'Two families. One war. And a love caught in the crossfire.'

Once bound by loyalty and bloodshed, the DeLuca and Moretti mafia families ruled the city from the shadows side by side, until a betrayal shattered their alliance. A single act of violence twisted friendship into enmity, and in the fallout, their children: Adriana DeLuca and Luca Moretti were torn apart. Raised on hate and vengeance, Adriana and Luca grew up believing the other was their enemy. Childhood memories blurred into propaganda, affection hardened into disdain. But fate has a twisted sense of humour.

Years later, a chance encounter rekindles something both familiar and dangerous. Neither can deny the pull between them or the truth that maybe, just maybe, the hate they were taught was built on lies. As secrets unravel and family loyalties are tested, Adriana and Luca must choose: uphold the legacy of blood, or fight for a love that could destroy everything. In a world where loyalty is life and betrayal is death, what chance does love have?

Dark Devotion by Bakugou101716
20 parts Complete Mature
When duty and desire collide, love may be the only thing that can save them. Isabella DeLuca is a woman who knows her place in the ruthless world of crime and loyalty. As the sharp-minded daughter of one of New York's most feared mafia bosses, she's been groomed for strength and independence, forced to carry her family's legacy while suppressing her own dreams. But when her family's empire faces ruin, Isabella is given a choice: sacrifice her freedom in an arranged marriage to save them, or risk everything for the forbidden. Luca Marino is a force of quiet strength and lethal charisma, an enigmatic leader who prefers peace to violence in a world that respects only power. The Marino family's heir and Isabella's longtime rival, Luca isn't the typical mafia boss-he's thoughtful, fiercely loyal, and painfully aware of the darkness lurking in his past. When he meets Isabella at a lavish gala, sparks fly, and an idea takes root: perhaps an alliance between them could protect both their families...if they can resist their dangerous attraction. But in the brutal underworld they inhabit, nothing is ever simple. As rivals close in and family loyalties are tested, Isabella and Luca's partnership turns into something much deeper and more perilous than either anticipated. Caught between love and duty, they'll have to risk it all-facing betrayal, deception, and deadly secrets-to forge a future on their own terms. Dark Devotion is a passionate, heart-pounding tale of forbidden romance, family loyalty, and two powerful souls who must decide: stay in the shadows, or blaze a new path together.

47 parts Ongoing Mature
Octavia Moretti has spent her life in the shadows of the mafia world. Silent, calculating, and untouchable. But when an assassination attempt leaves her father on his deathbed, she's forced into an arranged marriage with their family's greatest enemy: Luca Barone. Luca is ruthless, feared, and utterly merciless. He never wanted a wife, let alone her; the woman who hates him for her brother's death. But their marriage isn't about love; it's about power. A fragile truce to unite two warring families against a traitor in their ranks. Octavia refuses to be a pawn, and Luca refuses to be distracted. But when she's ambushed and left for dead, everything changes. Luca finds her bleeding out, barely alive; and something inside him snaps. Nobody touches what's his. From that moment, Luca is obsessed with protecting her, his need to hunt down the men who hurt her becoming a brutal, unforgiving mission. He doesn't go into hiding; he makes them run. While Octavia struggles against his control, Luca wages war in her name, carving a path of vengeance through the underworld. But Octavia is no damsel in distress. She won't be locked away, won't be controlled, and certainly won't let Luca fight her battles alone. As their forced proximity turns to something more dangerous; a desire neither of them can fight; the lines between hate and obsession blur. Loyalty will be tested. Betrayal is inevitable. And when the truth about who ordered the hit comes to light, it won't just break their fragile alliance; it will force them to decide if protecting each other is worth setting the world on fire.

But something begins to shift. Adrian starts to see the innocence in her eyes, the kindness in her broken smile-and guilt claws at his soul.

Little does she know, Luca is not a stranger to this turn of events. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Where do you think you're going, Elena?" His voice was low and menacing, sending shivers down her spine. "I... I just needed some air," she stammered, taking a step back. But there was no escape; Luca's presence filled the room, leaving no corner untouched by his dominance. Luca's hand shot out, gripping her wrist with a possessive strength that bordered on painful. "You belong to me now," he hissed, pulling her closer. "There is no running, no hiding. You are mine, Elena. From the moment I saw you, you were destined to be mine." Tears welled up in her eyes, a mix of fear and a strange, undeniable attraction. "But I didn't choose this. I didn't choose you," she whispered, her voice trembling. Luca's expression softened for a fleeting moment, a glimpse of vulnerability behind his hardened exterior. "Perhaps not," he admitted, his grip loosening slightly. "But I chose you. And I will protect you, no matter the cost."
