Baiardo: beautiful one day, full of intrigue the next. Juliet Carlsen is taking some much needed time out in the tiny northern Italian village of Baiardo where she hopes to find peace and quiet and perhaps some perspective after years of caring for her terminally ill mother. The sunshine, serenity and general sense of ‘la dolce vita’ are weaving their magic; the attentions of a handsome, if hot tempered, architect named Luca don’t hurt either. But Juliet begins to notice little cracks appearing in the smooth surface of village life and when her ex-lover arrives with plans for both Juliet and the village she finds herself at the centre of a drama which threatens the very fabric of life in Baiardo.  ******************************************************************************** Thanks to all those who have commented.

The Romanian Noblewoman (Lady Dimitrescu x Female Reader) by HannibalIlsaJeanKing

⚠️*MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING*⚠️ ⚠️*KINDLY READ ONLY IF YOU'RE AN ADULT. THERE IS A LOT OF SEXUAL CONTENT, VIOLENCE, INAPPROPRIATE SCENES AND FOUL LANGUAGE*⚠️ You have lost track of time completely. You still wonder how you got here in the first place. The land is barren as far as your eyes can see and yet, there is company in some form. After being introduced to the Lady Dimitrescu, you wonder why on Earth you decided to keep on surviving. Her hands and speech reeked of nothing but cruelty. Nevertheless, you manage to survive all of her temper tantrums. Just as you thought you cannot take it anymore, the tall woman starts to mellow. But your worth reaches the ears of Mother Miranda, who quickly takes an interest in you. As you're being pulled on all sides by different people, you long to be with only one. Your Alcina Dimitrescu. Is it worth it? Will you escape or will you stay? . . This story contains scenes of explicit violence, sex, inappropriate behaviour and foul language. I am also thinking of including a few risque scenes with the Dimitrescu girls. Also, I do want to give justice to Donna. There will be a few intimate (maybe?) scenes with her, as well. I do have a rough idea as to how I want the story to progress but let's see how it turns out lol. This is my first story so please be kind. Yours truly, Hannibal King.

A Sensuous Retribution by Calida_Ally

Xaviero Frontera, thirty-four, Italian billionaire, driven by revenge clawed his way from the slums of Naples to become a top-ranking business tycoon in the world of property development. Images of the brutal way his mother had met her demise haunted him every night. The crippling intensity of his need for retribution made him numb to every other emotion. For years he had been waiting for the right opportunity to pounce on Lynton Hunter, the man he held responsible for what had so unfairly happened to his mother. Xaviero couldn't believe his luck when the moment he had been hungry for so long came in the form of Brogan hunter, the daughter of his arch enemy. Brogan Hunter, twenty-three, New-Yorker, a passionate eco-warrior, had no idea she was going to become a pawn in a game of revenge. Infuriated by Xaviero Frontera's blatant disregard for the natural habitat of creatures by building on their homes, she decides to get his attention by handcuffing herself to one of his diggers on his building site. Xaviero sets the wheels of his objective into motion but the one thing he hadn't expected was the ferocity of the sexual chemistry that raged between himself and Brogan. A powerful attraction that threatened to blow his steely self-control and plans out of the water. Can Brogan, a beautiful free spirit, thaw Xaviero's heart which he had encased in ice? Or had the horror of what had happened to his mother made him unsalvageable?

Know Your Worth ✔️ by _dreams_xox

Daniela O'Brien. Dani is the girl you would say has absolutely no luck going for her at all. Two dead parents, an estranged sister and an abusive, controlling boyfriend who's keeping one hell of a secret from her. At 21 years old she unknowingly finds herself thrown into the darkest life of them all - The Mob. Carson Agnello. The guy you would say, on the surface, has all the luck going for him. At 25 years old, he's the leader of the most powerful Italian mafia in America. He's busy fighting off the Irish Mob who are neighbouring him in New York. They're on opposite sides of the battle, he knows of her but she has no clue who he is, until one event intertwines their two lives together. They suddenly rely just on each other, they need each other. They're all each other has. ✨ "I felt sorry for you, when I saw you. I wanted to help you because you were being attacked by these men. But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat. "Maybe I am just bad as them...or maybe I'm worse baby girl." ⚠️ Warning - this book contains explicit mentions and descriptions of abuse, rape, mental health issues and suicide. Read with caution please. ⚠️ Completed - 26.05.21
