CHECK YOUR TRIGGERS FIRST!! In which I fall in love with my sister's brother. "I should hate you." He whispers against my lips. "You do." I say and he nods his head "Then why does it feel like I'd burn the world for you." ** Karina Poleman never planned to marry Nicholas De La Noche-her sister's blood brother, her personal nightmare in a designer suit. Cold-blooded, calculating, and devastatingly cruel, Nicholas forced her hand to seal an alliance between cartels. Now, she wears his ring. Sleeps in his bed. And burns every time he looks at her like he owns her soul. She should hate him. She does hate him. But hate tastes a lot like want and lust when the lights go out. There's something in the way he watches her. Like he's waiting for her to run-so he can chase. Like he wants to ruin her just to see what's underneath the ruins. Like he's been bleeding for her long before she ever said I do. Torn between a past soaked in blood and a future built on lies, Karina is pulled into a deadly game of loyalty, lust, and legacy. When Nicholas is poisoned by someone from her past, a league of deadly assassins and illegal chemists-and the list of enemies starts with her name-she must choose: let him die, or face the truth she swore she'd bury. The past comes roaring back-coated in ash and names she swore never to speak. To save him, she'll have to go back to the shadows. To the place she became a ghost. To the truth that might destroy them both. A dark, erotic romance about knives, bloodlines, and the kind of love that feels like war. Intended for a mature audience (18+) only! viewers discretion is highly advised. Started: January 1st 2025 Ended:

However, the sudden loss of his father and the inheritance of the Italian Mafia four months before the deadline, and the sudden suicide of his soon-to-be father-in-law, are not. Alessio has to force his lovely bride's hand, in more ways than one, and somehow keep both of them safe-- despite Leslie's passion to make things more complicated. With danger around every corner and the murder of his father, Alessio must take extreme measures to ensure the safety of those he loves most-- even if it means a punishing hand. Follow these two opposite individuals as they aim to figure out who killed Robert Stone, why Damien Sr committed suicide, and how both of them will need each other to survive the mayhem that ensues.

Crimson Ties
In a world where power is currency and fear is the crown, Luca DeMarco reigns supreme. Cold, ruthless, and unyielding, he's built his empire on the bones of his enemies. When Vincent Carmine's debts come due, Luca claims the only payment worth collecting-his daughter, Isabelle. But Isabelle Carmine is no ordinary mafia princess. Trained in secret since childhood and harbouring dark truths about her family's past, she enters Luca's world not as a victim, but as a force to be reckoned with. Their arranged marriage is meant to be a simple power play, a consolidation of empire through submission. Neither expects the fire that ignites between them-a dangerous attraction that threatens to consume everything in its path. As ancient prophecies surface and old enemies emerge from the shadows, Luca and Isabelle find themselves at the centre of a storm centuries in the making. Their union has awakened something powerful, something that could either save or destroy the underworld as they know it. Their son, Marco, born under a blood moon and marked by destiny, becomes both a blessing and a target. Together with Aurora, a child of shadow and silver, he represents a future that terrifies those clinging to the old ways. From the glittering canals of Venice to the ancient catacombs beneath Rome, "Crimson Ties" weaves a dark and sensual tale of power, prophecy, and the kind of love that transforms enemies into allies and arrangements into destiny. In this dangerous game of loyalty and betrayal, Luca and Isabelle must decide what matters more-the empire they're building or the legacy they'll leave behind. Because in their world, even love comes with a price, and some ties are meant to bind forever. A story of passion, power, and prophecy, "Crimson Ties" reimagines the mafia romance genre with a supernatural twist, proving that the greatest revolution isn't in the streets or the boardrooms, but in the heart.Complete
