elegant moody redemptive

When twenty-one-year-old Sienna Cruz clocks in for another late shift at La Ciel, she expects nothing more than spilled coffee and tired laughter.
What she gets instead is blood on marble floors and a man whose name will rewrite everything she thought she knew about safety, power, and debt.

Lorenzo Moretti isn't supposed to exist in her world - tailored suits, quiet menace, eyes that calculate and forgive nothing. But when Sienna saves his life during a shooting and refuses his money afterward, she becomes the one thing he can't buy.
Drawn into a maze of protection deals, whispered threats, and impossible choices, Sienna must decide whether the "arrangement" that binds them is a cage...or the only way out.All Rights Reserved

The day Aiden's girlfriend, the one lady he loved with all of his heart and more, committed suicide, his life was changed.

Well, if you throw a cigarette on gasoline, you get fire in return.

More Than a Deal by misnaminglove2k20

Sienna Carter had her life planned out-a quiet job as a librarian, a cozy apartment, and a loving boyfriend, Ethan, who talked about marriage and a future filled with stability. She was content, safe, and far removed from the world of crime and violence. But everything shatters when her father-a struggling businessman-falls into massive debt with the Romano crime family. With no way to pay, the debt collectors don't take money; they take loyalty. The solution? A contract marriage between Sienna and the powerful, ruthless mafia boss, Dante Romano. Dante has built his empire on control and strategy. This marriage isn't about love-it's about power, influence, and making sure his enemies know that loyalty to him comes before all else. He expects obedience, not defiance. But Sienna is unlike anyone he's ever met. She refuses to bow to his world, to the dark underbelly of crime she's been forced into. And, most of all, she refuses to forget Ethan-the man she was supposed to spend forever with. At first, Sienna resents Dante, clinging to memories of the life she lost. But as time passes, the lines blur. She starts to see beyond the ruthless exterior-the man who reads poetry in secret, who carries the weight of an empire on his shoulders, and who, despite his power, seems just as trapped as she is. Ethan fights to get her back, but the more she learns about Dante, the harder it becomes to ignore the unexpected pull between them. Is her heart betraying her? Or was love never as simple as she once believed? In a world where love is a liability and loyalty is life or death, Sienna must choose: Hold on to the man who once promised her forever or risk everything for the one she never expected to love.

Path To Restoration (Fighter's Den, #3) by TheFeveredBookaholic

*Warning: LABELLED MATURE. Due to sexual content and graphic language, this book is recommended for readers 17+ in age* *CANNOT be read without reading prior novels in series* Nate Hunter; aspiring boxer, brother to five younger sisters, and...stripper. Yeah, you read that right. After his twin sister went through an abusive relationship, Nate fought to restore her honour by starting a chain of nightclubs that hire and help victimized women get back on their feet. It didn't take long for the stripper industry to deem him a knight in shining armour that beckoned damsels in distress. The damsel in his life? A fierce yet gentle woman who doesn't want his help and is more warrior than damsel. She's determined to keep Nate at arms length and ignore the ridiculously hot chemistry that fizzles between them. Now it's up to Nate to convince the woman of his dreams that fairytales still exist and that he wants nothing more than to be her prince. After all, he knows a thing to or two about putting up a fight. Delilah Stevens; aspiring author, voluntary loner, and...pregnant. Yeah, you read that right. Life has been unstable for Delilah since her father walked out on her when she was six years old. It shouldn't be a surprise that the father of her unborn child walked out on her too. The already shy and reserved girl retreats further into her shell until she is convinced that the real world is nothing like the books she reads and writes. Or is it? Delilah is forced to rethink everything she's ever known about finding "the one" when she is suddenly face-to-face with a man straight out of a romance novel who wants her - bad - and resisting his kind eyes and killer grin is no walk in the park. The question of the hour is whether or not the determined boxer will be another villain in her story or the hero that finally gives her a happily ever after.

And a love that could destroy them both.

The Age Gap Obsession♡>⁠ by Alex_nahh

Maglen Latina is eighteen. Barely an adult-yet her heart is anything but innocent. Ever since Marcus Leo became her stepfather, her world has twisted into a secret storm of hunger, fear, and fascination. Marcus is everything she shouldn't crave: quiet, powerful, impossibly composed. A man twice her age who speaks like he's made of steel, yet looks at her like he's already burning inside. To Maglen, he is more than a father figure. He's her obsession. A haunting presence in her every thought. But she hides it behind silence and fear, terrified that one wrong move will break whatever fragile boundary they pretend exists. What she doesn't know... is that Marcus is just as haunted. Just as twisted. Just as obsessed. But he's spent years perfecting the art of control-until now. He plays the role of protector, of father. But inside, his restraint is bleeding. And the girl he vowed never to touch is the one he can't stop imagining. Two souls drowning in silence. Two obsessions spiraling toward a point of no return. This isn't love. This is compulsion. And when secrets finally break free, someone is going to get hurt.!

Bloom & Blood (Intersex) by Rennie334

In a world where loyalty is currency and power is everything, two women from opposite sides of life collide in a slow-burn love story laced with danger, healing, and passion. Siena Vale is a soft-hearted, resilient young woman trying to rebuild a quiet life after the death of her parents. With her teenage sister Lila depending on her, Siena puts her own dreams on hold, working multiple jobs and living in a cramped apartment with two close friends. Beneath her calm surface is a girl who's been through hell-especially with her ex-boyfriend Ethan, who started sweet but turned abusive and obsessive. Even after she left him, he continues to stalk and torment her, turning her daily life into a nightmare. Everything changes when Siena lands a job as a secretary at a private firm with intimidating luxury and tight security. It's there she meets Kingston "King" Moretti-a dominant, suited mafia stud with sharp eyes, quiet control, and a reputation soaked in blood and respect. Known as "The Stud King" in the underground world, King is a woman who commands fear in every room she enters-fierce, calculated, and unshakable. But beneath her tailored armor is a deeply private soul who's used to protecting everyone but herself. Siena is unlike anyone King has ever encountered-gentle, kind, and utterly unfazed by power. She's not afraid to speak up, even when her voice shakes. Her softness challenges King's cold world. And when King discovers the shadows chasing Siena-an ex who won't let go-her instinct is immediate and fierce: "Nobody hurts what's mine." What starts as protection evolves into something deeper. Sparks fly in the quiet glances, in late-night talks, in the way Siena softens King's hardened edges. But love doesn't come easy in a world like King's. As enemies close in and Ethan grows more dangerous, Siena finds herself caught between the peaceful life she wanted-and the dangerously beautiful woman who makes her feel truly safe for the first time.
