Adriana DeLuca was born into power, protected by a name that should have made her untouchable. But no one is untouchable. Not when their family spills Bratva blood.

He should have killed her the second he took her. She will suffer for what her father did. She will beg. She will break.

But Adriana  doesn't beg. She fights. She smiles through the blood. She meets his cruelty with her own.

Cold. Calculated. Ruthless Maddox Volkov was raised in the heart of the Russian Bratva, molded into a weapon before he was even old enough to understand what mercy was. He's not just a leader-he's an executioner.

Adriana De Luca was supposed to be a pawn in his ruthless game-the key to ending the De Luca legacy. A spoiled mafia princess, a fragile thing meant to be broken.

But she is anything but tame.

Adriana is elegance wrapped in razor wire, silk hiding steel. She carries herself with the grace of a queen, but beneath the surface lies something far deadlier-a woman who knows exactly how to play the game. She fights with her words as sharply as she does with a blade, meeting his cruelty with a smirk, his punishments with silence, his rage with infuriating defiance.

Maddox should hate her. He does hate her. She's vain, venomous, and impossible to control. She drives him insane, twists his own mind against him. Every time he thinks he's broken her, she rises again-unshaken, untouched, laughing in his face.

She is his greatest mistake. His worst nightmare.

And the worst part? He doesn't want to escape.

They meet and attempt to help each other, no romantic feelings but life makes everything harder and they can't stay away from each other. ** There is a lot of mature content in this book and I will not be putting warnings before as it will be long: this includes, sex (between more than one partner), drug abuse, sexual assault and harassment, mental illness and others. Please do not read if you feel as though you will be triggered** He stalked his way towards her. No words were uttered. Pure lust evident in their eyes. He backed her into a corner, she was looking everywhere but him, she couldn't, she shouldn't. His hand toyed with the hem of her dress. He hesitated. His mind was racing with thoughts of how he shouldn't, he couldn't. Her heartbeat picked up, her breaths quickened, her body needed him. He saw the affect he had on her. Pulling up her dress, he saw she had no panties on. Enraged he wrapped his hand around her neck, choking her, making her look into his eyes. His other hand slid into her folds, she was soaking wet, just for him. She whimpered in response. She couldn't get enough. Her hips rocked back and forth along with his fingers. He added another. Yet to kiss her, he pushed the thought out of his head. Her body began to rock faster, causing moans to fall from her mouth. He bent down to her ear and whispered, "Perché non possiamo semplicemente stare lontani gli uni dagli altri belli?". (Why can't we just stay away from each other beautiful?).

I dreamed of him again last night. He came to me in his riveting form, dressed in the liturgical signature black attire. His dark hair slicked back, accentuating the alluring frame of his chiseled jaw, with the figure of a sculpted deity, just as I'd remembered him. His invigorating smile was seducing me, taunting me, reigniting the sparks that had been scuffled by the lingering absence of his affinity. His daunting eyes consumed me, staring, burning with the intensity of a thousand flames. His beguiling features were enticing, drawing me in, and I was falling deeper, further into his arms until he was drifting and faded away in the shadows. Mornings after were imbued with feverish yearning that waned throughout the day, leaving me to a dreadful emptiness, a void that failed to dissipate during the two years apart. It had been the longest winter without him. All Adriana wanted was to be free. But it came with a cost, one that she hadn't expected to so deeply regret. The very life that she had once tremendously despised was now what she craved the most. But things are different after being away, for she is no longer the helpless, vulnerable girl taken nearly two years ago by the man who now holds her heart on a thread. The man who made a promise. A promise that he couldn't keep. She remembers everything from the moment she was rescued from the claws of one evil to the nightmarish events that transpired in the hands of another. As her dark past collides with the present and her love for the ruthless Mob Boss is put to a test, Adriana has to confront the demons that were responsible for her ruin and make an irreversible decision that will seal her ultimate fate. This is the second book to Il Paradosso Mafia Series. #1 omerta #2 crimefiction
Under His Rule by strangeinsaan

Under His Rule. "You think you can handle me, Adrian?" Victor's voice was dark, a quiet threat wrapped in something dangerously enticing. His fingers brushed against Adrian's jaw-gentle, but unmistakably possessive. Adrian refused to back down. "I don't need to handle you, Victor. I'm ruling you." Victor smirked, eyes gleaming with something unreadable. "You should be." Adrian's pulse raced, but he met Victor's gaze head-on. His lips curled into a smirk of his own as he grabbed Victor's tie, yanking him closer until their breaths mixed. "You should be worried of me, too." Victor's expression flickered-amusement, intrigue, something darker. Then, he chuckled, the sound low and dangerous. "Is that right, sweetheart?" Adrian tightened his grip. "I don't share, Victor. If I'm yours... you're mine too." Victor gaze intensed, "Careful, Adrian. You might steal my title, I am proud of me being Psychopath, here." "I am not interested in being Psychopath, I am happy, Madman." Adrian smirked proudly. --- Adrian never wanted to be part of the mafia world, but when Victor Castellano's father forces him into a deal-one that traps him in a fake relationship with the infamous mafia heir-he has no choice but to play along.

What starts as a forced agreement quickly turns into something much more dangerous. The lines between fake and real blur, and as Adrian gets pulled deeper into Victor's world, he realizes one thing- He might not be afraid of , his brother's bestfriend, Victor.
