"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."
It's his father's territory- an empire built on fear, blood, and betrayal- and Xavier's only reason for staying is to burn it to the ground. Antonio Ruiz has ruled unchecked for decades, but this time, the war is personal. Protecting her meant stepping back into the shadows he'd crawled out of.
But Victoria's here now. Colder, sharper, and determined to find out the truth, even as the shadow of her loved one's death hangs between them. With whispers linking Xavier to the killing, trust is a fragile thing, and every move against Antonio risks shattering it completely. As old enemies resurface, the line between protection and possession blur.
In a city where loyalty is currency and lies cut deeper than any blade, one wrong step could cost them everything, dragging them into a final reckoning that will demand blood.
And in the end, only one Ruiz will be left standing.

🔥A Love Worth burning For🔥

On the outside, I'm still Dante De Luca, cold, controlled, from one of Rome's wealthiest families. But inside? I'm barely holding together the pieces she didn't break. Then came Aurelia. Her laugh. Her eyes. The way she says my name like it means something. She's Annalisa's Best friend. And Worse... she's taken. But when I'm with her... I feel like me again. Not the version everyone expects. Just Dan.. the name only she calls me. She should stay away I should walk away But I can't Because when she looks at me like that I'd set the whole world on fire just to hold her once more. This isn't the kind of love people forgive. It's the kind that burns. But some things... are worth burning for. (book cover idea by @Danae_is_bear2 on ig)Complete
Undoing Us
Xavier "Xav" Ramirez has everything-wealth, power, and an easy life as the son of a governor. But behind his privileged life, he struggles with the pressure to succeed. His father demands perfection, warning him that if he doesn't graduate as top student, he will be sent to a military camp to "fix his attitude." The problem? Xavier is far from being an academic genius, and his biggest competition is Sofia "Sofi" Navarro-a quiet, hardworking pastor's daughter who seems untouchable. To make things worse, Xavier's friends challenge him to a reckless bet: make Sofia fall in love with him. If he wins, they'll reward him, and if he loses, he faces humiliation. Desperate to prove himself and avoid his father's punishment, Xavier accepts the challenge. He starts getting close to Sofia, pretending to be a changed man. But something unexpected happens-he falls for her. Sofia, innocent and pure-hearted, believes that Xavier is sincere. Just when she starts to let her guard down, she discovers the truth about the bet. Heartbroken and betrayed, she leaves the city. Meanwhile, Xavier faces the consequences of his actions. His father follows through on his threat, sending him to military camp. The once-reckless playboy is forced to confront his mistakes, learn discipline, and change. Months later, Xavier returns as a different man-stronger, more mature, and ready to right his wrongs. But Sofia has built a life of her own, and she's not the same naive girl who once believed in him. Will Xavier be able to win her back? Or will Sofia's wounds be too deep to heal?CompleteBed of Lies
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. Now the past is back-and this time, it wants blood. Victoria learned early how to survive in silence. Grief became her shadow. Guilt, her constant companion. Because if she had died that night instead of her mother... maybe everything would have been different. But the past doesn't stay buried, and when it drags her back into a world she barely escaped, silence won't save her anymore. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, rage, and the monster his past made him. A man shaped by violence, and driven by retribution. Victoria was everything he should avoid- soft yet unyielding, broken but still standing. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own. She saw too much, pushed too far and worst of all, she made him remember something he buried a long time ago. He hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. What exists between them isn't gentle. It isn't safe or healing. It destroys. And when the truth comes for them both, they'll have to decide: Run. Burn. Or destroy everything in their path.Complete

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒚 𝑮𝒊𝒓𝒍'𝒔 𝑷𝒂𝒊𝒅 𝑨𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓
**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. ---
