Title: Blood-Red Roses
Genre: Dark Romance, Mafia
Description:
Emilia has grown accustomed to a simple life. As a florist in a small Italian town, she stays out of trouble-until she meets him. Alejandro De Luca, one of Italy's most powerful mafia bosses, steps into her shop to buy flowers for his parents' grave. A brief glance, an accidental touch, a name on his lips-and suddenly, Emilia is caught in his web.
Alejandro is cold, calculating, and dangerous. A man who takes what he wants. And he wants her.
What starts as a chance encounter soon turns into a deadly game of power, desire, and darkness. Emilia knows she should stay away from him, yet there's something about Alejandro she can't resist. Something in the way his eyes claim her, the way his touch ignites both fear and burning longing inside her.
But can she trust a man whose hands are stained with blood?
Or will she be the next to belong to him-completely or not at all?

𝓑𝓸𝓾𝓷𝓭 𝓑𝔂 𝓗𝓲𝓼 𝓢𝓱𝓪𝓭𝓸𝔀𝓼 ( The Vincolo Series - Season 1)
CURRENTLY UNDER EDITING!! ________________________ I never believed in MONSTERS until I met him. Men like him don't walk in the light, they are not mentioned by name, their DEEDS are not chronicled, but their HANDIWORK is all around. It began with that one night, at the time, I thought nothing of it. I didn't know that was the night everything would change. The first time I entered his DOMAIN, it was an accident, I had no idea what I was stepping into. But the second time, however, was intentional. I returned for a job-nothing personal, just BUSSINESS. Something I could easily leave behind when it was over. How naive I was! His world is not one you can walk into and out of unscathed. It is built on unspoken agreements, lies that run too deep, and truths too dangerous for most to handle. And every moment spent here pulls me deeper into his orbit. I thought I could keep my distance, instead, I found myself getting closer to him, much closer than I'd ever planned or wanted to be but close enough to almost forget what he really is and that's the problem because deep down inside me still lies this knowledge of how it ends. If he knew why exactly I am here? He would not hesitate for a second before putting a bullet through my head! Walk away now while you can! I Can't! Somewhere along this twisted path of fate and fate's cruel jokes about control and power over others' lives, the ILLUSION began creeping into my mind. That somehow I had CONTROL over everything. That somehow I was PLAYING the game! But no! Never once I ever was the PLAYER but only just a PAWN in this game called BLOOD AND THRONE!! ____________________ ⚠️ WARNING This book contains mature themes and strong language.
Beneath His Control
He used to bully her. Now he owns her. When Alessia Romano walked into her new job at De Luca Enterprises, the last face she expected to see was his-Giovanni De Luca, the rich, sadistic bastard who tormented her in college... and the man who now controls her career, her body, and her every breath. Worse? He's not just a billionaire CEO. He's the boss of the Italian Mafia-and he's been waiting for her. Giovanni doesn't just want Alessia under his command-he wants her on her knees, begging, branded, and broken in all the ways only he can deliver. And when she resists, he doesn't fire her. He cages her. The tension is unbearable. The sex? Rough, possessive, and addictive. He spanks. He binds. He whispers filth in Italian while she moans into silk sheets. And despite her defiance, her hate, her fear-her body keeps surrendering. But Alessia is no longer the scared girl from college. She's smarter. Angrier. And dangerously close to falling in love with the devil who's tying her wrists and stealing her soul. In a world of secrets, bullets, and obsession, love isn't safe. It's a weapon.
