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.

Bloom & Blood (Intersex)
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.Complete

Melancholy
Elena Romano, a fierce and unyielding lawyer, becomes the only person who can keep Tristan Valenti, a notorious and untouchable mafia kingpin, out of prison. But as she's drawn deeper into his dangerous world, she discovers that the battle isn't just about saving him from the law-it's about saving him from himself. Yet in breaking every rule she's sworn to uphold, Elena risks losing more than her morals-she risks losing her heart to the man who might be beyond redemption. Melancholy - a bittersweet ache that lingers in the soul, like the taste of wine that's both bitter and intoxicating. It's the quiet storm of longing and loss, woven with moments of beauty so fleeting they hurt. Just like what Elena and Tristan want-something so consuming, it borders on destruction. Their love is jagged yet tender, a sanctuary wrapped in shadows where passion wars with despair. It's the sharp edges of love, the bruises of trust, and the haunting allure of wanting what might ruin you, yet never being able to let it go.Complete
Blood & Devotion
She knew desperation had a taste. Metallic, bitter-like the blood pooling on cracked concrete, like the whiskey her father now drank in silence, drowning in debts no honest man could repay. Sienna Moretti wasn't an honest woman. She had learned that early, watching the way her father built his empire, brick by brick, favor by favor. She had worshiped him once, the way a daughter should-but devotion meant sacrifice, and she would give whatever was left of herself to save him. Even if it meant stepping into the lion's den. The club smelled of perfume, sweat, and expensive cologne that couldn't mask the violence in the air. She walked past men who could kill with a flick of their wrist, past women who had learned survival was an art. And then she found him. Dante Ricci. The man she had sworn to hate, the man her father would have rather bled dry than asked for help. And yet here she was. As his dark gaze met hers, slow amusement curling at the edges of his lips, she knew she had already lost.Complete
