I should feel sick from deriving pleasure from this, but strangely, I wasn't. "Two?" I teased, purposely getting the numbers wrong. "You shouldn't have done that." Just as I thought, he started again, but this time he drove each hit with more force until my ass was burning. "Fifteen!" I yelled, shaking. "Wrong." My heart momentarily stopped. "I got it right!" "You missed one." He pressed his hand on my searing bottom, and I moaned. I tried to squirm away, but he trapped my hands behind my back, his voice dark with warning.

Synopsis: The Man I Never Knew I Love In the sun-kissed vineyards of Andalusia, Isabella Ruiz has always believed love is a choice—one she would never surrender to anyone. At twenty-four, she is fierce, artistic, and fiercely independent, dreaming of a life beyond the suffocating expectations of her aristocratic family. But when her father’s crumbling empire forces a desperate alliance, Isabella is handed the ultimate betrayal: an arranged marriage to Alejandro Vargas, the feared Mafia boss of the Vargas syndicate. Known across Spain as the Devil of Catalonia, Alejandro is a man forged in shadows—ruthless, calculating, and lethally charismatic. At thirty-two, he rules an underground empire of smuggling, power, and blood, cloaked behind the legitimate facade of a billionaire shipping magnate. To the world, the marriage is a perfect merger: old Spanish nobility cleansing the Vargas name, while his wealth rescues the Ruiz vineyards from ruin. To Isabella, it is a prison sentence. She despises him on sight—his cold obsidian eyes, the faint scar along his jaw, the way danger clings to him like expensive cologne. He sees her as nothing more than a beautiful transaction, a key to legitimacy, a woman who will learn her place. Their wedding is lavish, public, and loveless. Their wedding night is a battlefield of fury, defiance, and an unwanted spark neither can name. But forced proximity is a cruel teacher. As Isabella is pulled deeper into Alejandro’s world—of midnight deals, whispered threats, jealous ex-lovers, and enemies who would kill to see him fall—she discovers the man beneath the monster. A man who protects what is his with terrifying ferocity. A man who watches her paint at dawn with something dangerously close to tenderness. A man whose touch ignites her even as she vows to hate him forever. She tries to fight it. She plots escape, schemes revenge, flirts with danger just to wound him. Yet every time she draws blood—literal or emotional—she finds herself bleeding too. Because the line between hatred and obsession blurs. Because his possessiveness awakens something dark and hungry inside her. Because when bullets fly and blood stains marble floors, it is his arms that shield her, his voice that roars her name like a prayer. Alejandro never expected to want her soul. Isabella never expected to crave the devil who owns her. In a world of secrets, betrayal, and unrelenting passion, two people bound by chains of duty begin to forge something unbreakable: a love so violent, so consuming, so wrong in every way… that it might just be the only thing right. The Man I Never Knew I Love A dark mafia romance of forced marriage, enemies-to-lovers obsession, slow-burn surrender, possessive devotion, and the dangerous truth that sometimes the monster you fear most… is the only one who can save you.

Dark romance x mature content x slow burn. ****Blurb***** "Look, I have an Escalade, by the way." Fedora's lips folded. He had no idea what to do with that information, but he figured if he just indulged the man's ego, it would end faster. Faster, my foot. Miguel swallowed hard, his voice dropping to a low, predatory whisper as he leaned in. "All my offers, and any other thing you can wish for... I will get it done." He beat his chest softly, his eyes darkening. "If you can just follow me outside. To the back of my comfy Escalade. It's been a long time since I had a bitch served... in my car." He finished the sentence and swiped his tongue across his lips, biting them with a raw, sexual hunger. He waited for the final reply, already getting high on the thought of cupping that tiny waist with one hand and burying himself in that Chanel-scented skin until the boy pleaded his name in parables. Fedora went stoic. He was completely frozen, the world stopping as the shock and bewilderment hit him like a physical blow. He scoffed in disbelief, his jaw practically hitting the floor. 'Back of the Escalade. Bitches served in a car'. "Me! Fedora!! Bitch!!! Served in the back of a car!!! Unto delicacy!!!! Gosh!!!!!" Fedora muttered, the words replaying in his head like a record skip. A dry, hysterical laugh escaped his lips. Oh, this was the height of it. He wasn't going to stand there and let another man disrespect him. Never. Miguel took another step closer, his head hovering over Fedora's, dominant and sure. The boy hadn't said a word; he was definitely giving in, Miguel thought. He leaned in further, waiting for the "yes" but what came next?! It was, by far, the least expected thing any living human being would have the guts to do to him. Behold, it was no other than a hot, non-withheld, redirective, and resounding SLAP!!!! †††††††† **************** Fedora loved him. Miguel loved him too obsessively. Possessively. To the point where devotion blurred into control. Miguel wanted to be involved in everything that touched Fedora’s life, and he proved, time and again, that he would go against his own will, spill blood, even die if it meant keeping Fedora spoiled, protected, and tethered to him. On the surface, Miguel was everything anyone could dream of. Until Fedora fell so deeply in love that he hit rock bottom and realised the darkness there was too suffocating for both his aesthetic and his sanity. He thought he knew Miguel. He was catastrophically wrong. Fedora had been blind to the beast he let into his heart. The truth comes apart slowly, cruelly: Miguel is the reason Fedora has no family. The reason is that there is no life for him beyond Miguel’s shadow. And worst of all, Fedora had chosen him anyway, his memories erased not by force, but by misplaced devotion. “Pick a gun and empty it into his brain.” The solution sounds simple. It isn’t. Fedora doesn’t know what’s real anymore. He can’t tell if what he shared with Miguel, the man he once humiliated in a bar, the man who later became his lover, was genuine love or a carefully staged performance fueled by manipulation, guilt, and obsession. The cruel irony? Miguel is wrapped around Fedora’s fingers, tight as a rosary around a nun’s hand. And yet, Fedora is still the one trapped. Now he must decide. Will he avenge his family? Will love survive the truth? And if Miguel dies, will it be swift… or slow enough to satisfy the damage left behind? This isn’t a romance. It’s a beautifully brutal descent into love, control, and consequence. Enter at your own risk. ********* . warning!!!
