*Heighest ranking 26th in Love, 1st in General Fiction, and 1st in Tragedy, as well as no#1 in mystery* When you're the most feared and powerful Italian Mafia Boss, you cannot have the world know of your existence or of any personal ties you may have. Otherwise bad things tend to happen, and this man learned that lesson the hard way. Now, he refuses to allow anyone close to him, much less get anywhere past his cold exterior. Their story wasn't meant to begin like it did. They weren't meant to meet the way they did. After all, she was only a university student and he was a ghost. Nonexistent, a rumor, a story you told your children at night. But when the most unforeseen circumstances cause their paths to cross, not once, not twice, but thrice--an encounter that ends with the vow of discretion and avoidance. They have no choice but to acknowledge they have to stay away before one of them gets hurt. Which is exactly what happens. This causes another encounter between the two, but this time with a promise of safety and security, because he owes her his life. *** "I say what I mean, and I do what I say." He assured in a low rumbling voice that had her transported back to older times. "And when I say I will keep you safe, believe me, that not even a hair on your head will be touched."

Touch Of Misery
Catalina Stone was born into luxury, but with a price. She was raised by the Stone Mafia-a world of power, blood, and danger. By the age of eight, she was already learning how to lead, and by sixteen, she took control. At eighteen, she pushed her mafia into the top three in the country. Now at twenty-three, Catalina is everything she's worked for: strong, sexy, and in charge. But lately, things aren't so simple. New people, new emotions...things are starting to feel, human. And for once, she's starting to question it all. Then Giovanni Perez walks into her life. And everything changes. But Catalina knows better than anyone. When you mess with fire, you're bound to get burned. Sample: "Mafia I see, didn't take you as the type," He said, breaking our silent staring contest. "Then I'm doing my job," "Damn good one if you're in the top three." "Thank you, I know," I said. We were studying each other. His body in that tux looked delicious. His hair was styled differently, less slicked back, I liked this one more. He was practically looking at me the same way. Like as if he wanted me right now, on this table. "Why'd you leave?" He questioned. "Well, it was a one night stand wasn't it?" "No, we wanted to be friends. But since clearly now, were aligned, we can be more." He said. Definitely not. "No, Giovanni, you and I are just work partners. Nothing more. Don't get confused from something that only happened once." My voice was serious. I was serious. Now that I know who he is and that we're working together, I can't risk it. "One date." He said.
Finally- Hayes Grier
"My eyes widened and I looked around as the guys screamed louder pleading me to say yes. I just looked around pretending to be clueless. I actually wanted to though. Being completely honest here. But he didn't even know me. He didn't like me. I was just a fan. I looked away at the door and quickly looked back at the boys as I heard all the guys scream at the top of their lungs. Right when I looked up, Hayes' lips were on mine." Sorry if some things in the story doesn't make sense, or is unrealistic. I didn't have much experience while writing this book, but I promise the second book is much more clear and better because I got experience:) So I changed their age to 14 because a lot of you were complaining that they were too young to be doing stuff they were doing;PComplete
Joelinton
Joe felt jitters. The flight was long and tiring. She tried to calm herself. For over nine hours she kept telling herself there was no reason to be so nervous. The plane finally landed. She was in London. She should have been excited. She had always dreamt of traveling around the world. "Hey Daph, I can't see you." "Here. Look over here." She heard someone shouting. She turned towards the direction of her sisters shouting, beaming when she saw Daphne. London looked good on her. She ran towards Daphne, leaving her suitcase unattended. Daphne picked her up, hugging her tightly. "Oh my God! I've missed you so much. You look so pretty." Joe blushed. She'd been getting that a lot. "My bags." Joe said, turning back to where she'd left them. Her breath seized when she saw him standing beside her bags. As if it was nothing, he picked them up, walking towards them. She didn't know he was gonna be there. As if glued to the ground, Joe stood, unable to move, her eyes watching him, her breathing fast and raspy. She lightly hit her chest where her heart was, taking deep breaths "Joe, you remember Harry." Of course she did. He looked so much older, more mature, more handsome. She'd visualized this moment so many times in her head. Her imagination didn't come close to this reality. His smell filled her nose, bewitching her. She could recognize this smell anywhere. 'Calm yourself, Joe.' She said in her mind. "Long time no see, Joelinton."Complete
