Introduction
Violet is a small-town girl from Ohio. Little does she know her father is a well know Capo in the Mafia world. He has kept her hidden from his enemies and only those in his inner circle know about her. That is why he moved to such a small town to keep from being found.
Her best friend and secret crush, Mike, has grown up with her and was tasked by her father to be by her side once they were old enough. As a teen, Mike began to learn the inner workings of the Mafia world and business. When a business opportunity opens up in Florida, Mike is sent to oversee it. With his right-hand man, Alex, by his side, they take Violet and Nicole with them to keep them both close. Little do they know; danger is lurking nearby.
Another Capo, Ted DiBiase, has his eyes set on Violet when he sees her in a club one night, a club owned by her father and Ted's rival. Ted has no idea Violet is his rival's daughter. He wants her and he will stop at nothing to have her.
What will happen when Ted puts his plan into action and takes Violet? Will Mike be able to save her in time? How will Violet react to the fact that her father is a well-known Capo?
Chapter 1
I was at the club for the third time this week. I was sitting at the table with my friend as I watched her move around the floor. The way she moved, looked, smiled, and smelt. Everything about her drove me crazy. I have been following her for about 3 months, ever since I first laid eyes on her.
She paid no mind to me because I was a stuck up rich kid. I tried to talk to her so many times and she blew me off, and that got to me. I had to make her mine, no matter what it took.
I watched as she was dancing with a few friends when a guy came up to her. He leaned down and said something to her and my blood boiled with anger. Who the hell does he think he is?! No other guy should be talking to her but me! I watched as she was dancing and having a good time with her friends and that guy. A scowl came across my face as they were dancing. The way her hair moved when she swung her hips drove me insane.
When I saw her walk to her table and hug her friends, I knew it was time to make my move. I watched as she walked out of the club, looking at her phone. I got up and slowly made my way behind her. I watched as she walked to her car and fumbled for her keys. As she dropped them, I knew now was the best time to make my move.
My name is Ted DiBiase and I get whatever I want. What I want right now is Violet. Violet Rose....You WILL be MINE!
Violet
I was having a good time with my friends Nicole, her boyfriend Alex, Ana, and Mike. Mike and I have been friends forever. We grew up together and I supported him through everything. My life was not perfect, but he made everything better. When he got offered his dream job and got the chance to go to Florida, he asked me to go.
Why not? Being from a small town, I had to get out and live a little. So I moved to Florida with Mike 6 years ago and became friends with Nicole and Ana. We were celebrating my birthday, as well as Mike's, and Mike's acceptance into his new job. We were all having a good time until I looked over and saw HIM, the guy that had been pretty much stalking me for months. I shrugged it off and focused on having fun.
Ted
I was watching her dance and have a good time. I should be the one over there dancing with her and not that other prick. He had his hands around her as they danced. She moved her hair away from her face as she was laughing at something.
I let out a frustrated sigh.
“When are you going to go for it?” My friend, Cody, asked.
“Soon. I think tonight is the night.” I said, not taking my eyes off her.
“You need to do it soon, before someone else makes a move.” Cody said, coolly.
“If they do, then they will pay!” I seethed at the thought. “She is mine!” I added in a cocky tone.
“Good luck.” Cody shrugged. “I will get the car ready.” He said, standing up to leave. I watched as he disappeared out the door and turned my attention back to Violet.
Violet
I was having a good time with Mike, when he leaned down to say something.
“It is getting late and I should get going.” Mike said, a bit sad he had to leave early.
“Alright. Call you later.” My voice was sad, not wanting him to leave. I knew he had to be up early, so I understood. He then walked off the dance floor and headed out. I danced for a bit more, having a good time, then took a seat to rest.
“I am so happy he made it!” I beamed at the thought of Mike's dream coming true. He has been working so hard to achieve this and it has finally happened. I was so happy and proud for him.
“So am I!” Nicole smiled, sitting with her boyfriend Alex, of about 2 years. They were so cute together. They matched each other perfectly. Their eyes showed nothing but love for each other and I hope to have that one day too.
“Tonight is very special!” Alex said, raising his beer for a toast.
“Huh?” I asked confused. They all giggled.
“Your birthday silly.” Nicole giggled, raising her martini glass.
“Oh.” I laughed. I really shouldn't have drunk as much as I did. I was always a little forgetful when I drank and had a good time. Alex then made a toast and we sat and talked for a bit. It was getting late and I was getting tired. Trying to hide a yawn, I finished my drink and set it down on the table.
“Well, I am going to go. See you all tomorrow.” I said as I stood up, gathered my clutch and coat.
They all looked at me and frowned but said their goodbyes. As I was walking to my car, I could sense that I was being followed. When I turned around, I saw no one.
Hurrying to my car, I fumbled with my keys. Dropping them on the ground, I cursed under my breath. I bent down to pick them up and as I stood, someone wrapped an arm around my waist from behind and covered my mouth with their other. I tried to struggle but they were stronger than I. I did everything I could, from kicking them and using my nails to scratch their face. It was useless. My screams were muffled by their hand. I felt something cool and wet come to my face and then blackness.
Ted
As I was following Violet out of the club, I made sure no one was around. As she bent down to reach for her keys, I made my move. Wrapping my arms around her, I made sure to hold her tightly. She was kicking and scratching me, but it was nothing compared to what I have endured. Being in the type of business I am, you get used to being beat up. I got frustrated with her lack of cooperation, so I got a towel out of my pocket and placed it on her face. After a few moments, she stopped struggling and went limp in my arms. Making sure no one was watching, I threw her in the back of the car as Cody pulled up. Getting in the front, I looked back at her sleeping peacefully.
“About time.” Cody mumbled as he started to drive away.
“Shut up!” I hissed. I was panting and trying to catch my breath. For someone as small as Violet, she sure was a strong one. No matter, I like them feisty.
“What?!” Cody shot back. “Took you 3 months to finally get her.” He added, voice annoyed.
“I had to wait for the perfect time to put my plan into action. She was never alone.” I said, feeling relieved and accomplished. She was finally mine. Mine to hold, love, cherish, and do as I pleased with.
Cody began the long drive to my mansion in West Palm Beach. The drive to Tampa was finally over. She was finally with me and that is how it is going to stay. After pulling up to my place, I got out and walked to the back, getting Violet out. I lifted her up and she leaned onto my chest. I then began to walk to my place and carried her up to my room. Cody went to his as I walked into mine. I gently placed her on the bed and began to strip her of her dress, leaving her in only her bra and panties. A grin appeared on my face as I looked down at the petite body that was now all mine. I stripped my clothes down to my boxers and climbed in next to her. I put my arm around her and pulled her on my chest. Looking down at her and rubbing her back, it gave me a sense of triumph. Her soft breath was soothing and soon I closed my eyes and went to sleep holding her in my arms.

Reborn To Rule: I Will Seize The Throne!
He paused, his gaze never leaving mine.
"And I don't share what's mine."
☆
I died on my son's death anniversary, betrayed by the man I'd devoted my entire life to, and the woman who stood by, smiling as I took my last breath… was my very own sister.
When I opened my eyes again, I was five years in the past—before the betrayal, before my death and before the beginning of it all.
This time, I refused to marry the man who destroyed me.
Instead, I walked straight into the arms of the only man the entire Empire feared—Crown Prince Alpha Rhaedon Ashkaar.
Rhaedon was everything Lucien wasn't.
Dangerous. Competent. Powerful.
And the perfect weapon for my revenge.
He wanted the throne. I wanted vengeance.
It should have been the perfect alliance, but revenge was never that simple.
With every step I took toward my revenge, another secret from my first life came to light. The deeper I dug, the more I realized I wasn't the only one playing this game.
And by the time I uncovered the truth...
Walking away from Rhaedon Ashkaar was no longer an option.
They'll Regret This
My fiancé didn't just dump me—he proposed to her that same night. My so-called family handed me bus fare and a one-way ticket to the countryside.
Perfect. Let them think they won.
They don't know who I really am. The anonymous genius surgeon who saves lives when elite hospitals give up. The legendary artist whose paintings sell for millions at auction. The undefeated shadow queen of the underground fighting circuit. And the true heiress to a fortune that makes theirs look like pocket change.
Now my ex-fiancé begs on his knees. My fake sister's jealousy is eating her alive. And that cold, arrogant CEO who once threw our engagement contract in my face? He's hunting me down like a man possessed, desperate for one more chance.
They threw me away like trash to upgrade their lives.
Joke's on them.
I was always the upgrade.
What the Heart Wants (Book 1 of the Alpha Faros Series)
Not loving him will cost more.
Derek has one goal: survive high school without drawing too much attention or pissing off his pack’s alpha.
As the youngest son of the alpha, his life is governed by lycan hierarchy, tradition, and politics. With no signs of awakening a lycan spirit, his only value is what he can do for the pack’s image. He knows he’s only ever one misstep away from exile… or worse.
Then, he finds a boy trapped in a locker on orientation day, and everything changes.
Derek shouldn’t want Nikolias. He’s off-limits. A risk Derek can’t afford.
So why does it feel like he’s the only thing worth fighting for?
Nikolias has just lost everything: his parents, his home, and any sense of peace. Sent back to the town his family left years ago to live with his prejudiced and controlling uncle, who wants nothing to do with anything—or anyone—not human, he’s trying to do everything in his power to get out quickly.
But then he meets Derek again, and all of his plans vanish in the soft, yearning flecks of gold in Derek’s green-hazel eyes. He’s drawn to Derek in a way that’s impossible to deny, and he thinks Derek feels the same way, despite the danger their relationship holds for him.
As Moonshadow's politics turn deadly, Derek and Nikolai are caught in the crossfire of a war that had started long before they were born, and their bond becomes a threat and a lifeline that neither can afford to sever.
Because the heart wants what it wants….
And it never asks permission.

From Sacrificed Slave to the Dragon King's Obsession
His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.
"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.
"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."
I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.
"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."
On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.
Augustus Ashenwing, Supreme Sovereign of Skyhold Citadel, is ruthless and feared by all races. His obsession stems from ancient grudges and dragonkind's most dangerous instinct: possessive desire. He demands her submission, binding her to his throne as his consort.
From prisoner to queen, Lina battles him through court intrigue and twisted passion—fighting for her mother, her freedom, her dignity.
Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers. But loving him means betraying Kain, who waited eleven years. Torn between duty and desire, she drowns in agonizing guilt.
Love and hatred intertwined—a forbidden dragon romance in a realm of oppression.
The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."

The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.

The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
