Mystic Ruins

DIANA SANTORO: Five years locked inside a convent. Not because I was holy. Because the family I was born into is dangerous. My name is Diana Santoro. Mafia blood. And in this world, daughters like me get hidden away until the war is over. Now my brother’s the Don. And he wants me back. The man he sent to collect me? Rocco Moretti. The most feared monster in Italy. The devil of Cosa Nostra. They say he pulls confessions out of men with his bare hands—then sleeps like a baby afterward. Three days on the road. Just us. He’s expecting some scared little nun-in-training, ready to be escorted quietly back to my gilded cage. He has no idea that the only innocent thing about me is this face. **** ROCCO MORETTI: Forty-seven men. That's how many I've killed. Tortured more than double that. Never lost a minute of sleep over any of them. So why does this girl—with her innocent eyes and that smart mouth—make me feel like I'm losing my goddamn mind around every bend of this road? Last night, at some roadside motel, she walked into my room. Ran her fingers over my tattoos, looked up at me with this smirk, and told me she wasn't wearing underwear. What the hell does she want? To destroy me? To see how far she can push before I snap? She's a virgin. Untouched. Off-limits. The one thing a man like me can never have. But when she looks at me like that—wearing that short dress, lips parted just enough—I forget who I am. I forget I'm the monster. And I start wanting, with everything in me, to be the one who ruins her. Even if it costs me my life. Even if it costs me everything.

Kai dropped to his knees, slipping off my heel and resting my foot on his thigh before pressing a slow kiss there. His puppy eyes locked onto mine. He rose, guiding me back onto the bed. I loosened his belt, crossing a line I knew I shouldn’t but I wanted him too much to stop. His hand slid under my dress, pulling at my panties…. I caught his wrist. Our eyes met. “You want me that badly?” I whispered. “Yes,” he breathed, soft but starving. My smile was cold and calculated, my voice low.  “I'll let you have me, if you Will kill your elder brother for me?” *********** Alessa Smith gave him everything, love, loyalty, her fortune. For three years, she stood by her husband Adrian's side, only to watch him throw it all away for the woman he once loved. He felt like she loved him more than her life. Now what he doesn’t know is that the empire he stands on was hers to begin with. She approached his useless stepbrother Kai because of a big lie she told. Kai is a ruthless biker with a big secret. Alessa gives him a contract promising him a better life, as long as he becomes her boytoy and makes her pregnant within a year. She promised to give him everything she gave her husband. But she had no idea that he was her stalker and always imagined himself in bed with her. She was a woman that with no emotions. But she found herself craving her husband's brother. A game she thought she was the controller,  she had no idea when she fell madly in love and couldn't control her craving for her Kai. But she will make Adrain sit and watch his ruins!!!!.
