Hostile Takeover
Genre: Mafia Romance | Enemies-to-Lovers | Power Couple | Slow Burn Spice ⸻ Valentina Cruz didn't claw her way to the top of the corporate world just to be pushed around by a man - especially not one with blood on his hands and a smirk that could start a war. Luca Moretti, heir to New York's most notorious crime family, isn't used to hearing "no." But when Valentina's company accidentally buys one of his family's laundering fronts, she becomes his new obsession - and his biggest problem. She wants to keep her empire clean. He wants his property back. Neither plans on falling for the enemy. But when an unknown rival targets them both, Valentina and Luca are forced into a fake partnership - complete with shared office space, public "engagements," and way too many late nights that stop being about business. He calls her "boss" just to get under her skin. She makes him sign NDAs before kissing her. Together? They're chaos wrapped in expensive suits. ⸻ Expect: • power play banter that turns into sexual tension • a CEO in stilettos outsmarting a man who's killed for less • mafia-style "protection" that gets a little too personal • humor, luxury, danger, and heat in every chapter • a love story that starts with blackmail and ends with a blood oath ⸻ She wanted control. He wanted her surrender. Neither expected love to be the real takeover.

Bound in Blood [Rewriting]
Mateo Costello rules with fear. A rising mob boss with blood on his hands and enemies at his feet, he's built his empire on brutality, loyalty, and the unspoken promise that betrayal ends in death because that is all he's ever known. Nobody crosses him twice. Nobody survives long enough to try. Then he meets Malia Sofia. Defiant, elusive, and impossible to control, Malia burns through every wall Mateo has spent years building around himself. She's all sharp edges and wildfire fury, the kind of woman who would rather start a war than bow her head. And for the first time in his life, Mateo finds himself undone by someone he can't intimidate, buy, or break. What begins as dangerous attraction quickly spirals into obsession. Drawn together by violence, secrets, and a hunger neither of them can resist, Mateo and Malia are forced into a world where love is lethal and loyalty comes at a price. Because in the mafia, blood binds deeper than promises... and once you're pulled into the darkness, there's no escape. Bound in Blood is a dark, action-romance, filled with power, obsession, betrayal, and devastating consequences. In a world ruled by fear and fuelled by revenge, love may be the deadliest weakness of all.Complete
