❝Hello, you've reached Scar's mortuary! You kill em', we chill em'!❞
The Dixons are the wealthiest family in Harbor Village. They're also the most notorious. When playgirl Scarlet Holloway not-so-innocently uncovers one of their darkest secrets, she's thrown into a world of luxury, sex, and deception.
The tight-knit family are determined to keep Scar in their pocket. They'll do anything to prevent her from coming clean, protecting the family legacy at any cost. Scar knows the stakes are high - the only thing standing between her and an early grave is their middle son, Nicholias.
Nick puts the girls and drugs on pause, pursuing Scar like she's his next fix. Too bad for Nick, Scar can't be sure he's not a killer, or that his advances aren't just self-preservation.
Falling in love could cost a girl her life, but so could running from it. She'll do anything she can to stay alive and keep her friends safe. Maybe Scar really is just a moth, but she knows a little something about flames...

Gabriel & Athena, Book One: Fate (A Wattpad Featured Story)
FORMERLY TITLED "FATUM" Chosen as a Wattpad Featured Story in May 2017 There's a reason high school senior Athena Thorpe spends every available moment reading books: fiction is always so much better than the real world. Even the unexpected scandal she suffered thanks to Jackson Montgomery was just a blip in her typically mundane existence in Sparrow, North Carolina. But no story could ever compare to the life-altering events that occur when Gabriel Valente moves into town. Being the son of a notorious crime lord and having grown up on the streets of Manhattan, Gabriel defies all the expectations the students of Sparrow High have for him, including Athena's. She never expected he would match her interest in the written word, or his unlikely grand gestures and definitely not the immediate but intense feelings which cause them to spiral into a secret relationship. A relationship that hinders on Gabriel's uncertain future, which could find him being the heir to the mob throne. Whether or not she wants to admit it, Athena knows the world Gabriel comes from is a dark and violent one. It's just really easy to pretend it doesn't exist within the bubble that is Sparrow. Yet, no matter how much we pretend, reality is never far away, with Gabriel and Athena learning a tragic lesson about choice and consequence a little too late. When you finally decide what you want most in life, the next question becomes: will fate agree?Completa

In the somber world of 1924's Italian mafia, only the strongest can survive.

Suddenly, poverty-ridden Antonia is thrown into the turbulent reality of violence and deception that lies within one of the most feared mafia families on the East Coast: the Berettis. And what's worse is the sudden take of interest in her of every member in that damned family. Including that of the revered and dangerous Marco Beretti, son of the Don.

Haden Cooper, the cold and calculating head of their mafia empire, has built a dynasty that spans restaurants, casinos, hotels, and car dealerships. His wife, Joella, once the sweet and nurturing counterpart, has transformed. No longer the innocent woman she once was, Joella now commands respect as the Don's wife, her fierceness cutting through any pretense.

Together, Haden and Joella have raised eight extraordinary children, each brilliant in their own way, each a vital piece of the Cooper legacy. But beneath the surface of their seemingly unshakable empire, danger lurks.
