"I don't know what to do," I admitted for the first time to both her and myself. "I don't know how to maintain this without fucking something up. I don't know how to keep spending time with you without setting a bad example or slipping up in front of my Family."

Violet sat up and turned to face me. 

"I can't answer that for you," she said with a sad smile. "But I can go. I can make this easier, stay out of your way for a while."

She stood on her knees between my legs, close, but not touching, and watched me with those wide, ocean eyes. I should have told her to go- listened to her suggestion and put some real distance between us. It would have been smarter, safer. But it would feel like cutting off my own hands.

"I don't want that," I murmured, and reached for her waist. 

(excerpt from new version)

---

Vengeance. Vendetta. Violence. These three words are all Violet Harcourt knows. For years, her world has been centered around killing Bill Pfeiffer, the hitman who murdered her father and sister. She's learned the criminal underground inside and out while masquerading as a quiet art student, bringing her closer and closer to her target. Now, it's time to blow her cover, and Bill Pfeiffer's brains out.

Vitale Fierro lives a carefree life at the top of the Salvaggi Mafia. Business has been good, and Chicago isn't a bad place to call home when you're a professional criminal. But when a girl with purple hair murders the Family's prized hitman, he's given the responsibility of what to do with her. To kill, or not to kill seems to be the ultimate question- one he must answer while managing a promotion, taking down a rival Family, and trying not to fall in love.

Alessandra Benedetti, known for her beauty and carefully guarded innocence, is the daughter of the Vincenzo Crime Family's consigliere. Fondly called "Sessie" for her dutiful nature, she's expected to marry Tiziano, the Don's volatile second son - a match she despises. Her silent rebellion leads her into a fleeting romance with a classmate, but when her father uncovers the affair, he enforces her loyalty with brutal consequences. Shattered by her fling's death, Alessandra attempts to flee her restrictive world, only to find that survival is more dangerous outside her family's control, especially in Chicago, where her last name holds weight. Amid her struggle for freedom, she crosses paths with Renzo Santoro in the most mysterious of ways. She saves him from an assassination attempt, risking everything her family has ever taught her, finding herself drawn to his dark charm. Renzo, equally captivated by the mysterious woman who saved him, senses she's hiding something-but not her true identity. He begins to crave her attention, showing up unannounced, wanting her. While Alessandra, discovering the power of defiance, finds herself entranced by the very man she was raised to fear. When he learns about her true identity, he's torn between rage and the undeniable pull he feels toward her. With love in play, forgiveness becomes easy, and his steps to protect what they share put their affair on a dangerous path. Alessandra is willing to risk it all for a taste of true freedom and the thrill Renzo offers. As they spiral into a forbidden affair, Renzo's fascination with her deepens into obsession. He's unwilling to let her slip back to the very people he's set out to destroy. Their relationship evolves into a conflict of interest that soon gives way to darker meanings and emotions. But in a world where revenge and passion cannot coexist, their desire to make it work ignites a war that consumes them both.

𝐕𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐄 𝐋𝐄𝐄 is pretty sure her next-door neighbor is a serial killer. What else could explain his strange antisocial behavior, creepily minimalistic apartment, and that inhumanly emotionless demeanor? Oh, and don't forget the bloodied body parts that have started showing up. It's too bad she's not scared of him. Or his unveiled threats on her life. But an emotionally scarred gangster on the run - riding the brink of insanity and followed by a host of trouble - is a lot more than she could've bargained for. 𝐌𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐎 𝐑𝐎𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐎 is beyond redemption. Capo of the Romano crime family, the sociopathic Prince of Chicago, hell wrapped in a designer suit. He exemplifies cold precision and perfect control. His job has always come easily to him for the very same reason that his name is feared widely: he's incapable of emotion. But something horrifying and sinister is beginning to happen to him. And it turns out that pesky slipping sanity is the least of his concerns. Because his new neighbor is a ray-of-sunshine wildcard dipped in beauty like he's never seen, and she won't leave him alone. Worse, he can't decide if he should kill or protect her. Massimo doesn't count on Vivienne being the first person to look at him like he's human. Or demons from his past coming back to haunt him. Much less a new threat looming on the horizon. Or love. Especially not that. ♛ Deviant Prince is a slow burn, enemies to lovers, dark mafia romance. NOTE: this story gets very dark. Please be sure to check the CW at the beginning. [ Book 2 in the Romano Brotherhood Series | COMPLETED ✔ ]
The Innocent Target by shr_24

Odette Elliot is nothing more than just a regular New Yorker with the most bland life one could ask for. Simple job and a cheap apartment, least expensive clothes and a desire to be left alone entirely. She's never anticipated for more, though her mind desires a ride through the mystery romance novels that keep her company in the nights. What happens when someone has an eye for her that she can't seem to shake off? Vincent Carsozza was hired for one job only and that was to bring the young and pretty Odette Elliot to his employer. The particular case had been peculiar since being a hired hitman had a complete different meaning to his job but his friend's interest leads him to no regret in signing up. Only, she isn't what he expected. She's an innocent. And he doesn't deal the innocents. Things don't seem to be what they did the first night he set eyes on the lamb before she was dragged into a crowd of hyenas. What happens when he decides to change the deal and save Odette Elliot from this nightmare once and for all? •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• "I don't sell women." He spoke. "No, you just transport them to those who do. So noble." She licked her lips. "I don't interfere in anyone's business." "I hate to break your bubble but when you kidnap someone, you interfere in their whole life business." "I mean those who hire." He answered and she didn't look back. "You're charming. Good looking. Maybe even a bit gentlemanly but you are still a thug like the rest of them." She sniffed, "You kidnapped a girl. No explanations. Just a gun and threat and forced will to do what you tell her. So, just because you don't interfere in their business of selling or raping women, doesn't mean that you aren't equally disgusting and selfish and a fucker."
