Tempting my mafia brother -in-law: six months of sin
“Rule number one,” Dante said, his voice a low, lethal purr that ran straight to my core. I stared at his gray eyes like a helpless doe at the mercy of a wolf. Defenseless yet willing.
Standing tall and imposing in his black dress shirt and black jeans, he looked like a sin I hadn’t yet committed and one I was bound to commit. Willing to commit.
I swallowed, staring at him. I could leave, he wouldn't care if I did, but desperation and something I couldn't mention pinned me here.
“With me, there is no romance, no kissing, no nice words, and definitely no love,” he continued, taking slow, predatory steps toward me
Six months. Six rules. One forbidden temptation.
Julianna Russo is six months away from marrying Alistair Marchetti, heir to one of New York's most powerful mafia families. There's only one problem, Alistair believes she's the sexually experienced woman he craves.
But she isn't.
When a desperate lie traps her in an engagement she cannot escape, Julianna turns to the one man dangerous enough to help her survive her wedding night. Dante Marchetti, Alistair's elder brother, the exiled son and the man who broke her heart three years ago.
Dante agrees to teach her everything she needs to know before the wedding. But every lesson brings them closer, their secret arrangement threatens exposure and every stolen moment risks starting a war inside the Marchetti family.
As old betrayals resurface and buried truths come to light, Julianna must choose between duty and desire. Between the man she is supposed to marry… and the man she never stopped loving.

Chapter: The perfect baitChapter 41Julianna's POVI didn't sleep. I couldn't.I sat on my bed, my thighs against my chest. I was wide awake and stared at my reflection in the mirror all night.Every tiny creak of the floorboards outside my bedroom sent a jolt of panic straight to my heart. The note sat on my nightstand, the smooth handwriting staring back at me every time I ran to look at it to see if it was real.I wonder what your fiancé would think if he saw you right now.It was real. It was so very real.By dawn, my eyes were burning, and my skin felt cold and clammy. I managed to get a hot shower and dress up, shoving the note deep inside the inner pocket of my coat, but no amount of concealer seemed to hide the hollow darkness beneath my eyes.A soft knock at my bedroom door made me jump from my seat.A maid came in. “Good morning miss. Mr. Marchetti is here to see you.”My head snapped up immediately. Why was he here so early? Did anyone see the note before me? Did someone tell him? I was becoming

Chapter: Duty or desireChapter 40 Julianna's POV Dante pulled back first. He set his forehead against mine a moment longer, as if needing the physical contact to steady himself before letting go. When he finally straightened, his expression closed off—the walls rebuilding themselves brick by brick. I hated when he did that. "I shouldn't have done that." His voice was rough, barely audible above the quiet of the night. My chest constricted. How could he kiss me like that and then distance himself so quickly? "Tell me who they are. You have don't have to. But I need to know that I'm not sleeping with someone else's husband or boyfriend." The word barely left my lips. My Dante... someone's husband? The thought made my knees go weak. Dante was a very private man. If he had a family somewhere, nobody would know. "I can't." He dragged a hand through his hair, his jaw tight. "Not yet. It isn't only my secret to give." “Of course.” A small smile appeared on my face. I wanted to press him. I wanted to sh

Chapter: Three years and still youJulianna's POVI didn't remember deciding to walk. One second I was standing in that room with a stranger's picture in my hand and lace fabric burning my fingers, and the next I was already halfway down the staircase, my legs moving on instinct while the rest of me stayed frozen somewhere upstairs.I found him on the back terrace, a cigarette between his fingers, the smoke curling up into the evening air. I paused. I hated the smell of cigarettes, Dante knew that."You're smoking again," I said, my voice thinner than I wanted it to be.He turned, and something flickered across his face when he saw mine. Guilt. "Julianna.""Why did you actually start?" I asked, before he could say anything else, needing the small question before I could manage the bigger one. "The real reason."He studied me a long moment, the cigarette forgotten between his fingers. Then he looked down and his face crumpled when his eyes found the thong and the picture in my hand. "Julianna let's sit and….""No." My h

Chapter: Red flagsJulianna’s POV “Dante–” my voice was so small, laced with need. I gripped the edge of his desk tightly as he ran the gun along the seam of my panties, pressing just enough to feel the dampness already soaking through. I swallowed battling with my own arousal while Dante's face remained completely composed and in control of himself. The hard-on straining against his pants was the only proof that he wanted this as much as I did.The metal slid over my slit, parting my folds through the fabric, and I bit back a moan. "You're wet," he observed, his voice flat. I almost moaned at the timbre of his voice and look in his eyes. This man wanted me, no matter how hard he tried to hide it.“Yes" I gasped.“From the gun or from me?" I couldn't answer. My throat had closed around any words I might have spoken. He pressed the barrel more firmly against my clit, circling slowly. The pressure sent sparks racing through my nerves. My hips jerked forward involuntarily, seeking more friction, a whimpe

Chapter: Forbidden pleasuresForbidden pleasuresJulianna’s POVBy seven thirty, Amelia was standing in the middle of my bedroom with her arms folded, staring at me like I had offended her. “You're seriously doing this?” she asked.I slipped my earrings into place and glanced at her through the mirror. “Doing what?”“Sneaking out at night to meet the man who has spent the last twenty-four hours confusing you, infuriating you, and hurting you.”I turned around and tilted my head. “When you put it like that, it sounds terrible.”“Because it is terrible.”I laughed despite myself, despite the way my fingers trembled slightly as I fastened my bracelet. I hated that Amelia could see how nervous I was. I hated even more that I couldn't explain it away. This wasn't simply another lesson with Dante. Not after last night. Not after the way he'd looked at me before everything between us had fallen apart again.Amelia sighed and crossed the room, lowering her voice. This was the first time she was telling me what she actual

Chapter: Three hours to midnightJulianna's POV"Dante handles what he's assigned, Julianna." His voice had gone clipped, controlled. He didn't look up from his ledger. "There are internal restructurings happening tonight regarding those routes. None of it concerns you. Focus on your obligations to Alistair." My mother and Simona arrived a moment later, sparing the table from the silence that would have followed that — a silence I didn't trust myself to sit inside of. I forced a bite of food down a throat gone dry, my attention drifting to the grandfather clock ticking in the corner. 8:52. Three hours until I had to sneak out and meet Dante at his lounge. I was still doing the math on how to survive those three hours when the dining room doors opened and a young housemaid stepped inside, tray clutched to her chest like a shield, her face bloodless. "Sir." Her voice cracked as she bowed toward my father. "Mr. Marchetti is here. He says it's an urgent matter. He's requesting to enter immediately." My father hadn'

His Forbidden Scarlett
“Tell me what you want,” he demanded, his thumb finding the sensitive peak of my left nipple and rolling it between his thumb and his fingers. More wetness pooled out of me. “Say it. Beg for it. I want to hear the words that have been choking you.”
"I want you… I want you to fuck me. I want to feel you inside me, to hear you groan as you take me. I want you to make me yours.”
To the world, Christian Marchetti is an untouchable Alpha.
But to Scarlett, he is her first temptation, her greatest heartbreak, and her ultimate enemy.
Scarlett grew up believing her family’s downfall was a tragic twist of fate, her mother died of an illness, and Christian Marchetti was simply the ruthless stepbrother who broke her heart and bought her like property.
But when a bloody night at the Thornecrest estate shatters the illusion, Scarlett is plunged into a world of wolves, dark bloodlines, and ancient secrets. Christian isn't just her cold-blooded, forbidden desire —he is the deadly Alpha of the Thornecrest pack. And She isn't just a human caught in the crossfire. She is his destined mate... and the bearer of the dangerous "Moon-Bound" bloodline.
As war breaks out between rival packs and the ghost of her mother's past comes to light, Scarlett realizes the biggest threat isn't the monsters at the gate. It's the Alpha holding her captive—a man who will burn the world to keep her, even as she vows to make him bleed for every secret he kept.
No more lies. No more locked doors. The beast thinks he owns her... but she’s about to bring him to his knees.
And yet still, she can't pull the trigger.

Chapter: The Alpha's poisonChapter 63Scarlett’s POVI woke up at eight to a cold, empty bed.The room still smelled faintly of the mist Nino brought into the room and the coppery scent from last night. My whole body ached. Sitting up slowly, my fingers immediately reached up to touch my collarbone. Right above the neckline, the four small, raised marks where his fangs had bruised my skin burned at the slightest touch.I breathed out, looking around the room. The look on his face after it all subsided came to my mind. He looked worse that disappointed at himself. Like he expected me to run from him. I was scared, I had always been scared of him even before I found out he could grow fangs in minutes and his eyes could change within seconds. But last night, I wasn't scared of him.But for him. What was happening to him? I refused to belived it was just another ‘werewolf stuff.’ Why didn't Nino go through that too?The door opened and Mrs. Gable, the head maid who had run Manor since before I was born, stepped ins

Chapter: My darkest instinctChapter 62Scarlett’s POVI read the note twice. Then the third time. But my mind refused to process it.The air grew thick, heavy, and suffocating, reeking of blood.Before I could turn around, the doors swung open.Christian staggered inside.He had stripped off his suit jacket. His dark shirt was unbuttoned at the top, clinging to his broad chest as it heaved with wet, ragged gasps. Underneath his skin, his bones were audibly popping and grinding, a horrifying, sickening sound of a shift forcing its way out."Christian?" I breathed, backing away from the fireplace.He didn't answer. He clamped a massive, scarred hand over the left side of his neck.Right beneath his ear, the curse mark Nino had told me about was burning a furious red. The raw wolf aura radiating off him was so dense. Dark, venomous veins spider-webbed up his neck toward his jaw, throbbing with every heartbeat. I shrieked back, terrified."Get... away..." he growled. But I wouldn't and I couldn't.The voice wasn't

Chapter: Only with youChapter 61Scarlett’s POV“Shut up.” The words left my lips almost immediately. “Suit yourself. But don't come to me wanting to know more.” Then he gave me an indifferent look and left. His words echoed in my head long after his limp carried him back toward the mansion.He won't recognize anyone. Not even you.Not even me. I stood frozen beside the fountain, watching Christian’s imposing silhouette just twenty yards away. His phone was still pressed to his ear, his jaw clenched tight as he growled commanding orders to his border guards. To anyone else, he looked invincible, a dark, unyielding man who ruled through sheer terror and brute strength. But to me, he'd always been just … Christian. The man I wanted to love me back more than anything else. Even now, despite everything.After he hung up and turned back toward me, my eyes went straight to his neck, right beneath his left ear.Even from here, hidden beneath his hairline, I could see the faint, feverish pulse vibrating under h

Every breath he took blew hot air over my collarbone, sending tiny shivers straight down my spine.I almost laughed.I blinked against the morning light filtering through the white drapes, suddenly remembering everything. The armory. The phone call to Chloe. The escape plan.I took a quiet breath, reached down, and tried to carefully lift his forearm off my stomach.It didn't budge. In fact, the moment I moved, Christian let out a dissatisfied rumble from the back of his throat. His arm tightened like a vice, pulling me even closer until my back was pressed flat against his broad, bare chest."Christian..." I murmured softly, squirming against his hold. "Let me go. I can’t breathe.""No," he growled sleepily, his voice gravelly and unboth

Chapter: Three days to escapeChapter 59 Scarlett’s POV Christian stayed on his knees, his forehead resting against my stomach, his hands holding my thighs like he was terrified the moment he let go, I’d turn to dust. My chest throbbed with pity. I hated the secrets he kept. I hated the walls he built around me. But seeing him like this, wrecked by the fear of hurting me, shattered the anger I’d been holding onto all night.I threaded my fingers through his dark, messy hair. Christian let out a shuddering breath against my skin at the touch. He didn't move, just let me gently stroke his scalp, grounding him as the last embers of his wolf’s wild fury receded. "Come on," I whispered softly, my voice cutting through the quiet room. "Get up." He shifted slowly, his eyes meeting mine as he rose to his feet. He towered over me again, broad and imposing, but his gaze softened. Without a word, he lifted me effortlessly, sliding his arms under my thighs and pulling me up against his broad chest. I instinctively wr

Chapter: Bloodlust and resolvesChapter 58Scarlett’s POVThe door slammed shut when Nino and Christian left, but the echo of his words remained.Her mother never died.

She was held somewhere in the territory of the Northern packs?What sort of absurdity was this?Unable to sit still, I pulled open the bedroom door. The corridor was deserted, lit only by emergency red wall sconces. Down at the end of the hall, near the top of the grand staircase, Nino stood leaning against the wall. His vest was off, his hands pressed tightly over a blood-soaked rag against his side.I walked down the hall, my bare feet making no sound on the runner rug.Nino’s head snapped up, his hand instantly dropping toward the holster at his hip before he realized it was me. He let out a breathless curse, leaning his head back against the wall."You should be in your room, Scarlett," he muttered, hi
