When Shadows Meet. by YourfavLisa_

I thought escaping my past meant finally being free. I was wrong. After running away from her abusive father, Aria Vale starts a new life in New York City with nothing but her savings, a tiny apartment, and a job at a quiet little coffee shop. Just when life starts to feel normal again-and a new friendship begins to blossom-everything changes in a single night. On her way home, Aria witnesses something she was never meant to see: a brutal alleyway beating carried out by Luca russo, a cold, calculating mafia boss feared across the city. Their eyes meet. And in that moment, everything spirals. Now, she's a loose end he can't afford to ignore-and she's about to discover that in Luca's world, no one escapes the shadows untouched. Love. Danger. Secrets. Some encounters are written in fate. Others... are written in blood.

Marked by Desire by Jalikatu3

Dante is a man who lives for the night-hookups, no feelings, no attachments. Until Serena storms into his world-a fierce, dominant woman who claims him like a prize. She's possessive, unapologetic, and used to being in control. But when she falls for the notorious player, their fiery game of power and desire spirals into something neither expected. In a world where love means possession and passion demands dominance, who will control the other-and who will finally surrender? Warning: Dark romance with intense possessiveness, power struggles, and a love that burns too hot to tame.

"𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐨𝐲." ~ Marriage was never for love-it was for legacy. A strategy. A performance. And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "OMYGOSH. This book was immaculate. I could NOT put it down at all. Every chapter was AMAZING, the writing is shakespears work and each chapter made me laugh, smile, cry so much and this whole thing was a rollercoaster of emotions." -@Sunfloweraate8

lei sarà mia (she will be mine) by stunna_syddd

In the shadowed streets of Naples, Dante Moretti reigns as the ruthless leader of Italy's most feared mafia. Men bow to him. Enemies fear him. Women dream of him. But the only woman he wants is the one who refuses to kneel. Fia is fire wrapped in silk-too stubborn to be tamed, too tempting to ignore. From the moment Dante locks eyes on her, she becomes his obsession... a prize he'll claim with a patience that wears thinner by the hour. Fia feels the pull she swore she'd resist-the dark magnetism in his voice, the dangerous promises in his touch. She craves him as much as she loves to provoke him, testing how far the mafia king will go to have her. Their attraction is a slow-burn inferno-possessive stares, stolen touches, and a tension that scorches the air between them. And when Dante finally decides to stop playing games, Fia will find out what it means to be hunted... and claimed.

DANGEROUS DEVOTION by Eliana_Stories

Aria has sworn off love after her last relationship nearly destroyed her, but Dante's patient pursuit slowly cracks the walls around her heart. As passion ignites between hunter and prey, Dante faces an impossible choice: complete his mission and lose the only woman who's ever made him feel alive, or betray the family that gave him everything and risk both their lives. But in the Romano family, betrayal has consequences. When Valentina Romano discovers her boyfriend's true feelings for his target, jealousy turns deadly. Now Dante and Aria are running for their lives with nowhere to hide and no one to trust-not even each other. Some secrets are worth killing for. Some love is worth dying for.

#𝟒 ▪ 𝐆𝐮𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐬. ❝I hate you,❞ I hissed, pushing him away to create some desperately needed distance between us. He smirked and my breath hitched when his blue eyes twinkled with wild delight. Damn it. ❝Didn't you know, sweetheart?❞ He chuckled, huskily, and my body shuddered at how delicious it sounded. ❝Hate is just the beginning of a love story.❞ * Aria Moretti is a powerful woman. Born into the mafia and raised as an assassin, she is everyone's deepest desire and darkest nightmare. But with the world corrupted by monsters, Aria has plans to change the game... and she intends on leaving a trail of blood in her wake. However, there is one person who could ruin it all, the person who despises her the most: Nero Russo. Charismatic, gorgeous, and the reigning Don of the Italian mafia, he is notoriously known for getting what he wants, when he wants it. And with Aria back in town, Nero has his sights set on her. But lines begin to blur and boundaries are crossed; betrayal almost looks like loyalty and, as the saying goes, hate is just the beginning of a love story. Billionaire's Attraction is a second chance, enemies-to-lovers, mafia romance, and a standalone in the Guns and Roses Series.
