I was hired to take notes.
Not bury bodies.
But Makio Mori doesn't play by the rules.
Billionaire. Cold. Brilliant. Dangerous.
And somehow, I'm the one he keeps too close.
He looks at me like I'm a secret.
A threat.
A temptation.
Then his rival corners me with a warning:
"Fall for Makio, and you'll be the next body we bury."
Now I'm caught between two powerful men-
One owns me.
The other wants to destroy him.
And maybe... save me.
But in this world, love is just another weapon.
And I'm already bleeding.

Bare for you (French Mafia Romance)
Cash I fucked up. Or rather, I'm fucked up. How did I, a high ranking member of the French mafia, allow myself to be distracted by this... stripper? I was supposed to use her for information, that's it. It should have been easy. I pay her money and she tells me about the Russians. Simple. Except, I fucked it up. I let the one advantage we had over them go because I fucking claimed her. What's even worse is that she hates pretending to be my woman and fights me with every single thing. Yeah, it's a fucked up situation but now that I've met her and she's mine, I wouldn't change a goddamn thing. Lux I fucked up. I knew the risk of the Russian men finding out about me but I went along with it anyway. Hell, I almost had to. If you were offered $10,000 to ask a man a few question, would you turn it down? You're a goddamn liar if you say no. Or maybe you're smart as hell because now I'm stuck with a mafia man that refuses to leave me alone. I'm now in between a war I never knew existed. If I had the chance to go back and never meet Cash, would I do it? You damn right I would. Who am I kidding? Now I'm the goddamn liar.Complete
The Nerd Who Owned Me: My Enemy, My Master (18+)
#1 (1.83k) in twisted love #1 (1.6k) in version #1 in toxic desire #3 in mature read Love can heal. Love can destroy. In a world where power means survival, Midori rules with fists and fear-a queen born from pain. But everything begins to unravel when the boy she once humiliated, Kyo, stops being afraid. He doesn't fight back. He doesn't flinch. He just stares-like he sees the part of her even she refuses to face. Their connection is violent. Obsessive. Twisted. A war between two broken souls, both trying to control, dominate, and survive each other. What begins as cruelty becomes something far more dangerous-something that forces them to confront the monsters within. This is not a love story. It's not about heroes or redemption. It's a story about two villains-deeply flawed, chaotic people driven by obsession, pain, and a desperate need to be seen. They don't care who gets hurt. Not even each other. So don't expect gentle romance, and don't look for clear lines between right and wrong. This story doesn't offer comfort. It offers fire. Step in, if you dare. And remember: not all love is meant to save you. Some love exists to burn you down.Complete

Bound By His Shadow ( The Vincolo Series - Season 1)
I never believed in MONSTERS until I met him. Men like him? Oh, they don't walk in the light. Nobody says their names out loud, their DEEDS aren't recorded, but you'll see their HANDIWORK everywhere if you know where to look. It all started that one night. At the time, it seemed like nothing, just another evening. Little did I know, that was the night everything would change. The first time I stumbled into his DOMAIN was purely by accident, I had no clue what I was walking into. But the second time? That was different. I went there on purpose, driven by a job. Nothing personal, just BUSSINESS, or so I thought. Something I could easily leave behind when it was all done. Oh, how naive I was! His world isn't one you can just wander in and out of without a scratch. It's a place built on unspoken agreements, lies that dig deep, and truths too dangerous for most to handle. Every moment spent there pulls me further into his gravity. I thought I could maintain my distance, but somehow, I found myself getting closer to him,much closer than I ever planned or wanted. Close enough to almost forget what he really is. And that's the trouble because deep down, I still know how it ends. If he ever figured out why I'm really here, he wouldn't hesitate to put a bullet through my head. Walk away now while I can? I wish! Somewhere along this twisted path, with fate and its cruel jokes about CONTROL and POWER over others' lives, an ILLUSION crept into my mind. That maybe, just maybe, I had control over everything. That I was PLAYING the game. But no, not once was I ever the PLAYER. Just a PAWN in this bloody game of BLOOD & THRONE !! ____________________ ⚠️ WARNING :- THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE THEMES AND STRONG LANGUAGE.

"And what message would you carve?" I whispered. He reached out. Brushed the back of his knuckles down my jaw, rough and slow. "Mine." It wasn't sweet. It wasn't romantic. It was a brand. And then he dropped his hand.
