Burning Blood-set in the 90s, a time of rich cultural influence and the legitimization of many families with ties to criminal empires. Among them, the Vanzettis, a dynasty cloaked in deception, thriving in the elite world while carrying a bloody, tainted past.
At the center stand Romano and Marcello Vanzetti, two men bound by blood yet divided by fate. Romano, the heir shaped by power, walks the line between legacy and self-determination, facing expectations set by his father, Stefano Vanzetti, a man whose name holds as much fear as respect. Marcello, the son of a traitor, fights for his place, searching for truth and purpose in a world that was never meant to be his. Their story is one of family torn apart by love, betrayal, and ambition, where childhood bonds splinter, secrets refuse to stay buried, and passion leads both men down paths that could either define them-or destroy them. Spin off from Of Mobsters and Men by TehPeacemaker, this novel expands on the Vanzetti legacy, revealing the next generation's struggle to escape-or embrace-the sins of their fathers.

College? No, this was paradise. Three years filled with partying, not so secret underground drug-deals, and hot-headed men sliding into beds like snakes with no self-control. Things were different now. I wasn't that perfect, frill-wearing angel Mama thought would walk into the house ring-beared. So many things had changed, except for one. Him. He was a disease, one I couldn't get rid of no matter how hard I tried. Everytime he's near, I feel myself turn into something I've never seen before. Like there's something under my skin only he is capable of bringing out. He's manipulative, twisted, and completely wrong in every way. I hate him. Yet every night, from miles away, I find him in my dreams. Mikhail Volkov Fuck the patriarchy. Better yet, fuck everything and everyone. It was a game of cat and mouse, me chasing victories every single day. The Bratva's constant want for war was what kept the fuel in my blood, burning up into flames whenever my knuckles made contact with another opponent. In the end, I'm always the one left standing. This fire in my bones, I feel it burst into flames while every dark memory, thought and desire runs into my fists. So many medals, but only the people around me could see them. The real battle was against my head. And maybe, just maybe, I was afraid to admit that I had no chance in winning it. She makes it harder. An angel with wings to everyone else, yet a master at unveiling those devil's horns only when I'm near. There's this darkness, this fire, in the both of us. The only difference is, she's better at hiding it. She was gone, far away, yet there was this tether dowsed in fuel connecting us, one that only lit up when she came back. Every time she's near, I feel the limits surrounding my wrath being tested. Then again, rules are only made to be broken, right? Mafia Dark Romance *Standalone*

After their death, she was sent to live with her wealthy grandparents. Now, ready for a fresh start at college with her best friend, she never expected to meet Hunter-or the fire he would ignite within her. 𝐇𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐞 has been shaped by pain, growing up with an abusive, alcoholic father and a stripper for a mother. Fighting was survival, and when his brother tried to protect him by sending him away, he was left to face the world alone. Numb for years, he's forgotten how to feel-until Maddy. What happens when opposites attract? Will they heal or destroy each other completely, leaving only ruins behind? Welcome to Crestwood Elite, the world's most exclusive academy, where mafia heirs from across the globe come to master the skills of organized crime. 𝐒𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤: "I'm not doing anything!" Hunter's rough voice slices through the air. He's right next to me and I can feel his heat. His smell. 𝐌𝐲 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐤𝐢𝐬𝐬. "Well, do nothing over 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞. Away from me!" I point to a random car, further away from where we're standing. "And why would I do that?" He lifts a brow, amused. "Because I can't stand to be in your presence. You make me sick." He looks taken aback by that, but then his face darkens as he drawls. "You didn't seem to be sick when I had my tongue down your throat last night. In fact, I recall you moaning for more."
