Evangeline Patel had a rule: matchmaking was business, not personal. She prided herself on keeping it that way. Love wasn't a mystery to her; it was a carefully calibrated algorithm of compatibility, shared goals, and communication styles. And she was the undisputed queen of cracking the code.
So when her sister Meera cornered her one Sunday afternoon with an urgent plea, Evangeline hesitated.
"His name's Ethan Walsh," Meera said, showing Evangeline a photo on her phone. The guy in the picture had a boyish grin and messy brown hair that looked like it had never met a comb.
Evangeline raised an eyebrow. "You want me to matchmake...him?"
"Yes," Meera said. "He's my coworker and friend. He's smart, funny, and, believe it or not, actually looking for something serious. He just-well, he's not great at the whole dating thing."
"And I'm supposed to fix that?"
Meera leaned forward, hands clasped. "Please, Evangeline. You're the best at this. He deserves a shot."
Evangeline sighed. "Fine. But if he's late to the meeting, I'm out."

Protecting You ("The Shadows" Series: Book I)
"We are here with you." She said and hugged me with gentleness. My shoulder sagged in relief as I hugged her back. She broke the hug and caressed my hair. "You know her?" Ryan asked, confusion evident in his voice. Wow!!! He never showed his emotion in public. Maybe his family being here made him act like a normal guy!! "Yes. I gave her photo to you after your meeting yesterday." His father said as he came by my side and patted my back. I gave him a small smile. I had never met him and his wife before, but the closeness between him and and my father was evident by the way his forehead held creases and by the tension all over his face. Still he was making me feel like a daughter to him. "Which photo?" He asked and suddenly the realization crossed his eyes. "Is she-" "The one you will be marrying Ryan. She is your soon-to-be wife." His father declared as he looked at me with shock. "Did you know that?" He said, his face void of any emotion. I nodded while looking anywhere but him. He cursed under his breath and his mother was about to scold him for that when he looked at me in anger and frustration. I gulped.

Made For Me
Aaron Russo - Don of the Russo mafia. "To kill or be killed" He had many women in his life but the one thing he didn't do was love or relationships.

His main objectives are making money, killing traitors and over powering every other mob. That's until he laid eyes on her. Aaron Russo may not do love or relationships, but he knew she was going to be his. She was made for him. Florence Stan - First year uni student. Finally away from strict parents and boyfriend. Studying, making friends and partying is on her agenda for the next three years while she stays in accommodation.

Little did she know the "freedom" she thought she'd just gained would disappear once again. She would no longer be her father's property but his. •• "Well you didn't think I'd just sit here, accept your deal and fall at your knees begging for you to be with me forever, did you?" I smile at her causing her smile to drop. "Don't answer that, you proved you were a freak when you kidnapped me. Anyways, since I have lived with my father for 18 years, I know what men like you and him are like, there's no way for me to get out of this. So, for the next two years I will do everything to make you hate me, I will make you wish you never brought me into your life. By time It gets to the end you will be begging my father to take me back." I slowly get up and walk around the table till I'm right in front of her. Her breathing hitches as I sit on the desk with my hands on my knees, bent down inches away from her face "Princess, I don't beg, the only person who will be begging is you when you want me to fuck that sweet little pussy of yours.

Yours to Ruin
I felt my breath hitch as my back hit the wall, but I was too lost in the ocean of his dark, stormy eyes to think rationally. "Why don't you stay away from me... I don't want to be the monster that steals all your light away, bellissima. I don't want to ruin you." His voice was deep, husky, his fingers brushing a strand of hair from my face, his gaze flickering from my eyes to my lips. But he didn't scare me. He never did. "But I want to be yours. Yours to ruin, Silas." My voice was soft, but my words were a promise. I rested my palm on his chest, feeling the rapid beat of his heart beneath my touch. His eyes shut tight, his jaw clenched as he took a shuddering breath. "Dio, Bella... you're killing me." And then his lips crashed onto mine, his hands roaming my body, claiming me as his. Finally. -.-.- Silas Moretti. Don of the most dangerous Italian mafia. Cold, ruthless-a monster bound for hell. For years, he's had his eyes set on Aurelia Martínez-his best friend's little sister. Sweet, young, innocent. An angel destined for heaven. She was his drop of holy water in a life drenched in blood. And he? He was her drop of sin, tempting her into darkness. He kept his distance, convincing himself it was for her own good. But when fate ties them together in an arranged marriage, there's no running anymore. Because now? She's his. His to ruin.
