They were rivals trained to kill. Now, they have to trust each other to survive.

Amora Saint is a blade in motion-reckless, fiery, and relentless. Every mission she takes is a defiance, a challenge to the man whose shadow she's been forced to live in.

Elias Kane is precision in human form-cold, calculated, and infuriatingly perfect. He doesn't make mistakes, doesn't waste words, and doesn't forget who beat him to the kill... or who didn't.

Both elite assassins trained under the same brutal organization, their careers have been a never-ending contest of skill, blood, and pride. For years, they've been pitted against each other, their rivalry sharpened by proximity and unresolved tension.

But when their handler assigns them a target too dangerous for either of them alone-a high-value ghost tied to global arms trade and deeper Syndicate secrets-they're forced into an alliance neither of them asked for.

As their mission spirals through betrayal, corruption, and bodies that won't stay buried, Amora and Elias must navigate deadly territory and each other. Enemies make for efficient killers. Lovers make for fatal distractions.

In a world where trust can get you killed and feelings are just another weakness to exploit, one thing is certain:

If they don't kill the target-or each other-first...
They'll both burn.

Raise a glass. Lock your sights. This is A Toast to Hell.

Nicole Rivers was raised in a world where emotions were weaknesses to be cut out. Trained from her teenage years by a secret syndicate known as The Veil, she became one of their most efficient assassins - silent, ruthless, and invisible. She never questioned an order, never hesitated. Her reputation was built on precision and detachment.But even perfect killers crave something human - something real. She just never thought it would come in the form of a spy sent to stop her. Ava Carter lived in the realm of deception. A top agent for the Intelligence Bureau, she was trained to manipulate, seduce, and extract secrets without leaving a trace. Her missions were clean, her emotions calculated - until Nicole appeared on her radar. Their first encounter was chaos: bullets, smoke, and a single shared look that neither could shake. What began as a mission turned into a collision - two women on opposite sides, bound by orders but drawn by something neither could explain. Nicole was supposed to kill Ava. Ava was supposed to capture Nicole. Instead, they found themselves working together when both agencies turned against them after a botched operation that revealed truths neither was meant to uncover. Now fugitives, they move through cities under false names - partners in survival, but more than that in the spaces between. There's a tension in every glance, a heartbeat in every argument, a spark every time their hands brush while cleaning their weapons or patching each other's wounds. Nicole tells herself she can't afford to care. Ava swears she won't fall for someone who kills for a living. But in a world built on lies, the only thing that feels real is each other - and that's what makes it dangerous. Because love, for people like them, isn't salvation. It's a weakness that could get them both killed.

The Cost of Devotion  by wholesomeartifacts
48 parts Ongoing Mature
Octavia Moretti has spent her life in the shadows of the mafia world. Silent, calculating, and untouchable. But when an assassination attempt leaves her father on his deathbed, she's forced into an arranged marriage with their family's greatest enemy: Luca Barone. Luca is ruthless, feared, and utterly merciless. He never wanted a wife, let alone her; the woman who hates him for her brother's death. But their marriage isn't about love; it's about power. A fragile truce to unite two warring families against a traitor in their ranks. Octavia refuses to be a pawn, and Luca refuses to be distracted. But when she's ambushed and left for dead, everything changes. Luca finds her bleeding out, barely alive; and something inside him snaps. Nobody touches what's his. From that moment, Luca is obsessed with protecting her, his need to hunt down the men who hurt her becoming a brutal, unforgiving mission. He doesn't go into hiding; he makes them run. While Octavia struggles against his control, Luca wages war in her name, carving a path of vengeance through the underworld. But Octavia is no damsel in distress. She won't be locked away, won't be controlled, and certainly won't let Luca fight her battles alone. As their forced proximity turns to something more dangerous; a desire neither of them can fight; the lines between hate and obsession blur. Loyalty will be tested. Betrayal is inevitable. And when the truth about who ordered the hit comes to light, it won't just break their fragile alliance; it will force them to decide if protecting each other is worth setting the world on fire.

He seemed like the devil. He was evil. Cruel. She was always portrayed as a weapon. A tool. An occasional use. One wrong turn -literally- and everything changes. What happens when she finally decides to stand up for herself? The once known 'shy' assassin is now a runaway killer. Will she be able to protect the people she loves while fighting for her title? That arrogant and dangerous man, Zion Armani, who has a past trailing to hers...They meet again. Forgiveness is a difficult concept. Two broken souls from two different sides. Many failed attempts, many murderous frenzies, and many unretrievable mistakes. Her concept of life is far-fetched compared to others, one of the many things that makes her so human and so real, even if she was taught to refuse it. Could she battle the wars in the underground world while an addicting man fought against her? A chase? Not necessarily. Will she find a reason to keep going? Will Zhara Di Maggio find something --or someone-- to believe in? Will the Golden Raven prove her fate wrong and find her own reason to live? ~~~ Zion Armani, even the darkest hide from his shadows. Zhara Di Maggio, the only brightness left. "You know how to live, you're just too scared to do it."
