Until The End, Doctor
He was the king. She was the one girl he was never supposed to touch. Luca Morteli built his empire with blood, bullets, and bone-deep silence. CEO by day, Mafia king by night, he rules with precision never letting emotions get in the way. But everything unravels the moment she walks into his office. Anna DeLuca. Too innocent. Too bright. And entirely off-limits. She's the daughter of his family's most loyal doctor. The baby sister of his right-hand man. A walking complication with green eyes that see too much. She doesn't belong in his world. But that won't stop him from claiming her. Even if it means breaking every rule. Even if it means dragging her into his darkness. Because once he touches her, he'll never let her go. And once she uncovers the man beneath the monster... There's no turning back. Cold hearts don't stay untouched forever. Especially not when fate wants to watch them burn.Complete
Beneath His Name
He married her to save his name. But what if she becomes the one to destroy it? Julian Anderson-CEO by day, mafia heir by blood-never believed in love after his ex betrayed him with his worst enemy. So when his arranged bride runs off hours before the wedding, he does what any Anderson would do: picks another bride. Avery Clarke never asked to be chosen. She was the overlooked daughter, the backup plan. Until one ruthless vow tied her to a man who promised nothing but cold stares and a ring that burned like a warning. Now, they're married. Bound by names, secrets, and growing tension neither of them can ignore. But as Avery starts uncovering the truth behind Julian's walls-and the darkness of his world-she realizes something terrifying: She might be falling for the man who could ruin her. And he? He might finally care about someone again... enough to break his own rules. Power. Obsession. Slow-burn attraction. This is not a love story. This is a war with hearts on the line.Complete
Bruised Hearts, Gentle Hands
She was sold to the highest bidder-a man cloaked in silence and rumors, the kind of man girls like Lina Serrano are warned about. Adrian Moretti didn't buy her to break her. He bought her because she looked at the world like it hadn't already taken everything from her. Lina was supposed to be quiet, obedient, afraid. Instead, she sketches monsters with kind eyes, wanders his halls like she belongs, and asks him questions he hasn't let himself answer in years. He doesn't touch her. He doesn't raise his voice. But every word he speaks chips away at the walls she built to survive. She was meant to be a transaction. Instead, she becomes his undoing. In a world of blood, power, and unspoken pain, what begins with bruised hearts may just end in gentle hands-and a love worth burning everything down for. Trigger warnings: Past trauma, emotional recovery, references to violence (non-graphic), slow burn, safe but dangerous man.Complete
Nightmoth

He's the most dangerous thing she's ever known, and the rational part of her wants to stay away. He's brutal. He's scary. And he's someone she definitely should not be messing with. Yet, with every touch, every clench of his jaw and tensing of his muscles, she can't resist the urge to torment him. What she doesn't know: It goes both ways. She's bright. She's brilliant. And she's someone he can't help but be drawn to. Lucky for him, it doesn't look like she wants to stay away. And lucky for her, torment is in his job description. [Warning: Gore, violence and sexual themes] Author's note: This is a slowburn romance, and will probably have you pulling at your hair at times. If you don't like slowburn, I would suggest skipping this one. [CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR MELTING ZANE]Complete![Beautiful Venom[HOLD]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/392965297-256-k848402.jpg)
