Guilt and anger taste the same on my tongue. I never know which is meant to be virtuous.

✷ 

After her father's disappearance, cold, clinical and calculating Verity Xie must take up the mantle as the Butcher of West London and become the Vitris crime family's organ harvester. In an effort to assimilate into the family, she is granted a close partnership with diplomatic and intensely private Alexander Vitris, eldest son and heir apparent of Augustine Vitris. 

Granted, taking up her father's mantle comes with inheriting his enemies. The secrets that Verity must keep threaten to unravel the further she falls into business with Alex. Someone close by is determined to cut her from the organisation. A relentless detective has scented her blood trail. And Verity is beginning to suspect that Alex, who seems to be the only person sharing in her darkness, isn't painting her a complete picture. 

Forced to bury more than just the bodies on her operating table, Verity must choose between her ambitions and protecting her remaining family from the repercussions.

LADY SATANS by Vincenzocassano1236

They called themselves Lady Satans-a group of seven women bound by blood, loss, and an unbreakable vow. Their families had vanished without a trace, and with no one willing to help, they had only one option: descend into the dark, ruthless underworld to uncover the truth. But the shadows of the mafia hold secrets far deadlier than they imagined. As they rise through the ranks of crime, Melina, their fearless leader, can't shake the memory of those piercing blue-gold eyes-eyes that watched as her world fell apart. With each step closer to the truth, the stakes grow higher, and the line between ally and enemy blurs. When the Lady Satans cross paths with the revenants , led by the enigmatic Alaric Rune Luciano, alliances are tested, obsessions ignite, and old wounds resurface. But not everyone is who they claim to be. As secrets unravel and betrayals cut deep, Melina must face a chilling revelation: the enemy she seeks may be closer than she ever imagined. In a world of lies, love, and lethal intentions, how far will they go to bring their families back? And who will survive when the truth finally comes to light? Disclaimer.do not copy my book.

The Secret From Within by Veronicasoderstrom

Xavier Blackwood rules the criminal underworld with an iron fist and a heart encased in ice. Feared by rivals, adored by none, and trusted by fewer, he is a man of power, precision, and brutality. The name Blackwood echoes through the underground like a whispered curse-lethal, cold, and untouchable. No one crosses him and lives to tell the tale. Isabella Santino is a ghost in the world of shadows-an assassin whose elegance and silence are as deadly as her blade. With no past, no ties, and no mercy, she's the weapon the highest bidders beg to command but never truly own. Her loyalty belongs to no one, and her secrets are buried deeper than any grave she's ever filled. When Xavier and Isabella's paths collide in the smoke-filled corridors of betrayal, vengeance, and bloodlust, sparks don't just fly-they ignite a war. What begins as a collision of titans becomes a dangerous dance of dominance, secrets, and obsession. But underneath their hardened exteriors, something stirs. Something forbidden. Something human. In a world where love is weakness and trust is a death sentence, "The Secret From Within" dares to ask: what happens when two monsters fall for the very thing they were taught to destroy? Only one truth remains: every secret has its price. And some... are paid in blood.

Thieves of the crown by Chaptermuse_

The kingdom of Orovia bleeds. Every harvest season, the Frost royals send their imperials to strip villages bare. Gold. Crops. Heirlooms. Even lives. Everything claimed in the name of the crown. Alexandra Beaumont has lost enough. When the king opens the army to new recruits, she seizes her chance. Not to serve, but to steal. Beneath the armor of a royal soldier, she hides a secret mission: infiltrate the castle, reclaim what was stolen, and return it to the people who were robbed of everything. But she is not alone. A band of outcasts forms at her side, bound by vengeance and hope. By day, they wear the king's colors. By night, they become shadows on the sea. Pirates who raid treasuries, kingdoms, and crowns themselves. Rebels carving justice out of theft. Yet betrayal stalks the rebellion as closely as the royals do. And when Alexandra's heart tangles with Asher Knight-the general's son, her greatest threat, and her greatest ally-loyalties blur, danger sharpens, and every stolen heartbeat could be her last. In a world where rebellion is treason and love is forbidden, Alexandra must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to take back a kingdom drowning in frost.

Selfish Machines by satellitecall

These teeth won't let you go. ✷ Dutiful. Naive. Spoiled. Gwendolyn Wu, eldest daughter to the ruthless patriarch of the Vermillion Birds Triad, has been sidelined from the family business for the fact that she was not born a son. Not like her brothers, whom her father expects would lead the triad someday. But when her eldest brother, Gideon, is murdered at the hands of vengeful and cruel boy-king Enzo Armati, newly anointed don of the Armati crime family of London, Gwen simply can't sit back and watch. Cold. Calculating. Merciless. Enzo Armati, the sole heir to his father's syndicate empire, is hellbent on revenge. The death of his father bloodies the hands of the Vermillion Birds, and so he must enact vengeance as he sees fit. A son for a father. He takes the Vermillion Birds' eldest heir. But it's not enough to sate the bloodlust, the rage. When the opportunity for the perfect revenge lands right in his lap ─ literally and figuratively ─ in the shape of Gwendolyn Wu, the spoiled and coveted princess of the Vermillion Birds, Enzo seizes it. Kidnapped and imprisoned in an opulent cage of marble and ivory, Gwen knows she's in over her head. Now, she must do the impossible: thaw her captor's frozen heart before he breaks her. But as the days pass, as secrets begin to unravel, as Enzo finds the mirrored glimmer of a dark likeness buried deep in Gwen's soul, as Gwen peels back Enzo's layers and finds inside him the man who could've been, mutual distrust quickly unspools into a mutual obsession. Or, perhaps, mutual possession. Both have teeth in the other. Both refuse to let go. Both refuse to fold first. © raiden ╱ 2025 GLORY & GORE #1 No one in this story is a good person.
