The Reaper's Bride by N_E_Bloom
36 parts Complete Mature
🖤 Dangerous lies. Violent devotion. Twisted romance that cuts as deep as a blade. This is not a love story. It's a war story in disguise. A dark mafia arranged marriage romance She was the bride they thought was harmless. They didn't know they married death in silk. ⸻ In the glittering underworld of French and Italian Mafia dynasties, Celeste Moreau is the crown jewel - a delicate, soft-spoken daughter of France's most powerful crime family. Or so they believe. Behind the doe eyes and designer dresses hides a whispered legend: La Dame Noire, the faceless assassin whose name makes grown men pray. She's one half of the infamous Reaper Twins, a myth born in blood and silence. But no one suspects her - not her new enemies, not her new family... and certainly not her husband. Alessandro De Luca, heir to Italy's most feared empire, agrees to a marriage of convenience to save his crumbling legacy. He expects a docile, ornamental wife. What he gets is a riddle he can't solve, a shadow he can't pin down, and a woman who might just be his undoing. As enemies close in, bodies begin to fall - and each death leaves behind a calling card, signed with a name that should not exist. When secrets unravel and masks crack, trust turns to obsession, and obsession turns to something far more dangerous. Because you can't love a ghost. And you can't own a reaper. Not unless she lets you. ⸻

Duncan by veritynichols
20 parts Complete Mature
▶ Kiana: For the past handful of years, hiding behind anonymous words suited me just fine. I could twist them, expressing myself, and know that people found something of themselves when they were sung. But anonymity is no longer possible. As much as I want to, I can't keep my head buried in the sand and ignore everything around me. Ignore the past and its importance. I'm stepping out of the shadows, in part because I don't have a choice. The other part, though... Because I want to take the plunge and see what's on the other side. Most of all, find my heart again and get things right this time around. However, it's soon apparent that not everyone is in agreement with this new development. I guess I'll see just how many potholes I'll find during this journey. ▶ Duncan: Most people think I have everything I want. Most people also don't know the first thing about me, just what's out there, what I allow them to know. They don't know that fame and money means nothing without the family I've made. The family that's been incomplete for years. However... It doesn't mean I'm a happy camper when that changes, when the missing piece appears out of nowhere. First, because it forces me to face all the feelings, good and bad, that I've tried to push down. Second, because she's not quite the same... But that's okay. And third, because someone thinks they can mess with her, with us. In the end of the day, there's one thing that's as sure as the sun rising every morning: nothing and no one is stepping between me and Kiana this time. Not on my watch. 🏆300 × Adult × 11/17/20 🏆67 × Romantic Suspense × 11/30/2020 Book one in the Toxic Climax series. Dual POV, second-chance love story. 5k-word chapters on Fridays. Please note: Toxic Climax is just the name of the band. Warning: strong language (a lot), sex (some) and violence (uh... some as well). It is mature and, as such, if this bothers you and/or you're under 18, please don't read it.
BILLIONAIRE'S WIFE by authorelisa
45 parts Complete
Their marriage dynamic is...strange. Married to the most dangerous man in the country yet he barely speaks to her, other than small words. He look after her needs and took care of her despite being man of few words. I started this because I wanted to capture those fleeting, awkward, and unforgettable moments and imagination we all have-the ones we overthink, replay in our heads, and sometimes wish we could go back to. Maybe you'll relate to it, maybe not, but either way, I'm grateful you're here, reading this. Thanks for giving my words a chance. It means more than you know.
