“What’s your name?” The alpha asked, seemingly unsettled by all the attention on him. “Jessica.” She replied quietly. She was about to ask for his name when the other’s thumb brushed her lips, before he released his hold. It left a sensation that was domineering and territorial. The Alpha stepped back, earnest stare burning into Jessica giving a slight glare of irritation at the other wolves before walking away. Tasha giggled, eyes turning into crescents. “Jessi. He claimed you.” “H-He did not,” Jessi started. “Yes, yes he did. He didn’t mark you, but he like, scent-claimed you in front of – of everyone!” Tasha said with glee. “He left his scent on you.” *** *** Jessica Hart is an Omega wolf who wants to find a mate who will accept her and she’s determined their story would be ‘love at first sight’ until she meets him and ... he’s an Arrogant Alpha. Chadwick Kai, who is a mysterious, devastatingly handsome Alpha that confuses Jessica.

It was all her fault. My life could have been simple—40-hour shifts at KFC, sneaking extra chicken crumbs, and binge-watching reality shows. But no. Instead, here I was, standing at the altar, saying I do to a man whose idea of “casual” involved drugs, women, and murder on speed dial. Thanks, Mom. Not only did she ruin my life, but she also sold it—traded me off to the deadliest Mafia boss alive, Mario Santiago, as if I were some secondhand couch on clearance. Mario Santiago. Yeah, that Mario Santiago. The Human Terminator. The guy whose enemies mysteriously vanish like my paycheck two days after payday. And now, I was his wife. He glanced at me with a slow, wolfish smile that practically screamed trouble. That was when I knew two things: 1. I was completely doomed. 2. This man was going to wreck my heart (and probably my life). But hey, it could be worse, right? At least I’d get a killer wardrobe out of it. *** Are you looking for romance and humor? Stuck with Mario Santiago is a hilarious, Mafia billionaire romance filled with danger, betrayal, drama, and a love story you won’t forget. Dive in—you won’t regret it (but the characters might).

I swallowed hard as my shaky hands flipped through the contract, my heart thumping hard in my chest. He nonchalantly pressed his gun against my father's temple as he watched me, his voice low and threatening… “If you sign this, you belong to me—body, mind, and soul. I’ll take you whenever I want, however I want. In return, your father lives.” *** Sofia’s world shatters the night she crosses paths with Luca Moretti—the ruthless heir to Italy’s most powerful mafia syndicate. It was a reckless night, a one-night stand that should never have happened. And now, he refuses to let her go. Luca set his eyes on Sofia, and he was going to get her at all costs. When her father is taken hostage, Luca gives her an impossible choice: sign a contract to become his plaything, or watch her father die. He claims her. Possesses her. Breaks her. Yet each touch ignites a fire she can’t resist. How long can she survive under Luca’s ruthless obsession? Will she escape the chains of his desire—or will she fall deeper into his arms, going against everything she stood for?
