In a quiet coastal town, Serena keeps to herself-tattoos inked across her skin like armor, walls built brick by brick around a past she refuses to revisit. Her days are quiet, wrapped in paperbacks and dust motes, tucked away behind the counter of her sleepy bookshop.
Until he walks in.
Tyson is all danger and silence, a brutal storm behind calm eyes. A mafia leader in hiding, forced into a town too soft for someone who only knows violence. He doesn't belong in her world-but he keeps coming back.
She's the one thing he can't control.
He's the one thing she can't ignore.
What starts as wary glances and barbed tension slowly ignites into obsession, heat, and a terrifying kind of trust. But when blood comes knocking and secrets claw to the surface, Serena must choose: run from the fire-or burn with him.
Crimson Oaths is a slow-burn mafia romance steeped in possessive heat, bruising loyalty, and the kind of love that demands everything.

Crimson Rose | ✓
"You burned me alive. And I'd walk through that fire again, just to feel your flame one more time." It wasn't fate that pulled them together. It was something far more dangerous. A collision of fire and fury-of hearts too reckless to know when to stop. He was a storm-violent, relentless. And she, a spark too wild to be tamed. He was everything she should have feared: cruel, powerful, untouchable. But his love was an inferno, and she... she stepped willingly into the flames. When their worlds collided, it wasn't just love. It was obsession. A beautiful kind of ruin. Because some hearts don't beat... They bleed. And some loves don't heal... They burn. "If I disappear in the name of loving you, let the ashes remember what my heart dared to feel." [This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real people or events is purely coincidental.]Complete

Vincent Fontana isn't just powerful. He's untouchable, calculated and far too interested in her. Their connection is magnetic, completely inappropriate and totally inevitable. When a betrayal that comes from inside the syndicate threatens to break apart the organisation, Ava's loyalty is tested in ways she never saw coming. What begins as survival becomes obsession; with a man that will kill to protect her and a life she never could have imagined she'd find herself living.
