WARNING: This an extremely dark romance.


Shivers raced through my spine at the dark, heated stares from them —the brothers I was about to pledge my body to.
“Sweetheart, you need to know what you are getting into by joining the game,” Blue's voice startled me.
I gulped as my eyes went to Fred's. His mouth went up in a smirk as his dark eyes roamed through my body.
Desires and fear took hold of me as I glanced around their 'play house'
I know what I'm signing up for by consenting to be their toy. Yet, I willingly took that step, to freedom, desire, and, worst of all —pain.


As a journalist, Bella was determined to be the best. She was always taking jobs discarded or termed 'impossible' by others.
However, she doesn't know what she signed up for when she agrees to interview the Christophos brothers —wealthy men who live in a spooky old castle.
She thought it would be effortless despite the number of journalists who had failed to get any info on the brothers until she stepped foot into the compound.
Unknown to the unsuspecting woman, she was in for a ride of her life with brothers who might not be as human as they seem…
The game is about to begin... And it's the survival of the fittest...

"You are playing with fire, doll," he warned, eyes dark and dangerous.
"A very deadly fire." I looked at the chains on the bed again and pictured them clamped on my wrists, my tits and pussy in full display... Maybe deadly will do for now...


Harbouring feelings for someone older than me seems deadly especially when the said person is my uncle. Despite knowing this, the thirst for a drop from his hot-as-hell river of sexiness can't be quenched. Fantasies turned into cravings which in turn spurred the implementation of my devious plans to get him all to myself.
Will this blood barrier push him away from acknowledging this mutual feeling of lust, or will his fuel be poured on my burning coals?

"We can't keep doing this," he muttered, glancing around like someone might catch them any second.
She cupped his face, her thumbs brushing his stubbled jaw. "Tell me you don't feel this fire between us.”
"I don't!" he retorted, but his body betrayed him; his hard length strained against his pants.
"Liar,” she smiled coyly. “Your mouth says one thing, but this…” Her eyes dropped deliberately. “...says you want to break every rule for me.”


Isabella Damiano, the only daughter of a powerful New York mafia boss, has always been kept safe and locked away, but all she wants is a taste of real freedom.
Then one night she's kidnapped and rescued by Alexander Bradford, an ex-soldier, who is drowning in debt and desperate to save his dying mother.
Her father, Salvatore Damiano, offers him a deal he can't turn down: become Isabella's personal bodyguard. But the only rule? Keep her alive... or die trying.
Isabella hates him instantly; to her, he’s just another jailer in a suit. And to him, she's a spoiled rich girl who'll get them both in trouble.
But the more Isabella provokes him, the more their hate turns into something hot, dark, and dangerous. They can't keep their hands off each other — even though one wrong move could put a bullet in his head.
As Alexander struggles to keep Isabella alive, they discover that someone within the family wants her dead.
Can they figure out who the real enemy is before it's too late? Because one mistake won't just take away her freedom...
It will end in blood.

“Fuck me, harder,” I whispered. “Take me hard, I'm all yours.” **** I've loved my stepbrothers from afar. Being their cute little sister, they never treated me as anything more than such. I watched from the sidelines when they found their mate. I smiled like a fool while my heart was slowly being crushed by jealousy. I'm a human, so I couldn't be their mate. With that realization and the pain that came from seeing them with their mates. I left the pack, for the city, to complete my study. Five years later, I returned to the pack, to discover that my brothers' mate cheated on them, and rejected them. They were grieved, and I was the only one they could run to for consolation. I was determined not to let any woman take them from me. I will make my stepbrothers mine. Though they vowed never to fall in love, I was determined to show them that I'm the one for them, and have always been.

“I saved you, Shekina,” Azi appeared in front of me, standing tall as he looked down at me. “Now you live to serve me. Your life depends on me.”

I smiled back. “Serve who?” I winced when my vision spun.

“Can’t you just be glad I saved your life?”

I laughed. “I didn’t want to be saved.”

He froze but got himself together quickly. “Unfortunately, you’re still alive. And as long as you are, you’re tied to me. I decide when you’re free. As long as I have you, you have to do what I want. You are nothing but a pet of mine that I can get rid of anytime I want.”

Tears fell from my eyes.

“You turned me into a monster!” I screamed. “I’ll never forgive you.”

He tilted his head. “Monster?” he laughed. “Just because we drink blood doesn’t mean we’re monsters. And I don’t care if you don’t forgive me. Anyway, forget this dramatic talk. No matter what you do, you’ll serve me. You won’t die until I say so.”

With my last breath, I screamed, “You can have my life, not my choices, you beast! You can turn me into a monster like you, but someday you’ll regret it. You’ll regret that you saved me. You’ll regret that you met me!”

I sniffed… I couldn’t feel my body anymore.

“I have been living for centuries now, Shekina. That threat doesn’t work.”

I laughed even though I was confused, in pain, and angry.

“That’s because… you didn’t have me in those years.”

Alice and Robert belonged to important families, although they had known each other since they were children, they did not see each other again until they learned that they were engaged. Robert refused to marry her, as he neither loved her nor knew her. When Alice learned that Robert did not want that marriage, she was relieved, as she did not want to marry him either and loved another man, so she appealed to her parents to annul the engagement, but they refused, as if they refused it would seem that they were more important and powerful, so the Taylors had to honor that engagement. Everything went on until the day of the wedding and once celebrated, Robert vented his anger against young Alice for forcing him to marry her and not refuse as he did. But Alice tries to explain to him that she didn't want to marry him either, and even confesses to him that she loves someone else. But those words only make Robert angry, believing all the time that Alice feels superior to him and so he demands her to tell him who is the man she loves, but Alice can't tell him that, because he is Robert's best friend.

As the most cold-blooded and ruthless Mafia don, Twain Hall had doted on me like the apple of his eye for ten years.
But on the very day we were discussing our wedding, the ring his subordinate delivered had another woman's name engraved on it—not mine.
I pretended not to notice and turned to Twain.
"Did they bring the wrong ring? Who's Dorothy? I've never heard of her."
Twain's expression didn't change. He pulled me into his arms with that familiar, indulgent look.
"My people weren't careful. Made a fool of themselves."
"I'll have them exchange it right away. Can't keep my queen waiting."
I smiled. But the moment I turned away, my face went cold. I dialed a number.
"Didn't you say you'd pay any price to marry me? Twain Hall betrayed me. I want his head!"

“What are you going to do with him? Take him back???" Brion demanded, his gaze incredulous. "Take him back?" I scoffed, a smirk coming over my face as I stared at the picture in my hand. "I have no plans to do that, BRION. I want him to fall for me, then push him down like he did to me. I want to make him feel the pain I passed through in his hands." I got to my feet and threw the picture on the floor. "It's time he dances to the tune of his music," I gritted out as I stomped hard on the picture. *** A loveless marriage wasn't part of Nova's plans for the future, but a one-night stand with a stranger changed her life forever.

Sapphire.

I despise him, truly despise him. Yet, there was a time, in what feels like another era, when I loved him so intensely that life without him seemed unimaginable. He was my oxygen; I craved him. I believed I would wither away without him.

Why wouldn't I? He swore eternal love, comparing it to the enduring stones of the pyramids. Massive, resilient, standing for centuries against rain, shine, or sandstorms. I constructed my dreams on those stones, envisioning children playing and a Christmas table surrounded by laughing grandchildren.

But he lied.

In one cruel move, he betrayed me, shattering my beautiful dreams into a million pieces. Now, the spiteful man has returned with an indecent proposal. I won't accept it. Never, even if my body yearns for his lips, mouth, hands, skin...

No, Zade.

You might be the most attractive man I've ever seen, but I won't give you a second chance to destroy me.

Born into the notorious Mancini family, I’ve been called the "New York Princess" since day one. But forget the fairytale – I'm more like a devil in disguise. I smile when needed, make snarky remarks on cue, and mostly follow my dad's orders.

My dad is a feared mob boss in New York. In our world, power rules, and death is the only escape. I'm just a pawn in this dangerous game. My dad has arranged for me to marry Giovanni Romano, heir to the New Jersey mob, to uphold traditions.

But I refuse to marry an enemy. I won't be trapped in a life with him. I am Valentina Mancini, and I won't let my family’s bloodline be ruined. Instead of love, I offer Giovanni vengeance and bloodshed.

Will I escape this fate? Can I stand up to my powerful father? What will happen to me and Giovanni? Will our story end with a happily ever after or will tragedy strike?

I cleared my throat. "I uhmm..I am not his girl..’’ Ethan interrupted me and smiled warmly at me. "I know. She's very talented. I'm blessed to have her in my life." My eyes widened. What the hell?

Oh yeah, I almost forgot that I was his 'girlfriend '. Why did I even agree to do this? I rolled my eyes and placed my hand in his. Oh no, this is not good. My stomach tickled as he intertwined our fingers. The ticklish feeling in my stomach. I knew exactly what it means, it was the so-called butterflies in your stomach. Oh god, help me!

Nicole Vargas was the daughter of a well-known artist and the CEO of 'The Vargas' hotel and casino chains, she wanted to New York where she could fulfill her dreams, but her dad ordered Ethan Gray to company her in there. He couldn't stand her tantrums and drama. And she wasn't willing to change just for him. Things are getting more interested when Nicole is living in his mansion located in the New York City…

Ayla:

I grew up shielded from the Mafia lifestyle... until a merciless killer got his eyes on me.
Alessio Razone. Mysterious, intense, and ruthless. A decade my senior, with enough influence to bind me in an arranged marriage from which there's no escape.
His demand for obedience is startling. I'm treated more like a possession than a spouse. Yet, why does his rough, possessive demeanor feel oddly fitting?
With each surrender, I sink deeper into darkness. Unveiling desires I never knew existed.
Desires I should resist.
It would be simple to surrender. But if I relent, will he shatter me?

Alessio:

Ayla's innocence is a blank canvas, and I'm determined to leave my mark. Indelibly.
The offspring of our family's greatest adversary, she's mine to shape however I please.
She'll submit to me, or I'll annihilate her.
I'm too damaged for love, but I'll relish in molding Ayla into my obedient plaything. When she complies, I'll ignite her passion. When she defies, she'll face consequences.
Our union is nothing more than this. She's my fixation, but she'll never truly comprehend me.
If I allow Ayla to glimpse behind my façade, she'll discover my true self.
And that would spell ruin for us both.

But HE can never forget about HER.

I was a god damn business man. Business deals, contracts, name them and I could all arrange them effortlessly. No hesitation. No second thoughts.

And suddenly she came into my world. A angel who is pure and dangerous.

I was afraid. Afraid of her not belonging to me.

Afraid of losing her.

Afraid that this love is only one sided.

And that suffocates me.

Amari Vasilios, the CEO of the fast growing Advertising Company in California, got her heart broken by her best friend five years ago.

She had to go home. She had to go back to New York and attend the wedding.

Attending the wedding means seeing him again.

Attending the wedding means seeing the person she had successfully avoid for five years.

"How could you?" My voice was filled with sadness. The pain hurt deeply, and it felt like the trust we had was falling apart.
"I didn't mean to, Lily," Leon said, his voice shaking. "Come on now baby. We haven't exactly done it lately."

VANESSA-

Vanessa Vargas is juggling three jobs, trying to pay off a debt her mother owes to a man. Her mother is addicted to gambling, cocaine, and alcohol and lives with her boyfriend, making it difficult for Vanessa to manage the bills.

SPADE-

Spade Maverick sends frequent letters to collect money owed to him, and Ms. Katelyn Vargas owes him a significant amount. As the King of Vegas, he runs a massive casino and demands the money back. When Vanessa's payments start decreasing, he insists on meeting her in person in Vegas to settle the debt. He is determined to get his money back, one way or another.

"Pull the trigger!" I said.
I felt my muscles getting tired, my pain fading, my judgment clear. I just couldn't do it. I realized I couldn't pull the trigger. I couldn't kill him.
"I hate you!!! You manage to make me forget the hate I feel for you, you make me weak, and I despise it. Just shoot me alread-" I said, but I didn't finish my sentence.
It took me quite a while to realize what was happening. He didn't shoot me. He was kissing me. It was an angry kiss; he was trying to win me by kissing me. I tried to pull back, but my feelings betrayed me.
I kiss him back. We were both fighting for dominance, but he won, and I felt him smile. We continue to kiss and bite each other's lips for a few moments before we pull back trying to catch our breaths.
"What does a man have to do to make you shut up?"-he says, his lips were sullen, and they looked hot.
"You don't."-I say still breathing heavily.
He grabs me by my waist and bring me closer to him, my heart threatening to get out of my chest.
"From what just happened I'm pretty sure you would like to think your answer."-he whispers.
"Why don't you do it again and we'll see what happens..."-I say and so he does...
"Even in a room full of art, she was the only masterpiece I was looking at."


She embodied the persona of the Devil in high heels, a savior for bloodshed, a toxic and perilous force. Her eyes blazed with fire, and her heart harbored poison; love and concern were foreign concepts to her. Money and power were her sole pursuits, and she was as seemingly harmless as a hungry panther.
Her mantra was to kill and conquer, devoid of love or any emotional attachment—a true Femme Fatale. Her middle name was synonymous with danger, a fact well-known to all, yet men found themselves inexplicably drawn to her.
However, her allure meets its match when she encroaches upon the wrong territory. Raven King believed she could emerge victorious here, but she underestimated the domain of Alessio Madrigal.
The reigning monarch of his territory, Alessio is a boss, a ruler, feared by the police, and obeyed by all. That is until a malevolent woman defies his rules and commits murder within his domain. Now faced with the challenge of dealing with her, Alessio must decide how to eliminate a woman who infuriates him while simultaneously offering a strange sense of peace when she's in his presence.
Will Raven triumph, or will she lose something far more valuable than money in this power struggle?

What the hell is going on?

Hiding my baby from my brother's best friend felt like the right choice, until I found out I was pregnant once more. Despite my brother's warnings to stay away from his arrogant friend, I should have heeded his advice. The jerk ghosted me after I got pregnant, and to avoid any confrontation, I kept my daughter a secret. Fate had different plans as Lorenzo Kensington, dominant and irresistibly attractive, reenters my life. Resisting his tempting lips and chiseled body proves challenging, and one passionate night leaves me in disarray. When he discovers our daughter shares his features, panic sets in. My instincts urge me to escape, but there's a complication – I'm pregnant again.

They promised to protect me from their violent world… but who will protect my heart from them?

Every night, three mafia enforcers come into my bar. They’re too dangerous to get close to, yet impossible to ignore.

When the bar is held up, Rocello, a powerful and deadly man, saves me. No one’s ever protected me like that before.

Rocello’s fierce protection and his gentle side as a single father make me feel safe. Jumaine’s calm, precise nature melts when he’s with me, and Slade’s reckless passion leaves me breathless.

As I uncover a plot against me, they pledge their protection. But as our passion ignites, I realize my ties to their world run deeper than I thought. And my life spirals into chaos when I see two little lines on a pregnancy test.

"No, I want to go to New York without being under someone's watch. And I don't think Mr. Gray will appreciate my presence. Right Mr. Gray?"
Ethan chuckled lightly. "It's Ethan for you, Nicole. And I already approved your father's idea."
"What?!" I yelled out unbelievably.


Nicole Vargas.
Spoiled, rich, smart, and melodramatic. She graduated from Fashion Design in Brazil and was the daughter of a well-known artist and the CEO of 'The Vargas' hotel and casino chains. She could get anything she wants at just the snap of her fingers. Even her career.
But she didn't. And she wouldn't take advantage of her parents' position in society. Instead, she wanted to be successful on her own. But her father didn't want to let her go all the way to New York where she could fulfill her dreams. For him, she was still a little girl.

Ethan Gray.
Insanely handsome and a mouthwatering specimen. Ethan Gray graduated from Business Administration in England. After he graduated he took over his uncle's business and instantly became the richest and youngest CEO in England. After so many years he returned to Brazil to visit his parents and attend the yearly elite ball. After that, he would go to New York to expand his business and would stay there for a year.
But, things turned a little bit different.
He didn't go to New York alone. Instead, he had the daughter of Santiago Vargas with him. The most annoying, dramatic, but absolutely beautiful girl he had ever met.
He couldn't stand her tantrums and drama.
And she wasn't willing to change just for him.
What will happen between them? Read to find out.

A surprise baby from a passionate night with a billionaire? Check. Six years of silence? Check. But now, he's back in my life, not as a lover but as my boss and fake husband.
Axel, the walking distress signal, is a brooding, controlling billionaire who's married to his restaurants.
Reconnecting with him has plunged me into a world of chaos, but the real bombshell is that I have to play his wife to save his empire.
As I linger in his embrace, it's becoming harder to resist the allure. However, with every stolen moment, the risk of losing everything I've fought to protect grows. Will I give in to temptation, or will my secrets bring about our downfall?

Slipping into a faux engagement with the one man who still haunts my midnight fantasies? That's the kind of reckless decision that sends shivers down my spine—and it's exactly the offer Jason Shane, my new boss and former high school flame, presents to me. I'm the one who accidentally encounters his smoldering gaze and sculpted physique in the men's locker room, where the steam isn't just from the showers.

The chemistry? It's as palpable as the droplets running down his toned chest. The proposal? A seductive plot to parade as his betrothed to dazzle the company's higher-ups. The payment is generous, tempting, and utterly scandalous. With a racing heart and a whispered "yes," I find myself swept into a world of intoxicating luxury and sinful playacting.

But this retreat is no ordinary affair. Each feigned caress is laced with genuine longing, every pretend kiss laden with real desire. I'm caught in a dance of sensual deception, where every touch is a secret confession of yearning. As the lines between performance and reality blur, the man with the ruthless business edge shows glimpses of the tender lover from my past.

I keep telling myself it's all just a game, that the man who now commands boardrooms can't possibly offer the tenderness I crave. It's supposed to be easy to leave the fantasy behind when the masquerade ends. Yet, with every stolen embrace, I'm left questioning whether this act of passion could lead to a love that's all too real.

I'm stepping into a story where fiery old passions ignite amidst a high-stakes game of love and pretense, testing the boundaries between the facade and the heartfelt. Can I play the part without falling for the man behind the mask?

It may be late when Silas realises two things: The real monster isn't the woman in his bed. The deepest stabs come from those who share your name.

Does the truth set them free, or bury them both?

"Do you think you can walk into my bed, throw your body, and virginity to me as a distraction—steal from me, and get away with it?"
"Pl-please let me go, sir. I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know anything about any chip. I'm begging you," Olivia cried painfully.
Nero's hand left her hair and came to wrap around her slender, fair neck. 
He remembered peppering lots of kisses on this swanlike neck but would not hesitate to snap it if she continued in her attempt to fool him.
"Think very carefully about the next answer you're going to give me, because I would snap your fragile neck like a fucking twig if it's not satisfactory to me."


Olivia crossed paths with the ruthless mafia boss, Nero, on the day she planned to elope with her boyfriend, after her mother forced her to join the convent. She had no idea that she had left with more than his jacket. 
She escaped with a chip that contained the secrets of his business empire and his heir in her womb. Olivia is kidnapped and taken to Italy and into a world she never imagined... filled with danger, betrayal, lies, and death. 
Truths become lies and lies become the only true thing in the world of and Nero. 
Will love and trust ever be enough when survival and truth is paramount?
