She grew up with lies.
He grew up with violence.
They had no childhood, only scars.
Alys thought she'd escaped hell-a murdered father, a broken mother, a life built on fear. Today, she tries to remain invisible, to forget.
When she crosses paths with Hunter, he's a man broken by a tragic past. The son of a mafia family, he witnessed his father murdered before his eyes when he was only 15. Since that day, he's hunted down those responsible, one by one. He's relentless, cold, and terrifying, but deep down, he's filled with an immense emptiness. When he crosses paths with Alys, a woman who seems somehow connected to those he's hunting, he finds himself trapped. His mission of revenge turns into an inner struggle, between anger and the attraction he feels for her.
Between secrets, violence, and broken loyalties, their attraction becomes a toxic obsession. An impossible bond between two survivors of a ruined empire.
And in the mafia, love isn't a weakness... it's a debt to be paid.

possessive psychopath
That encounter was supposed to be ordinary. Just a girl showing pity to a wounded stranger in a dark alley. But for Alex, it was fate. When Bella rescued him and brought him to her apartment, she had no idea that the man she saved wasn't just a victim-but a monster with a dark past and a deadly obsession. At first, Alex appeared weak, hurt, and distant. But after Bella treated his wounds, something inside him shifted. He saw her as his. Only his. No one else was allowed to touch her, approach her, or hurt her-except himself. Behind his handsome face and piercing gaze, lay a damaged soul, haunted by trauma... and an unnatural kind of love. Bella never imagined that her act of kindness that night would trap her in a story filled with pain, blood, and possessive love. ---Terminé

Mia Brown believed she had her heart safely guarded, wrapped tight under layers of resilience. Life had taught her that trusting too deeply could lead to heartbreak, and dreams didn't always come true. She knew it was safer to rely on herself, to focus on her work and keep her emotions locked away. But a quiet longing stirred beneath her resolve, whispering dreams of a love so deep and true that it would feel like home. And then, there was Alex Walker. From the moment their paths crossed, something shifted in Mia-a warmth, a spark she couldn't ignore. Alex was magnetic yet grounded, a man of strength and subtle tenderness, with eyes that seemed to see into the guarded corners of her heart. He had a way of challenging her walls with every smile, every unspoken word, breaking down the defenses she'd built over time. Mia didn't believe in fairy tales, and yet, as she looked out into the future, there was a flicker of hope, fragile yet undeniable, that maybe she had found something real. Something she hadn't known she'd been searching for. But what if love was more than a feeling? What if it required trust, patience, and a vulnerability she had never allowed herself? Mia's journey would ask her to let go, to be open, to choose love even when it felt uncertain. And in the quiet moments, as she dared to hope, a single, fervent thought lingered in her mind: Could he be mine? ꧁༒☬ ʙᴇ ᴍɪɴᴇ ☬༒꧂ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

**She saves lives. He takes them.** Amara Jensen has survived poverty, her parents' addictions, and raising twelve siblings while fighting her way through medical school. She's learned the hard way that men leave, love destroys, and trust is a death sentence. Then a stranger pulls her from a dark alley where thugs left her broken and bleeding-and she can't forget his haunted eyes or the way he made her feel safe for the first time in her life. Cassian Vitale doesn't do relationships. The mafia boss built his empire on fear and control, inheriting power at seventeen through blood and violence. At twenty-nine, he trusts no one, feels nothing, and rules his city with absolute authority. Until he hears her scream. Until he can't stop coming back. Until she becomes the one thing he'll burn the world down to protect. One night. One brutal attack. One impossible connection between a struggling medical student and the most dangerous man in the city. But when jealous rivals strike, buried trauma resurfaces, and an unexpected pregnancy binds them together, Amara faces an impossible choice: Can she trust the dark protector who makes her feel whole? Or will loving Cassian Vitale cost her everything she's fought so hard to build? **Sometimes the monster is the hero. Sometimes safety comes with blood on its hands. Sometimes love means surrendering to the one person who terrifies you most.** *A dark mafia romance about two shattered souls finding healing in each other's broken pieces.*

Until then, he is released into the custody of his godfather Adam, a high-profile lawyer who has believed in River's innocence from the beginning. River's childhood friend Amber is not so sure. To her mother, who is River's godmother, he is a danger that should never have been allowed back into their lives. To her father, River is a broken boy failed by the system. To Amber... he is the ghost of her childhood. The friend she once loved. And the stranger she no longer understands. River returns colder, unreadable, and beautiful in a way that makes Amber's heart ache with something she wished she had outgrown. But behind his quiet stare lies something darker - a truth he has kept locked inside since the night everything changed. Everyone wants to know what happened. Everyone wants answers. But only River knows the truth. And the closer Amber gets to him, the more she wonders if some secrets are better left buried.

She wants to win. And with Viktor at her side, she'll burn every last bridge to claim what's hers. In a world ruled by blood, loyalty decides who lives and who dies.Terminé
