Elena Gilbert

As a child, Elena Carter witnessed the brutal murder of her father, a decorated detective, at the hands of men she believed to be part of the Mafia. That night, her world shattered, and she vowed to dedicate her life to avenging his death. Years later, she becomes a detective, determined to bring down the very criminal empire she holds responsible. Her mission leads her deep into the city’s underworld, where she goes undercover to get close to the ruthless and enigmatic Adrian Moretti, a powerful Mafia boss feared by many. Cold, calculated, and untouchable, Adrian is a man who trusts no one—but when he crosses paths with Elena, something shifts. She intrigues him. She challenges him. And, against all logic, he lets her in. As Elena gets closer to him, her resolve wavers. The man she was sent to destroy is not the monster she expected. But the deeper she falls, the more dangerous her web of lies becomes. And when the truth is revealed—that Elena is not only a cop but the daughter of the detective who was killed that night—Adrian’s world comes crashing down. But the truth runs even deeper than Elena ever imagined. The police force she serves is not as righteous as she believed. Her own agency orchestrated her father’s murder, framing the Mafia to cover up their own corruption. Now, the people she trusted want her dead, and the only person who might be able to protect her… is the man she betrayed. With enemies closing in from all sides, will Elena and Adrian fight for love, or will the past destroy them both?

Five years ago, Elena Carter made the hardest decision of her life. When Damian Moretti, the boy she loved, chose to step into the violent world of the mafia, she knew she couldn’t follow him. She had seen firsthand what that life did to people—how it swallowed them whole. So she walked away, leaving behind the only man she had ever loved. But Damian never saw it as an ending. "If we ever cross paths again, I won’t let you go." Those were his last words to her, a promise that haunted her every night.

Set against the backdrop of Rome’s elite underworld, Blood & Dynasty follows Leonardo and Xena DeMarcus, two rulers who build an empire through calculated strategy, ruthless ambition, and an unbreakable partnership. From the moment they take control of Rome’s power structure, they face relentless opposition—from whispered betrayals to direct threats, including the relentless pursuit of their downfall by Elena Vasquez and later Dominic Renaud, a Geneva-based strategist who attempts to dismantle their empire from afar. Through violence, precision, and unwavering control, Leonardo and Xena eliminate every obstacle, ensuring Rome bends to their reign and never rises against them again. But their legacy is more than just dominance—it is permanence, and that permanence is solidified through the birth of their heir, Orion DeMarcus. Faced with the impossible balance between war and family, they fortify their estate, strengthen their dynasty, and raise Orion to be a ruler as fierce and tactical as they are, ensuring the DeMarcus name will never fade. As years pass, Orion rises, taking command of the empire, expanding beyond his parents’ reign, proving that everything Leonardo and Xena built was meant to last long beyond their rule. And in the final reflection, as Xena looks back on their time together, she understands one undeniable truth: Power may shift. Empires may evolve. But the love between her and Leonardo—the fire that shaped their dynasty—will never burn out.

Some women are born to obey. She was built to survive. When Elena is kidnapped and delivered to the Romano mafian family, her fate is meant to be simple: obey or disappear. In a world where women are stripped, sorted, and owned, she’s told she’ll either be trained for pleasure… or forged into a killer. Elena chooses neither. Her defiance catches the eye of Matteo Romano—the cold, calculating heir to the empire. To the family, she’s just another wild girl to break. To Matteo, she’s a challenge. A weapon in the making. A fire he’s drawn to… even if it burns. Thrown into ruthless combat training with other women marked for bloodshed, Elena fights to stay alive—and stay herself. But as Matteo watches from the shadows, the line between power and desire starts to blur. In a world ruled by fear, family, and unforgiving men, trust is a death sentence—and falling for the boss might be the deadliest mistake of all.

A single night. A forgotten memory. A ring that bound two fates forever. When Elena David woke up after a drunken night with a mysterious ring on her finger, she had no memory of the man she had married or why. Betrayed by her fiancé and trapped by her father’s debts, Elena found herself working under a cold, commanding CEO who seemed to loathe her... yet whose touch felt achingly familiar. Lucas Blackwood had never wanted a wife. But with his mother’s life hanging in the balance and his position at Nova Media under threat, marriage had been his only salvation. One night, one stranger, one stolen vow—and she vanished without a trace. Until fate brought her right to his doorstep... as his employee. But Elena wasn't the only one unaware of her status. In a world where loyalty was bought and betrayal ran deep, Elena had to fight to uncover the truth—about her husband, about her past, and about the ruthless enemies determined to tear them apart. Because some vows were made in shadows... And breaking them could cost everything. He had married a stranger. Now he’d risk everything to keep her.

Damon spared him a glance before turning to me. “Do you want his head, little mouse?” Sabrina thought nothing could be worse than being deceived by the man she loved the most—until the day he shattered her world completely. “Elena is my mate, and I’ve deceived you this entire time. We recognized each other the moment she turned eighteen. Dating you was all a game my mate wanted, and it was fun taking part in it.” Heartbroken and betrayed, Sabrina believed she had hit rock bottom. But she was wrong. When her family and pack offered her as a sacrifice to the most feared Alpha in existence, she realized her nightmare was only beginning. *** Alpha Damon Blackthorn, a thousand years old beast cursed by the gods, a ruthless leader no one dared to defy. Yet, from the moment he laid his eyes on Sabrina, something snapped. Mate. His wolf yearned for her, yet she couldn’t recognize him. She was wolfless. *** Sabrina wanted an escape. Ever since she came to the blackthorn pack, something changed. It felt like she was hallucinating and was on the verge of going mad. She had crazy dreams. Dreams so vivid they bled into reality, warning her of what was to come. A connection between her and Damon simmered beneath the surface, dangerous, forbidden, and impossible to ignore. But the truth is far darker than either of them realize. Sabrina wasn’t just a sacrifice…she was the key to breaking Damon’s curse. And with war looming and ancient forces stirring, Sabrina must decide: escape and save herself, or embrace the darkness and risk losing her soul to the cursed Alpha who might just be her fate.
