Sylvia Matthews has always lived a simple life, working at a small-town diner, content with her modest existence. But when a chance opportunity knocks, she leaves her comfort zone behind and steps into the glittering world of corporate power. Hired as an intern by the enigmatic and ruthless CEO, Leo King, Sylvia is thrust into a world where ambition, secrets, and danger collide.
Leo King is everything Sylvia isn't: cold, calculating, and distant. His icy demeanor and unapproachable nature make him the kind of boss everyone fears. But what no one knows is that beneath his perfect, professional façade lies a man with a dark and dangerous past. Leo is not just a business tycoon-he's the feared and elusive mafia lord who rules a hidden empire, and the power he commands is as deadly as it is alluring.
Despite the gulf between them, Sylvia's cheerful, bubbly personality begins to break down Leo's walls. She refuses to cower in his presence, seeing something in him others can't-perhaps a glimmer of the man beneath the ice. As their professional relationship grows, so does an undeniable attraction, though Leo is determined to keep his feelings buried, knowing that falling for someone like Sylvia could bring dangerous consequences.
But secrets have a way of surfacing, and when Sylvia stumbles upon a part of Leo's world she was never meant to see, everything changes. Torn between her growing feelings for the man she's come to care for and the terrifying truth about his mafia ties, Sylvia must navigate a treacherous path where love, loyalty, and betrayal are all too real.
In a world where danger lurks around every corner, can Sylvia trust Leo with her heart? And more importantly, can she survive the consequences of loving a man with so much to lose?
"Beneath the Ice" is a captivating blend of romance, suspense, and danger-where the line between love and fear is razor-thin. Will Sylvia's light shine through the darkness, or will she be consumed by the shadows of Leo's world?

HIS MINI BEAR 2 by razzlestories
5 parts Ongoing Mature
Like in the deck of cards, the Ace outranks the King-and so does Ace Salvatore. A Greek-Italian mafia leader feared by all, Ace is a man of unspeakable cruelty, a calculated mind ruling an empire built on blood and terror. His face is a mystery- those who've seen it are long gone, silenced by his wrath. Manipulative, controlling, psychotic, and untouchable, he rules his empire with an iron fist, his past buried beneath layers of bloodshed and regret. His obsession with power and control leaves no room for weakness-not in himself, not in his enemies, and certainly not in others. When a desperate debtor can't repay what's owed, he offers something unexpected to settle the score: a little girl. Ace accepts the deal, not out of need, but because curiosity flickers in his mind- a curiosity he loathes. Yet the little girl is more than just an innocent. She unknowingly awakens ghosts of Ace's past- a life of betrayal, loss, and secrets he swore to bury. Even monsters have scars. The darkness that shaped him, the wounds he carries, and the revenge that fuels his every decision begin to resurface. The past never truly stays buried. As their worlds collide, her presence becomes both his salvation and his torment. But as the past catches up, threatening to destroy everything, Ace must face a harrowing choice: cling to the monster he's become, or risk everything for the one thing he never thought he'd have- a chance at redemption. Will his darkness consume her and change her? Or will she destroy him? #First book got removed by wattpad so I am updating it again.

"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world.

Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.

His Addiction ✓ by venusorionv
51 parts Complete Mature
This book can be read as a standalone, however, I advise you to read His Possession first. This would help you understand the context and not spoil the first book if you choose to read it after this one. ~~~~~~~~ One year has passed since Adena Madden left Italy and her past behind. One year since she left the man she fell in love with. She lived away from everyone she once knew. She wanted to take a break. One that let her enjoy the freedom and live like a regular person. Perhaps the lavish life that Nico offered her was too much for a girl like Dena. Except her life was never going to be simple. She was the weakness of the ruthless Italian mafia don. One that had more enemies than any person on the planet. She was the one thing people could hold against him. One thing that would make him do anything in return for her safety. She thought that her relationship was left behind. Yet she never thought she could be so easily fooled into thinking no one would eventually take advantage of Nico's biggest weakness. Nico Savellini has gone through a lot in his life. He never thought that a girl would hurt him more than a bullet. After a year of her absence, he tried to move on and yet no matter how much he tried, He couldn't. But he never thought that the Russian mafia don would be smart enough to use her against him. No matter how much he should've expected it, he hoped he could protect her. His father told him he can never be with her, but can you really tell the heart what to do? And now that she's in danger, He has to get her back. Even if he has to put his life and empire at stake. ~~~~~~~~~ Trigger warnings: includes sexual content, mature language, mature/sensitive themes, scenes with weapons, violence and murder.

Beneath The Shadows

64 parts Complete

Beneath the Shadows features Agent Elena Carter, a tougher than nails (and surprisingly human) secret agent whose past has been scarred by tragedy. Long ago, a billionaire scumbag decimated her family: Vincent Moretti-his crime empire cloaked in secrecy and pervasive rot of moral decay. Elena vowed revenge for her fallen loved ones, forced herself to be a woman who cannot break and wait until that moment she confronts the man that made her life miserable. However, as she delves deeper into Vincent's world, things take an unforeseen turn: she begins to glimpse aspects of him she never expected. Underneath that hard shell is a complex man with a dark past of his own. While their mistrust of each other gets muddled by a dark attraction that sends them spiraling into a tempestuous push and pull between revenge and lust. They must maneuver their way through a landscape where lies, betrayal and lethal power struggles are par for the course-and while Elena's instincts tell her that Vincent is up to something, will she still view him as an enemy, or will he prove worth the risk of trust? A tale of revenge that becomes one of redemption, Beneath the Shadows examines the blurred lines between love and hate-where a moment of weakness may be their destruction... or their deliverance.
