VELVET
She is the heiress to the French throne.
He is the king of the underworld.
And between them stands a child lost in the night.
Aurélienne Isabeau de Montrevé has spent her life bound by duty, her existence a carefully crafted illusion of perfection. But when she stumbles upon a lost boy in the rain, her world shifts in ways she never expected. She doesn't know his name, only that he clings to her with quiet desperation-and that danger lurks in the shadows behind him.
Dante Valenti is a man feared by many and trusted by none. As the ruthless head of the Valenti crime syndicate, he has built an empire on blood and loyalty. But when his son disappears, only to be found in the arms of a woman who belongs to a world he cannot touch, his carefully controlled life spirals into chaos.
She should walk away.
He should take his son and forget her.
But neither of them can.
Bound by fate, drawn together by the innocent child between them, Aurélienne and Dante find themselves caught in a war of power, passion, and secrets-where love may be the most dangerous game of all.
In a world of crowns and crime, can a princess survive the wrath of a king?

Chains Made Of Silk (Completed)
Aurelia was once a nameless maid-obedient, quiet, invisible. But years of servitude taught her one truth: power doesn't belong to those who inherit it. It belongs to those willing to bleed for it. One night, she seized it. She slaughtered the royal family, took the crown, and made herself Queen. The only one she spared? Seraphina-the former princess, now a prisoner in her own palace. Once her mistress, now her captive. Once her dream, now her regret. But history between them runs deeper than anyone suspects. Before rebellion, before betrayal... there were glances. Secrets. Longing. And something dangerous neither of them dared name. Now, with Seraphina under house arrest and Aurelia sitting on a throne drenched in blood, their story begins again-not as ruler and servant, but as two monsters shaped by love, obsession, and the cost of freedom. Maybe she wanted the crown. Maybe she just wanted her. Maybe... she wanted both. ⚠️ Content Warning: dark romance, manipulation, obsession, murder, power imbalance, confinement > More of this chaos?

For a Mobster ✔️
In a world built on rules, what they feel for each other is a massacre. ✦ ✦ ✦ Alessandra "Sessie" Benedetti was never meant to want things, and never allowed to refuse them. As one of the consigliere's docile daughters, her entire future had been stamped since she could tie her own shoelace. Marry Tiziano, the Don's volatile son. Smile at everything. Obey every rule. Die quietly inside. So when she dares to want something for herself, just once, her father makes sure she never forgets the price of defiance. Broken and bleeding from her furnished cage, Alessandra makes a break for it, only to discover life outside the cage is just as deadly. In Chicago, her last name makes her more disposable than desirable. Enter Renzo Santoro. Her family's most dangerous enemy. The last man she should ever be within ten feet of, much less want. She saves his life on instinct, with an identity that doesn't exist. Before she can regret either of those decisions, Renzo is already orbiting her little world. And the girl raised to fear men like him? She's starting to think fear and desire might feel exactly the same. When Renzo finds out who she really is, there is no corner of this earth cold enough to contain what she unlocks in him--the fury that wants a bullet in her, and the fixation that wants her regardless. Now the only thing more dangerous than loving a man like Renzo... is what he'll do to keep her from the men who got to break her before he even knew her. And that... that's when the real war begins. ✧･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✦ ✦ ✦ :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ: ✧･ﾟ: ✦ ✦ ✦ :･ﾟ✧:･ﾟ✧ Ranked #2 in Mafialove Ranked #6 in loveandloyalty Ranked #3 in raging Ranked #1 in mobster Ranked #3 in loveindanger Ranked #11 in badboylovComplete
