Café Rouge is the small french cafe that Lola's father has poured his heart and soul into. She'd never thought, he'd acquired it through...darker means. The Italian mob to be more precise. Now it's collection time and Lola's paying the price. Trading herself for her father's life-Lola finds herself in the hands of the incredibly frustrating, confusing and very good looking mob son's boss-Carlos. She's convinced that with Carlos there's nothing more than what meets the eye; a cold-hearted, killer but could she be wrong?

Warning: First chapter goes fast since it was taken from a One-Shot. I will be editing this along with the rest of the book much later so bear in mind the story does get better :)

In The Devil Hands by nenewritesometimes
4 parts Ongoing Mature
Imagine your father-a once honorable and loving man, now desperate and powerless-can no longer pay the unforgiving gambling debt he had stacked up for decades. And because he's unable to be that protective and respected father he once was, he sells his only daughter to a notorious Mexican gang leader as collateral just to save himself from death. As troubling as they may have been as a dream, that was the reality of 24-year-old Naomi Bennett. As soon as her birthday came around, she was bombarded with devastating news that she would no longer have control of her life. She was now owned by a random man due to an issue she had no association with, unable to escape or hide from his ruthlessness, conniving ways, and inhumane behavior. Since becoming the new leader of the Mexican gang, The Black Shadow, Santiago Alejandro de la Vega vowed to maintain that mysterious and demeaning atmosphere the organization has been carrying for years. He handled business as he saw fit: coldblooded, devious, haunting, and dirty. No one ever thought to play with him out of fear of what he could and would do if tried, except for one. A woman who was given to him as collateral, a hardheaded piece of property that angered every cell in his body and made his job more difficult than it had ever been. As badly as he wants to send her away to the mountains-avoid having to constantly deal with her attitudes and sass-Santiago finds her rebelliousness intriguing enough to keep her around. Emotions flare. Feelings emerge. Problems spark. The Devil holds rules and codes of conduct to keep himself and his team in line. Any rule broken is met with severe consequences. But he couldn't help but risk breaking one for her. Created: 12/31/21 Published: Ended:

Mafia, Mayhem & Maybe-Visions by Yimora_Alvy
10 parts Ongoing
Zia, a feisty Polynesian island girl with a secret ability to see the future, has found herself in the worst possible situation-sold into a high-end secret brothel in Italy, where foreign girls are auctioned off to the criminal elite. Luckily, the owners are keeping their "goods fresh," meaning she and the others haven't been touched. But time is running out. Then, she gets a vision: Jax Vinci, a devastatingly handsome CEO and one of the most feared mafia bosses alive, is about to storm in and burn the whole operation to the ground. Jackpot. That's her way out. With nothing but pure nerve (and let's be real-desperation), Zia sneaks out of captivity and straight into the VIP room of the dangerous crime lord himself, dropping the bombshell: "I know you're about to obliterate this place in an hour" Jax is unimpressed. Why believe a random, barely-dressed girl in the middle of a human auction? But Zia isn't backing down. "I'll be useful." She swears. Famous last words. Sure, Jax saves her-and the other girls-but let's get one thing straight: he's no knight in shining armor. Ruthless? Balanced on the razor-thin edge between calculated sociopathy and unhinged psycopathy? Zia is stuck with a man who treats emotions as an afterthought and intimidation like an art form. Surviving him is one thing. Keeping up? That's another. And falling for the dark brooding mafia boss who just might be worse than the monsters he destroyed? (Yeah... she's in trouble) (All characters and events in this story are purely fictional. Any resemblance to real people, living or dead, is purely coincidental.)
