11 parts Ongoing
Amelia Marie Thompsons life went to shambles when her best friend left her ten years ago without a word. Left to live on her own, she built a comfortable life in solitude...or as comfortable as she wanted to believe it was. She struggled more than one person should deal with, but she's a fighter and not one to back down. Her twenty-seven years alive have been earned, and she will continue to fight every day for peace. But peace never comes easily. Damon Rossi never cared about anyone or anything until he met Amelia in their youth. He never thought he could care about someone outside of his family, nor did he ever allow himself to, but one fateful day brought them together. They were inseparable until another fateful day tore him away from her without a word for a decade. Now, fate has brought them back together again. When Amelia is hunted down by someone after Damon, she flees to her once best friend for aid and protection. There, she discovers the truth to everything. Why he left, why he came back, and why he's such a hard ass. It is now up to these two stubborn individuals to solve this scheme without budding heads, but when old feelings start to stir with the new ones, they begin to realize they won't be able to walk away from this easily. Danger lurks over them, but is their love more terrifying? That's pretty crazy... **TRIGGER WARNINGS** Contains brief mentions of parental abuse, alcoholism, stalking, suicide, and sexual assault. These are only sprinkled in throughout the book, and will not provide extreme details, but I will provide trigger warnings at the beginning of the chapter, as well as ** at the start and end of the triggering paragraph(s) to inform the reader of exactly when it is happening, for anyone who wants to skip for personal reasons. This book is a mafia book and will contain violence and murder during many chapters. Keep in mind that this is a fictional dark romance novel and is just a creative outlet.

**Story Premise Isabella "Isa" Moretti has spent her entire life under the cruel thumb of her abusive stepfather, Antonio Moretti. After years of torment, Isa believes her only path to survival is silence and submission. But when Antonio's mounting debts to the notorious mafia don Luca De Santis become too great to pay, he uses Isa as collateral, handing her over to the cold and ruthless crime boss. Luca, a powerful and feared mafia leader, is used to controlling everything and everyone in his world. To him, Isa is another piece of property-a pawn in his empire. But the more time he spends around her, the more he becomes captivated by her quiet strength and fragile beauty. What begins as possessiveness soon grows into a dangerous obsession. As Luca tries to dominate Isa's world, she begins to realize that while she may have traded one prison for another, she is stronger than she ever imagined. With her past trauma haunting her and Luca's possessive hold tightening, Isa struggles to reclaim her sense of self. Luca, who has never allowed himself to be vulnerable, is forced to confront the depth of his feelings for Isa as his control starts to crumble. Meanwhile, Antonio schemes from the shadows, determined to get Isa back and exact revenge on Luca. With threats closing in from all sides, Isa and Luca must navigate a world of violence, betrayal, and emotional turmoil. Their relationship becomes a battle of power and survival, but it also holds the potential for redemption and healing. In a world where control means survival and trust is a luxury, Isa must learn to reclaim her life, and Luca must decide whether he can let go of his obsession and let Isa in. Together, they must face not only the enemies at their door but also the darkness within themselves. **"Shattered Vows"** is a story of power, possession, and ultimately love, where two broken souls find strength in each other-if they can survive long enough to heal.

Highest ranking, #1 in spiritual ( 10/7/2016 ) until ( 5/ 9/ 2016 ). How can you fix something that's already been broken, several times? I am damaged, used and repulsive... I am nothing, just simply unfixable. Or at least that's what people told me. I've kept to myself for a long time now until I met someone who is just as unfixable as me. I am Layla and this is my story. * Layla Joseph and Adam Hayek cross paths at the most unexpected time. They make a deal, they decide to get married for their own selfish reasons. Put two strangers in one house and see what happens... one of them is a first class bipolar asshole who has no faith left, while the other one is a sweet, fragile girl with baggage in the form of a little angel, who happens to be strengthening her faith. Both are broken... unfixable they say and both have a past that haunts them. A marriage of convenience is what they had in mind... But will there be more or will they let their pasts get in the middle and drive them away from each other, leaving them yet again unfixable? ******* Romance/Spiritual Warning! This book will most probably contain mature language at some point. This book is not meant to be preaching about islam, rather its a book about characters who happen to be muslims struggling with their faith and life. It's a FICTIONAL book, my imagination did the work for me. Anything else could be a coincidence. I DONT OWN ANY OF THE PHOTOS USED IN THIS BOOK. I'm not a perfect Muslimah and this book isn't a perfect Islamic book either. Please have an open mind when you read this book. Thank you.

Love how the story is unfolding after each chapter" Review by @simrangharge, Twirling pages (The Review book) THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK AND I HOPE YOU ALL WILL HAVE AS MUCH FUN READING IT AS I HAD WRITING IT :) THERE ARE SOME HEAVY TOPICS MENTIONED (like rape and child abuse).

Finding who I Am by Chelsealeehx
40 parts Complete Mature
• completed • If you notice any errors then please let me know • sequel for 'skin of an angel' published on my page With no family left and her whole world just crumbled down in front of her eyes, Lina spends the next 4 months in prison. She comes out a new woman with a new and clean mind set. She still tries too figure out who she is and what she wants in life and she doesn't let anyone or anything stand in her way. Finding out her boyfriend was the head of a mafia was a shock so when she gets told that her dad lead another mafia she is more shocked and doesn't know if she should follow down her fathers footsteps and lead the El Mante or follow her heart and stay loyal to Tom. ... I'll be putting trigger warnings before some, but not all because again, this book is dark so please be aware before you continue reading. Secondly, I do not recommend this book to anyone under the age of maturity (continue at your own risk) due to there being ALOT of explicit language and scenes that are heavily detailed and not suitable for everyone. I'm not putting warnings beforehand every single time, so continue at your own risk. Thirdly, I'm open to constructive criticism but not rudeness. Some people are passive aggressive and I'm sensitive. I will mute you with a quickness. And lastly, everything in this book that has to do with organized crime is a work of fiction. None of the characters, events, or descriptions are real. Also, do not romanticize the mafia. It isn't anything like we see written in books. It's much worse.
