In the shadows of Houston's glittering skyline, Luciano "Luxe" Moretti rules like a quiet storm. Rich, untouchable, and feared, he inherited his family's criminal empire and turned it into a kingdom. Nightclubs, ports, money, power-he owns it all. People bow when he walks in a room. They worship his name, whisper his reputation, and avoid his gaze.
But all that money can't fix the one thing he refuses to admit-
he's lonely at the top... and he doesn't trust love.
On the other side of the city, Trevor "Trey" Monroe is just trying to survive. No degree, no savings, no safety net. Just a busted car, a loud mouth, and a string of bad decisions wrapped in good intentions. To most people, he's "broke trash"-the kind of man security drags out of places Luxe owns.
One bad night, one wrong corner, and one almost-fatal moment throws them together.
Luciano sees Trey at his lowest and expects him to beg.
Trey sees Luciano at his coldest and refuses to flinch.
What starts as a dangerous fascination turns into late-night arguments, stolen glances, and a heat neither of them can shake. Luxe wants to control him. Trey refuses to be owned. Their worlds don't just clash-they explode.
In a city where loyalty can get you killed and love is a liability,
a mafia king and a nobody from the gutter learn that the most dangerous thing of all...
is needing someone enough to let them in.
Power, pride, obsession, and forbidden desire collide in a love story that's anything but clean, anything but safe-
and absolutely impossible to walk away from.

His Stepfather, Dearest | MxM
"You're obsessed." As was I; I chuckle, grabbing his wrist as I yank it off of me. Only for him to grab it again and I don't fight it. "Don't act like you're not." To be honest...I liked this. I was obsessed with him too, no matter how wrong this was. ^** He stole everything from him. Desmond was the son to a broken-hearted aristocrat, who towards the end of her life, fell in love with playboy, Fabien De Niro. No one in his family knew of their relationship until they married, and a couple days after their honeymoon, his mother passes away. But worst of all, they learn she gave the entire family fortune and estate to Fabien out of "finding true love once again", despite having a son. She gave everything...to his new stepfather. The man he met once in a club...and where immense attraction burned between them beyond their greatest comprehensions. Desmond, despite his mother's dying wish, refuses to accept such a thing. He could not live with the thought that a playboy manipulated his own mother into giving him everything dear to her. Even if he was, in fact, just as obsessed with his as Fabien was with him. Because of such a thing, he takes it upon himself to do anything in his power to get his fortune and estate back- not just for him, but his younger sisters too. Anything...even if that means seducing and winning the heart of the playboy who seduced his mother at her worst. Having to fight the demons of desire and want for Fabien, or doing the right thing...?
Crimson Vows
Lila Burns knows pain too well. Fighting a rare blood disease has taught her strength, but it couldn't prepare her for the day her fiancé walked away-unable to love her through the weight of her illness. Left with nothing but her fragile body and a heart stitched together by survival, Lila stops believing in promises. Until fate collides her path with his. One moment outside the hospital changes everything. A man cloaked in shadows and quiet command brushes past her, his presence stealing her breath. When his bouquet slips from his hand, Lila bends to gather it, only to be halted by the deep, velvety tone of his voice. He picks them up himself, plucks a single flower, and presses it into her palm-a gesture so intimate, so startling, it leaves her trembling. He walks away without another word, flanked by two men dressed in black, luxury and danger woven into every detail of their presence. But Lila cannot forget the look in his eyes, the unspoken promise in the way he touched her hand. Soon, she learns who he is-the ruthless owner of a criminal empire, a man both worshiped and feared in the underworld. Dark. Possessive. Untouchable. A man who has no business noticing her... yet does. Drawn to him against her better judgment, Lila is pulled into a world of whispered threats, dangerous power, and desire that feels as lethal as it does undeniable. In his arms, she is cherished in ways she never believed possible-but in his world, love can be the most dangerous weapon of all. --- Would you like me to turn this into a **back cover blurb style** (short, punchy, and marketable) or keep it more **novel-synopsis style** (lush, longer, and cinematic)?

Joni, a young homeless omega, has to steal in order to survive, but one heist gone wrong turns his friends against him, and only the mafia - and a certain kind alpha - can keep him safe. ***** An omega thief gets thrown out of his clan of criminals after he refuses to save his leader from a debt he can't pay. Joined by his best friend, these two homeless omegas are trying to stay safe in a dangerous city where the army fights ruthless criminals who hate omegas, but the best way to survive is to find any decent alphas to take care of them, even if they're not true mates. And the best place to find good alphas is the local mafia. But stepping into the mafia life comes with its own dangers, and their former clan certainly hates seeing them climbing up the lawless social ladder when they were supposed to fail as outcasts, so their hardships are far from over. At least there's a young alpha, not the prince charming our little thief thought he'd find, but he's kind of cute, and has kind eyes, so he decides to give him a chance. Maybe it doesn't always have to be about love at first sight. Maybe love can bloom where you least expect it - if you give it an opportunity to grow.Complete
