I never thought love could be for me until she barged into my life. Alexandra Russo. She single handedly rearranged my definition of obsession, lust and at some point, love. I would die for her, I've killed for her and I would do it again anyday. Unfortunately the family name she carries is a burden and a barrier. Then again, there's nothing I would ever allow to stand between my princess and I.
*******
My life was planned out for me since I was delivered to my father's arms twenty five years ago. But things don't always go as planned, and my cheating ex boyfriend allowed me to cross paths with the man who would turn my world upside down. Christian Sokolov. The man who proved chivalry isn't dead and someone like me deserves love. There are so many obstacles standing between us, but I doubt that will stop him. Nothing ever has.
Will Christian open up about his past? Will Xandra regain her ability to trust?
DEDICATED TO Those ready to get the prize of their suffering.

The Caretaker He Bought
"You're not here to fall in love." "Trust me, sir... I don't even know what that means." She was sold like a possession-traded away by the very people who were supposed to protect her. At just seventeen, she finds herself in a cold, unfamiliar mansion owned by a powerful man known for his silence, strict rules, and a heartbreak he never talks about. His only condition? Take care of his one-year-old daughter. Don't speak unless spoken to. Don't enter his study. Never touch him. For her, following orders is nothing new. Obedience has kept her alive this long. But the baby's soft cries break something inside her, and her tender touch begins to warm a house that forgot what love felt like. He tells himself she's just a caretaker. Just a temporary solution. But night after night, she shatters rule after rule... And soon, his heart becomes the final one to break. 🎯 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞 Genre: Romance / Drama / Slow Burn / Hurt-Comfort Age rating: 16+ (emotional abuse themes, mature emotional content)
Caged In His Arms
He pinned me against the wall, his hand on my throat and his lips on my neck. 'Run,' he said. 'I'll just drag you back.' I should hate him. I'm terrified of him. So why does my body betray me every time he whispers my name? He warned me once: "This city protects me, not you." Now I believe him. When I went to the police to escape Aleksandr Markov's relentless obsession, my sister was framed and locked up. When I tried to run, he bought my workplace and became my boss. When I begged him to let me go, he whispered in my ear with his lips pressed to my neck: "You're mine, My little dove. Struggle all you want-I'll keep you until you stop fighting... or until you break." But the scariest part? The longer I'm trapped in his cage, the less I want to leave. A billionaire villain. A powerless heroine. A game of power, obsession, and desire where losing means surrendering everything-including your heart.
The Forbidden Mafia Princess (Angels of the Underworld: Book Three) (✔️)
**Cover by @AndiApplexoxo** He was nothing like other men that she'd met in her life. He was different. She knew he was. But he was forbidden. She was beautiful. He saw her and it was all over. Love at first sight. No other woman made him feel the way she did. But she was forbidden. A rivalry that runs ages deep keeps them apart..... Or does it? She wants him and he wants her.

You know his name. Il Diavolo. Vincenzo Bianchi. Her father. Both men are Kings. Both are ruthless and unforgiving. But one will have to bow down if there is peace. One will have to bow down if there is to be a Happily Ever After...... The question is.... Which one will break first? Which one will be the first to bow? Will either get the chance to bow or will someone or something get in the way? Only one way to find out...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~ This story contains mature content. Read at your own risk.

The Traitor's Wife
My grief is a lie. His guilt a weapon. And remembering will destroy whoever I used to love. Maybe this was it. Maybe she had already crossed the line between the living and the lost. The thought of reuniting with Alexei, of seeing him again, wherever he was, felt less terrifying than stepping through that door to meet his killer. Death, at least, would have been merciful. Forget everything you think you know about mafia romance. This isn't a story about an innocent girl stumbling into a dangerous world. Claire lived in that world, she just can't remember how... or what it cost her. A love story where the deepest betrayal may be the one you inflict on yourself. Fair warning: this book will break you, reshape you, and leave you desperate for answers you're too afraid to face. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.

His finger trailed up my thigh ever so gently causing my pussy complete torture. He knew what he was doing. He knew this was driving me completely crazy. Just as his fingers were trying to push past my underwear my hand grabbed onto his wrist. "Don't," I warned, in a low voice making sure nobody would notice. "Watch me fuck you in front of every single person here unless Tobias stops looking at you like that." He explained. I glanced over to Tobias who was looking angrier than ever. If Tobias didn't stop looking at me not only would my husband keep to his word, someone would send a bullet through his skull. *+*+* Scarlett Salvadore was to be married to a man she hated with all her heart to increase her father's power.
