Anaya never meant to fall in love that night.
She doesn't usually do bars-but something about Marcel's called to her. Maybe it was fate. Maybe it was the stress or a need for self. Or maybe it was him-the bartender with a slow smile, curious eyes, and a mysterious charm she couldn't resist.
Marcel wasn't supposed to notice her.
But from the moment Anaya stepped in, wrapped in red and carrying secrets like shadows, he was hooked. One drink turned into a stolen moment in a quiet parking lot. Then came the song-her voice, pure magic-and he knew he'd never forget her.
Anaya, a girl from a quiet town in Lesotho. Marcel, a European bar owner, running from his past. Their connection is instant. Their chemistry, undeniable. But everything between them is built on lies.
And when the truth starts to unravel, the people they've been running from return-with a vengeance.
In a love story marked by deception, secrets, and passion-can love survive the wreckage of the past, or will it be the thing that destroys them both?
He was her escape. She was his obsession. But no one runs forever.

Handling Grief
"Leave me alone, Dianne!" I protested, shaking my cousin's hand off my shoulder. "Mirabel, I'm only trying to help. Think about it na. Your dad is dead and your mother is insane...!" "...my mother is not insane...!" I screamed at her, raising my previously bowed head. Still calm, Dianne smiled at me, "How long will you keep lying to yourself?" "Stop!" I warned - more like pleaded - dramatically turning my gaze from hers. "I'm only trying to help" "Don't" came the response, "Please...leave me" I begged once again. Dianne shrugged in surrender and stood up. She silently walked to the door. I felt her turn to get one more look at me, her distressed and depressed cousin. I just kept staring out the window at nothing in particular, shedding those thin, lonely stream of salt. "Just think about it" she urged me one more time. I frowned. There was no point thinking about it anymore. I had made my decision. ***** Mirabel is everyone's favorite.

The Mafia's Mercy
The darkness in his eyes, the dangerous smell of alcohol in his breath, and his deathly grip keeping me bound to him made my heart pound in my chest and my body quiver beneath him. Shamefully, it wasn't anything that I wasn't used to, because...the things I let him do to me? When he was frustrated, annoyed, and angry at the world, I was here to be his pound of flesh. In return, he masked the void of my loneliness because for months, that was the transaction of our relationship. He'd pin me to the wall, bend me over the counter, pull my hair, slap me, choke me, and I enjoyed every second of it because in that moment, it finally felt good to be powerless. Irony is a funny thing. I enjoyed being in pain because it made me forget how much I was hurting. *** "I warned you, doll." His voice strikes a string of chills down the base of my spine, a reminder that all of the time in the world could pass, and he's still not letting go. This is where the good girl in me dies. "You're mine now," he whispers. *** My name is Mercy-Mercy Carter. I went to college. Got myself a useless Bachelor of Science in Mathematics degree. His name is Marcel-Marcello Saldívar. However, at the time, I didn't know that he, the heir to the Saldívar Mafia empire, was the man that I had blindly offered myself to. As smart as I am, I was stupid all the times when it actually mattered. After all, he did warn me that he was dangerous. I just didn't think he could be much worse than my thug of a brother. I was vulnerable-naive. My name is Mercy, and I belong to him. My name is Mercy, and I am The Mafia's Mercy. ⚠️ Content Advisory: This is a DARK Romance novel, in every sense of the word.

What's home, if not the first place you flee from? What's love, if not that blazing, unexplainable feeling born from the ashes of hate?

Will she prove everyone right once again about how weak she is and let him in? Forgive his transgressions, dare to love the man who turned her world into ashes?
