But enemies are closing in, and the line between loyalty and survival gets thinner with every move they make.

Gailwood: Book One
Raised in Texas under the roof of a corrupt but cunning cop father, Koeroi is the product of old-world bloodlines dressed in Southern grit. His triplet siblings-Bryson (stoic, calculating) and Genesis (passionate, manipulative)-were his ride-or-die until the betrayals began. After a violent string of events, Koeroi ends up on death row in a Texas prison. Officially, he's a ghost waiting to die. Unofficially? He's bait in a family war. Koeroi is broken out of a high-security transport convoy by his best friend, Dexter "D" Hawkmen, a private contractor with shadow networks across Europe and the U.S. Dexter pulls off the breakout with his own crew, but keeps a critical secret from Koeroi: Genesis helped orchestrate it-not out of love, but for reasons unknown, possibly tied to her former lover.Concluida

Marked by blood
In the harsh streets of Naples, amidst a cold, rainy night, stands an eight-year-old girl, carrying on her shoulders a past heavier than her years. Marie... a girl who wasn't born an orphan, but fate stole her mother, then her innocence at the hands of a father addicted to alcohol and gambling, before tossing her out of his life like a worn-out piece of cloth. But in a moment of despair and loss, a luxurious black car stopped, and a man named Lorenzo Marini stepped out... a mysterious businessman who lived between the luxury watch trade and, beneath it, the illicit arms trade. He adopted her, hid her from the world, and raised her in the shadows, far from the eyes of his four children... children who had no idea of her existence. Fifteen years later, when he reunites them in the family mansion, he announces his intention to marry. The children prepare to confront the strange woman their father will marry... But the shock lies not in the woman, but in Marie herself. The little girl who has grown into a beautiful young woman holds within her a remarkable power and a secret that could tear the family apart... or bring it back together. But will they fall in love with her? Or into her trap? And does Lorenzo truly want the best for her... or is he manipulating her as part of a game much bigger than love?Concluida
In The Devil Hands
Imagine your father-a once honorable and loving man, now desperate and powerless-can no longer pay the unforgiving gambling debt he had stacked up for decades. And because he's unable to be that protective and respected father he once was, he sells his only daughter to a notorious Mexican gang leader as collateral just to save himself from death. As troubling as they may have been as a dream, that was the reality of 24-year-old Naomi Bennett. As soon as her birthday came around, she was bombarded with devastating news that she would no longer have control of her life. She was now owned by a random man due to an issue she had no association with, unable to escape or hide from his ruthlessness, conniving ways, and inhumane behavior. Since becoming the new leader of the Mexican gang, The Black Shadow, Santiago Alejandro de la Vega vowed to maintain that mysterious and demeaning atmosphere the organization has been carrying for years. He handled business as he saw fit: coldblooded, devious, haunting, and dirty. No one ever thought to play with him out of fear of what he could and would do if tried, except for one. A woman who was given to him as collateral, a hardheaded piece of property that angered every cell in his body and made his job more difficult than it had ever been. As badly as he wants to send her away to the mountains-avoid having to constantly deal with her attitudes and sass-Santiago finds her rebelliousness intriguing enough to keep her around. Emotions flare. Feelings emerge. Problems spark. The Devil holds rules and codes of conduct to keep himself and his team in line. Any rule broken is met with severe consequences. But he couldn't help but risk breaking one for her. Published: 07/3/25 Ended:
