I came to New York to prove something. To my parents. To the world. To myself.
At 25, I have the career. The apartment. The painfully forced smile at every cocktail party where I pretend I'm closer to finding a man who checks every box on the Cambell list. Wealthy. Respected. Elite.
But love? Real, aching, soul-shattering love? That's been harder to find than the perfect pair of Louboutins on sale.
Enter Hilton Romano.
CEO of Romano Banks. Billionaire. Untouchable. Dangerous. And entirely, devastatingly off-limits.
He's everything my parents warned me about: arrogant, ruthless, and born into a life that doesn't need to earn anything. But when he looks at me, it's like the rest of the world doesn't matter. He doesn't want me to impress anyone. Not his board. Not my family. Just him.
And he would burn the whole world down to make me smile.
I should run.
Instead, I'm falling.
And I'm not sure I'll survive the landing.
Because Hilton Romano doesn't love like normal people.
He owns.
And now...
He wants to own me.

Broken But Yours
What happens when your feelings and thoughts don't agree? You feel like there's a battle happening inside you. Your heart tells you what you really want to hear, but your stubborn mind won't quiet down. This is exactly what happened to Chris Collins, the popular guy at his university and the future CEO of his company. He got hurt deeply before, and he'll do anything to avoid getting hurt again. Everyone wants to get close to him, but he's built high walls around his heart. His piercing blue eyes and harsh words hurt people, just like they did to Amber Milburn, a new student at the university, and his potential future... something or everything? *** "How could you do that to me? Why did you make me sign such a contract." I asked, furiously. He looked up from his laptop and smirked looking at me. "As far as I remember, I didn't make you sign the contract, did I? You signed it on your own If I am not wrong. It is entirely your fault if you signed it without reading the documents properly. The first rule in the business is, Never sign any papers without reading them properly." he said looking at me with his evil smirk. "I deny to follow that contract." I said, challenging him. "Your wish, Ms. Milburn. You can walk out of the company any moment you want and meet my lawyers in the court tomorrow," he said, leaning back on his chair. "You're cruel, Chris." I said helplessly. "It's Mr. Collins for you, Ms. Milburn. I hope you have learnt the basic etiquette and know what professionalism means or else your business degree is of no use." he said, sternly. "I hate you!" I said, furiously. "Now if you are done wasting my time then go and bring me my cup of coffee. No sugar. Now out!" he said as he concentrated on his laptop. I walked out of his company, helpless. These three months are going to be the most disturbing and stressful three months of my life. Read to find out more!Concluída

"You burned our house knowing my parents were inside." I shouted while warm tears still running down my cheeks. Yet he just let out a cold chuckle. "Sí, I did." He replied, so calmly as if it's the most normal thing in the world. "But they're still alive, aren't they?" "It doesn't change the fact that you wanted to kill them in front of my eyes." I snapped again. "Yes, and I don't give a single fuck that you hate me for it." He starts walking closer to me and leans down to whisper in my ear. "It doesn't change the fact that you're mine, little artist girl." ******** Life is hard when you're stuck between four walls. No escape. No one to be with you. To comfort you. To tell you everything is going to be alright and you'll feel alive again. But no, I don't think I'll ever be as free as I was and feel alive again. ******** Hanni Killian is a simple girl living a simple life in a small town with her parents, no siblings. She's grown up in a safe and calm place. Her parents treat her as a princess, since she's their only child. Her life was going just as she wanted, but just as she thought life was going to be better. Some things happened that she's never even imagined will happen. Ernesto Rodríguez, a Spanish mafia boss, who's born and grown in blood. He prefer to know nothing about kindness and being nice.. or love. He has a brother, Pedro Rodríguez. And he's no better at all. They lost their parents when they were still young and a woman raised them, who's living with them now. Mariana Vasquéz. After seeing a girl he thought is different from the others, he decided he wants her no matter what. And that's when he made her life a living hell.
THE TASTE OF HIS HEAT
He's cold as ice. She's warm as fire. But fate isn't asking-it's demanding. Vincenzo Li Fonti is a ruthless, untouchable billionaire-the kind of man who doesn't need to raise his voice to silence a room. Feared by his enemies, respected by his allies, and adored only by his young son, Vincenzo rules both boardrooms and backrooms with terrifying precision. Love? It's a weakness he cannot afford. Bianca Romano is a struggling yet stunning lady of no recollections of her roots and grows up in an orphanage, working job to job with her fierce best friend, Natalie, just to survive. Eight years ago, her life shattered when her newborn son was stolen from her. Now, a single night of passion with a stranger pulls Bianca back into a world she thought she'd never touch. That stranger? None other than Vincenzo himself. When Vincenzo discovers Bianca is carrying his child, he gives her no choice: Marry me or I take the baby. Out of fear-and haunted by the child she lost-Bianca agrees, thrown into a cold, opulent world where danger whispers in every shadow and love is the last thing anyone believes in. But beneath Vincenzo's icy surface lies a man deeply loyal to those he loves. And Bianca's fire? It might just be the only thing that can melt him. As secrets unravel-including the shocking truth about Bianca's stolen child and she uncovers her origin-Bianca must navigate betrayal, obsession, and vengeance. And when enemies strike to destroy everything she's built, Vincenzo's dark, deadly world will rise to protect her... or consume them both. In a story where nothing is as it seems, and everyone has something to hide, one thing is certain: Love was never the plan-but fate doesn't care about plans.Concluída

The Scent and The Sapphire [old version]
Prince Riccardo De L'Aquila. My driven, commanding, and insatiable husband. I'm ferociously addicted to him - being pleasured by him until I am sore and my breath is battered, to see him crave me with a need as fervor and blindingly fierce as mine. He is the most beautiful alpha-male I've ever known. Yet he is also the man who remains tormented at the core by the darkest shadows of his past and mine. Our excruciating past, harrowing sufferance, and constant need for love and permanency is what unites us and makes us entangled in a way nothing else can. I have surrendered myself to him - to let the scorching heat consume me. We are the two tortured souls who have allowed each other to know the deepest, darkest secrets we have been holding in our hearts for years. He is my match in every sense. Our life together is truly just the beginning. Now there is no going back or hiding secrets or avoiding sharing them by ending up tangled in sheets or wherever we can make rough, raw love that can make me forget my purpose of arguing with him or questioning him. Despite my complete submission to him, Rico has shown me that I can be loved intensely. And in turn, I have shown Rico that he is my entire universe, totally worthy of my love and that I belong to him in every sense. Our past has always been an unrelenting demon that has stemmed insecurities and nightmares in both of us, but together, there has been nothing that has kept us from healing from the torment of our past. At least till now. But it's never enough. His fierce need to protect me won't let him make me a part of his fight and I fear his hesitance might push me beyond the brink of devastation. No one has the power to break us, but us. Welcome to the final installment of The Scent Trilogy which is rife with intimacy and emotion - the pinnacle of explosive disagreements, of times where trust was proved and broken, of vows that will be put to the test.Concluída

Deflowered
*****Curve Appreciation***** TRIGGER WARNINGS: mentions of emotional abuse, physical abuse, and toxicity. "You have no idea what you're doing to me, Dahlia... and I intend to show you, inch by delicious inch." His hand was still gripping my waist, his fingers digging into the softness of my side the part of me I usually tried to hide. The part I thought men ignored. But he held it like it turned him on. Like my body curvy, plush was made for his hands. He pulled me in, brushing his belt buckle, my thighs pressed against his like they belonged there. I couldn't breathe. I didn't want to breathe. My mind screamed "this is dangerous" because it was. He was danger dressed in a thousand dollar suit. He was power and violence wrapped in silk words and sharp eyes. And still, my body didn't care. It lit up under his touch. ⚠️IMPORTANT NOTICE: If you are reading/saw this story anywhere else, please report it and let me know. The book can only be found on Wattpad.

ALESSANDRO
"Now since we are done with the introductions I have a question. Are you sure about this marriage?" I nodded "I am." He scoffed and leaned against the wall behind with hands in his pants pockets "Why? Because I have money?" What? "Are you impressed by this mansion?" I can be scared of Dad but he is no one to address me as a gold digger and say bullshit. "I don't care if you take me as a gold digger. You are no one who I am bound to explain anything to." I turned back to leave but he held my hand pulling me with a sudden force making our chest crashed against each other. He held my waist pulling me closer, suddenly again that feeling of nervousness filled me. "I am correcting you at this point, you are bound to tell me each and everything about yourself... you know why, because baby I will be your future.

Bare for you (French Mafia Romance)
Cash I fucked up. Or rather, I'm fucked up. How did I, a high ranking member of the French mafia, allow myself to be distracted by this... stripper? I was supposed to use her for information, that's it. It should have been easy. I pay her money and she tells me about the Russians. Simple. Except, I fucked it up. I let the one advantage we had over them go because I fucking claimed her. What's even worse is that she hates pretending to be my woman and fights me with every single thing. Yeah, it's a fucked up situation but now that I've met her and she's mine, I wouldn't change a goddamn thing. Lux I fucked up. I knew the risk of the Russian men finding out about me but I went along with it anyway. Hell, I almost had to. If you were offered $10,000 to ask a man a few question, would you turn it down? You're a goddamn liar if you say no. Or maybe you're smart as hell because now I'm stuck with a mafia man that refuses to leave me alone. I'm now in between a war I never knew existed. If I had the chance to go back and never meet Cash, would I do it? You damn right I would. Who am I kidding? Now I'm the goddamn liar.Concluída
