friendstolovers mafia

A friends-to-lovers assassin romance
🌒 He was born into blood. She chose it.
🌘 Now one of them has a kill order. And the other has the gun.

⸻

Cim Salvatore doesn't speak unless it matters-and when it does, it cuts deeper than any blade he wields. Born into the cold shadows of a fractured mafia dynasty, he learned young that silence is power and loyalty is war. He's quiet, dangerous, and terrifyingly precise.

Kie Moreno wasn't born a killer-she became one. Clever, sarcastic, and deadlier than she looks, she earned her place in the underworld with nothing but grit and a perfectly aimed bullet. She's loud where he's quiet, fire where he's ice.

They don't trust easily.
They don't love easily.
But somewhere between whispered missions, near-death escapes, and late-night rooftop stakeouts...
They chose each other.

Now Kie has a job she never wanted:
Kill Cim Salvatore.

In a world where loyalty is fatal and emotions get you killed, how do you save someone...
when you were trained to pull the trigger?

No Saints in Silk by cloudytears_xx

No Saints in Silk A dark mafia romance filled with blood, betrayal, and silk-threaded lies. In the American underworld, power doesn't roar; it whispers behind closed doors. Deals are signed with champagne toasts and sealed in blood. And at the heart of it all stands Milana Saint: rich, ruthless, raised by the Don of the Black Diamond Empire himself. She was born into legacy, trained to smile at kings and slit throats behind their thrones. But when a single gunshot shatters her loyalty-and the truth about her mother's death comes to light-Milana's not playing nice anymore. She's not the princess of this empire. She's the storm. Three men. One Greek. One Italian. One Japanese. All foreign. All dangerous. All pulling her deeper into a war they swore she'd never survive. One of them was sent to protect her. Another to use her. And the last? Might've already broken her without even touching her. Love was never supposed to be part of the equation, but in a world where loyalty gets you killed and legacy is written in blood, Milana learns fast: You can't trust family, You can't escape enemies. And you sure as hell can't fall in love. Not unless you're ready to lose everything. Forced proximity. Forbidden love. Power plays. Brutal betrayals. Deadly secrets. And three sinners who'd kill for her.

Blood Ties & Broken Vows by daisylovesyoongi

She was raised to smile sweetly and shoot without mercy. He was trained to rule an empire built on blood. Kataleya Rosario is the Cuban cartel princess no one sees coming-an assassin hidden beneath silk, a woman wrapped in charm but forged in violence. She follows her own rules, fears no man, and plays a deadly game with a smile on her blood-red lips. Adrian Romero is the cold, calculating heir to the Italian mafia throne. Feared by all. Loved by none. Except for the one girl who broke his heart when they were teenagers-the one girl he could never have. Now, they're being forced into an arranged marriage meant to end a war. But Kataleya doesn't bow, and Adrian doesn't beg. And love? That's not part of the contract. As secrets unravel, bullets fly, and passion ignites into obsession, the lines between love and hate blur. Beneath the violence lies a truth neither of them wants to admit-they were made for each other. But in a world where betrayal is currency and power means everything, can two assassins trust the one person who could destroy them both? 50 chapters of romance, war, and filthy temptation. Enemies. Lovers. And one final vow sealed in blood.

Tried For Error by CBNellnebach

"Previously known as... Scarletstroke: Girl assassin" * No hesitation * No killing of children * No killing of innocent people * No emotions * And defenitely, NO falling in love ~ Those are the main rules code named Scarletstroke, former assassin Scarlett Gonzales lives by. She is a highly-trained, highly-precise and highly-dangerous killer who considers herself the same as any other businesswoman, doing 'just her job' and convincing herself that she is dealing with 'just her target' rather than a person. She succeeds in contract killing better than any known assassin that ever existed and successfully ignores all feelings or emotions, knowing that they tend to make the "job" not go as planned. So when a new contract comes in and the mark is a certain gang leader that caught Scarlett's eye, she couldn't resist venturing deeper into a world filled with illegal activities on a personal mission to find out why he has a price on his head. Although, what she finds in that world isn't quite what she expected. Now, torn between duty and passion, Scarlett must decide if she pulls the trigger or if she becomes the target herself? Who knows, maybe he might be the answer to her deepest desires. Because her next target: Cayden Carlisle. +++ The culprit took in a deep, calming breath. "You may as well shoot me now, but just know that I am still going to kiss you." By the time he grabbed her waist with one hand and her wrist, connecting to the hand holding the gun, with the other... she was lost. Completely gone. She never stood a chance. His smell, his mouth, his soft growling noises. They were more than enough to disarm her. "I finally figured something out about you." He whispered, pulling her closer, trying to meld every part of her to him. "You display all your emotions through body language. In this case, your hand is betraying your mask." Every word of his was chosen for maximum impact. No wasted syllables, no extra breaths. Just facts.

He didn't like to show me his darker sides but I don't care, I love him with al my heart and that only makes it harder to leave without an experimentation.

But I don't want a child livening in a world of guns and business. Yep, you hurt that right. I found out a few weeks ago that I was pregnant, but I can't tell Romano. I don't know how he would react and if he even wants a child! We never talked about it. Maybe he'll just think it's a waste of time and that it would be distracting and slow him down. And besides, I don't want my child in this life. 'But he would be such a good fader.' NO! I can't think like that! This is the best thing I can do for him and our child. 'But he will hate you for it.' NO I leave tonight that's final! My thoughts are interrupted by a knock on the door. "Miss Julia dinner's ready" a maid said "I'm coming" here it goes. Look I know the description is bad but give it a chance :) If you read it I hoe you enjoy!!!

kill kiss & Repeat by AniV012

Title: kill kiss & repeat Genre: Dark Romance | Mafia | Thriller For two decades, the underworld was ruled by two empires-ruthless, untouchable, and divided by an unspoken law: no crossing lines. No love. No mercy. No second chances. But rules were made to be broken. When a cold, silent heir is ambushed in enemy territory, survival comes at an unexpected cost: mercy from the last person who should've shown it. It wasn't weakness-it was obsession. A shadow begins to follow her every move, learning her rhythms, shielding her in secret, bleeding loyalty where there should be none. Meanwhile, on the opposite end of the war, hatred burns with reckless fire. Two enemies-polar opposites, forged in violence-collide in a moment that should've ended in blood. But fury twists into something hotter, darker. A dangerous chemistry that turns a kill order into a slow, inevitable surrender. But in their world, love is treason. While hearts begin to betray blood, a deeper threat emerges. Secrets are leaking. Alliances are cracking. A hidden force is playing puppet master-pitting families against each other, turning lovers into liabilities and loyalty into a loaded gun. This isn't just a war between syndicates anymore. It's the beginning of extinction. In a world where love is lethal and trust is a loaded weapon, every heartbeat is a countdown-and someone's pulling the trigger.
