action bookstore darkromance drama english mafia romance

Lexi Young had always believed that stories saved people.
They had saved her when her mother died, two years of grief softened only by dusty pages and the smell of old paper inside Young & Co. Books, the shop she inherited at twenty.

The bookstore sat in the southern quarter of the city, mafia territory. Lexi knew that. She just never cared. Until the mafia decided they cared about her.

Obsession. by jezxzica

If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a LOT better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile. He moves his face closer to mine, losing the lighthearted grin that had previously cooled my nerves. I get a better look at the scar across the bridge of his nose, and the vague one X'ed onto his lips. Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully! List of specific warnings can be found in the introduction. The writing gets better as the story progresses, I promise.

His Girl by seperdre

Velvet & Vengeance by adalynee_

Lena Morrow thought the worst thing about working nights in a city that never sleeps was the loneliness. That is, until she realizes someone's been watching her-someone patient, quiet, and deadly. When a stranger saves her from a contract hit and drags her into a web of secrets, she learns her missing brother was never just a ghost from her past-he was part of something bigger. Something ruthless. Cassian Vale doesn't do attachments. As the underworld's most efficient assassin, his rules are simple: no names, no mercy, no survivors. But Lena Morrow breaks every one of them. Protecting her means betraying the empire that built him, and once he's tasted her defiance, he can't let her go-no matter how much blood it costs. As bullets fly and alliances crumble, their story becomes one of survival, obsession, and a love sharp enough to cut. In a city of smoke and sin, they'll have to decide whether to save each other... or destroy everything in the name of it.

Lexi has two options; stand her ground against her abusive ex and brother, or leave to protect those she has grown to care for.

His Mafia Queen|✔️ by iamahatlover

[COMPLETED] |Disclaimer| *This book is gonna be more romance than mafia *Contains smut/sexual scenes *If any translations are wrong, don't hesitate to let me know. I don't speak the language. *** Finding out the day before annual mafia ball, Liliana knows she has to leave. Or at least try to... Liliana Romano, a 17 year old woman, is thrown into a marriage with Sebastian Di Salvo, a man who only wants to marry her because she's a pawn in his little game. Sebastian Di Salvo, a 20 year old man, thought that this marriage would be easy and she'd be like all the other women, quiet and obedient, but who knew he'd be in for a hell of a ride! *** "Put the gun down," Sebastian said calmly as he stood in front of me, still in his wedding suit. "Fuck you!," I hissed out as I bunched my wedding dress in my hand, making sure to keep the gun pointed at him. "You've barely been here for an hour and you're already pissing me off," he said, starting to get frustrated. Suddenly, I pressed down on the trigger. I watched as the bullet flew past his head, just skimming his ear, exactly how I had expected it to. He didn't flinch. My eyes moved up to meet his. His chest heaved up and down as his fists were clenched together. His jaw was locked as he glared at me, clearly with murder on his mind. My murder. Oh shit. *** Deep down, even she knew that the beast was once a human. He knew that his angel had once had her own personal hell. 'Everything means nothing without her.'

You can't help but let a tear to slip down your flush cheek, allowing it to leave a warm traitorous trail down your face that cools and dries upon contact with the air around you.
