Xavier Blackwood rules the criminal underworld with an iron fist and a heart encased in ice. Feared by rivals, adored by none, and trusted by fewer, he is a man of power, precision, and brutality. The name Blackwood echoes through the underground like a whispered curse-lethal, cold, and untouchable. No one crosses him and lives to tell the tale.
Isabella Santino is a ghost in the world of shadows-an assassin whose elegance and silence are as deadly as her blade. With no past, no ties, and no mercy, she's the weapon the highest bidders beg to command but never truly own. Her loyalty belongs to no one, and her secrets are buried deeper than any grave she's ever filled.
When Xavier and Isabella's paths collide in the smoke-filled corridors of betrayal, vengeance, and bloodlust, sparks don't just fly-they ignite a war. What begins as a collision of titans becomes a dangerous dance of dominance, secrets, and obsession. But underneath their hardened exteriors, something stirs. Something forbidden. Something human.
In a world where love is weakness and trust is a death sentence, "The Secret From Within" dares to ask: what happens when two monsters fall for the very thing they were taught to destroy?
Only one truth remains: every secret has its price. And some... are paid in blood.

The erection I feel on my thigh made my mind wonder off. Pinching my hip I moaned lowly when he hooked my legs around his waist.

Web of Lies (Book 2)
"I never planned to set foot in England again, not unless it was to kill my father. But for her, I'd walk straight back into the kingdom I swore to burn." Xavier Ruiz was supposed to be dead. Instead, he returns from captivity with a body that no longer obeys him, a mind sharpened by pain, and one purpose keeping him alive: find Antonio Ruiz and end the war his father started. Antonio has ruled through fear, blood, and betrayal for decades. He has destroyed families, buried secrets, and turned Xavier's life into a weapon. But this time, the damage is no longer limited to Xavier. Victoria has spent years grieving a man who was still alive. Now colder, stronger, and carrying wounds of her own, she wants the truth Xavier denied her. But the truth comes tangled in staged deaths, broken promises, and a love that has always blurred the line between protection and possession. As Antonio disappears deeper into the shadows, Xavier's search becomes an obsession. Every lead costs him another piece of himself. Every secret pushes Victoria further away. And the more Xavier tries to protect her, the more he risks becoming the very man he intends to destroy. With old enemies resurfacing and loyalty fracturing around them, survival will demand more than blood. And in the end, only one Ruiz will be left standing.

**𝑺𝒉𝒆 𝒌𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒆𝒚. He kills people for power. One dare will change everything.** Twenty-two-year-old Auriella Martinez lives for the nights-the parties, the drinks, the dares that pay just enough to forget the bruises her father leaves behind. With her long black hair, blue eyes, and reckless smile, she's the life of every party, the girl who never says no to a challenge. But behind the laughter and the liquor, she's drowning in secrets she can never tell. Then comes the dare that breaks all the rules: kiss Austin Blackwood for a hundred dollars. Austin is everything Auriella should avoid-wealthy, dangerous, and wrapped in shadows darker than the tattoos covering his skin. As a high-ranking member of a secret mafia organization, he's a man who takes what he wants and destroys what gets in his way. He's never let anyone close. Never cared about anyone. Until he tastes the party girl's lips and decides she's his. Now Austin is showing up everywhere-her café, her cheer practice, her favorite bars-watching her with eyes that promise possession and protection in equal measure. He sees the bruises she tries to hide, the pain beneath her smile, and he wants to save her from it all. Even if she doesn't want to be saved. Even if saving her means destroying everything in his path. But Auriella isn't looking for a savior. She's not looking for love. She's just trying to survive until she can escape the prison her home has become. The last thing she needs is a gorgeous, obsessive mafia man who looks at her like she's something worth killing for. As Austin's world of violence and power collides with Auriella's world of parties and pretend, the line between protection and possession begins to blur. Because Austin doesn't just want to save her-he wants to own her, body and soul. And he always gets what he wants. Even if it destroys them both. ---
