Now bound to a man as dangerous as he is powerful, Isabella is thrown into a world of secrets, violence, and control-where love is a weakness... and trust can get you killed.
But the most dangerous thing of all?
The way Luca is starting to look at her.
As if she belongs to him.

Marked by blood
In the harsh streets of Naples, amidst a cold, rainy night, stands an eight-year-old girl, carrying on her shoulders a past heavier than her years. Marie... a girl who wasn't born an orphan, but fate stole her mother, then her innocence at the hands of a father addicted to alcohol and gambling, before tossing her out of his life like a worn-out piece of cloth. But in a moment of despair and loss, a luxurious black car stopped, and a man named Lorenzo Marini stepped out... a mysterious businessman who lived between the luxury watch trade and, beneath it, the illicit arms trade. He adopted her, hid her from the world, and raised her in the shadows, far from the eyes of his four children... children who had no idea of her existence. Fifteen years later, when he reunites them in the family mansion, he announces his intention to marry. The children prepare to confront the strange woman their father will marry... But the shock lies not in the woman, but in Marie herself. The little girl who has grown into a beautiful young woman holds within her a remarkable power and a secret that could tear the family apart... or bring it back together. But will they fall in love with her? Or into her trap? And does Lorenzo truly want the best for her... or is he manipulating her as part of a game much bigger than love?Complete

Beauty & the Beast ✓
"Who are you?" I asked the figure of which was crouched in the shadows of the tall trees looming above. The figure crawled towards me, never seeming to leave the shadows enough for me to see it. Until it did. I had been able to name out the human form in the near pitch black darkness until I was suddenly lying on the ground with a dirty looking man hovering above me. I gasped in shock at how quickly he had moved us into this position. I could tell that the human figure was male. His bright blue eyes reminded me of the beach vacations that my family and I used to take when I was little. I normally would have screamed at being underneath a man in such a way but oddly I felt safe around him. Under him, I should say. Like in the way that he would never let anything hurt me again. I oddly trusted him and he hadn't even spoken yet. July 16th, 2018 - September 10th, 2018Complete
