"If you go out dancin' wit' the devil, you gon' wind up bringin' him home.."

Disorienting cover is for good reason.
Character concepts, design, and description by me. Art is not mine. UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE. (Like Sketchbook Chapters)
----
There are twelve at the table, but none of them trust each other.
They were raised to obey. Trained to break things beautifully.
Now the blood runs thicker, darker - and the old rules don't hold.
There's a shipment coming in. One that could bury them all.
Or crown a new heir.

Azure
"It's just a needle, relax." Forest states calmly as he readies the needle and vial. "Easy for you to say you're not the one being stabbed with a pointy death tube." I thrashed, bucking and trying to free myself from Asher's arms. "Easy! You're going to hurt yourself Gray come help me hold her she won't quit moving!" Asher yells. "Let. Me. Go!" I thrashed harder and landed a good elbow to his ribs. He let go of me momentarily to clutch his stomach and I take this time to run. Freedom on the line, and Satan on my heels, I run like a girl. *** Azure Wilson has been on her own for quite a while. Turning to the streets to protect herself, she joins a gang at 12 and stays under the protection of Declan Henson, the gang leader and her 'personal' protector. Now 15, Azure finds herself as a more involved member of the gang, and gets to be the drug mule to a buy that goes south real quick. Leonardo Vincetti is the Don of the Italian Mafia. He's fed up with the gangs that have been poaching his goods and dealing with his clients under the table. Promising cheaper prices and more product, Devin and the Skulls have become a problem that needs to be eliminated. Setting up a fake deal expecting Declan or one of the men from his inner circle to arrive, he is in for quite the surprise when he's met with a scared teenage girl who looks an awful lot like him. Azure "escapes" and unknowingly leads the Italians right to Declan's hideout. Azure finds herself a prisoner being treated with far more care than the rest of her fellow gang members. Six boys and a Mafia legacy, Leonardo must figure out who this child is and why she has his eyes. Before someone else figures it out first. A past she doesn't remember, and an unsteady future, Azure must think fast, and act faster if she wants to take control of her life.
Reina de la Muerte
Suited for an audience 18 and older. Read at your own discretion. *** "Don't think for a second I don't hate you any less because we're married," I hiss out. Seeing Gabriel's growing smirk only pisses me off more. "If I knew what I was signing up for when I agreed to this then I would have ripped that stupid contract up the first chance I got." My sentence trails off when Gabriel takes another step towards me, then another until he's towering over me. I can feel how huge my eyes become when he slams my back to the bathroom door, wrapping his hand around my throat and pressing it to the wood. A gasp escapes me when Gabriel squeezes it, squeezing until I'm panting for every breath. I can already feel my body betraying me, though. My words may be telling him how much I despise him, but my body knows what the truth is and it shows from the growing arousal between my legs. "Don't be so crude, princesa," Gabriel mutters, forcing my head back to stare into his blazing brown eyes. "Let's not forget that we're a happily married couple. So I suggest you walk into that meeting with a smile on your face... Unless you'd rather have them all listen to me fuck the attitude out of you instead." ***Complete

He was a man of power, feared and worshipped in the same breath, ruling over the world of shadows where morality was a myth and sin was the only language spoken. Love? That was for the weak. He didn't do love. He didn't believe in innocence. Until her. She was untouched by the darkness he thrived in-a vision of purity, a forbidden fruit he had no right to crave. But the devil had never been one to deny himself temptation. And she... she was his greatest one. She should have run. He told her to. Instead, she stayed, unaware that the moment she stepped into his world, she became his. His to ruin. His to cherish. His purest sin. And now, even if heaven came calling-he'd rather burn than let her go.

Twisted Desire I 18+ I ☑️ Completed
Disclaimer This isn't your standard dark romance. No forced marriage. No Italian or Russian sounding names. No instant love. No twenty-something virgin waiting to be "corrupted." And it contains an actual story line, that makes it interesting to read, with plot twists and turns. I can't stand "dark" male characters who are just shallow and arrogant with a leather jacket, so mine isn't. When he gets dark, it's genuinely unsettling, not sexy cosplay. A real redemption arc actually requires something worth redeeming, and this story doesn't shy away from that. I want you torn between wanting to kiss him or wanting to call the authorities. Dan is complicated, not because he recites cringy lines about his "darkness," but because he's built from more than clichés. If you roll your eyes every time a brooding man whispers "Can you handle all my demons?" and if you are looking for a storyline that it's more than girls meet boy - kidnap - love then welcome. You're in the right place. Now on the book: Dan is a ruthless mafia boss. Lilly is a kind strong girl who found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. After she witnessed too much he decides to kidnap her. What begins as a game of power and punishment quickly spirals into obsession, blurring the line between desire and control. As secrets, betrayals, and other forces close in, captor and captive must confront a chilling question: is it love or just some kind of twisted desire?

Mimi's Demons
An eleven-year-old Mimi can see demons. She finds one feeding on a mafia boss, unconscious and bleeding out against her favorite breakfast dumpster. When she saves his life, he rewards her by forcibly taking her from the streets to adopt her. But Mimi doesn't want a dad. She just wants to go back to her parking garage, away from people and the demons that feed on them, which her new 'home' just happens to be full of. She's also not stupid enough to believe a guy who is practically a demon himself could make good parenting material, especially for an unwanted freak like her. And whatever happened to her childhood friend, the monster under her bed? Rated M for violence, some language, mentions of torture, killing people, uh, mature subjects...am I missing anything? The point is, it's not M for porn or inappropriate relationships. Just dark stuff.Complete
Bow Down And Beg For Mercy
(Probably gonna edit this-just grammar and plot holes) In a world like mine, family are supposed to be the only people you can trust, the only ones who would always have your back. My family is included in that. My father trained us to be killers since we could pick up a knife. I am the youngest of six children in my family and let me say it is not cute or easy. I have been accused, lied to, blackmailed and more. We use each other for our own benefits, like soldiers but still, we're family. This is the story of how my family allied with another organisation to get rid of a mutual problem. Who will be trusted and who will be destroyed? While my enemies are playing checkers, I'm playing chess, with a perfect checkmate already in sight. Maybe I can play a few other games along the way. "What? Not so confident anymore, are you?" I press my body against him when his back hits the wall. "S-step back," he mumbles, attempting to command me. "And if I don't?" I twirl his hair between my fingers. He pushes me back. "D-don't do that," he breathes heavily. "Don't do what, pet?" I tilt my head. "Don't try to control me," his eyes don't meet my gaze. "My sweet Bunny, I'm not trying to control you..." I stalk towards him like a predator stalking its prey, a wolf catching its meal. When I get close enough, I put my lips to his ear, wrapping my left hand around his neck. "I do control you." I push him to his knees. "That is where you belong, on your fucking knees." ❗️WARNING❗️ If you're going to this for smut, you will be very disappointed. I value tension and building actual romance, not just explicit physical intimacy. All pictures are from Pinterest!! I hope you enjoy! Pls comment I love reading them!!Complete
