Introduction
Two Mafia families fighting for total domination.
A cold war that could turn hot in a second, unless a solution is found, one that unites two families, forever.
Anastasia Romanov, daughter of the head of the Russian Mafia, wanted nothing more than her father's recognition and a place at the family business table. Unfortunately, this guy had other plans for her and they included an arrogant Italian.
Now she has to reorganize her life and also deal with the emotionally cold and disturbed Mafioso Dante Martinelli.
Do opposites attract?
Does what provokes one another make love?
Or does less and less result in more?
They are opposites but bound by family, from this forced marriage there will come much more than daily fights.
Excerpt:
Seven meters away, I turned to Ivan, who smiled slightly at me.
Five meters away, Isabella and I crossed paths and looked each other straight in the eye. It was as if I saw my reflection. Deep circles under my eyes, trembling hands, and dull eyes filled with fear and sadness. Ten feet away, I lifted my gaze from the ground and looked at the older man for the first time. He must be Dante and Isabella’s father. Goosebumps spread across the back of my neck. Three feet away, Dante reached out and grabbed my elbow. With quick steps, he pulled me back and opened the back door of the car. His face came close to mine and I felt his breath in my ear. Cold and emotionless, he whispered, “Welcome to the family.” Suddenly, he pushed me into the car and slammed the door. My hell began now.
Chapter 1
I picked up my wine glass from the counter and turned away from the bar. The wine matched perfectly with my red dress, which clung tightly to my body.
I let my gaze wander around the room. The men wore expensive suits and the women were dressed in elegant dresses.
I didn't notice that my brother Ivan had come over to me and ordered a white Russian drink. "Nastya, stop staring at our guests."
He looked at me admonishingly.
"You probably mean Father's guests." Now I returned his gaze, to which he just shook his head. My older brother Ivan, heir and successor to the Petrov dynasty. As children, we were like cat and mouse. We fought for every toy and outdid each other in every competition that was put before us, but above all, we fought for our father's approval. However, we stopped thinking about correcting each other as soon as we got older. We began to complement each other, even though Ivan still played the big brother, he was the only one I trusted blindly and for whom I would walk through fire.
"Do you know what Father wants to announce tonight?" My brother took his drink and with a curt "No, it will be business," he made his way through the crowd. I continued to stand with my back against the bar, avoiding the usual superficial conversations with the people I only see at these events.
It was a miracle that my presence was insisted upon today, as I was usually kept out of family business, no matter how much I wanted to get involved.
My job was to show up at events and smile nicely for the camera. I wondered
how my father would react if he knew that I was behind his strategies for the last missions, or that I saved Ivan a lot of money because he had overlooked the fine print in a contract and I intervened at the last second so that his golden boy wouldn't look stupid.
Ivan was a big man, strong, authoritative, a protector, but certainly not a quickhead who paid attention to details. I took on this role, even though in our world only men could become the head of the family and business.
Many people believe that the world is divided up the way they were told in geography class, with city walls, land borders, and continents, but this hasn't been the case for a long time.
The world's most powerful families have been redrawing the map for some time now. And by powerful families, I don't mean Bill Gates or the Kardashians. I mean men with real power, built up through centuries of criminal family dealings.
How do I know this? Quite simply, I belong to one of those families.
My father entered the room and stood next to my uncle Boris, who clinked a fork on his glass. The whole room froze and it became quiet. My father looked around. When he reached me, his gaze lingered for a second, then he spoke. "As you all know, we have been at war with the Sicilian family, the Martinellis, for a year now over our borders in Bosnia and Serbia."
Nods spread among the listeners, followed by sounds of agreement.
I wouldn't call it a war, as there have only been two heated phases so far, which we were able to defuse through diplomatic negotiations.
However, these areas are still disputed and no one wants to give in on this. I didn't know exactly what the problem was because Ivan didn't want to tell me, but I could tell from the bodies of my father and his closest advisors that it was getting worse.
It wasn't difficult to pay attention to such details when you're only allowed to observe.
"The Martinellis are demanding a new border arrangement in these areas. They want to expand their sphere of influence to the east and are offering us a share of the profits in return," my father continued.
I noticed how he tensed up even more. I didn't have to hear it to know that he had refused. I was starting to get nervous.
The last time our families disagreed on the border, Yugoslavia had to be dissolved as a state. I had only just been born at the time, but by now I knew the story inside and out.
"We didn't accept the deal, of course." Was I right? "However, we agreed that our families could no longer be in constant conflict with each other. The recent disputes have cost us, as well as the Martinellis, a lot and have weakened us. We cannot allow a third power to strengthen itself during our conflict and become a threat to us. We have concluded that it is time to focus on business put aside our differences and become a community."
The room exhales audibly.
Oh no, please not mediators again. The last time both families sent mediators, my father waterboarded the Italian mediators with olive oil and jammed spaghetti under their fingernails to get information. I know, a very special sense of humor.
He didn't send them back to Italy in one piece either, and we got ours back as matryoshkas. Well, it seems we at least share the same kind of cultural humor.
Never trust an enemy, even in peace talks.
My uncle banged his glass again, trying to force silence in the room.
"Please calm down and let me finish. After much deliberation, we decided that both families could live with it. Our businesses will continue as before..."
That was so typical. First, he opens a can of worms and then he closes it, just leaving it open, and I'm sure that was only half of what was going on. Over the years, I started to read between the lines, which was essential for a family like mine.
Nothing was said directly and in clear terms, even between family members.
I used to think that life as a criminal mafia family required something like that, but in truth, my family was just messed up.
Suddenly everyone turned to me and looked at me in shock. I was so busy cursing my family that I didn't hear the end of his speech. I looked to my brother for help, who just looked at me emotionlessly. I couldn't read anything in his eyes; Ivan had put on his poker face.
So I looked at my uncle, who lowered his gaze to the ground.
Damn, I had a bad feeling and I suspected that I was about to find out the reason for my appearance here.
Then I looked at my father, who recognized my ignorant look and therefore repeated the end loudly.
"With a wedding of Dante Martinelli and my daughter Anastasia Romanov."
I dropped my wine glass.

Clandestine Affair:My Wife Fell for My Father
My mother passed away early in my life, and my kind-hearted, strong father has taken on the role of caring for my children at home. Attempting countless remedies to regain normal erectile function has proved futile. One day, while browsing the internet, I stumbled upon adult literature involving a father-in-law and daughter-in-law, which inexplicably captivated and aroused me immediately.
Lying beside my peacefully sleeping wife, I began to superimpose her image onto the daughter-in-law character from the story, which aroused me to an extraordinary degree. I even discovered that imagining my wife with my father while pleasuring myself was more gratifying than being intimate with her. Realizing I accidentally unearthed Pandora's box, I acknowledge that there is no turning back from this newfound and uncontrollable excitement...

Six years of hard-won survival turned me into a professional fighter, fueled by rage and grief. A summons arrives from the formidable Alpha heir, Ethan, asking me to return as a wolfless combat instructor for the very pack that once banished me.

Amie and Finlay need to adapt to the new reality and find a way forward for their pack. But will the curve ball split them apart?
Strings of Fate
Like all children, I was tested for magic when I was only a few days old. Since my specific bloodline is unknown and my magic is unidentifiable, I was marked with a delicate swirling pattern around my upper right arm.
I do have magic, just as the tests showed, but it has never lined up with any known Magic species.
I can't breathe fire like a dragon Shifter, or hex people who piss me off like Witches. I can't make potions like an Alchemist or seduce people like a Succubus. Now I don't mean to be unappreciative of the power I do have, it's interesting and all, but it just really doesn't pack much of a punch and most of the time it is just pretty much useless. My special magical skill is the ability to see threads of fate.
Most of life is annoying enough for me, and what never occurred to me is that my mate is a rude, pompous nuisance. He's an Alpha and my friend's twin brother.
“What are you doing? This is my home, you can't just let yourself in!” I try and keep my voice firm but when he turns and fixes me with his golden eyes I shrink back. The look he gives me is imperious and I automatically drop my eyes to the floor as is my habit. Then I force myself to look back up again. He doesn't notice me looking up because he's already looked away from me. He's being rude, I refuse to show that he's scaring me, even though he most definitely is. He glances around and after realising that the only place to sit is the little table with its two chairs he points to it.
“Sit.” he orders. I glare at him. Who is he to order me around like this? How can someone this obnoxious possibly be my soul mate? Maybe I'm still asleep. I pinch my arm and my eyes water a little from the sting of pain.
The Moon's Descendant
“You think I’m going to let my daughter sleep with whoever she wants” he spat. He kicked me in the ribs, sending me flying back across the floor.
“I didn’t” I coughed, gasping for air.
I felt as though my chest had caved in. I thought I was about to vomit when Hank grabbed my hair and lifted my head. CRACK. It was like my eye had exploded inside my skull when he punched me in the face. I landed on the cold concrete and pressed my face onto the floor. He used his foot to roll me over so that I was on my back.
“Look at you, you disgusting c**t” he huffed as he crouched down beside me and wiped the hair from my face. He smiled, a terrifying evil smile.
“I have something extra special for you tonight” he whispered.
Hidden in the dark forest, on Cape Breton Island, lives a small community of Weres. For generations they remained hidden from the humans and maintained a peaceful existence. That is until one small woman joins their pack and throws their world upside down.
Gunner the future Alpha, serving as a knight in shining armour saves the young woman from certain death. Bringing with her a mysterious past and possibilities that many had long since forgotten, Zelena is the light they didn’t know they needed.
With new hope, comes new dangers. A clan of hunters want back what they believe the pack has stolen from them, Zelena.
With her new powers, new friends and new family, they all fight to protect their homeland and the gift that the Moon Goddess has bestowed upon them, the Triple Goddess.
My Dominant Boss
Mr Sutton and I have had nothing but a working relationship. He bosses me around, and I listen. But all of that is about to change. He needs a date for a family wedding and has chosen me as his target. I could and should have said no, but what else can I do when he threatens my job?
It is agreeing to that one favour that changed my entire life. We spent more time together outside of work, which changed our relationship. I see him in a different light, and he sees me in one.
I know it is wrong to get involved with my boss. I try to fight it but fail. It is only sex. What harm could it do? I couldn’t be more wrong because what starts as only sex changes direction in a way I could never imagine.
My boss isn’t only dominant at work but in all aspects of his life. I have heard about the Dom/subs relationship, but it isn’t something I ever thought much about. As things heat up between Mr Sutton and me, I am asked to become his submissive. How does one even become such a thing with no experience or desire to be one? It will be a challenge for him and me because I don’t do well at being told what to do outside of work.
I never expected the one thing I knew nothing about would be the same thing to open up an incredible brand-new world to me.
The Four Mafia Men and Their Prize
“Kiss back” he mumbles, and I feel rough hands all over my body giving me tight squeezes as a warning not to piss them off further. So I give in. I begin to move my mouth and open my lips slightly. Jason wastes no time devouring every inch of my mouth with his tongue. Our lips doing the tango, his dominance winning the race.
We break away, breathing hard. Next, Ben turns my head to face him and does the same thing. His kiss is definitely softer but just as controlling. I moan into his mouth as we continue to exchange saliva. He tugs my bottom lip slightly in his teeth as he pulls away. Kai pulls my hair, so I am looking up, his large frame towering over me. He bends down and claims my lips. He was rough and forceful. Charlie followed and was a mix. My lips feel swollen, my face feels all hot and flushed, and my legs feel like rubber. For some murdering psychotic assholes, damn can they kiss.
Aurora has always worked hard. She just wants to live her life. By chance, she met four mafia men Jason, Charlie, Ben and Kai. They are the ultimate dominants in the office, on the streets, and definitely in the bedroom. They always get what they want and THEY SHARE EVERYTHING.
How will Aurora adjust to having not 1 but 4 powerful men showing her the pleasure she only ever dreamed of? What will happen when a mysterious someone shows interest in Aurora and shakes things up for the notorious mafia men? Will Aurora finally submit and acknowledge her deepest desires or will her innocence be forever ruined?
Shattered Girl
“I’m sorry, sweetheart. Was that too much?” I could see the worry in his eyes as I took a deep breath.
“I just didn’t want you to see all my scars,” I whispered, feeling ashamed of my marked body.
Emmy Nichols is used to surviving. She survived her abusive father for years until he beat her so severely, she ended up in the hospital, and her father was finally arrested. Now, Emmy is thrown into a life she never expected. Now she has a mother
who doesn't want her, a politically motivated stepfather with ties to the Irish mob, four older stepbrothers, and their best friend who swear to love and protect her. Then, one night, everything shatters, and Emmy feels her only option is to run.
When her stepbrothers and their best friend finally find her, will they pick up the pieces and convince Emmy that they will keep her safe and their love will hold them together?
Chasing My Rejected Luna
Tegan Declan was a shy she-wolf who was born deaf. Starting a new life as a disabled wolf in a new pack. She is the new contracted mate to the Alpha king, Ezra Hendricks.
“Being deaf was a quality I would hate my son to have. As a wolf, you need all your senses to be able to lead, protect, and stay alive. Lacking hearing would not benefit anyone, it could lead to mass destruction and the loss of many lives. It would not be a good quality for a king. This brought me back to my question. What makes her think she is fit to be my Queen? I want to know what she thinks her strengths are. Would they outweigh her weaknesses?”
Don’t Poke the Luna
Independence is the only thing I’ve ever wanted. But more than one man seems to think he has a say in my future.
My fire has always been my strength... and my curse. I've paid the price for being unyielding. But I won’t stop. Not until I’m free. The real question is—how much more can I take before I break?
