What would you do if you got an invitation in the mail for your own wedding? Not remembering anyone proposing, or you even saying yes. The worst part is there's no return address so whoever left this knows where I live. Better yet I don't recognize the groom's name. I once knew a Rocco but it's not the same last name he had in foster care. To make it more confusing it says this wedding is supposed to take place in a week. Well, screw whoever this person is because if they are for real, they're delusional. If it's a prank, then it's the worst one ever. My name is Dru Cooper, I've been a fighter my whole life, and I'm not about to lose everything I have worked for in my life just to have it torn away from me...

SHOOTING YOUR SHOT (#1 in Soccer Club Series)
"Everything happens for a reason" Taking the decision to go alone to my brother's wedding was never a easy decision but I took it, even though I hate how I have to face and answer my clan members. But when an unexpected 6'2, brown hair and hazel eyed person appears in front of me and proceeds to tell me or should I say order me, "You aren't going there alone. I will be your date." His words stun me. I might actually faint. A person or my best friend's brother who I rarely interact with, thanks to his rude nature wants to be my date to my brother's wedding. My author self is quite speechless. This might make a good romance novel, no wait! A good murder novel it is. "Are you dead?" "No, I am stunned. What wrong did I do to receive your fellowship?" He raises his eyebrows and glances at his watch and then glares at me like I dared waste his time by asking him questions. Then so be it. I hope whatever games my life is playing right now, I hope they make me win or keep both of us alive. Because I don't know how long will I survive without killing this 6'2 grumpy ass or how long will he survive without killing me. God, help me!Concluída
Bound by lies
ROCCO I don't have time for Russians. Or love. All I care about is revenge-cold, calculated, and personal. I've built my empire on blood, silence, and fear. My enemies know not to cross me. And then she shows up. Rosabelle. Too pretty for her own good. Too naive to be in my world. Too soft for a man like me.. And now she's mine-whether she knows it or not. I told myself I didn't have time for love. But love isn't what this is. This is obsession. This is possession. This is her signing a deal with the devil-and that devil is me. ROSABELLE I love hacking. The thrill. The control.. But my father? He hates it. He wants me quiet and far away from trouble. Then Rocco walks in-cold, dangerous, and terrifyingly gorgeous. The future Don of the Italian mafia. And he offers me a job. Hack for him. Work for the mafia. Leave everything behind-my family, my name, my life. I should've said no. I should've run. But something in his eyes makes me stay. Now I'm tangled in a world of violence, secrets, and temptation. And the most dangerous part isn't the job... It's him. VALENTINA Being the middle child sucks. Forgotten. Overlooked. Never enough. I don't get choices. Not when my life has been one long punishment. Not when I'm the reason my parents are dead. And no one knows the truth-except me. Now, I'm being dragged into a marriage I never wanted, To the last person I'd ever choose. It's political. Strategic. I'm just a pawn in someone else's game. But I'm done being quiet. I've spent my whole life carrying guilt. Now I carry a knife in my boot and secrets in my smile. Because if I have to marry a monster- Then I'll become one too. JAX I should've stopped it. Should've said no. But I didn't. Because the truth is-I never say no to power. And this deal? It's everything I've ever wanted. Power. Money. Legacy. And a pretty girl wrapped in silk and secrets.. And once she's mine, I'm not letting her go. Not even if I have to burn the world to keep her

Forced love
ARRANGED MARRIAGE "I will not marry anyone. I don't care if it's for alliance, because we both know we don't need it!" I hissed back. Our mafia was one of the most feared, if not the most. No one dared touch us, so why marry a man who cannot give us anything. Before I got to speak up again my father slapped me right across the face. I gasped and put a hand to my cheek. My mouth stayed shut and I sat down in silence. Neither my mother or my brother did or said anything. I wouldn't except them to, since they never did. "I am your father and you will show me respect!" He demanded and sat back down. My cheek ached and I knew it would leave a mark. One I would have to cover up later. "But father, if you just tell me why," I tried and he cut me off again by picking up a fork and throwing it in my direction. He missed by a few inches only. My mother stared blankly down at her plate, not wanting to show my father a reaction. "Do not question me Katherine. You're leaving tomorrow" He said at last. ----------- What happens when the stubborn and independent Katherine Lopez is forced into marriage? Was it all for alliance between two mafias like her father said? And how far will she go to break the arrangement before the wedding date? Will she kill to get what she wants? Read the story to find out;)Concluída
