He was a lesson in cruelty she never saw coming.

"Scrub every trace of her. A mistake shouldn't leave fingerprints." Smoke curled around her like a dark crown.

Aria Danvers learned early that survival is an art, she mastered it sharp enough to cut the men who underestimate her. She has no power, no protection... yet Matteo Varela can't look away. Heir to a violent empire, he was raised to destroy her bloodline but the girl in front of him isn't just a target. She's a threat. A temptation. A beautiful problem wrapped in fire and stubborn grace.

|   "Not like this, Aria," he growled, his breath a hot brand against her lips as he pinned her wrist to the silk sheets. The city lights bled gold across his furious, perfect face. "Not when you won't remember".

But the line between enemy and obsession shatters the night he confesses the truth. Now, trapped in a gilded cage of his making, Aria faces a choice, let the boy who was supposed to break her become her only protector, or risk everything to burn his world to the ground.

Loving him is a death sentence. But leaving him might just be the trigger that starts a war.

I was supposed to forget him. Just one night. One stupid, reckless, blazing hot night. I didn't even know his last name... But two months later, I'm pregnant with the heir to one of the most dangerous empires in the world. Damien Moretti is lethal, wealthy, and terrifyingly possessive. I built a life without him, poured everything into my boutique, held my head high, and decided I could do this on my own. Until he walked back into my life like a storm- demanding answers, demanding me. And he's not leaving without a fight. Now I'm stuck between a man who terrifies me and a future I never planned for... Because Damien doesn't just want the baby. He wants everything. My body. My heart. My soul. And once a Moretti claims something... He never lets Go His lips were fire-bruising, demanding, desperate as he pressed me back against the boutique's fitting room mirror. One hand gripped my hip like he owned it. The other slid down, low and reverent, stopping right where our child was growing inside me. "Mine," he growled against my skin, his voice ragged and possessive. "This baby... you... all of it. Mine." I should've pushed him away. But instead, I arched into him as his mouth traveled lower, whispering filthy promises over the swell of my barely-there bump before planting a hot kiss there. "You shouldn't be here," I whispered. He looked up at me with eyes that burned emerald. "Sweetheart... I'm never leaving."

Blood Ties & Velvet Lies, de StephaniHill7
50 capítulos Concluída Maduro
She wasn't supposed to see it. One moment of silence in the wrong hallway, and she witnessed a crime her family will never forgive. Now she's a target-hunted by the same blood that should protect her. He is the mafia boss's son. Cold. Untouchable. A man carved from shadows and violence. He's tasked with keeping her safe, but his presence is no rescue-it's a cage. A predator watching his prey. The longer they're trapped together, the more the lines blur. His protection feels like possession. His silence feels like obsession. She can't ignore the truth whispered in his touch: he wants her, even though wanting her could ruin her. He's ready to burn his world to the ground for her. But love in the dark has a price. When survival demands sacrifice, the only way to save them both... is to walk away. A modern dark romance full of dangerous desire, forbidden temptation, and a bittersweet ending that lingers long after the last page.

"Stand up.", he said to me. "What?", I asked confused. "STAND UP.", he ordered slightly aggressive. I quickly got up from the bed and stood in front of him. "Take off your underwear.", he demanded. "Wh-" "Now." Doing what he told me to I slowly slipped my underwear off. I was now completely naked as his eyes roamed over my whole body again. "Lay down on your back." Once again I obeyed him without talking back this time which caused him to smirk. Then he grabbed my hands and cuffed them to the bed frame. My eyes widened and as I was about to ask him what he's doing he held up one of his hands. Understanding his signal I remained silent.
