At the annual masquerade ball Natasha sits with her family, this including her mother, father, and her brother who has wandered off to chat with his best friend. As Natasha is looking for her brother to have him join them for the dinner portion, she locks eyes with Damien. 

Damien being fierce and dark, comes from a family who has their life surrounded by money and business. Not any kind of business though, not a family cafe or construction company, the mafia. The only people who know about their "business" is the people they are in business with and his best friend, Natasha's brother, Grayson.

Although Damien is dangerous and rude Natasha can't seem to take her eyes off him, even if she hates him. 

Even though Damien is in the mafia, him and Grayson share a house. They've known each other since they were little and always hung out at Damien's house. Natasha was living by herself in a temporary apartment until a bad storm hit and her apartment started to flood, causing her to have to move in with her brother, and Damien.

Blades Between Us by Elliehol07
25 parts Complete Mature
"No matter what, we will be separated, but we will find our way back to each other. I promise you, I will find you." They were never meant to be partners. Olivia has lived by one rule since the day she swore vengeance for her father's death, trust no one. Cold, ruthless, and infamous for her sharp tongue, she's a blade in the dark who prefers to work alone. Her life depends on it. Damien is her opposite disciplined, calculating, and unwavering in his loyalty to the order that forged him. He sees Olivia as reckless, a liability who lets her temper lead. She sees him as arrogant, a man so blinded by duty that he's forgotten what freedom feels like. When a mission forces them to work together, sparks fly and not the good kind. Every step is a battle of wills, every word an insult waiting to be thrown. But in the shadows of betrayal and bloodshed, something unexpected begins to grow between them. They only get a mission together every few months but they learn each other's scars. They see what no one else is allowed to. And slowly, against every instinct they've sharpened into survival, they fall. But love between assassins is forbidden. To be caught would mean execution, not just for themselves, but for anyone who dared protect them. Their hearts become the most dangerous secret they've ever carried, a silent rebellion hidden beneath blades and blood. Now, every mission is more than life or death. It's a test of loyalty, desire, and how far they're willing to go to protect each other in a world where love is the sharpest betrayal of all.
FORBIDDEN ROMANCE  by olajumokelovesbooks

‎Behind the glittering façades of Bangkok's elite lies a deadly secret-two powerful empires at war. On paper, the Divine Empire and the Nu-Mo-Ne Corporation are rival multinational companies. But in truth, they are the blood-soaked heart of Thailand's underground mafia-locked in a generational feud that has claimed lives and loyalty for decades. ‎ ‎At the center of this cold war are two boys. ‎ ‎North, 18, is the only son and reluctant heir to the Divine Empire, known in the shadows as the ruthless Roman Killers. Reserved, obedient, and painfully aware of the violence that runs through his bloodline, North would rather bury his head in books than hold a gun. Attending the prestigious Harrow International School, he is top of his class-but quietly suffocating under the expectation, fear, and the unspoken truth about who he really is. ‎ ‎Night, also 18, is the unapologetic heir to the Nu-Mo-Ne Empire, feared in the underworld as The Rebellion. He's loud, fashionable, proudly gay, and has never bowed to anyone-not even his father, the empire's merciless kingpin. Night attends St. Gabriel International School and commands attention wherever he goes. Beneath the sass and sparkle, however, is a mind as sharp as his tongue and a soul that's more bruised than he lets on. ‎ ‎For years, North and Night have stayed in their corners, never crossing paths, never speaking, never needing to. Their fathers' hatred runs deep, but to them, it's always been background noise-until one night changes everything. ‎At a glittering masquerade ball, masked and anonymous, their worlds collide. In the safety of not knowing, they dance, they touch, they spark-only to discover too late that the person who made their heart race is the one they've been taught to hate. ‎ ‎As secrets unravel, loyalties shift. North and Night are forced to confront the truth: the greatest danger isn't the war outside-but the love blooming inside. ‎ ‎Will love be the final casualty of t
