In a world ruled by power and betrayal, love is the deadliest game. Nikolai Russo is the heir to a ruthless mafia empire, a man feared for his cold heart, lethal skills, and devilish charm. He doesn't believe in love, and marriage is just a means to an end-until a deal forces him to marry his sworn enemy's daughter, the fierce and untouchable Nikita Volkov. Nikita never wanted to be part of this brutal life. After the tragic loss of her brother, she vowed to never trust anyone from the Russo family. But when she discovers she's bound to marry the very man she despises, her world shatters. He's arrogant, dangerous, and undeniably magnetic. She's fierce, unforgiving, and refuses to be anyone's pawn. But when fiery passion collides with hatred, their union ignites in a way neither expected. Secrets are revealed, enemies close in, and the line between love and destruction blurs. In the mafia world, their love is the ultimate sin-and it might just burn them alive.

"The Bride He Couldn't Let Go" by moondarksecreat1

She was just 21-fragile, sick, and silent. An introverted girl with a tired soul and no strength left to fight the world. He was 30-feared, ruthless, and deeply broken. Istanbul's most dangerous mafia don, a man known for his cruelty, his cold blood, and the enemies that hunted his name. He never planned to keep her. One look, and he knew she deserved a gentler world-one without blood on its hands. So he let her go.... thinking it was the kindest thing he'd ever done. But destiny is never that merciful. Because sometimes, no matter how far you run or how cruel the world may seem, **some souls are meant to find their way back to each other.** When he saw her once again -soft, quiet, and unlike everything he had ever known-he couldn't walk away this . So he didn't. Instead, he **forced her family to marry her off to him**, threatening everything they held dear. But she was too ill to fight it. Too weak to stand at the altar. Too unaware to even know her life had changed forever. A love born in shadows. A marriage sealed in silence. And a story that proves even the coldest hearts can burn with love again. ---

Then, his pawn. Now, she's being forced into marriage to protect a company that was never hers, under a man who treats her like a transaction. She doesn't love him. He doesn't want her. But power demands sacrifice. And she has no choice but to wear his ring.

My Brothers' Mafia Best Friend by hardinsfangirl

Avery's senior year is turned upside down when a kiss with her older brothers' best friend ignites a forbidden relationship tangled in danger, heartbreak, and family secrets that could destroy everything. *** "Aiden..." I shake my head, eyes fixed anywhere but the gorgeous man next to me. His hand grips my chin tightly, just enough to make me avert my eyes to his. "You know you want this as much as I fucking do. I want you to be mine. I want to be the one to hold you and kiss you the one you go to whenever you're happy or fucking sad. But let it be me, let me fucking show you that it should be me." He glares, jaw tensing. ...... ©hessaherophinelove

With You by SarraHabboubi

When Nessa joins a covert mafia unit led by a cold, ruthless boss, more monster than man, she steps into a world where trust is earned in blood and secrets run deeper than loyalty.

The Boss: "It's me, Nessa..." It was the first time he'd ever said her name. She froze, looked around the room, bodies everywhere, blood soaking the floor. And then she saw him right in front of her. "He came." She didn't even notice her own blood, the bruises, the pain. Nessa: "You came? Are you out of your mind? You were shot a day ago! I came here for you! And you dare show up like this, with a wo" Before she could finish, he pulled her into his chest. No words. Her eyes widened, and her tears fell. The Boss: "It's okay...

Sweet Riddle by anonymouswriter222

In our world, emotions are a weakness. A liability. A mistake. I learned that lesson young, watching my father rule with an iron fist, his heart nothing more than a rumor. I swore I'd never fall into the same trap-never let a woman tear me apart. And yet, here I am, standing at the altar, binding myself to a woman I barely know. A woman who despises me as much as I refuse to care for her. A contract. A deal. A promise sealed in blood. She is Katya Salifov-fierce, beautiful, and the daughter of my family's sworn enemy. And I am Ivan Yozhikov-heir to an empire built on violence, betrayal, and fear. This marriage isn't about love. It's about power. Control. Survival. But no matter how much I lock my heart away, something about her chips at the ice in my veins. A fire in her eyes that tempts me to break my own rules. And in this life, temptation is just another word for destruction. Welcome to our world. Where vows are made in blood, love is a dangerous game, and betrayal is the only truth.
