Eleanor Vale thought she was just a maid.
A job. A roof over her head. A chance to start over.
But the moment she stepped through the iron gates of the Deveraux Manor, she knew nothing here was ordinary. The shadows whispered. The walls breathed secrets. And at the heart of it all was him-Lucian Deveraux.
Cold. Sharp. Untouchable.
To the world, he is the perfect aristocrat.
In truth, he is the Don of the Cosa Nostra, ruler of an empire built on fear and blood.
He warned her to stay away.
She told herself she would.
But fate has other plans. Because when the crescent's light is eclipsed by shadow, two souls collide-and the world will never be the same.
A gothic mafia romance of forbidden love, family secrets, and a bond strong enough to defy the darkness.

I Got Stuck in a Forbidden Romance as the Villainess(EDITING)
Isha Smith was just an ordinary book addict with a dangerous weakness for forbidden romance... until her favourite novel literally swallowed her whole. Now she's trapped in the body of Valeria Duclair-the breathtaking, powerful, and utterly doomed villainess destined to die at the hands of the man she chased so desperately. Armed with nothing but razor-sharp sarcasm, a encyclopedic knowledge of every overused romance cliché, and a fierce determination to live, Isha is ready to rewrite the entire tragic script. No more scheming. No more pearl-clutching jealousy. And definitely no dying for a man who never loved her. But rewriting fate isn't easy when the engagement to the cold, dangerously handsome Vincent Veyrault is already looming, Seraphina's infuriating angel-face innocence is stealing every spotlight, and two obsessively possessive brothers are circling like sharks who smell blood in the water. Can a sarcastic bookworm survive the deadly plot that killed the original villainess... or will she end up just as dead as the rumours promised? One thing's for certain: this time, the villainess refuses to play by the book.
