Katherine Blaire has worked six grueling years to rise to the top of the banking world of Manhattan. Confident, voluptuous, and ambitious, she's nearly within reach of the promotion that will help to finance the college education of her autistic brother. She needs but one account- the account of Anthony Marvin, arguably the most influential and dangerous man in New York. Anthony "Tony" Marvin doesn't just own hotels and nightclubs. He controls both legitimate and underground empires as the heir of the most notorious mafia family in the city. Tony is ruthless, heartbreakingly handsome, and untouchable until Katherine enters his club with the business plan and with an unwavering refusal to back away from him. When Tony offers Katherine something she cannot refuse —a night with him in exchange for the contract —she storms out, humiliated and outraged. But Tony is interested in the woman who had the strength to say no to him, and Katherine finds herself drawn into a dangerous game of power struggle, desire, and growing love. As their relationship grows stronger, Tony's father, the ruthless mafia kingpin Thomas Marvin, will do whatever it takes to eliminate what he sees as his son's greatest weakness. Surrounded by enemies and with Katherine's entire family in danger, she and Tony must decide if their love is worth risking everything — including their lives. In a world in which love is the ultimate vulnerability, can a banker and a mafia prince redefine the rules of power?

“I’m going crazy.” Those are the first words Elara whispers into the silence, her voice trembling as everything she once ruled with perfection falls apart. “They're dead” a voice whispers in her head. “It turns you on knowing he kills for you.” Then he appears, shadowed, relentless, untouchable. A man whose name, face, and mission are unknown, but whose hands are stained with power, blood, and lust. “You'll always be mine,” he says, not a question, not an invitation, but an announcement. She once had control of her world but now she dances to tunes. “This is our love” he whispers against her ear, his grip running shivers down her spine. Her heart screams yes but her mind whispers no. Each kiss feels like fire, each touch like chains. “I don't want this” she lies to herself for she already knows she is taken. Elara, regardless of all the facts has lost track of the difference between right and wrong but all she knows is the warmth of his body, the ache between her thighs, the heat that pulses through her. No matter what lies she tells the question still stands… Is she a prisoner of love, bound by silken threads of desire, or is her heart a captive in a gilded cage?

He's the President of the Iron Brotherhood MC. She's running from a past that wants her dead. Gunner survived hell as a Navy SEAL, but nothing prepared him for the curvy blonde who crashes into his life like a bullet through steel. Cristy Winston isn't just another pretty face, she's a witness on the run, hiding from the men who murdered her father in cold blood. One look and I know she's mine. Doesn't matter that she's eleven years younger. Doesn't matter that her cousin's betrayal runs deeper than we thought. Doesn't matter that keeping her alive might cost me everything. She's terrified. Broken. Beautiful. And under my protection now. When her best friend Helena, the underground fighter known only as Ghost—gets caught in the crossfire, the body count starts rising. Rival MCs. Dirty cops. Organ traffickers. They all want a piece of what's mine. But they forgot one thing: I'm not just some biker. I'm a trained killer. And anyone who touches my woman dies screaming.

    The Romano estate was silent, too silent for a house that usually pulsed with the rhythm of power and danger. The chandeliers glimmered like frozen stars above the marble floors, and the scent of cigar smoke lingered in the air—a reminder that men had been here, making decisions that would change lives. Alessia Romano stood at the top of the grand staircase, her fingers gripping the railing as she listened to the muffled voices coming from her father's study. Her heart pounded in her chest, a steady drumbeat of dread. She had grown up surrounded by secrets, but tonight, something felt different. The air was heavy, suffocating, as if the walls themselves were holding their breath. Her father's voice, deep and commanding, carried through the door. "It's settled then. The marriage will take place in two weeks." The words struck her like a bullet. Marriage? Her breath caught, and she pressed a trembling hand to her lips. She didn't need to hear the rest. She already knew what it meant. The Romano family had been at war with the Morettis for decades. Blood had been spilled, alliances shattered, and trust destroyed. The idea of peace between them was laughable. And yet, here her father was, arranging a marriage with the enemy. Her mother's portrait hung on the wall beside her—a woman of grace and quiet strength. Alessia stared at it, searching for comfort, but found none. Her mother had died when she was young, leaving her to navigate the brutal world of the mafia alone. The door to the study opened, and her father stepped out, his expression unreadable. His dark suit was immaculate, his silver hair slicked back, his presence commanding as always. "Alessia," he said, his tone calm but final. "Come inside." She obeyed, though every step felt like walking toward her own execution. Inside, two men stood waiting. One was her father's consigliere, and the other—tall, broad-shouldered, with eyes as cold as winter steel—was Damian Moretti. The name alone sent a chill down her spine. She had heard stories about him. Ruthless. Calculating. A man who ruled his empire with an iron fist and a heart of stone. Their eyes met, and for a moment, the world seemed to still. His gaze was sharp, assessing, as if he could see straight through her. "This is my daughter, Alessia," her father said. "She will be your wife." Her pulse roared in her ears. "No," she whispered, shaking her head. "You can't be serious." Her father's expression hardened. "This is not a request. It's a necessity. The families need peace, and this is the only way." Damian's lips curved into something that wasn't quite a smile. "Don't worry, princess. I don't bite—unless provoked." The mocking tone made her blood boil. "I'd rather die than marry you." "Careful," he murmured, stepping closer. "In our world, words like that can be arranged." Her father slammed his hand on the desk. "Enough! This union will happen. You will do your duty, Alessia." Tears burned behind her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. She lifted her chin, meeting Damian's gaze with defiance. "You may have my hand, Mr. Moretti, but you will never have my heart." He leaned in, his breath brushing her ear. "We'll see about that." The words sent a shiver down her spine—not of fear, but of something far more dangerous. As she turned to leave, her father's voice echoed behind her. "The wedding will be in two weeks. Prepare yourself." Outside the study, Alessia pressed her back against the wall, her chest heaving. The world she knew was collapsing, and in its place rose a future she didn't want—a future bound by blood, betrayal, and a man whose touch could destroy her. But as she stared out the window at the dark horizon, one thought burned in her mind. If this was her fate, she would face it on her own terms. And Damian Moretti would learn that the mafia princess was no one's pawn.

On the night she is humiliated before the elite of V City, Kissabel walks away from everything she once believed in. What she doesn’t know is that her fall places her directly in the path of Adrian Goodwill—a ruthless CEO feared in the business world and whispered about in the mafia underworld. Cold, calculating, and dangerously irresistible, Adrian doesn’t believe in love. He believes in control. But Kissabel is unlike any woman he’s ever met. As secrets buried for decades begin to surface, Kissabel discovers that her missing mother was not just a victim—but the crown princess of a dominant mafia clan who sacrificed power for forbidden love. And now, that legacy is calling Kissabel home. Caught between corporate wars, mafia bloodlines, and a love that was never supposed to exist, Kissabel must choose: Run from her destiny… Or embrace the darkness and rule beside the man who would burn the world to protect her. Because when a mafia king falls in love, it is never gentle— it is unconditional.

Haunted by the memory of a mysterious woman he met one night years ago, Venzrich has been searching for her ever since—the only woman who can make him feel pleasure and ignite something he didn’t know existed. And now, fate has thrown her back into his grasp. He’s determined that she’ll never leave his sight again. As Mallory struggles to protect her son from her cruel family, she also has to survive a billionaire who refuses to let her go, whose touch ignites dangerous desires she can’t ignore. “There’s no way I’m letting you go. You’re either mine or mine.” And just like that, they’re caught in a whirlwind of chaos, passion, and a contract as husband and wife—where nothing is safe, nothing is predictable, and everything seems to slip out of her grasp. Can she open her heart again, or will the scars of her past trap her forever? And can she survive the man hiding behind a perfect mask—the devil who wants everything, including her? P.S: If you want an ML who was gentle and actually knows aftercare. Read this.

Ilyra Noem was never meant to live in the shadows of power, but for years she kept an empire together without saying a word. As the wife of billionaire Ruvan Calderic, she worked without a title, power, or recognition, stopping disasters that no one could have seen coming. It was difficult to see how smart she was. No one has written down her sacrifices. Her access ended with her marriage. The Calderic Group starts to break apart in small but dangerous ways when Ilyra disappears. Contracts don't work. There are holes in oversight. People in charge pay attention. The man who once thought that power could replace loyalty now knows that he can't get back what he lost by using force. Ilyra doesn't come back to beg. She comes back as an independent expert who is untouchable, controlled, and ready. Questions shift from business to personal responsibilities, revealing their past and serving as evidence. Being quiet becomes a problem. Distance becomes unfeasible. Every attempt to conceal the truth demonstrated the deep connection between their lives. This story isn't about forgiving someone right away. It's the story of a woman who won't be forgotten just because she was loved and then left. It's also about power being regained and boundaries being enforced. Once people are held accountable, the focus changes from figuring out what went wrong to resolving the problem at its source. But who will have to manage the results?

Year 2017 from core of the earth a wave of invisible shock was sent to the entire world, known as The Pulse. The Pulse was described publicly as a “deep tectonic resonance event,” a harmless seismic glitch. But the truth: It wasn’t natural. It wasn’t accidental. And it wasn’t the first time. The Pulse is a rare, cyclical phenomenon recorded in hidden texts across multiple fallen civilizations—Sumer, Harappa, Olmec, even fragments in Egyptian priest archives. Every time it appeared, the world changed. Empires rose. Empires vanished. Humanity evolved—quietly. But rulers of old feared the truth: talent could become power, and power could become divinity. So they buried every record. And the cycle repeated. This time, however, the world is too connected to hide what’s coming. Evolution Wearing Human Skin People affected by the Pulse gained “metaphysical-reactive attributes,” or MRA, a subtle reconfiguration of neurons, instincts, and perception. The government calls them metas. But an older name appears in forbidden historical fragments: Paragons. Those who step past human limitation. Abilities don’t manifest instantly. They awaken like instincts you forgot you had: A thought that moves an object A reflex that deflects a blow A sense that predicts danger A whisper of power responding to emotion Abilities are intimate, personal, and deeply psychological—reflecting the person, not biology. The Pulse didn’t give powers. It unlocked dormant architecture in the human mind.
