Eli never believed monsters could fall in love-until he was stolen by one.

Alejandro Ramírez, the ruthless mafia king, doesn't just want Eli's heart-he wants his soul, his body, his every breath. To Alejandro, Eli isn't a prisoner... he's an obsession, a treasure to worship and to break.

But when obsession turns into something darker-pregnancy, secrets, and scars that run deeper than skin-Eli learns that chains aren't always made of steel. Sometimes, they're made of devotion too heavy to escape.

Torn between fear and fragile love, Eli must decide:
Is Alejandro his captor... or the only man who will ever fight to keep him alive?All Rights Reserved

**** Aviva's life was ordinary-until the night a stranger hijacked her car and ordered her to drive off a cliff.

Strong-willed, brutal, and unyielding, he is no ordinary fugitive. A proud leader with enemies lurking in every shadow, he never expected to be kidnapped, much less alongside a stranger. Now, their survival depends on one thing-trust. In a world ruled by lies, bullets, and blood, Aviva must fight to stay alive. But with danger closing in from all sides, one question remains: how do you escape a world you were never meant to survive?

Mine to Keep by kstac90

Twisted Desire I 18+ I ☑️ Completed by Hsowhebdndkdjs

Disclaimer This isn't your standard dark romance. No forced marriage. No Italian or Russian sounding names. No instant love. No twenty-something virgin waiting to be "corrupted." And it contains an actual story line, that makes it interesting to read, with plot twists and turns. I can't stand "dark" male characters who are just shallow and arrogant with a leather jacket, so mine isn't. When he gets dark, it's genuinely unsettling, not sexy cosplay. A real redemption arc actually requires something worth redeeming, and this story doesn't shy away from that. I want you torn between wanting to kiss him or wanting to call the authorities. Dan is complicated, not because he recites cringy lines about his "darkness," but because he's built from more than clichés. If you roll your eyes every time a brooding man whispers "Can you handle all my demons?" and if you are looking for a storyline that it's more than girls meet boy - kidnap - love then welcome. You're in the right place. Now on the book: Dan is a ruthless mafia boss. Lilly is a kind strong girl who found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time. After she witnessed too much he decides to kidnap her. What begins as a game of power and punishment quickly spirals into obsession, blurring the line between desire and control. As secrets, betrayals, and other forces close in, captor and captive must confront a chilling question: is it love or just some kind of twisted desire?

Kitten by MicStories

"Oh sweet little kitten, don't cry. Let me wipe away those tears from your beautiful eyes. Tell me what's made you sad. I shall kill whoever it is who've hurt you Kitten". I hated his little pet name for me, but then why did my heart skip a beat every time I heard it. Why did my body react and want to be claimed every time he whispered it so softly. He knew full well the effect he had on me and I hated the fact that I had no control over it. Lily thought she had it all. A loving family, a good job and an adoring husband. But she couldn't be further from the truth. What Lily isn't aware of is the past her parents left behind. Her father, James Richardson the notorious ex mafia boss and his wife by force Isabella Richardson. She has no idea of the lies her parents are hiding from her. But soon enough, the truth always comes out. "You tried to run from your past. Foolish of you for thinking everything would fall back into place. But never mind, because it won't be you suffering the consequences".
