In the glittering jazz clubs and blood-stained alleys of 1950s New York, power has a name, Joseph Genovese. Cold, calculating and untouchable, he rules the city from the shadows... until she walks in.

Naledi Mokoena crossed an ocean to escape apartheid's chains, only to find herself in a world ruled by men more dangerous than laws. Smart and unafraid, she becomes the one woman Joseph can't control, and the one obsession he can't kill.

In a city where love is a weapon and betrayal can cost your life, two souls collide between freedom and possession, desire and destruction.

Burning Ice by girlwithdahood

"Burning Ice" is a sports romance that dives deep into obsession, passion, and the clash of two very different worlds. Billie Carter, 23, has learned to survive on her own terms. After a tough upbringing, she's built a life for herself, working as a dancer to make ends meet. Confident, curvy, and unapologetically herself, she's used to attention-just not from someone like Nate Griffith. A grumpy, ruthless pro hockey player, Nate is a man haunted by his past, and when his teammates drag him to a strip club to get his mind off life, he's not prepared for the fire that is Billie. Their connection is immediate, though neither of them is ready to admit it. As Nate's obsession with Billie grows, he'll do anything to claim her-but Billie's not easy to control. As they navigate the heat between them, both will have to confront their darkest secrets and decide how far they're willing to go for love-and for power. "Burning Ice" is a slow-burn romance that explores the boundaries between desire and control, with a fiery chemistry that ignites when two broken souls collide. **Again, this book is a SLOW burn, it will start out a little slow with the main characters dealing with a lot of complicated emotions and life events. as I'm trying to make the timeline as realistic as possible. Please keep that in mind and enjoy the journey**

And love might just be the most dangerous weapon of all.

Blood & Buttercream by JazzyNewmeWashington

Some stories are carved in violence. Others are frosted in secrets. This one is both. Set against the backdrop of mist-covered hills and shadows that never quite stay buried, Blood & Buttercream is a tale of sharp tongues, forbidden glances, and the kind of love that doesn't ask permission. At its center is a woman who builds beauty from broken things-and a man who's never known softness that didn't come with a warning. There's no safe way to touch power. No clean way to love someone drenched in it. But once fate sets the table, everyone must eat. This isn't just a romance. It's a reckoning wrapped in silk and gunpowder. Welcome to a world where loyalty is sacred, family is everything, and love... love is the most dangerous game of all.
