mafia

When rival mafia families negotiate peace after years of bloodshed, Elena Rossi is forced into an arranged marriage with Alessandro Moretti — the most feared Don in Europe. The union is meant to seal alliances and end violence. But peace in the underworld is fragile. Alessandro is ruthless, emotionally guarded, and dangerously possessive. He makes it clear their marriage is strategic — nothing more. Yet as Elena navigates life inside his heavily guarded mansion, she begins to see cracks beneath his cold exterior. When a rival family targets her to destabilize Alessandro’s empire, he responds with merciless brutality, proving that while he may not claim to love her… he will destroy anyone who dares to touch her. As obsession grows between them, betrayal emerges from within Alessandro’s inner circle. Elena is kidnapped, triggering an all-out mafia war that reshapes the power balance of the underworld. Rescued but forever changed, Elena chooses to stand beside her husband — not as a victim, but as his equal. She becomes the queen the mafia never expected. Just when the empire finally stabilizes and Alessandro confesses his love, Elena disappears without a trace — leaving behind only a black chess piece and a message that threatens to ignite a new war. Because someone powerful has been watching. And they just made the Don’s biggest mistake.

Ravenshire Academy has stood for over a century as a symbol of excellence. It is a place where the children of the country’s most influential families are educated, molded, and prepared to become the leaders of the future. Its reputation is flawless. Perhaps too flawless. When classified reports indicate a secret network of prostitution and drug distribution operating quietly within the academy, the shadow organization known as The Antiquarian decides the case is too sensitive for an open investigation. Too many powerful names are involved and too many doors would slam shut before the truth could escape. They need people who can get in without appearing to enter at all. Victoria, one of the best operators within The Antiquarian, receives the mandate. She then does something found in no official protocol: she sends her three younger siblings. The charismatic and trustworthy Helena infiltrates The Ivory Assembly, the most exclusive social circle at Ravenshire where the children of power gather and where dark recruitment begins. The cold and brilliant Angel joins The Alchemyst, a science club hiding secret laboratories and experiments that go far beyond the official curriculum. The sensitive and extroverted Romeo enters The Ashborn, a group of rebellious students long considered the source of trouble at Ravenshire who actually guard a secret no one suspects. The three of them adopt names that are not theirs, pretend to be strangers, and begin to move. What they discover is more than just high class crime operating behind expensive uniforms. At the heart of Ravenshire, a shadow organization called The Obsidian Society has been rooted for decades, recruiting, conditioning, and placing selected alumni in key positions across every sector of life. The drug and prostitution networks are merely instruments used for funding, control, and as entry points to something much larger. As the three siblings dig deeper, it becomes clear that the real threat is not about what is happening inside Ravenshire but rather what is being prepared to happen outside the academy walls precisely when the centennial celebration arrives. However, this investigation brings more than just physical danger. Amidst brutal social hierarchies, secret parties, and experiments that disturb the conscience, the three face something missing from Victoria’s briefing: people they cannot simply read as targets or threats. Kian, who knows more than he admits. Elias, who wants out but does not know how. Anya, who enters Angel’s life in a way that fits no strategic scheme. And Victoria herself, the sister who sent them to this place, who turns out to be hiding her own history with Ravenshire, a history that might be the true reason for all of this. By the time the full truth of The Obsidian Society begins to emerge, the question is no longer just about how to stop it but about who they will be after it is all over and whether the word finished is even relevant for something rooted this deep.

Cursed at ten, Izana Grimshaw grew up feared by others and by himself. The night the curse awakened, destroyed his family and left him believing he was a monster, a belief he carries as a permanent mark of his grief. Now a ruthless mafia boss, he hides his light-sensitive green eyes behind a white blindfold while the curse slowly destroys his health. He distrusts physical contact, recoiling from any touch as if it could harm both him and others. At twenty-six, Izana is forced into an arranged marriage with Leah Gryphon, a woman with a past as dark as his own. She tries to help him survive the curse, but he pushes her away, convinced he deserves nothing but isolation. But as hatred turns to understanding, and understanding to something far more dangerous, Izana must face the truth. Love may be the one thing strong enough to challenge the monster he believes himself to be.

METRO GENESIS by Ada. The year is 3044. Humanity made it this far. Barely. AI got sorted eventually, redirected toward handling the tedious, the administrative, the soul-crushing weight of daily existence so humans could spend time doing things that actually required being human. A noble vision. Metro City found a way to make even that sinister. Metro City was never a good place to live. It was, however, always a spectacular place to disappear, into its rain-slicked streets, its corporate towers, its carefully maintained illusion that someone, somewhere, had things under control. Buried beneath that illusion was the Nemesis Protocol Unit. Black ops. Off the books. The agency that handled the problems polite society preferred to pretend didn't exist. The NPU didn't officially exist. It was also the only thing standing between Metro City and complete collapse. For nearly as long as the NPU existed, there was NexoPharma. Gleaming towers. Government contracts. The kind of respectability built on strategic donations and carefully placed allies. Ask anyone on the street what NexoPharma was really doing in those labs and they'd lower their voice and say the same thing: bioweapons. They weren't wrong. In 3034, rookie agent Adrian Cole was assigned to NexoPharma Tower. Routine investigation. Get in, gather evidence, get out. It was not routine. The tower caught fire. The kill teams mobilized. His senior partner went back for him when he didn't have to, pushed Adrian clear, and didn't make it out. Adrian crawled from that building on two broken ankles, alone, with the sound of screaming that stopped too soon ringing in his ears. He spent two weeks in hospital. He spent the next ten years trying to deserve it. By 3044, Adrian Cole is the Ace of NPU, the best field agent the Nemesis Protocol Unit has ever produced. Decorated. Relentless. Still haunted. The kind of man who walks into situations that break other agents and walks out with the truth still intact. Metro City is working on fixing that. Above him sits Elias, NPU's iron-spined higher up, a man who has survived long enough to know exactly which questions you ask out loud and which ones you take permanently to your grave. He gives Adrian enough information to complete the mission. Never quite enough to understand what the mission actually is. Then there is Garrick, pilot, transport specialist, and somehow the most aggressively normal human being in this entire story. We are enormously fond of him. We are also deeply concerned for him. There is also Marcus. That's all we're saying about Marcus. You'll understand why. And finally, Aveline. Ace of the Crime Division. Half Canadian, half Russian. The kind of dangerous that doesn't announce itself. She is a psychopath, this is not a plot twist, not a slow revelation, not a dramatic chapter reveal. Everyone who works with her knows it. Everyone who works against her really knows it. She is not looking for redemption. She was never soft. She looked at Metro City in all its corruption and decided the correct response was not to fix it, but to be better at it than everyone else in the room. Not sweet. But definitely a psycho. Metro City is rotting. The Nexo Incident has begun. The corporations are panicking quietly, violently, and with excellent legal representation. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, an agent running on borrowed time and a woman who never needed a reason are about to find out exactly how deep Metro City's rot goes. It goes very deep. Nobody is ready. Least of all you. Welcome to Metro Genesis. Try not to get attached.

His husky voice dripped with lust as he gazed at me with dark desire glinting in his dark orbs. "Ye—yes Daddy," I gulped hard, feeling my pussy drip wet as I moistened my lips. "Then get down on your knees, good girl, and show Big Daddy what you've learned so far." My knees buckled, and I fell onto my knees. Reaching for his hardened cock, I flicked my tongue over his dickhead before wrapping my lips around it. Suckling and lapping hungrily, I felt it twitch under my tongue as a soft, satisfied moan escaped his lips. ** ** ** ** When Arielle discovered her boyfriend had been warming someone else's bed, it was extremely humiliating. However, when he acted like a prick over it, she decided the best revenge was to stop being a good girl. Drunk, desperate for a release and burning for something to erase the humiliation, Ari has a revenge ONS with a sinfully gorgeous stranger twice her age. He was commanding and absolutely forbidden. And he gave her the most earth-shattering orgasm of her life. She told herself it was one night. A filthy little secret she would take to her grave — that is, if her father did not put her there first. Until she walked into her university and came face to face with none other than the same man who had her screaming and owning every inch of her body just hours before. Professor Massimo DeLuca. Her new professor. Her forty year old sin. The ruthless Italian sex God. And the most dangerous man she had ever had the misfortune of wanting. Massimo had buried his heart years ago after tragedy tore his world apart. He did not do love. He did not do attachment. He took what he wanted, satisfied every dark craving, and walked away without a scratch. Until her. Now Arielle is not just his student, she is his obsession. She is the one thought he cannot silence, the one craving he cannot satisfy no matter how many times he has her, the one woman threatening to crack open everything he has spent years locking away. And Massimo is no longer just her professor, he is the man slowly dismantling every wall she never knew she'd built while he teaches her lessons beyond lecture halls. With so many hidden secrets tucked in their backgrounds, what will become of their forbidden love? And the biggest question of all, when some dangerous truths surface, will she survive loving a man who was never supposed to want her?

After the Cosa Nostra slaughtered her family before her eyes, she infiltrates the powerful Giordano Mafia family under a false identity, determined to destroy them from the inside. But revenge becomes dangerous when she finds herself drawn to the one man she should hate the most—her husband’s psychotic brother. Dangerous. Unhinged. Ruthless.

Excerpts; “We can’t be doing this,” I warn, my breathing coming off more shallow than I’d like. My nerves spike, high on adrenaline, my half-lidded eyes darting around the darkened hallway in alert. “I’m your brother’s wife.” The claws of guilt have never gripped this tight. His silence is ominous. I fear it. His huge frame casts shadows over me, sinful lips leaving goosebumps behind with every trail on my skin. “That can be solved with just one bullet,” he croons, an icy threat lacing his words. Terror seizes my chest; my stomach drops with a sickening plop. Fear grips me as it clicks—he’s not bluffing. He’s capable of doing worse.

DE LUCA He died a nobody. He woke up in 1905 with a system, a suitcase full of money, and a dead grandfather's voice in his head. Brooklyn is a sewer. The docks are full of rats.

The world moved forward just fine without him. Now it's going to move his way.

R18 | Reader discretion is heavily advised. Proceed only if you enjoy pure, manipulative dark romance. ~~~~~~ I loathed those dark eyes. Not a day or night passed without them haunting me like restless ghosts on a rampage. Even as I stood there defiantly glaring at him, they seemed to bore into my mind, body, and soul. I hated them. I despised them. "You spoke out of turn, sweetheart." His infuriatingly deep voice shattered the flame igniting in my body. "I don't want you kneeling. I want you standing exactly like this... angry, defiant, and unbroken. So you understand that even at your strongest... you're still mine." "And if I don't want to be? Will you destroy me?" Defiant was my middle name, and I would live up to it or die trying. "That doesn't scare me." A slow smile I knew all too well touched his mouth, but it did not unnerve me one bit. I had seen too much of his ruthlessness to be deterred by that dark, devoted, yet terrifying smirk. "I would destroy the world first. But if it came to you?" He leaned in, his words brushing my ear like a promise and a threat intertwined. "I'd ruin you... and call it mercy." ***** For three years, Isabella was married to one of the richest men in America.
