She spent her whole life being told she was nothing.
Unwanted. Unloved. Invisible.
Until the night she ran-straight into the mansion of Dmitri Volkov.
Cold, ruthless, and powerful, Dmitri trusts no one but the uncle who raised him.
Especially not a trembling girl who shows up on his doorstep in the middle of the night.
He sees danger in her wide eyes and soft lips.
She sees safety in the storm of his arms.
She is poor, broken, and full of secrets.
He is rich, brutal, and carries scars of his own.
She falls first.
But when he finally falls... he falls harder.
And Dmitri Volkov does not love gently-he loves like a man who will burn the world for what's his.

Kisses with a Psycho
*A Dark Mafia Romance* She was never supposed to meet him. He was never supposed to want her. Sixteen-year-old Anastasia Volkov lives in the shadows of London, adopted by a family that barely knows her name. Haunted by a forgotten past in Russia and trapped in a life that doesn't feel like hers, she's quiet, observant-and invisible. Until Dante Bellini sees her. He's the ruthless king of the Italian underworld, cold-blooded and feared from Sicily to the Thames. A man who doesn't ask. He takes. But something about her silence draws him in. Something about her eyes makes him hesitate. She's too young. Too innocent. Too perfect to touch. But he's already touched. In all the wrong places. And when a secret from her past makes her a pawn in a deadly game, Dante must decide: Will he let her go? Or will he burn the world to keep her? **Danger is seductive. Love is fatal. And some kisses... don't come with a warning.**
The Mercenary's Maid
She feared him more than anything-until he became the only place she felt safe. After escaping years of abuse, Lina found a fragile kind of peace scrubbing floors in a mercenary's mansion. Quiet, invisible, and broken, she kept her head down and her voice lower. Especially around him. Killian. He kills for a living. He is a powerful, cold-blooded mercenary, a wealthy man who built his empire off blood, fear. He owns a powerful private military company that operates in the shadows, answering only to the highest bidders. He commands killers, closes deals, and never makes mistakes. Until her. A glance. A flinch. A wound she tried to hide. And suddenly, he was watching her closely. Quietly. Like she was a puzzle he didn't mean to touch... but couldn't stop obsessing over. Killian: "You blush like that again, and I swear I'll pin you against this wall just to see how deep it goes." He didn't know how to be soft. She didn't know how to be wanted. But in a house full of violence, he saw her. And he started to change. And soon, she was everywhere in his mind.
The Way He Saw Her
He wasn't supposed to see her again. Not after everything burned to ashes, not after he buried that part of his life deep beneath Moscow's frozen silence. But one glimpse-just one-through the blur of city traffic, and she was there. Her face, a memory he never managed to forget. Her eyes, the ghost that still kept him awake. For years, he's watched her from afar-quietly, carefully, dangerously. Not out of love. Not entirely. Because sometimes obsession doesn't start with desire-it starts with a memory that refuses to fade. And now that he's back... she's about to learn that some ghosts never stop following you. He's the kind of man you notice twice - once because you feel his presence before you see him, and again because you wish you hadn't. Born in Russia, the heir of the Morozov legacy. Mikhail Morozov, raised in silence and scars, he learned early that the world doesn't reward softness. He speaks little, but when he does, his words cut clean - precise, deliberate, dangerous. He moves like someone who's always calculating, never surprised. The kind of man whose calmness makes you uneasy. There's something about him that doesn't belong anywhere - not in the light, not in love, not even in the life he's trying to rebuild. But the moment he saw her again, everything he had buried began to surface. The danger, the desire, the memories - all of it. Now, he's not chasing her. He's remembering her... and that might be even worse.

Sweet Riddle
In our world, emotions are a weakness. A liability. A mistake. I learned that lesson young, watching my father rule with an iron fist, his heart nothing more than a rumor. I swore I'd never fall into the same trap-never let a woman tear me apart. And yet, here I am, standing at the altar, binding myself to a woman I barely know. A woman who despises me as much as I refuse to care for her. A contract. A deal. A promise sealed in blood. She is Katya Salifov-fierce, beautiful, and the daughter of my family's sworn enemy. And I am Ivan Yozhikov-heir to an empire built on violence, betrayal, and fear. This marriage isn't about love. It's about power. Control. Survival. But no matter how much I lock my heart away, something about her chips at the ice in my veins. A fire in her eyes that tempts me to break my own rules. And in this life, temptation is just another word for destruction. Welcome to our world. Where vows are made in blood, love is a dangerous game, and betrayal is the only truth.Completa
