THEY SAY KINGS NEVER DIE.
MY NAME IS CLARA KING, AND THIS IS THE STORY OF HOW I DIE.
Socialite and psychology major Clara King looked forward to spending her twenty-first birthday at home in Florida. However, that all changes when her overbearing father drags her on a family vacation to Mexico, where Clara collides with their hot chauffeur, Enzo Ramirez.
Enzo grew up on the rough streets of Tampico Bay; Clara grew up near Billionaires Row.
Opposites attract, but not for this pair.
Clara would learn that there was a thin line between love and hate and that the burning resentment she felt for Driver Boy would soon burn into something much hotter as the small town they inhabit would force them into close proximity.
On the surface, Tampico Bay was the perfect setting for a summer romance, but beneath that shimmer and sparkle ran cracks in the streets filled with blood and secrets that were best left buried.
The only problem?
Clara couldn't help digging up truths, but the deeper she dug, the deeper her grave would be.

My Hot And Sexy But Also Slightly Disturbing Story With The Mafia Man
"Okay, so I'm the type of girl that's spent most of her adolescent, hormonal years reading steamy stories on some reading app. My favourite type of books? Hot Italian Mafia books. Don't ask me why, but there's something about a spaghetti speaking drug lord that's always been so hot to me. I grew up in Canada, a country that doesn't have that much linguini speakers. My goal: When I'm eighteen, I'm moving to America, finding myself a hot mafia guy in New York and making him kidnapp me, and that's exactly what I did." Malia is a crazy, smart ass, optimistic nineteen year old. She finally moves to America to pursue her medical student dreams. She has a decent job, but it's not enough to pay for her student loans and rent, so she does what any other human being would do- borrows money from one of the biggest mafia families in New York. When she's unable to pay off her debt, she finds herself in a situation that fourteen year old Malia would've killed to be in: she's on the Italian Mafia's radar. The D'Angelo family is dangerous, filthy rich and of course, Italian. Luca D'Angelo is a smug, cocky, arrogant, sexy mob boss- so basically Malia's dream guy. When she gets kidnapped by Luca in order to pay back her debt, it's a sick, twisted, steamy dream come true for Malia Nelson. It's every clichè, comical, cringy situation that's ever happened in any mafia book, all crammed into this pile of shit. How bad can it be?

Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her. My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again." I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in." "And? You think they want to watch? Shit, I would." _____________________________________ ~Maya Castillo~ Escaping her traumatic past, Maya and her brother, Santiago, run to New York.

Ruin Me Softly
"You think walking away means freedom?" His voice was quiet, a velvet snare. "In this city, freedom is an illusion." Elena's throat tightened, but she steadied herself. "And yet here you stand, playing king of illusions." The faintest spark of amusement lit his eyes. "Bold. But you misunderstand." He leaned in slightly, his breath brushing her cheek. "I don't play king. I play predator." Her pulse hammered. She wanted to laugh in his face, to spit out some sharp retort-but her body betrayed her. Every nerve screamed danger, yet beneath it, treacherously, was a pull. A heat she despised. She stepped sideways, forcing space between them. "Predators eventually starve when prey stops running." Dante followed with a single, measured step, reducing the gap again. "Ah, but you're not running, are you? You're standing. You're challenging. And that..." His eyes darkened, lingering on her face as though studying each flicker of resistance. "...that is what makes you dangerous. That is what makes you tempting."

Two dead parents, an estranged sister and an abusive, controlling boyfriend who's keeping one hell of a secret from her. At 21 years old she unknowingly finds herself thrown into the darkest life of them all - The Mob. Carson Agnello. The guy you would say, on the surface, has all the luck going for him.

They're on opposite sides of the battle, he knows of her but she has no clue who he is, until one event intertwines their two lives together. They suddenly rely just on each other, they need each other. They're all each other has. ✨ "I felt sorry for you, when I saw you. I wanted to help you because you were being attacked by these men. But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat. "Maybe I am just bad as them...or maybe I'm worse baby girl." ⚠️ Warning - this book contains explicit mentions and descriptions of abuse, rape, mental health issues and suicide.
