Arden Vale built her life on one principle: justice is absolute. Every criminal she's put behind bars has only sharpened her reputation - and her sense of control.

Then comes Kellan Drax. Charming, dangerous, and frustratingly impossible to read, he steps into her world like a storm. He challenges everything she believes about law, loyalty, and herself.

As their paths collide, Arden is forced to question who she can trust - and how far she's willing to go when desire and danger intertwine.
Because in a world built on secrets, the truth is the most dangerous weapon of all.

The serpent by Bella-Serpente
18 parts Complete Mature
Genre: Dark Romance • Mafia • Enemies to Lovers • Slow Burn • Psychological Thriller Tone: Moody, intimate, and cinematic - think danger and desire intertwined. Set in Italy's criminal underworld, where every secret costs blood and every touch burns. ⸻ In a city where loyalty is death and love is the ultimate weakness, two killers must decide what they're willing to destroy-and who they're willing to save. She came to end his life. He might be the one to save hers. Setting Modern-day Naples, Italy. The world of The Serpent is drenched in shadows-grand villas on the Amalfi coast hiding brutal empires. The air smells of salt, smoke, and secrets. It's both beautiful and dangerous: marble halls with blood beneath the floorboards. Main Characters: Lilith Haynes - 17. An assassin-for-hire known for her silence and precision. She's covered in tattoos-each one marking a kill or a memory-and bears a scar across her back, a souvenir from escaping her abusive father. Outwardly composed, inwardly fractured, Lilith uses violence as control. She hides a deep capacity for love behind a wall of ice and sarcasm. Her code: Don't get attached. Don't get caught. Don't feel. But Cameron Nikolai will unravel all three. Cameron Nikolai - 18. Mafia don of the Nikolai Syndicate. Of mixed Italian and Russian descent, Cameron is a paradox-brutal and calculating in business, but deeply loyal to those he protects. His empire was built on revenge after his family's slaughter years ago. He's charming, strategic, and dangerous; he laughs easily but trusts no one.
