The Reaper's Bride by N_E_Bloom

🖤 Dangerous lies. Violent devotion. Twisted romance that cuts as deep as a blade. This is not a love story. It's a war story in disguise. A dark mafia arranged marriage romance She was the bride they thought was harmless. They didn't know they married death in silk. ⸻ In the glittering underworld of French and Italian Mafia dynasties, Celeste Moreau is the crown jewel - a delicate, soft-spoken daughter of France's most powerful crime family. Or so they believe. Behind the doe eyes and designer dresses hides a whispered legend: La Dame Noire, the faceless assassin whose name makes grown men pray. She's one half of the infamous Reaper Twins, a myth born in blood and silence. But no one suspects her - not her new enemies, not her new family... and certainly not her husband. Alessandro De Luca, heir to Italy's most feared empire, agrees to a marriage of convenience to save his crumbling legacy. He expects a docile, ornamental wife. What he gets is a riddle he can't solve, a shadow he can't pin down, and a woman who might just be his undoing. As enemies close in, bodies begin to fall - and each death leaves behind a calling card, signed with a name that should not exist. When secrets unravel and masks crack, trust turns to obsession, and obsession turns to something far more dangerous. Because you can't love a ghost. And you can't own a reaper. Not unless she lets you. ⸻

Their connection is immediate. Electric. Dangerous. What begins as a fleeting indulgence spirals into an addictive, soul-stirring affair that threatens to destroy the carefully curated life Imani has built. As the wedding countdown ticks louder, so does the pulse of her guilt-and the ache of craving a man she was never meant to love. Tyrone wants more. Derek suspects everything. And Imani is running out of time. Will she risk her future for a passion that consumes her? Or will she silence her desires and settle into the safety of what's expected? Scandal is a provocative, emotionally raw erotic drama that explores forbidden lust, complicated love, and the price of following your pleasure. For readers who crave heat with heartbreak-and stories that don't shy away from messy truths.

Above the Law by RainyDaysDarkNights

--First place winner of the 2017 Mist Awards-- Every 107 seconds another victim is sexually assaulted. Sixty-eight percent of sexual assaults go unreported. Ninety-eight percent of rapists will never see the inside of a cell. Eden Summers was just another statistic. Too afraid to speak out, too afraid to seek justice. But justice comes in many forms. Justice as unethical as the crime itself, justice the city's vigilante gladly delivers with a blade through the offender's chest and an offer Eden can't refuse. While the masked man is determined to serve justice where justice is due, Detective Parker Yates is just as determined to keep Eden safe from harm's way and as close to him as he can. But as feelings between Eden and Yates become all too real--too dangerous--Eden has to choose where her loyalties lie; with the man behind the mask or the man behind the badge. But Eden can't deny it; the influence of the masked man is intoxicating. Roles reverse. Predators become prey. The prey becomes predatory. Yet, Eden isn't sure she's willing to play her part in the man's twisted game.

Ego's Trap | ✔ by indigosa

Bribed by her stubborn and terribly conceited self, Imani Ane agrees to be the personal maid of a creep whose family's a little too perfect. To the undeniably humble Ane, all's generally fine as she struts about the wealthy Campbell's residence and tends to its needy, frustratingly beautiful twig of a Master, but such mercy's bound to not last long── love is in the air with little to no patience, and so are the demons hiding in plain sight, always ready to pounce on any soul that disturbs them, even if they're Ane's own. Prepare yourselves for a wild, unforgettable mash-up of humor, psycho-thrill, and drama. © 2019-2021 Indigo Ivy Salamander / @indigosa All Rights Reserved ----- Featured in the 2022 @Wattpad Community Curator List for Hispanic and Latin American Heritage Month.
