Some people are impossible to save.
Kael Asher Marwood is one of them. Controlled. Dangerous. Untouchable.
Isolde Marisol Santoro is a trauma therapist with a fire in her blood and the courage to see what others cannot. A single mother who has the heart of a lion and the will of a gazette.
Assigned to Kael after a violent accident, she expects high pressure, not the quiet intensity of a man whose secrets could destroy her.
In the sterile halls of the trauma wing, their worlds collide. Every glance, every silence, every subtle gesture pulls her closer. But some truths are far too dangerous to uncover - and some desires are impossible to resist.
How do you save someone who doesn't want to be saved... without losing yourself in the process?
But some people refuse to be saved... until someone dares to try.

HIS SILENCE and HER FLAME - sequel
SEQUEL TO THE PRISONER AND THE THERAPIST She once walked into a prison by choice. Not as an inmate - but as a therapist. Professional. Naive. Stepping far too close to something she should've never touched. Kael. No one said his name. Not the guards. Not the other inmates. He was silence and threat in one - a man who challenged the system without a word, carrying his past like a second skin: heavy, sharp, and soaked in blood. And still... he looked at her. As if he saw something in her he'd lost within himself. What began as sessions layered in tension slowly unraveled into nights thick with unspoken longing. A forbidden connection, blooming beneath the surface of who they were supposed to be. When he was released, she believed life could start again. That their love - raw, rare, inevitable - could finally breathe in the daylight. But Kael hadn't told her everything. Not about Italy. Not about the past that never really stayed buried. And definitely not about the Russian mafia now out for blood. Because of him. And now - because of her. One date. One kiss. One confession. That's all it took for everything to fall apart. He's the man who would burn it all down to keep her safe. She's the woman who dares to feel, even when it hurts. Together, they are unstoppable. More tension. More love. More danger. This isn't a story about surviving. It's a story about choosing - again and again. Each other.Complete

Blood And Obsession
Kingdom of Vices • Book 1 Mafia Romance | Enemies to Lovers | Dark Obsession | Forced Proximity He owns the city. But he wants to own her heart-and her soul. Valerio De Moretti - 32, ruthless Italian mafia king, billionaire, dangerously charming. He doesn't just want Ariadne-he needs her. His obsession runs deep, his love is destructive, and he's not afraid to break her world to have her. Ariadne Castell- 26, bold art curator with a haunted past. She doesn't scare easy, doesn't trust men, and definitely won't surrender her heart to a mafia king. But when danger closes in, she'll have to decide: run from him... or run to him. "You hate me." His voice was a rasp of smoke and gunpowder. He stood above me like a god carved in war-blood on his shirt, madness in his eyes. I was shaking. I wanted to run. But my body? It was already betraying me. I spat the words like they were venom. "You ruined my life." He knelt before me slowly, like a lion lowering itself before the kill. "I didn't ruin your life, Ariadne." His fingers brushed the side of my face, tender, reverent, like he was touching something fragile. "I became it."
The Traitor's Wife
My grief is a lie. His guilt a weapon. And remembering will destroy whoever I used to love. Maybe this was it. Maybe she had already crossed the line between the living and the lost. The thought of reuniting with Alexei, of seeing him again, wherever he was, felt less terrifying than stepping through that door to meet his killer. Death, at least, would have been merciful. Forget everything you think you know about mafia romance. This isn't a story about an innocent girl stumbling into a dangerous world. Claire lived in that world, she just can't remember how... or what it cost her. A love story where the deepest betrayal may be the one you inflict on yourself. Fair warning: this book will break you, reshape you, and leave you desperate for answers you're too afraid to face. ⚠️ Content Disclaimer ⚠️ This work contains mature themes and potentially triggering content, including but not limited to: violence, death, emotional abuse, manipulation, trauma, sexual tension, and morally complex relationships.

She was promised safety. She found the devil instead. Isadora Bellanti never wanted to be a Moretti bride. But when her father strikes a deal with Dante Moretti- the cold, untouchable heir of Milan's most feared dynasty - she's forced into a marriage that feels more like a sentence than a union. Dante is ruthless. A man whispered about in back alleys and boardrooms alike. To his world, Isadora is just a pawn - something pretty to parade, to keep his enemies guessing. But to Isadora, he's a puzzle she can't stop trying to solve... even as his darkness threatens to consume her. Every promise comes with a cost. Every touch, a warning. And in the Moretti world, love is just another weapon - one that cuts deep enough to ruin them both.
