At Blackwell University, there are only two kinds of people-the ones who rule and the ones who kneel. Selene Lancaster has made it clear she'll never be the latter. Ice-cold, untouchable, and dangerously intelligent, she refuses to be another name in their twisted little games.

But then there's him.

Lucian Vale. Arrogant, ruthless, and sinfully irresistible. He walks through the halls like he owns them, like the world bends to his will. And now? He wants her.

What starts as a war of words turns into something far more dangerous-a game of power, control, and temptation laced with every stolen glance and reckless touch. He's everything she should hate, and yet, he's the only one who gets under her skin.

Because Lucian Vale doesn't ask-he takes. And when he whispers, "Run while you still can, sweetheart," Selene knows one thing for certain.

She's not running. Not from him. Not from this.

Because in the end, enemies make the best lovers-and the worst heartbreak.All Rights Reserved

A Dark Mafia Romance The first time Damien Volkov saw him, the world slowed to a whisper.

Luca, with his bright, intelligent eyes and that shy, hesitant smile? Luca, who had no place in Damien's world of blood and brutality? but would He would belong to him.? ---

She writes about him, not knowing her pen was the knife that was going to turn on her. Her life was anchored to the devil. The devil vowed to keep her as his. Will she survive his obsession? Zyler Stone, 27. They say the devil was once an angel. But this man taught tricks to the horn-headed beast himself. What happens when he falls for a girl he vowed to kill? He was supposed to kill her, but for the first time, his hands couldn't fire that gun. He couldn't kill her. Instead, he decided to keep her for himself. The devil went far for her, too far that she couldn't take it. Will she move to hell with him, or will he move heaven and earth for her? Despite his initial intention to silence her, Zyler made her his. Obsessed with every move she made, he watched from the shadows, consumed by a dark desire he couldn't control. As Autumn's life begins to spiral out of control, she realizes that there's no escape from the darkness that surrounds her. In this heart-stopping tale of danger and desire, Autumn and Zyler are pitted against each other in a battle for control.

Taste of Sin by NightTime_Storiexs

Ace Allister is a cunning and ruthless monster. Gianna Phoenix is a fiery and independent woman who will stop at nothing to destroy him for the murder of her brother. When they are forced into an arranged marriage for the good of their notoriously criminal families, their mutual animosity will spark into a fire that ignites their passion-or destroy them both. Gianna has one goal: get Ace to fall in love with her, and then kill him. Ace has another: get Gianna to fall in love with him, so she can't. And as they fall headfirst into a world of dark personal vendettas and murderous motives, the line between love and loathing begins to blur, until it becomes clear that saying "Till death do us part" wasn't just a promise-it was a threat. They say the course of true love never did run smooth; but in their case, it might just turn deadly.

THE DEVIL'S OBSESSION by singh2210

His voice low and dangerous, eyes locked on her, " you don't get it , do you, mi amor ? I don't care if you run, hide or push me away. You became mine the second I heard your voice , I'll burn down everything and everyone who tries to take you from me. Even you." ______________________💗____________________ A simple game of truth or dare was never supposed to mean anything-until Selene's voice reached the wrong man. Alejandro Cortez, a ruthless mafia king, doesn't believe in accidents. One call, one laugh, and now she's the obsession he never saw coming. Selene is the beat his heart refuses to skip for even a second-soft in all the ways his world is sharp, innocent in the face of his darkness. But when the devil decides he wants something, there's no turning back. And this time, he wants her.

Caged By Him by moonchild80

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage. Unfortunately for her, ruthless and cunning 26 year old Mafia leader and billionaire Tristan Black had other plans for her. He's been waiting for the perfect moment to kidnap her and finally make her his queen after 2 years of watching and stalking her every move.
