The Mafia's Undoing

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?

vows written in blood

Freya was the first Freya—the first daughter ever born to an alpha, a symbol of strength and destiny. Her life was meant to reshape the world of packs. Instead, she sacrificed herself for family.

She was wrong. Her husband betrayed her. Her brother refused to come to her aid. When she escaped and returned to her birth pack, they shut their gates, choosing alliance and power over blood. What followed destroyed her completely: Her unborn child was taken from her for ritual gain Her body was sold piece by piece for wealth and influence She died without honor, without burial, without rest Because she did not wait for her mate, Freya’s soul was denied peace. --- Rebirth Freya is reborn into the world she once trusted—and once feared.

And I will take back everything that was stolen from me. Her mate is Arthur—known among the packs as The Autumn Alpha. A ruler of balance and destruction. Calm, ruthless, ancient in presence. He does not yet know her face—but his soul has never stopped searching. When Freya and Arthur draw close, the bond awakens slowly but undeniably. Arthur’s alpha instincts ignite: protective, commanding, and fiercely territorial. He senses the scars in her soul and knows—someone broke what was meant to be his.

The Crown Prince harbored a hidden identity that even his closest confidants were unaware of. Secrets from the past began to unravel, and their intertwined destinies became entangled in a tapestry of love, magic, and danger. As the war loomed over Nacrifa, Aliena had to find the strength within herself to rise above her weaknesses and embrace her true self. In a world where strength came in many forms, she had to prove that even the weakest vampire had a role to play in the kingdom's survival.

She has something that he needs. * “Give me six months.” She said, “And I will heal your legs.” The look in her eyes was like a gambler’s throwing in her last dime and knowing that the odds were in her favour. “That is a bold claim.” Anton stared back at her, his icy eyes shattering the illusion of confidence Layla struggled to hold unto in her ill-fitting clothes.
