Ignite Melanie Harlow 소설 & 이야기

*Synopsis: The Rebirth of the Mafia Queen* Caterina Moretti died at 22 in a red silk gown, betrayed by her husband, her consigliere, and the alliance she trusted. She was shot in her own family’s ballroom, a casualty of a war she was too soft to win. She wakes up at 19. Three years before her marriage to Luca Vale. Three years before her death. Same name, same family, different rules. This time, Caterina remembers everything. Refusing the Vale engagement, she moves first. She burns the evidence that would have been used against her, allies with the Russian Bratva for control of the Naples port, and puts her own people in place. Her decisive, ruthless moves shock the Moretti family and ignite a war with the Vales. In the chaos, Matteo Russo appears. Son of a rival family, he should be her enemy. But he remembers her death too. He was two days too late to save her last time. In this life, he isn’t. He becomes her shadow, her shield, and eventually the one person she lets close. To secure peace, Matteo enters a paper marriage with Anya Orlova, cousin to the Bratva leader, while forming a fragile, loyal triangle with Caterina. Over months of blood, betrayal, and strategy, Caterina dismantles the Vales piece by piece. She exposes traitors in her own house, survives assassination attempts, and takes control of the city’s ports, money, and power. When her father steps down, she claims the title of Don. No longer the girl who waited to be chosen, Caterina rules with precision. She builds a new kind of family with Matteo and Anya at her side. This is the story of a woman who died once, came back, and decided she would never die waiting again.

In a world ruled by ancient shifter packs, two women carry secrets powerful enough to ignite wars — or end them. Louve has spent years building walls around her heart. A fierce and determined member of the Star Crox Dynamite Wolves, she buried the most dangerous secret of her life — a fated bond with Lynx Cross, Alpha of Stone Peak, her family's bitterest enemy. Their forbidden love was forged in stolen moments and shattered by war, a conflict that stole her father and swallowed Lynx whole. She learned to survive. She learned to move on. Until he came back. Lynx's return tears open old wounds and ignites something far more dangerous than desire. With enemies stirring in the shadows of pack politics and her carefully constructed world unraveling, Louve discovers she is carrying Lynx's child — a secret that can no longer be kept. When her family uncovers the truth about her mate's identity, their grief explodes into fury. Convinced Lynx murdered their father and former Alpha, Alexander and the pack march toward all-out war. Louve is caught in the crossfire, fighting desperately to protect her mate, her unborn child, and the family she loves — before a devastating truth buried beneath years of rage finally surfaces too late. Running parallel is Selin, Louve's sharp-tongued best friend, whose ordinary life as a bartender in a neutral border town is shattered when panther shifters come hunting her for reasons unknown. Rescued by a mysterious Beta wolf, whose presence awakens something deep and undeniable within her, Selin begins peeling back the layers of her own identity — uncovering hidden abilities and a connection to the pack war that suggests her role in this world is far greater than she ever imagined. Two women. Two destinies. One war that will demand everything.

"Sign it." He said, stretching out the file. "I'm not going to sign that paper, Carlton." I felt vulnerable and scared. I turned to Carlton, and his eyes just cut right through me. Instantly, a huge lump formed in my throat. "I... I... don't..." Carlton's expression suddenly softened. He sat next to me and reached out to cup my chin gently. I felt a shiver run down my spine as his hand brushed against my skin. "I'm not going to hurt you or anything, I just need this. I won't use it against you." He said gently. I hesitated for a moment, staring into his eyes before I took the pen and file from him with trembling fingers. I signed where necessary and gave it back to him. He stood, kissed the top of my head, and head for the door, but stopped in front of my wardrobe, where the lingerie he had ordered to be brought to my room was. His eyes fell back on me, his lips thinning into a line. "That's the only relationship we have now, Good night, Samantha." He said and closed the door.

And Landon Hayes wants Tyler. *** “You—” he starts to say, but his voice catches. I see his pupils dilate, his lips parting as he tries to push back against what’s happening. I let the red flash in my eyes, just for a second, enough to show him who’s in control here. It’s not about scaring him—it’s about reminding him of the natural order of things. The way this has always been meant to go. “Submit,” I growl. He whines. It’s quiet, barely audible, but I hear it. His body betrays him for just a second, his knees wobbling as his head lowers, shoulders hunching in instinctual submission. His eyes flick away, and I can see it—the brief moment where his will cracks. And god, it’s intoxicating. That split second of submission is all I need to know that he’s mine. He might fight it, but his body knows. His scent tells me everything I need to know. It’s only a matter of time before he breaks completely, before he’s begging for it.

When I took a bullet for Theo Moretti, the bullet grazed my temple, compressing the optic nerve and causing blindness in both my eyes. He kneeled by my hospital bed, pressed the family crest to his chest, and swore: “Sophie, I will be your eyes for life. If I break this oath, may I die a horrendous death.” I believed him. However, the day my sight returned, I saw Theo through the bedroom door, naked on our marital bed with the maid, Isabella. He gripped her waist and thrust violently, his voice hoarse in a way I had never heard, growling, “Bella… you really are the most seductive woman in all of Sicily…” “Theo, who else besides me could satisfy you like this in bed? Divorce that blind woman already!” Isabella nibbled his earlobe. “After all, I’m the one who truly understands you.” “Wait a little longer,” Theo panted. “I need time… Don Lucas just handed me control of the docks. If I divorce now, I’ll be left with nothing.” Rare snowflakes rained down outside. I walked barefoot out of the estate in a thin nightgown and sent an encrypted message to my father. “Father, send someone to pick me up in three days. I’m coming home.” Don Lucas, my father, never expected that the boss he had personally promoted would dare betray his daughter. He replied with a single sentence: “For daring to betray you, Theo’s dead.” What I did not know was that this message would ignite a storm that would sweep across all of Sicily. In three days, Theo Moretti, the man I had risked my life for and I had personally helped rise to power, would lose everything he held dear, including me.
