Eighteen-year-old Isolde has never known safety. Orphaned, broke, and trapped under her aunt's care, she spends her days serving lattes at a posh café-until a mysterious perfume arrives at her doorstep. Its sender? Unknown to her but let me tell you it's Dante Valencourt, a billionaire with mafia ties, a serpent's charm, and a sadistic obsession with owning what he desires.  

When Dante's "gifts" turn sinister-surveillance, threats, and a trail of bodies Isolde flees. 

But running from a man who controls cities is a death wish. Dante drags her into his glittering underworld, where pain and pleasure blur, and obsession wears the mask of love.  

Will Isolde survive his twisted devotion... or surrender to the darkness he promises?

🔥 For fans of Pepper Winters and J.T. Geissinger may love this and it's dark romance at its most addictive. No princes here... just a villain who'll ruin you.  

This anti-hero is very sadistic, possessive, obsessive and controlling freak....so please don't expect anything vanilla and lovey lovey content here.

     Tropes:  
✔️ Morally Black Mafia Antihero  
✔️ Kidnapped/Forced Proximity  
✔️ "Touch Her and Die" Vibes  
✔️ Twisted Possession vs. Fragile Innocence  
✔️ All the dark, spicy, morally black tension  

Warning: This book is not a fairytale. Proceed if you dare.

This book contains abusive content very dark and gore, and I don't support them.

I wanted to hide somewhere and never come back. Lucifer slowly turned me towards him. He lift up my veil and pulled my waist tightly until I was completely pressed against him. Then he whispered "welcome to my world, wife" and kissed me hard on my lips. It was more like a punishment kiss. I tried to push him but he bite my lips hard. Now tears were streaming down my face. After some minutes he released me and wipe my tears and kissed me on my forehead. People were clapping. Celebrating my doom.

An alliance that was doomed before it even began... ❥❥❥❥ They call her princess, but she was never looking for a prince charming. Good thing he's anything but. Completely irresponsible, troublesome, and a liability, there's nothing remotely noble about him. Not that there's anything righteous about what their families' do to begin with... However something about her just seems so right to him. Too bad he can't have her. So, perhaps it's a good thing she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. ....... Tough, resilient, and lethal- Cara runs through danger like it's child's play. And as the daughter of an Irish mob boss, she's been placed on a pedestal high up in the clouds, so she already has almost anything she could ever want. And of what she doesn't have, Leonardo "Leo" Ricci- the youngest and most reckless member of the Ricci famiglia surely couldn't provide it for her. But there's something she didn't account for- Leo's wild inhibitions, free-spirited nature, and unwavering devotion, might end up being just what she needs. It doesn't matter though, because the developing burn between the two of them could threaten everything, especially her plans. Plans that she didn't realize were flimsy to begin with, going up in smoke upon chaos being unleashed. Proving just how cursed her little arrangement really was. But in the midst of the destruction that the inferno leaves behind, can she find the blessing in disguise? ❥❥❥❥ - Dark Romance - Reverse Sunshine x Grumpy - Forbidden - Mafia -He Falls First -Forced Proximity

This is a dark romance love-hate story of a rich handsome king who falls in love with a beautiful young farm girl. This wealthy landlord is cruel and heartless. He gets unhealthily obsessed with her due to her beauty. She gets forced to live with him, marry him, do sexual acts for him and be his queen soon. Will she ever change him to a nice man? Will she ever get away from her miserable life? This is the continuation of a book named 'Forced Love', written by heathluvsyou . She is such a talented author and her story is written with such accuracy you believe at times you traveled back in time. Sadly, her story stopped mid way through and she haven't updated in a while. I hope with my heart that she is okay. So, i'm going to try to recreate her writing style and give a ending to her story. I will be adding more chapters as much as I could. I'm not as good as our initial author but will try my best. I love you heathluvsyou. For my shortcut buddies - It is possible to tag along with part 2 without reading the first book. But, I wouldn't recommend that since I bet you don't want to miss out on one of the best books ever. Search up 'Forced love' written by heathluvsyou. It would be worth your time I promise :) Best ranking - 39 in 'dark' on June 9th 2021. Wrote in 2021. 2022 me- 😬 Not bad. Trying to appreciate my dedication and efforts 🤦‍♀️ 2025 nov- I wrote this when I was a teenager. Idk what I was on. I don't condone this nor should anyone learn from this. Sorry guys :(
