Nothing But Thirty

Sometimes we wish that our dreams would become reality or our reality will become nothing but a dream. But for Ian Green he wishes for nothing but a normal life, however a normal life is just not for him.

Amelia grew up noticing that her family never gave her much attention compared to a maid's child, whose daughter was showered by countless adoration and love by her own parents. At first, she thought that it was normal however, as years passed by, she grew to learn the unfair treatment her family was showing which caused her to grow cold with her blood relatives, especially with her father. One day, she was inside a bar taking drinks when a man who is assumed to be around his early thirty's approached her. The man was drunk and a little sketchy which made her want to avoid him but for some reason, she couldn't. There was something that was pulling her back into her seat, probably the foreign sensation or new found affection from talking with a stranger. The two will then start dating until a woman named Feline comes into the picture. She was also in love with Samuel which ultimately led to their rivalry. Amelia was in the middle of getting her revenge with the same woman when she reported her to her family. It led her to being scolded at home and finding out that all this time, Feline was her half-sister; the daughter of her father with another woman. Broken hearted from the notion, Amelia finds herself running towards Samuel's doorstep only to be met with another mischief. It just so happens that the same day she went to his house was the day; she met the same man she met at the bar that night. He reintroduces himself as Marshall and according to him; he was there with a restraining order in his hand.

The mafia king won't kill his nineteen-year-old son Leo when he finds out he’s weak and likes males. Instead, he sends him to hell. The Forge, a secretive prison camp hidden within the forest, is where affluent families send their "weak" sons, hoping to mold them into strong men. Leo was stripped of his clothing, shaved, and assigned the number 402; he was dug into freezing mud, subjected to beatings, and then left in complete darkness. Viktor, the strong, hardened guard, has been observing Leo with a wary gaze for years, acting as his personal handler. Viktor is meant to kill him. Instead, as the cameras stop rolling, Viktor lowers the whip, pushes Leo against the wall, and kisses him like a man who has been waiting too long. He moans into Leo's mouth, "I'm paid to break you, but I'd rather keep you." Every harsh day in the pit and every covert touch at night drives them deeper into the fire of forbidden love. But Leo's own father told Viktor to kill Leo and submit proof if he doesn't turn hard in thirty days. A jealous ex wants Leo to die. A shattered youngster from Leo's past is hiding a terrible rebellion. And the man Leo is falling for is the same one who was told to kill him. In a city made to break hearts, one wrong kiss may save them or set everything on fire. The Forge is a raw MM mafia romance that is dark, twisted, and dangerously addicting. Love is the most violent weapon of all.
