Iris is the daughter of the infamous Pierre De Valois, the head of the French mafia, Le Milieu. After a painful betrayal by what she thought were her friends in the Russian mafia's Bratva, she returns to her roots, now hardened and determined to never trust again. At 19, she arrives at a private university near London, unprepared for the storm brewing as the same boys who once broke her heart are now her unwanted roommates.

Haunted by the trauma of a summer long past, Iris hides behind her walls. With a sharp tongue, a skill for self-defense, and a lethal aim, she tries to stay invisible. But the boys of the Bratva-Lev, Ilya, and Nikolai-are still lurking in the shadows, their guilt over their past actions never far from the surface. Her trust in them is shattered, but the dark desires she tries to bury for each of them refuse to stay hidden.

As she tries to carve out a new life, the dangerous pull of her past begins to resurface, and she finds herself torn between the anger of betrayal and the haunting attraction she can't deny. When her life is thrust into chaos once again, Iris learns that trust is a luxury she can't afford-but in the end, she may have no choice but to rely on the very men who once betrayed her.

Will she heal from her scars, or will her tangled loyalties and dark desires drag her down into the deadly world she thought she left behind?All Rights Reserved

Dangerous alliances by -writtenrosiee-

❝You're the most beautiful and most exquisite thing that was placed on this earth. No masterpiece could ever compare.❞ Zasha says, brushing his thumb against my cheek. Zasha Sokolov has built his life on one rule: never get attached. In the cold, ruthless world he inhabits, emotional distance is his only armor against the pain of a past that refuses to stay buried. This detachment has been his key to survival and the reason for his meteoric rise to power. But when the position he's fought his whole life to attain comes with a condition- a forced marriage-Zasha's carefully constructed world begins to crack. Adora has always been a beacon of light, masking the shadows that linger in her life. But when her abusive family sells her into marriage to pay off her sister's debt to the Bratva, she quickly realizes her so-called new beginning is nothing more than a fresh kind of hell. Trapped in a union that promises nothing but pain, Adora clings to the hope of escape-until she meets the man she's destined to marry. Zasha never anticipated that his bride would be an arsenophile with a smile as disarming as her fascination with death. Adora's blend of innocence and darkness stirs something in him that he's long suppressed, something that could destroy the fortress he's built around his heart. As their lives become entwined, passion and danger ignite, threatening to consume them both.

HER PROMISE (MAFIA GXG) 18+ by Tziporarosen

Caterina gave a small, amused hum, flipping a page of her magazine as though unfazed. "You'd be hotter if you weren't so mean." "And you'd be hotter if you cut the fucking attitude," Celine shot back, her voice dropping as she leaned closer, her eyes narrowing dangerously. "Before I fuck it out of you." When Celine crosses paths with Caterina, the daughter of a powerful mafia boss, she expects a quick and simple plan to settle an old score. What she doesn't anticipate is Caterina's audacious counteroffer: a marriage of convenience that will grant Celine access she can not decline. Their uneasy alliance is fraught with tension-both the fiery, physical kind and the sharp clash of wills that comes from two women with their own dark pasts and hidden agendas. As they step into a world of wealth, deception, and ruthless ambition, their plan teeters on the edge of chaos, with one question looming large: Can they trust each other long enough to survive? Will they pull off the ultimate betrayal-or will their fragile bond bring everything crashing down?

Blood Between Vow's by Aliel0404

Dimitri Ivan Morozov- I vowed to never fall in love, but that vow was broken the second a Black haired, blue eyed, stubborn, 5'3 popped up in my life on a random Saturday night. She was everything feisty yet a woman with a heart big enough for one to melt at her talking to the locals in the bar. She was the British barista I didn't know I would become obsessed with within mere seconds of meeting her. I was definitely not expecting for her to discard her shirt and leave her in her lacy bra, or give me a sexy dance with multiple eyes looking her body up and down, the body that will soon belong to me. But that all changes when I find out the very young Iris fucking Jones is my soon to be wife, and the slap she gave me when I called her cute and short only added to my obsession over her. I'm a dad to a daughter that won't even look at me and in no way will I be a better husband. A man like me was never meant to find love. Iris Talia Jones- I don't necessarily see myself as someone who likes a lot of people, but I definitely didn't see my short self practically melt at the sight of a 6'7 man, not boy, but ALL man with thick muscular thighs, tattoos covering his body, black hair, dark brown eyes that if you look close enough almost look black, that defiantly does not look a day over thirty-two but from his ID It tells me he's nearly fourty. Turns out my secret crush is my soon to be husband. Of fucking course life lets me obsess over a man that could defiantly make me come in mere seconds of trying, but it's not on my terms, and rather what is fitting for our two families, and not just that but he called me short and cute. I am soon to be a new mom to a girl I've never met, and a wife to a husband who owns the bratva. "A story to read". WARNING: This book contains mature content.

Armand Volkova is not a man who believes in fate. At twenty-five, the Russian-French mafia heir is already a name soaked in blood and whispered in fear. Tattooed, cold-eyed, and carved from stone, Armand moves through Manhattan like a wolf in a designer suit-dangerous, untouchable, and completely detached from the glittering world around him. That is, until she crashes into him-literally. Aimará Dunham is everything he's not. A Spanish-Ethiopian Olympic figure skater from London, she's all soft curls, warm brown eyes, and the kind of poise only the world's stage can give. Graceful, brilliant, and entirely unaware of the storm she just collided with. Living alone in Manhattan for college, she only wanted coffee that day... not a collision with the city's most dangerous man. For Armand, it's love at first sight. Obsession, even. A fixation he can't understand-but doesn't want to escape. He wants her. Needs her. Not just in his bed, but in his arms, in his life, in every bloodstained part of it. For Aimará, he's an enigma-hauntingly beautiful, but cold, strange, and far too intense. Their connection is undeniable, but hers is a slow burn... complicated by instincts that scream he's hiding something lethal. As secrets unravel and her perfect world begins to darken, Aimará finds herself pulled deeper into Armand's orbit. But when the truth surfaces-when she discovers who he truly is-will she run? Or will she stay with the devil who treats her like an angel?

"Get on your fucking knees," I whisper. She looks into my eyes, her own gaze searching, though I'm uncertain what for. Whatever she finds makes her sink down to the floor slowly with an unexpected kind of confidence, her gaze unwavering. "Take out my cock, Iris." Her breathing rapidly accelerates as she undoes my suit button in the middle of our bedroom, her tongue darting out to lick her lips as she frees my cock. She looks up at me for a moment, a hint of a smile dancing on her lips. Does she think this is funny? "You warned me that you'd fuck my face if I ever smile at any other man, didn't you?" she asks, before slowly licking my cock from the tip to the base, her eyes never leaving mine. Fuck. "Is that what you want, Nikolai?" ❝𝙉𝙞𝙠𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙞 𝙗𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙬𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙭 𝙄𝙧𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙤𝙧❞ She was engaged to the golden boy. Loved by his family. Protected by her brother. Promised to a future written in gold. But then she met him. Nikolai Blackwood was everything she wasn't supposed to want- her fiancé's older brother, her brother's best friend, the man with a stare sharp enough to ruin. Cold. Possessive. Unforgivable. He was the secret no one spoke about. The warning her fiancé whispered. And the moment he saw her, she became his obsession. Even if it meant betraying blood. Even if it meant burning everything. Because some men don't fall in love. They fall into possession.

"𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚." Olivia groaned and crossed her arms, standing her ground. "Don't tell me what to do. You're not my dad." Amusement filled Santino's gaze as he stood up, abandoning the papers he desperately needed to read and sign. Yet, all that was forgotten as her bewitching lips protruded. "I might not be your dad but," a midnight lock of hair was pinned behind her ear, "I can be your papi." Shuddering, her body drew closer to him, betraying her mind. "You're sick." Taking the nape of her neck, Santino leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear. "Yet you still dream about my touch, don't you, principessa?" ❦ When Santino Adriano discovers that the Bratva has betrayed their neutrality by secretly working with his family's enemies, he's determined to send a brutal message that cannot be ignored. His target? The Bratva kingpin's sister, Olivia Morozov-a sheltered girl who knows little to nothing about the dark underworld her family controls, having been shielded from the darker truths of her family's empire her entire life. Fresh out of boarding school and blissfully oblivious to the power struggle boiling beneath her feet, Olivia is suddenly whisked away from everything she's ever known and thrust into a world where loyalty is weaponised and power is the ultimate prize. As secrets and long-buried lies unravel around her, she realises she's caught in a game where the unrelenting fight for power holds more value than human lives-including her own. Santino is cold, calculating, and relentless - everything Olivia should fear. Yet, she is intrigued by by his deadly nature. The line between fear and attraction is thin, and like a moth to a flame, she seeks him out, unafraid of the burn it may cause. She's never known anyone like him-an older, dangerous man who makes her question everything she thought she knew about desire. Olivia just didn't expect her captor to be so handsome.
