Love,Written In Ruins

Eloise thought her first heartbreak would end in tears. She was wrong. It ended in gasoline and a match. For two years, she’d loved him with the kind of innocence that believed in forever. He was her first love, her safe place, her reason to dream. That night, she had planned to give him the one thing she’d never given anyone—her first time. But destiny had a cruel sense of humor. Under the plastic bag in his bedroom trash bin, she found the truth—used condoms, still smelling faintly of betrayal. And as if fate wanted her to drown in humiliation, her best friend called to say she’d seen him dining in a restaurant with another woman. Eloise went there, trembling and furious, only to see him kissing that woman—his hand where hers should’ve been, his mouth speaking promises she once believed in. The world blurred. Rage replaced heartbreak. She poured wine on his face, slapped him hard enough to sting her palm, and threw the used condoms at his chest when he tried to explain. It should’ve ended there. But pain demanded more. That night, her anger took the shape of flames. And she burned down his estate. Only it wasn’t his. It belonged to Luciano Solis De la Vega—a man whose name was a whisper in every dark corner of the city. Ruthless. Powerful. Addictively composed. The kind of man who could ruin lives with a single look—and never lose sleep over it. Now, Eloise belongs to him. She is his debt. His punishment. His. Luciano doesn’t believe in mercy. He believes in control—in lessons that scar, in breaking beauty until it learns how to bend. But Eloise is not a woman who surrenders quietly. Every defiant glance, every tremble fueled by fury instead of fear, awakens something dangerous inside him. Their nights become war zones—hate colliding with heat, punishment blurring into desire. Every touch burns. Every word cuts. Every moment teeters between ruin and obsession. As Eloise searches for a way out—of Luciano’s grip and the treacherous pull between them—betrayal resurfaces in unexpected forms. Jealous lovers. Hidden alliances. Enemies disguised as friends. Even loyalty has teeth. Because when two broken souls collide, they don’t heal each other— they burn together. And from the ashes of betrayal, love writes its name. Not in promises. Not in light. But in ruins.

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?
