Bloom & Blood (Intersex) by Rennie334

In a world where loyalty is currency and power is everything, two women from opposite sides of life collide in a slow-burn love story laced with danger, healing, and passion. Siena Vale is a soft-hearted, resilient young woman trying to rebuild a quiet life after the death of her parents. With her teenage sister Lila depending on her, Siena puts her own dreams on hold, working multiple jobs and living in a cramped apartment with two close friends. Beneath her calm surface is a girl who's been through hell-especially with her ex-boyfriend Ethan, who started sweet but turned abusive and obsessive. Even after she left him, he continues to stalk and torment her, turning her daily life into a nightmare. Everything changes when Siena lands a job as a secretary at a private firm with intimidating luxury and tight security. It's there she meets Kingston "King" Moretti-a dominant, suited mafia stud with sharp eyes, quiet control, and a reputation soaked in blood and respect. Known as "The Stud King" in the underground world, King is a woman who commands fear in every room she enters-fierce, calculated, and unshakable. But beneath her tailored armor is a deeply private soul who's used to protecting everyone but herself. Siena is unlike anyone King has ever encountered-gentle, kind, and utterly unfazed by power. She's not afraid to speak up, even when her voice shakes. Her softness challenges King's cold world. And when King discovers the shadows chasing Siena-an ex who won't let go-her instinct is immediate and fierce: "Nobody hurts what's mine." What starts as protection evolves into something deeper. Sparks fly in the quiet glances, in late-night talks, in the way Siena softens King's hardened edges. But love doesn't come easy in a world like King's. As enemies close in and Ethan grows more dangerous, Siena finds herself caught between the peaceful life she wanted-and the dangerously beautiful woman who makes her feel truly safe for the first time.

Little Miss Hellfire by JTAtlas

Revenge at your service... Angelica Knowles runs Best Served Cold Inc., a sleek, off-the-grid revenge agency for women who've been wronged. Known in feminist circles as Little Miss Hellfire, she's a legend in lipstick--strategist, saboteur, and sarcastic saint. So when freshly fired Claudia Pilgrim-an ex-employee of Slate Capital-shows up with a story of workplace discrimination and a sexist dress code, Angelica sets her sights on the obvious villain: Damian Slate-the infuriatingly gorgeous, devilishly narcissistic CEO with a God complex. Her mission? Infiltrate his company as his new assistant. Unravel his weakness. Destroy him. Simple-until Damian unexpectedly recruits her to pose as his fiancée at his sister's high-profile wedding in Lake Como, hoping to win his father's approval and cement his place as heir. Because nothing says heir apparent like arriving with a woman who looks like she eats billionaires for brunch. Now Angelica's knee-deep in luxury lies, legacy power plays, and dangerously public hand-holding. And the worst part? Damian might not be the heartless villain she expected-he might actually be a person-with depth, feelings, and dimples. What began as sabotage is starting to look suspiciously like chemistry. And with her client's dignity, her agency's future, and her own carefully guarded heart on the line, Angelica must choose: take him down... or risk falling for the man she swore to ruin.

Dangerous Affection by ghosty110

Love was never in Natalia Santos' vocabulary. Scarred inside and out by a childhood of abuse, she's built her life on survival, not trust. The military gave her purpose, but not peace. Civilian life only reminded her that people will always judge the marks on her face, never the strength behind them. When her brother pulls her into the dangerous world of the Moretti crime family, Natalia swears she won't let herself get attached. Especially not to him-Derek Moretti. Cold. Calculated. Powerful. A man who sees everything, and trusts no one. What begins as necessity soon feels like belonging. Yet in the world of power and blood, love is the most dangerous risk of all. And when Natalia starts to realize Derek might be the one man who sees her for who she truly is, she'll have to decide if she can let herself fall... or if love will destroy her the way it destroyed her father. A fierce heroine. A ruthless mafia boss. An enemies-to-lovers story where loyalty is tested, scars become symbols of strength, and love might be the most lethal weapon of all. **I UPDATED WEEKLY!** All rights reserved. Do not copy my work.
