In the heart of Italy's most elite circles, Seraphina Vale is perfection personified - the flawless daughter of a powerful businessman, beautiful, brilliant, untouchable. But behind her captivating smile and red velvet lips lies something darker: a mind sharpened like a knife, a soul stitched in secrets.
Lucien Moretti is the cold, magnetic CEO with a history steeped in blood and ash - the once heir to a notorious mafia empire, now cloaked in suits, silk, and ruthlessness. Everyone fears him. Everyone, except her.
They meet behind masks, drawn to the beautiful lies they wear in public. But when those masks slip - revealing the monsters beneath - they don't run. They fall.
Into obsession.
Into madness.
Into a love written in lipstick and blood.
As their enemies close in, and old rivals rise - including Seraphina's best friend turned jealous traitor - the only question left is:
How far will a psychopath go for love?
And how deep can velvet sink before it turns into crimson?

HIS TESORO✅ [The Sinister Series]
"No-please-don't do this!" Seraphina sobbed, her voice cracking as she clung to her eldest brother's wrist. "I-I'll be good. I'll do whatever you say, just don't-" A sharp crack echoed through the room as his palm struck her cheek, sending her crashing to the marble floor. Pain exploded across her skin, but it was nothing compared to the terror clawing at her chest. From above, his voice was cold. Unmoved. "You will marry him." She shook her head wildly, crawling backward until her spine hit the wall. "He's a monster," she whispered, her breath shuddering. "He's not human. Please, don't make me do this. I'll die." Her second brother crouched in front of her, grabbing her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. His lips curled, eyes void of warmth. "Then die." Her breath hitched. "But you will die as his wife." The door behind them creaked open. Heavy footsteps. Her father stepped inside, his expression unreadable. "Lock her in this room," he ordered. "She will not step out until her wedding day." Sera thrashed as hands seized her, dragging her toward the massive iron doors. "No! Please-Father, please!" But he didn't even look at her. The last thing she saw before the door slammed shut was her brothers standing side by side, indifferent as she was thrown into a fate worse than death. Then darkness. And the only thing left was the suffocating truth. She was a sacrifice. A bride to the Sinister, a devil himself. #A STANDALONE BOOKComplete

The Obsessive Hearts | 18+
She wasn't supposed to want him but in her world, resistance turned out to be a luxury seemingly difficult to afford, even for her. Ritika Sharma doesn't do obsession. She does control, precision, the kind of ambition that leaves no room for anything soft. He was supposed to be just a name in a newspaper. A face on a screen. A passing fascination she could put aside and forget. She couldn't. What begins as watching becomes wanting. What becomes wanting becomes something darker - a pull with no clean name, no logical end, no off switch she can find no matter how hard she looks. And Mahir Singhania, with his quiet eyes and quieter secrets, doesn't seem to mind at all. But when secrets slip, boundaries blur and love and ruin start to look identical - wanting him may be the most reckless thing Ritika has ever done. Because some hearts are too fierce to be held. They need claim. They need worship. Some love heals. Some destroys. Theirs does both. They found each other. Now they have to survive each other.

"If you touch me again," I hissed, my voice razor-sharp, "I'll report you. And I'll make sure you regret it. Now, why don't you go cry to your wife and kids, old man?" I turned to leave, but his hand shot out, gripping my arm and spinning me back around. Before I could react, he pressed me against the wall, his hands braced on either side of my head, trapping me in his iron grip. "Say that again," he growled, his voice low and smooth, yet dangerous enough to send shivers down my spine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ARABELLA VERSACE - Bold, sharp-tongued and unapologetically independent.
