Jordyn Windslow never expected a trip to Sicily for her sister’s wedding to put her directly in the path of one of the most feared men on the island. Ares Russo is dark, controlled and impossible to read. The kind of man who walks into a room and changes the atmosphere without saying a word. Jordyn knows almost nothing about him, only that people seem to lower their voices when he is near, doors open without question, and no one is ever brave enough to tell him no. What she doesn’t know is why. Known in the underworld as “Il Mietitore”—the Reaper—Ares built a reputation on blood, fear and silence. Violence, vengeance and death are all he has ever really known. Until Jordyn. She is everything he has no business wanting. Beautiful, stubborn and far too innocent for the darkness surrounding him.

Falling for her was never part of the plan. As danger closes in and long-buried secrets begin to surface, Jordyn starts to realise the man she has fallen for is hiding far more than she ever imagined.

And once Ares decides Jordyn is his to protect, there is no line he won’t cross to keep her safe. Ares Russo may have tried to leave the Reaper behind, but some monsters never truly disappear. He vows, for every tear Jordyn sheds, someone will bleed. And Sicily is about to remember exactly why they called him the Reaper.

Two years ago, a car explosion outside an expensive restaurant in Guadalajara left behind ash, and DNA evidence confirming the death of Xitllali De La Rosa. The world believed the submissive, quiet wife of the city’s most brutal mafia enforcer was gone forever. In reality, Xitllali planned her own death, and she fled into the misty highlands of Chiapas, changed her name, and started over. She opened a small floral shop and tried to build the quiet life she'd always wanted. For two years, it worked. Until the afternoon the bell above her shop door rings, and the ghost of her past steps inside. Guillermo, the husband she ran away from, came before her. She was expecting a bullet to the heart for abandoning the cartel, but she got really surprised when the most feared man in Mexico drops to one knee, slides a gun across the wooden counter, and lowers his head. He knew she faked her death. He let her run. And for twenty-four brutal months, he burned the entire underworld to the ground, slaughtering every person that wanted to hurt her. He didn't come back to kill her. He's here to ask for a second chance.

He took her in the dead of night. Her father owed a debt he could never repay so Dante Ferrara took something far more valuable than money. He took HER. Serena Vance. Sheltered. Untouched. Ripped from her bed and locked inside his world with no way out. She wept. She fought. She begged. He didn't care. She would wear his ring. Carry his name. Warm his bed. And when he was done using her to destroy her father, she would have no one left to run to but him. That was the plan. He never planned to WANT her. He never planned for her to crawl beneath his skin and take root there, twisting herself around the blackest parts of him until he couldn't tell where his darkness ended and his need for her began. She was supposed to be his weapon. She became his only weakness. And in his world, weaknesses get people killed. *Dark. Addictive. Utterly consuming. For readers who love morally grey heroes, forced proximity, and an enemies-to-lovers slow burn that sets the page on fire.*

I never planned to marry him. Especially not a man like him. The arrogant, ruthless Mafia Lord who owns half the city and destroys anyone foolish enough to cross him. But when my family’s lives were threatened, I had no choice but to become his bride. Not for love. Not willingly. But to survive. Now I’m trapped in his deadly world, a world where guns are treated like toys, blood stains every secret, and danger hides behind every smile. And at the center of it all is him. Cold. Possessive. Merciless. A man whose touch burns hotter than fire and whose enemies never live long enough to beg for mercy. He swears I belong to him now. That I’ll never escape. That every part of me is his to claim. But the more I fight him, the more dangerous our attraction becomes. Every kiss feels like war. Every touch pulls me deeper into his darkness. Yet I’m hiding secrets of my own. Secrets powerful enough to destroy his empire from the inside out. And when the truth finally comes to light, the man who vowed to protect me may become the one who ruins me. This marriage was supposed to save my life. Instead, it may be the very thing that kills me.

She was born in a cage. He offered her a golden one. 19-year-old Amara Leone has spent her life under the rule of her brutal uncle, leader of a small but ruthless mafia branch.

One night, after finishing her shift, Lena takes a shortcut home. She sees a black SUV parked in an abandoned industrial lot. Then she sees a man being dragged out. She watches Damien shoot him. She runs before anyone sees her. Or at least, that's what she believes. The following morning, strange men begin appearing around her. Outside the hospital. Near her apartment. Across from the club. At the grocery store. Lena becomes convinced someone is following her. She's right. But what she doesn't know is that Damien has known about her since the night of the murder. He could simply eliminate her. Instead, he discovers something unexpected: she hasn't told anyone. Not the police. Not her friends. Not even the doctors caring for her father. And when someone inside Damien's organization suggests killing her, Damien refuses. Because there is another solution. Marriage. If Lena becomes his wife, her testimony becomes considerably harder to use against him. So Damien gives her a choice that isn't really a choice: Marry him, and her father will receive the best medical care money can buy. Refuse, and Damien can no longer guarantee either of their safety. Lena despises him. Damien expects her to fear him. Neither expects to fall in love.

~ SORA HELL MORGATHOR ~ Since my appointment to the throne, my cousin on paper has fully embraced the role of archnemesis, dedicating every breath to my downfall. He is a walking tantrum in a tailored suit, still crying about a crown that was never going to fit his head anyway. My life wasn’t perfect, but ever since I was adopted into the Hell Morgathor family, staying alive has become a full-time hobby, mostly because every move I make is now at the mercy of men who treat human lives like disposable currency. It’s nice to know I’ve brought the city together; apparently, having me in charge is the only thing everyone can agree is a terrible idea. My cousin on paper views me as the ultimate gatekeeper, Largely thanks to the fact that I have the audacity to keep breathing while he wants my chair, treating my pulse like a personal insult to his resume. ☠️☠️☠️☠️ ~A-JUN HELL MORGATHOR ~ All I want is my family to stop being a shadow. A woman carries the family name, whereas my father is subjected to being the underboss. As if things aren’t bad enough, an adopted female child is coded to be the next Don, and she had the guts to accept the offer. I was fully prepared to end her life, but I was suddenly struck by lightning, or maybe it was just her impeccable skincare routine, and I decided to let it slide, distracted by her face and forgot why I was even holding a weapon. I'm currently temporarily blinded by her sheer audacity to be that gorgeous while I’m trying to work. But until when will I be distracted?

They sold me before I even knew I was for sale. My father owed the Rossi family a debt he couldn’t pay, and I was the only currency worth enough to save him. By sundown the next day, I was married to Damiano Rossi in a chapel full of armed men, his hand around mine, his voice low enough for only me to hear when he told me I belonged to him now. The estate I moved into isn’t a home. It’s a cage dressed up in marble and gold. Every wife before me disappeared behind these walls and never came out again. And my husband never bothers locking a single door, because he doesn’t need to lock away something he already owns. I thought surviving him would be the hardest part. I was wrong. A rival family believes my blood still owes them a debt written in violence, not vows. A man from my mother’s past resurfaces with a fortune built for exactly this moment, and a claim on me I never knew existed. And somewhere underneath Damiano’s cruelty is a man who took a bullet for me before he ever admitted he wanted me at all. I told myself I would never fall for the man who stole my choice. I was wrong about that too. Then I found out I was carrying his child. There’s no running from a war. There’s no running from a husband who owns half the city. And there’s no running from the one thing I never expected to feel for him.
