Two worlds. One destiny. A love born in the chaos of secrets.

Elena Carter is a gifted doctor who hides her troubled past behind humor and a clumsy charm. Adrian Castellanos is a royal Mafia boss, cloaked in power, anger, and shadows. When their grandparents arrange their marriage, it's not love at first sight-it's war.

Forced into a union neither wanted, they clash at every turn. But beneath the arguments lies an undeniable pull neither can resist. As their worlds collide, Elena discovers Adrian's dark secrets, and he begins to unravel the pain she's buried deep within.

Amid enemies, betrayals, and their reluctant vows, can love find a way to bloom in the shadows? Or will the weight of their hidden worlds tear them apart forever?

Zaviero De Santis, The Maestro. *** Zaviero They call me The Maestro, for sinister reasons. You see, corruption and depravity sings in my soul, an unending melody into darkness. As the Don, the Italian underworld is my brutal symphony and my heart? A callous stone that beats only for vengeance. When I am faced with the task of producing an heir, I already know who my bride is. Her. The girl I left behind. Kaira He was my best friend, an almost lover. Until a dark tragedy tore us apart. Now, he's back with an ultimatum I had no idea of-get married to him or face the dire consequences. And this time, he's more savage. Dangerous. Wicked. While I tell myself I am done with the blood stained lies and the gory secrets, those silver eyes of his, reveal a different story. Beneath that ruthless exterior is a boy who once held my heart. And now, a naive part of me is drawn to the sensual pleasures he promises. To the fiery touch of sin. His sins. But in a world where betrayal is currency and love begets weakness, loving him might come at a dark cost-my life. An 18+ Dark Mafia Arranged Marriage (Book 1 of The Touch of Sinners)

Bound by Honor *2ND DRAFT* by Raeladybug

Hi guys! 🥰 I'm so thankful for all the sweet comments on my first draft! This is the second draft of my book, and I completely rewrote it ✨ I really hope it's even better than the first and that you enjoy it 💖 If you see anything I could add, fix, or make better, please tell me-I take your feedback to heart 💌 When two powerful families unite in a marriage of convenience, sparks of strategy, tension, and forbidden emotion ignite. Estella Moretti is poised to inherit her father's empire, a woman sharp, ambitious, and fiercely independent. Malakai Moretti, a calculating heir to a world both luxurious and dangerous, enters her life as a husband-but also as a partner in business, power, and influence. Their marriage begins with formality and distance, a delicate dance of boundaries and unspoken curiosity. But as they navigate gala appearances, high-stakes meetings, and the merging of two vast empires, Estella discovers that Malakai's interest is more than strategic. Thoughtful gestures, secret letters, and quiet moments of care begin to unravel her defenses-though she is still learning how to trust, and to feel. With her brother Easton watching closely, protecting and guiding her, Estella must balance her growing reliance on Malakai with the lessons of her past. As the two of them emerge as a power couple, publicly unstoppable and privately close, one question remains: can a marriage built for business survive-and even thrive-when hearts are finally involved? A story of ambition, love, and loyalty, where trust is earned, boundaries are respected, and the strongest alliances are forged not only in power, but in the quietest moments between two people.

Wedded In Mafia by itsthegiaera

Damian Russo was a man who knew loss. After the tragic death of his beloved Sophia, he buried his heart in ice, unwilling to feel again. But his father had other plans-grief wasn't an excuse in the mafia world. To secure their empire, Damian was forced into an arranged marriage with Natalia Kozlov, the fiery and untouchable daughter of the ruthless Russian mafia. From the moment they said "I do," their marriage was a warzone. She was his enemy. He was her captor. Over time, the lines between duty and desire blurred, and despite everything, they fell for each other in a way neither of them had ever imagined. She realized It wasn't hate she felt for Damian Russo. It was fire. When Natalia uncovered Damian's past, the man behind the monster, her own walls crumbled. And with them came the truth she had hidden her whole life. She wasn't a Kozlov at all. ***** Damian's eyes darkened, his lips curling into a smirk as he brushed a thumb over my trembling bottom lip. "Bite your lip," he murmured, her voice low and commanding. "Because once I start, you're going to forget how to breathe." ****** ********************************** (Match Made In Mafia #Book3) WEDDED IN MAFIA contains explicit language, intense action, and heavy smut. There are dark themes of betrayal, abuse, power struggles, and trust issues. The side characters bring in BxB drama in the later chapters, adding depth, emotional conflict, and even more chaos to the story. READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.
