Luca Romano is a force to be reckoned with - a powerful, wealthy man who commands respect and fear in equal measure. He's ruthless to his enemies, but to those he loves, he's fiercely loyal and protective. And I am his. From the moment I entered his world, I knew I was in deep. I was drawn to his strength, his charisma, and the way he made me feel alive. But there's a dark side to him, a predator that lurks just beneath the surface. It both thrills and terrifies me. As I navigate the dangerous world of Luca's business dealings, I find myself caught in the crosshairs of his enemies. But Luca won't let anyone hurt me. He'll stop at nothing to keep me safe, even if it means putting his own life on the line. But as the stakes get higher and the danger intensifies, I can't help but wonder: can our love survive in a world so full of violence and betrayal? Or will my past and present catch up with us, tearing us apart forever? COVER DONE BY: @typinchaptersComplete

The Lunacy of Tyler Lockhart ✔️
How very noble of you, Mr. Lockhart. I don't need your help. I can do just fine." I retorted. "I'm a lot of things, Victoria." Tyler said leaning against the banister. "But noble is not one of them." "After today, I'm not even going to argue with that fact. They should have named you Lucifer." He smiled, not kindly. "Think of it as a warning from the devil himself. I will not warn you a second time. Throw yourself at me, Vicky, and I'll take what I want." *** Victoria Lane and Tyler Lockhart have been best friends since they were kids, and the two have been through thick and thin together. Tyler is fun, charismatic and makes Victoria weak in the knees. What Tyler doesn't know is that Vicky has been in love with him for a long time. Tyler Lockhart has been hiding some skeletons in his closet, he is a billionaire and comes from an influential family; the Lockharts' have been cursed with a life long of bad omen and while Tyler's mother has tried hard to keep him from showing his true nature to society, sometimes, all it takes is one small mistake. When Vicky finds out the truth, things turn from bad to worse and Tyler is forced to leave town. Vicky's life comes crashing down when Tyler steps foot in town almost ten years later, and he's come back with a motive; to stay and to win Vicky back. *** Cover made using Canva WARNING: Story contains profanity, sexual tensions and abuse.
