She the heiress to an empire and his darkest temptation.
He's a ruthless attorney and her darkest addiction.

Stella:
I've been wrapped in the dark world of corruption all my life, becoming a picture-perfect daughter. The reins to my life were in everyone's hands except my own. It was time for that to change. 

Starting with a stolen two million dollars. 
Robbing my family was my escape from an arranged marriage and I took my chances. But I never expected my father to hire one of New York's most dangerous men to find the culprit.

Rhys Romanov, the paragon of criminally intelligent. The bane of my existence. 
Rhys was a man with few morals and far too much power. A deadly lawyer and CEO with a devilishly handsome face to deceive this world.

From the moment we met, we succumbed to animosity. 
Rhys had more power and authority than anyone else and with limited options, I struck a deal with the devil. 

Everybody had a blind spot. Rhys was mine. Making him my darkest addiction wasn't part of the plan... because it could ruin me.

...

Rhys:
Power, wealth, and control were the things I chased and thrived on. With only enemies in this world, I held my cards close to my chest and stayed elusive; I kept my secrets and used everybody else's against them.

Running a tech company in the name of law, I ruled the world of corruption. 
But to lead this life, I lived by certain rules. Rules that one person dared to threaten.

Stella Almonte, the epitome of elegance and grace. She had the power to draw gazes to herself. Whispers of seduction dripped from her movements that only I seemed to notice. 

Stella was always charming but she was far more dangerous than a weapon. Stella was poison disguised in jewels and sparkling eyes. 
With a stolen two million dollars in her pocket, she was the culprit I never knew I was chasing. Until we struck a deal.

Everybody had a weakness and Stella was mine. She was my darkest temptation... and she could ruin me.

Amara Milano. The powerful and lethal. Tristan Harper. The heartless and deadly. Together, the two would be a force to reckon with. Unstoppable. Untouchable. Unbeatable. But hate had other plans. ... Amara: They say that revenge is an act of passion and vengeance of justice. With enough money, time and vengeance, anybody could be powerful and in this corrupted empire of New York, I was lethal. I spent my entire life seeking justice for everything that was taken from me and my morality quickly faded to gray. Despite that, nothing could have prepared me for a man as heartless as Tristan Steel Harper. But I never lost inside or outside a courtroom and I'd win this too, even if I had to fight for my life. What I never expected was the fire ignited between us and the twisted lies spun in this game. Because this fire could burn everything. Tristan: The need for ruthless control is insatiable and only someone heartless could control this corrupted empire. I was a man who relied on violence, revenge, and brutality to win every battle inside and outside the courtroom. I spent years trying to avenge what I lost and my morals quickly bled into the darkest shades of gray where weapons became my specialty. But I was unprepared for the lethal weapon that was Amara Ruby Milano and I gravely underestimated her. Nothing could stop me from taking my revenge on those who wronged me, even if the person standing in my way was her. Nobody warned me about her dirty little games and I never expected to fall into her trap. The one thing I knew was that her life always belonged to me and if killing Amara Milano was what it would take, then I would shatter her.

She feared the dark and escaped it. He ruled the dark and lived in it. Zarah: I've spent my entire life in the spotlight, living up to the facade of the perfect Romano Princess, turning a blind eye to the dark, twisted world of the wicked. Nobody ever saw through me... except him. Logan Ivan Markov, the paragon of morally gray; an intelligent criminal lawyer and agent. He was charming, deadly, and a devious manipulator sitting in expensive tailored suits, playing the part of an ethical and calculative attorney. Those who knew him knew the dangers of a man like Logan. But not me. He was a puzzle I couldn't solve, a message I couldn't decode, a mystery I couldn't unravel, the oblivion I chased. I knew from the moment I met him that we were destined to animosity, to stay far apart. But our bickering and fate had other plans. I never expected to get wrapped up in the dark world of corruption and billionaires; I never expected to need saving, but most of all, I never expected Logan to save me, let alone marry me. ... Logan: All my life, I've lived in the dark and twisted world of corruption, danger, and betrayal. Most people knew the life I came with. The murders, the money, and the brutality. Most people... except her. Zarah Amaira Romano was the bane of my existence from the moment I met her. She was the embodiment of chaos, someone who made me feel too much, someone I couldn't erase after a single night together. She could bring me to ruins if she tried. I knew from the moment we met that Zarah was more dangerous than any bullet or dagger to the heart, she was worse than any drug. I knew if I got too close, she'd be the fire that burned me. The oblivion I would crave. But when she became the key to all the secrets I spent my life trying to unravel, I knew what I had to do. I never expected to get involved with her again. She was too bright, too passionate... untainted. Until she became my wife.

******** "You like being tied up, don't you?" he taunts, his mouth near my ear. "So I can uncover every secret you keep buried. So you can pretend to resist when your body is begging for me?" "What are you doing?" I cry out, my voice cracking. "You said you'd only touch me if I wanted it!" His gaze sears into mine. "Your body does want it, love. More than you'll ever admit. It's my right-my duty as your soon to be husband-to give you what you crave." 18+‼️‼️ ******** In a crowded nightclub, our gazes lock across the chaos. One look is all it takes-his presence is magnetic, dangerous. Broad shoulders, eyes like a predator, and an aura that warns me he is not a man I should ever want. Yet I can't stop the way my pulse races. A week later, fate puts him in my path again at a glittering event. I should've turned away. Instead, I stayed-and saw the truth with my own eyes. I watched him end a life without hesitation. The mysterious stranger isn't just a man. He's the ruthless kingpin of India's most feared cartel. And once he notices me, his obsession is relentless. But I am not a bargaining chip. I will not be sold off to cover my father's debts. I will not be broken the way my mother was. So I run. Only he hunts what's his. And to him, I already am.

[CASTELLO DI CARTE MAFIA CHRONICLES, #2] [Formerly known as *Possession: The Game of Clubs*] 𝐑𝐎𝐒𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐄 What is worse than being forced to marry a man you've never even met? I'll answer it. Drinking with a man who's off-limits and sleeping with him just to prove a point. Plus points, if he's not the man you're supposed to marry. After one drunken mistake with the enemy, I swore to never entertain him again. But the next time we met, things turned a little too hot in the bathroom. He was the enemy, one I should've known better than to involve myself with, but I couldn't resist his unbreakable allure. His need for me kindled a spark that made me lose control and forget who I was. Sex was not the only reason. It was the way he softly whispered sweet words into my ears and the way he held me. It was the intensity with which he looked at me and made me feel desired. There was one tiny problem. His marriage was in four months. To the woman who called me her friend. 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐎 They say there's pleasure in tasting the things you cannot have. Forbidden passion has its own mind when deep-rooted inside someone. I never knew the depth of these words until I saw her-the woman desired by many but touched by none. She was the brightest pink rose in a sea full of white ones. She was covered in thorns, a boundary only I dared to cross because I had nothing to lose. Only, she wasn't mine, nor I, hers. Every moment we spent together reminded us of the reality meant for us. Some sacrifices are made for the greater good, but what good comes from leaving behind the one thing you never had and have finally found? She surrendered herself to me. Body and soul. Until the end of our agreement. So what if one of us wanted more in the end? What if the one was me?
