He walked into her café with blood on his hands and a target on his back.
She handed him a coffee and rolled her eyes.
Arabelle Rose lives in sprinkles and sunshine. She didn't plan on getting involved with the mafia, especially not the brooding heir with cold eyes and a matching gun.
Luciano Moretti has no time for distractions. But when the bubbly barista helps him in the middle of a shootout, she becomes a liability - one he's suddenly desperate to protect.
Now she's under his roof. Sharing his bed (with a line of pillows in between). And pretending to be his fiancée to survive.
But what happens when fake kisses feel a little too real?
He's dangerous. She's sunshine.

Sin Of Mafia
She was ordered to end his life, but his touch made her want to give him every piece of hers. He was a name on my father's kill list. Nothing more. Nothing personal. Until I saw him. Until I tasted the way danger lingers on a man's lips. I was raised in the shadows, a daughter of the mafia king, built from blood and lies. Love was never part of my story. But protecting him became my secret sin. I hid in the dark to save him, even when my hands were stained with everything he should fear. And when he finally touched me, it was like setting fire to every rule I'd ever known. We loved in whispers. We kissed like war. Every moment with him felt stolen, because it was. In our world, nothing beautiful survives. And when the truth comes for us, one of us will have to choose. Pull the trigger... or take the bullet. This isn't a love story. It's a funeral with a heartbeat.

But Elisa gets under his skin in ways he can't explain. And as much as he tries to stay distant, he keeps getting pulled toward her. They clash. They argue. They pretend not to care. But what happens when hate starts to blur into something else? Two broken souls. One dangerous marriage. Can love grow in the middle of lies, secrets, and scars?

A beautiful problem wrapped in fire and stubborn grace. ✙﹒ | "Not like this, Aria," he growled, his breath a hot brand against her lips as he pinned her wrist to the silk sheets. The city lights bled gold across his furious, perfect face. "Not when you won't remember". But the line between enemy and obsession shatters the night he confesses the truth. Now, trapped in a gilded cage of his making, Aria faces a choice, let the boy who was supposed to break her become her only protector, or risk everything to burn his world to the ground. Loving him is a death sentence. But leaving him might just be the trigger that starts a war.

Amusement filled Santino's gaze as he stood up, abandoning the papers he desperately needed to read and sign. Yet, all that was forgotten as her bewitching lips protruded. "I might not be your dad but," a midnight lock of hair was pinned behind her ear, "I can be your papi." Shuddering, her body drew closer to him, betraying her mind. "You're sick." Taking the nape of her neck, Santino leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear. "Yet you still dream about my touch, don't you, principessa?" ❦ When Santino Adriano discovers that the Bratva has betrayed their neutrality by secretly working with his family's enemies, he's determined to send a brutal message that cannot be ignored.

Fresh out of boarding school and blissfully oblivious to the power struggle boiling beneath her feet, Olivia is suddenly whisked away from everything she's ever known and thrust into a world where loyalty is weaponised and power is the ultimate prize.

The line between fear and attraction is thin, and like a moth to a flame, she seeks him out, unafraid of the burn it may cause. She's never known anyone like him-an older, dangerous man who makes her question everything she thought she knew about desire. Olivia just didn't expect her captor to be so handsome.
