Worse? He's not just a billionaire CEO. He's the boss of the Italian Mafia-and he's been waiting for her. Giovanni doesn't just want Alessia under his command-he wants her on her knees, begging, branded, and broken in all the ways only he can deliver. And when she resists, he doesn't fire her. He cages her. The tension is unbearable. The sex? Rough, possessive, and addictive. He spanks. He binds. He whispers filth in Italian while she moans into silk sheets. And despite her defiance, her hate, her fear-her body keeps surrendering. But Alessia is no longer the scared girl from college. She's smarter. Angrier. And dangerously close to falling in love with the devil who's tying her wrists and stealing her soul. In a world of secrets, bullets, and obsession, love isn't safe. It's a weapon.

Dangerous Affection
Love was never in Natalia Santos' vocabulary. Scarred inside and out by a childhood of abuse, she's built her life on survival, not trust. The military gave her purpose, but not peace.

When her brother pulls her into the dangerous world of the Moretti crime family, Natalia swears she won't let herself get attached. Especially not to him-Derek Moretti. Cold. Calculated. Powerful. A man who sees everything, and trusts no one. What begins as necessity soon feels like belonging. Yet in the world of power and blood, love is the most dangerous risk of all. And when Natalia starts to realize Derek might be the one man who sees her for who she truly is, she'll have to decide if she can let herself fall... or if love will destroy her the way it destroyed her father. A fierce heroine. A ruthless mafia boss. An enemies-to-lovers story where loyalty is tested, scars become symbols of strength, and love might be the most lethal weapon of all. **I UPDATED WEEKLY!** All rights reserved. Do not copy my work.

The Last Oath
Alessia Moretti has always known her role: the dutiful daughter of one of Italy's most feared mafia bosses, a porcelain jewel locked away in silk and shadow. Her life has been carefully arranged-glittering parties, whispered alliances, and the unspoken truth that her every choice reflects on the empire her father built from blood and fire. But when fate draws her into the path of Dario Vitale, the son of her father's sworn enemy, the fragile order of her world begins to shatter. Dario is everything she has been warned against-ruthless, magnetic, and bound by a family oath to destroy the Morettis at any cost. Their first meeting is a spark, their second a blaze, and soon Alessia finds herself consumed by a passion that is as forbidden as it is irresistible. Their love is a betrayal written in the language of bullets and blood. To be discovered means certain death, not only for them but for everyone caught between their families' feud. Yet secrecy cannot hold forever, and every stolen glance, every midnight encounter, draws them closer to exposure-and to a war that could burn the city to ash. As loyalty and desire wage war in her heart, Alessia must choose: her family's empire, or the man she was never meant to love. But in a world where betrayal is survival and oaths are carved in blood, no choice comes without sacrifice.
