Violette James has spent her entire life surviving. Abused, sold, and discarded by the people meant to protect her, she escapes to New York with nothing but a trash bag of clothes and the hope of breathing without fear. Working at a rundown café, she keeps her head down-until the night she saves a little boy from being kidnapped, shattering the careful walls she's built around herself.
The boy's father is Luca Romano, a cold, ruthless mafia boss born in shadows and raised in blood. He's spent his life with a gun in his hand and an ice wall around his heart, haunted by a past that stole everything he loved, forcing him to take the throne meant for his older brother. The world knows him as heartless. But with Violette, he smiles-a dangerous, beautiful thing.
When Violette becomes the boy's reluctant protector, she steps into a world of power, violence, and secrets she never wanted to touch again. As Luca pulls her deeper into his world, she discovers a side of herself she thought she lost-the fighter, the protector, the woman who deserves to be loved without fear.
But falling for a mafia king means blood on your hands and enemies at your door. And Luca's family isn't ready to accept a Black, broken girl into their empire-especially his mother, who would rather see Violette gone than see her son choose love over legacy.
In a world built on loyalty and blood, can two fractured souls find safety in each other's arms, or will the darkness consume them both?

Beneath the Surface
Isabelle is a kind-hearted young woman with a soft spot for everyone, even those who don't deserve it. After the death of her father and a difficult life with her unpredictable mother, she moves to a new town, seeking a fresh start. But when she unknowingly steps into the world of Domenico, a brooding, ruthless man tied to the dangerous Italian mafia, her kindness puts her directly in his path. Domenico is cold, calculating, and unforgiving-traits that have kept him at the top of the criminal world after inheriting his father's empire. He trusts no one, and he certainly doesn't have time for someone like Isabelle, whose sweetness and naivety irritate him more than he cares to admit. When he dismisses her without a second thought, Isabelle's response is anything but what he expects. Determined to prove herself, she takes on the challenge to show him she's not just some fragile girl who will back down. But as their paths continue to cross, what starts as animosity slowly transforms into something deeper-something neither of them expected. Beneath Domenico's icy exterior lies a man tortured by his past, and beneath Isabelle's gentle nature is a quiet strength that threatens to crack the walls he's built around himself. In this slow-burn romance filled with tension, danger, and unspoken truths, both Domenico and Isabelle will have to confront the past they've tried to outrun and learn that beneath the surface, things are never as simple as they seem.Complete
Blood Meridian
They were never supposed to survive each other. Rin Rivas is the underworld's problem no one wants to solve - a sharp grin, a faster gun, and a hunger for chaos that leaves blood on every floor he walks across. Luca Mercer is the cartel's polished enforcer - perfect suit, perfect lies, and hands that only look clean when they're holding your heart still enough to stop it. When a job turns sideways and betrayal rots their chains of command, Rin and Luca find themselves bound together by secrets that could dismantle the city's rotten kings - or bury them both where no one will ever find the bodies. They hate each other more than they trust the city that owns them. But every fistfight turns into something filthy against a concrete wall. Every whispered threat turns into teeth scraping over bruises they swear they'll never admit they like. Every plan to run turns into another reason to stay. In a world that chews up loyalty and spits out corpses, love isn't a rescue. It's a weapon. And Rin and Luca know exactly how to use it on each other - over and over, until one of them finally pulls the trigger. Dirty, violent, and intoxicatingly slow-burn - Blood Meridian drags two broken men through bullets, blood, and the kind of hate that always tastes like a promise when it's gasped into someone's mouth at midnight. The city wants them dead. They want each other more.Complete
