Dante Russo

In the third year of my relationship with Dante Santoro, heir to the Santoro family fortune, I got pregnant. The night before the Don's birthday banquet, he finally brought me home as his girlfriend. Giulia Costa, the housekeeper's daughter, smiled sweetly and asked about my food allergies. I mentioned I was allergic to truffles. In the end, every dish at dinner was loaded with truffles. I swallowed my irritation and grabbed a slice of cake that looked safe. Two bites in, I heard her laugh. "I got creative and mixed truffle powder into the frosting. How is it?" Before I could answer, my throat closed up and I could not breathe. Giulia gasped and covered her mouth. "Ms. Leone, your skin is turning purple! Do you have some kind of contagious disease?" Everyone watched as I was carried out like trash. The moment my allergic reaction cleared up, Giulia insisted on helping me pack. I told her multiple times not to touch my ring. In the few minutes I spent in the bathroom, she "accidentally" knocked it down the drain. That was the wedding ring Dante gave me. I lost my temper and confronted her, but Dante just laughed it off. "She's jealous of your pretty ring. Don't be so petty." That night, Giulia brought sleep-aid drinks to my room as an apology. Dante convinced me to accept her peace offering. I drank a few cups and felt drowsy almost immediately. When Giulia walked me back to my room, I told her to lock the door behind her. Ten minutes later, a group of men shoved their way inside and beat my stomach until I miscarried. The baby was gone. Giulia's eyes filled with tears as she claimed she never saw anyone enter. She said I never wanted the Santoro family to have an heir and had orchestrated my own abortion. Dante went white with rage and ordered his men to dump me in the ocean. When I opened my eyes again, it was the night before the banquet.

"I will take her in exchange," Alpha Dante declared, and the ball room instantly quieted down, and all eyes turned to the said girl. Whispers filled the ballroom, although it was rather useless since everyone could hear them clearly with their heightened senses. Rhea, the object of discussion, stood there in tattered clothes, confused and seemingly lost. She never wanted to draw so much attention to herself, but here she was with everyone's eyes on her because of a single statement from one man. "I am sorry, Alpha Dante, you must be mistaken, that is not my daughter..." Alpha Collins said but was rudely interrupted by Alpha Dante. "She is the one I want,” Alpha Dante said coldly. “Give her to me or forget about our deal.” ***** Born a mix of blood, half vampire, and half werewolf, Rhea was neither considered a werewolf nor a vampire. Just someone who wasn't needed. Someone who shouldn't exist. Someone whose existence was an abomination. Her father's absence in her life and her mother's passing rendered Rhea homeless, nowhere to go, and no one to turn to. She is forced to fend for herself from an early age, serving as a maid in the packhouse despite being hated and scorned by all. Dante, an alpha whose path had always been painted Scarlet, cursed by the moon goddess, walked a lone and bloodied path. He never asked for a mate and never wanted one after all. He was cursed by the very entity their race worships. He never thought he needed one until he met her. For the first time, he felt his heart waver, his silent beast stirred in the presence of another and definitely not out of hostility.

“You can hide from anyone—but not from the devil who owns you.” There are choices that make us and others that break us. For Alessia Rivera, her worst mistake became her only way out. Alessia Rivera's world came crashing down the night she found her fiancé with her best friend in bed. Trust has been broken, humiliation dumped on her, everything ripped apart. But her family was concerned about power, not her pain. The marriage between her and Damon was politics, not love, and if she refused to play along, they would let her father rot in jail. One desperate night, Alessia sought escape in the arms of a stranger. A mistake. A secret. A fire that should not have happened. But Dante Moretti is not a man you forget. He is danger wrapped in a tailored suit, the kind of man people fear to whisper about. Cold. Commanding. Obsessive. And weeks later, Alessia learns the truth that rip her world apart: she is pregnant…And Dante is the father of her unborn child and he is also the mysterious new partner of her family’s empire. Now she is trapped in a cruel game. Marry the man who betrayed her to protect her father, or confess the truth to the devil who already marked her as his. To Dante, he doesn’t care about vows, rings, or the lies she hides behind. He wants one thing—her. And he will burn her world to ashes to claim what belongs to him. Because to Dante, love is not tender. Love is possession. Love is war. And Alessia is the only one that can quench this fire. The question is, how does one resist the devil who already owns her soul?

Dante Vitti n'est pas seulement l'héritier de l'empire criminel le plus redouté de la ville. Il est le "Bon Soldat". Une machine à tuer froide, impitoyable et hétérosexuelle, façonnée à l'image de son père tyrannique. Dans son monde, la faiblesse se paie par le sang, et être gay est la plus mortelle des faiblesses. Julian est le meilleur flic des stups de sa génération. Sa mission ? Infiltrer le clan Vitti, gagner la confiance de Dante, et le détruire de l'intérieur. Il pensait être prêt à tout pour faire tomber cette famille. Il n'avait pas prévu qu'une nuit d'ivresse et de regards trop insistants ferait basculer sa mission dans le chaos. Au réveil, le canon d'un Beretta est pressé contre sa tempe. Dante a l'arme, mais c'est Julian qui détient la vérité. "Tue-moi si tu veux, Dante. Mais ne me dis pas que tu n'as pas aimé ça." Pris au piège entre son devoir et un désir dévorant qu'il a refoulé toute sa vie, Dante propose un pacte du diable : Julian lui appartient désormais, dans l'ombre et le secret absolu. Mais alors que la passion devient incontrôlable et que le père de Dante se rapproche de la vérité, Julian réalise avec horreur qu'il n'est plus le chasseur... il est tombé amoureux de sa cible. Quand le masque tombe, qui tirera le premier ?

Isidora Moretti always appeared to be a chess player, overseeing her family’s massive enterprise and grappling with the city’s menacing mafia clans. Her father orders her to marry the Vescari heir, and she discovers that theirs is not romance that would involve love-it is of power and obedience. Declining could be her last word so she thinks of an escape-engagement, a lie she is betting would work. She teams up with Dante Romano,the boy who beats her every time in school. He is good looking, cold, smart and has chased the same deal she wants. He often mocks her stubborn ways and never offers real help. Still, he oddly agrees to act as her fiancé. The agreement sees only looks, no real feeling involved. It may mean just a clever contract. Business agreement looks clean, no feelings. But Dante seizes Isidora at the engagement party and kisses her in front of the city. Everything becomes upside down. Rivalry and obsession — everything seems to blur. Others soon witness Isidora as Dante’s Achilles’ heel. In another world, weakness is a weapon. Maybe they both have this tilt, not just one side. With threats growing closer-in business offices ,back alleys, and mob hits, both find they need to stand up together. As they fight, they come closer and closer, and each threat reduces the boundaries they’ve constructed between them on their feelings. As danger narrows in on Isidora, Dante’s left to contemplate the sacrifices he’ll make just to keep her safe. He’ll do anything he can to protect her, to make her his, even if it’s damaging everything in his path. In the end, the promises they’ve made, no matter how unserious, appear to be the only thing they can reasonably believe.

"Tell me, Barbie…" Dante’s voice was a dark caress, low and sinful as he caged me against the wall. His fingers trailed down my neck, slow and teasing, making my breath hitch. "Are you trying to run from us… or are you waiting for one of us to catch you?" I hated how my body reacted, how warmth curled between my thighs despite the warning bells in my mind. "You’re trembling," Dante murmured, his lips brushing the sensitive skin of my neck. Knox chuckled, his grip tightening. "You’re so soft, Little Moon. So easy to tease. Tell me…" His voice dipped lower, "Are you shaking because you’re afraid… or because you’re turned on?" A small gasp escaped before I could stop it. Adonis’s gaze darkened, his thumb dragging over my bottom lip. "We should punish her for trying to leave," he mused. Dante’s smirk was pure sin. "Oh, I have so many ideas." "We could tie her up," Knox added casually, fingers tracing slow, lazy circles against my hip. "Make her beg for mercy." Three ruthless Alphas. Her step-uncles. Her fated mates. In her past life, Adonis, Knox, and Dante Logan hated her—tormented her, rejected her, and cast her aside. She died knowing they had never loved her. But fate has given her a second chance. Now, she’s running before they realize the truth—that she is their mate. Because once the Logan Brothers find out? They’ll never let her go.

Desde que tenía dos años, Elara Vane se convirtió en el banco de sangre personal de su hermana gemela después de que a la niña le diagnosticaran un raro defecto genético. Los médicos predijeron que su hermana no viviría más allá de los dieciocho años, así que sus padres y su hermano la consintieron y la pusieron siempre en primer lugar en todo. Incluso culpaban a Elara, acusándola de «robarle» los nutrientes a su hermana en el vientre, afirmando que por eso ella había nacido enfermiza. En su vida pasada, nadie en la familia la amó. Solo su prometido, Dante, permaneció verdaderamente a su lado. Pero Elara nunca imaginó que el amor de Dante tenía sus propios planes. Y así fue, hasta que su hermana cayó accidentalmente por un acantilado y necesitó una transfusión completa de sangre. Dante firmó el consentimiento sin pensarlo dos veces, enviando a su prometida a la mesa de operaciones para que fuera la donante. Allí, mientras su sangre se drenaba y su conciencia se desvanecía, Elara juró que, en otra vida, ¡jamás volvería a ser la bolsa de sangre de su hermana! Y entonces, la próxima vez que abrió los ojos, estaba de vuelta en el día después de su compromiso con Dante…

Yo no era nadie, pero por tres años estuve enamorada de Dante, el heredero de la familia Blackwood, el apellido más importante de la mafia en Chicago. El día que supe que estaba embarazada, me sentí muy feliz. Me moría de ganas de darle la noticia. Pero entonces escuché a su hermano gemelo, Marco, preguntarle: —Hermano, ¿cuándo piensas decirle a Rose que yo me hacía pasar por ti cada una de esas noches en la cama? Dante habló con una dureza que nunca le había escuchado. —En una semana. En nuestra boda. Voy a revelar todo y luego le pediré matrimonio a Isabella. Isabella. La niña rica que siempre me hace la vida imposible. Así que todo esto era una simple venganza por su adorada Isabella.
