I’ve been many things in this life, a neglected daughter at the family table, an unwanted bastard kept hidden behind closed doors, a bargaining chip passed about so easily.
Now?
Now I’m Luca Donell’s wife. He’s the crown prince of New York’s deadliest Mafia family.
And I am the sacrificial pawn my father offered up in exchange for power.
“Gain his trust. Feed us intel. And when the time is right, kill him.”
I agreed to it to fulfil the promise I made to my mother but nothing about Luca is what I had expected. Not his soft voice in the mornings, not the way he watches me like I’m very valuable to him.
And definitely not the way he whispers gently in my ear, “I understand you,” when his hands rest gently over my heartbeat. “Even the parts you don’t.”
I swore I’d destroy him.
But why is it that each time I hold the knife to finish the mission, my hand won’t stop shaking?

One night, Zharies (a poor orphan boy) helps Gerry (a mobster's son) who has escaped from his match night. A deal between them emerges for each other's benefit.

Thrown into a life of opulence laced with cruelty, Brenda hopes to survive in her new marriage. But Damian is not a man of mercy. Known for his ruthlessness and disdain for weakness, he sees her as nothing more than a pawn in a twisted deal.
Will Brenda’s quiet strength and determination thaw Damian’s icy heart? Or will she lose herself in the dangerous world she’s entered?

I lie on the bed, listening to Landon put Jones in his place. His voice is sharp, commanding—blunt enough to draw blood. My dick stirs at the dominance in his tone as he tells Jones he’d better get used to seeing him around. Jones mutters something under his breath, and then the door slams shut.
I smile in the dark.
Good boy.
Landon comes back over to the bed and lies down. As soon as he’s beside me, I pull him close. He lets out a startled yelp as I capture his lips in a bruising kiss.
“That was so fucking hot,” I growl against his lips. “Hearing you be so dominant like that…”

I’ve run this family for ten years. Untouchable. Cold. Ruthless.
I’ve killed before. I’ll kill again.
Nothing shakes me. Nothing gets under my skin.
Until him.
He walked into my bar like he owned the place—swaggering, cocky, sexy as hell. He strutted that tight body like he knew exactly what it did to people. When he stumbled and landed in my lap, I hesitated. Anyone else would’ve had a blade in their throat for touching me without permission.
But then he looked up at me with those amber eyes, and everything before him felt irrelevant.
Now, nothing matters more than making him mine.

Finding out he’s DEA—sent to take me down—wasn’t part of the plan.


Landon is a Senior Special Agent with the DEA. He volunteered to go undercover against Diego Fuentes, even though the pull he felt toward him started long before they met. Now, after witnessing Diego’s brutality and hearing what he does to traitors, Landon knows he’s in too deep.

Sold to Be Loved by the Mafia Prince is a dark, emotionally charged New Adult romance set in a world where power is inherited, trust is a weapon, and love is the most dangerous game of all.

When seventeen-year-old Malia sacrifices her freedom to save her father, she is thrust into the violent world of the Italian Mafia—betrothed to Blaine DeCavalcante, the cold and untouchable Capo Bastone. Held at the luxurious yet haunting Crimson Garden estate, Malia must navigate a new life of control, secrets, and manipulation, all under the watchful eye of her fake fiancé’s double, Marcello.

But Marcello is more than just a stand-in. He’s her shadow, her tormentor, her unexpected comfort—and the one man she can’t figure out. As she battles fear, growing attraction, and the terrifying reality of her arranged future, Malia begins to uncover truths buried beneath Mafia loyalty, violent legacies, and the twisted lines between love and possession.

Told in alternating points of view, Sold to Be Loved by the Mafia Prince blends psychological tension, emotional vulnerability, and slow-burning obsession. It's a story about identity, power, and the impossible choice between surrendering to your fate—or rewriting it from the inside.

And the battlefield is her heart.

Because Dominik doesn’t just want revenge.

He wants me.

Now I’m trapped between two men—one who tempts my heart, and one who consumes my soul. Both powerful, dangerous, and willing to burn the world to claim me.

And I’m the prize neither of them intends to lose.

“Or you’ll regret it.” He says, his blue eyes turning dark.
“You don’t control me. I’m not one of your employees, and I don’t need a babysitter.” I provoke, trying to walk past him. He grabs me, pressing my back against his chest.
His hand wraps around my neck, forcing me to tilt my head up.
“Are you all pissy because I didn’t give you my cock?” he whispers in my ear, making my skin shiver. “Or are you so desperate for it you’re doing this just so I’ll punish you with it?” he continues, brushing his nose against my neck. “Is that what you want, sweetheart? You want to be punished?”

Lucas finds himself being dragged away by two men while out for a walk after finding out that his father was in a lot of trouble and he was the only "thing" that could solve the problem.

He didn't think that night would change his life forever and he would fall deeply in love with thee most dangerous man on earth.

LITERALLY.

Vegas sophomore. Dad's gambling debts. Broken arm. Dead grandmother. Then I found Alexander bleeding out in an alley — the Desert Reaper himself. I thought he'd be my weapon for revenge. Instead, I fell for the bastard. Now the FBI's involved, and we're all drowning in blood and betrayal...

I was the mafia king's most treasured "little princess" - until the explosion that claimed my adoptive father and protector. Desperate, I clung to a man who wore his face, only to have him broadcast my desperate love confessions as a joke. The night I reached peak humiliation, the man who should have been buried in Sicily rose from hell.
Vincenzo Benedetti. My god, my ultimate sin. He shattered my replacement boyfriend into nothingness, then pressed bloodstained fingers to my lips. "Done playing games, little one?" His whisper sealed my surrender. "Time to claim you as my queen."

I was seventeen when I met him on the most dangerous streets of Boston—Marco Romano, an Irish street punk covered in blood. That night, he gave me a stolen rose, and I gave him my heart.

We lived in a broken one-room apartment, eating canned soup, but felt like we owned the world. He promised to protect me forever, and I swore never to leave him. But fate brought Vincent Torrino into my life—a devil of a mafia boss who threatened me with the vilest methods: "Either you leave Marco willingly, or I kill him."

On my eighteenth birthday, I told Marco the most painful lie of my life: "I'm tired of living this poor life with you." I watched the light die in his eyes, and my heart died with it.

Five years later, when I thought I'd never see him again, he appeared before me—no longer that street punk, but New York's most feared mafia don. Dressed in tailored suits, cold and ruthless, with a beautiful Hollywood actress by his side.

"Ms. Whitmore," he called me by my fake name in a voice both strange and dangerous, "pleasure to meet you."

But when his green eyes looked at me, I knew that some loves, even when torn apart and buried, never truly die...

When a drunk bastard dragged me into that back alley behind the bar, ripping at my clothes, he appeared like a demon crawling straight out of hell to save me. After one night of sinful passion, he vanished—leaving behind a fake business card and a thousand bucks like a slap to my face!

The day I discovered I was pregnant, I lost my job and my landlord gave me 24 hours to get out.

Just when I hit rock bottom with nowhere to turn, a black Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of me. Turns out my mysterious savior was Dominic—a billionaire mafia boss worth ten figures!

I was once a brilliant psychology student at Berkeley, but now I've become a "hunter" in Viktor Reeves' criminal empire. My job? Using psychological techniques to seduce wealthy men and swindle them out of their money for this devil.

After each mission, I hate myself a little more. Until that day, when I met him in a coffee shop—Alexei, a documentary filmmaker with gentle blue eyes. Unlike my other targets, there was something pure and kind in his gaze. For three weeks, I crafted lies to make him fall in love with me, all while stealing his money.

Until that night, when he burst into the casino, pointing a gun at my heart. "Who taught you to seduce different men at the same time?"

Then my world collapsed—he turned out to be Viktor's own son!

She thought he was just an ordinary law student, until that bloody night—

Nurse Esperanza is five months pregnant, but she can't tell anyone who the father is. After three years of passionate love and one brutal breakup, she thought she'd never see Dante Santangelo again.

Until that early morning when she's urgently called to the VIP ward, only to find him bleeding on a hospital bed, surrounded by black-suited bodyguards and his stunning fiancée, Caterina.

A mafia don.

That's the true identity of the man she loved for three years.

Before Esperanza can even process what's happening, he grabs her chin and demands in a dangerous voice, "Tell me, whose fucking baby are you carrying?"

My name is Mira Sawyer, an orphan adopted by the Rossi mafia family.

The night I was kidnapped, the captor pressed a gun to my temple and told Marco over video: "Five million dollars, or she dies."

I watched Marco Rossi—heir to New York's mafia empire—laugh with a blonde in his arms: "Keep her. Maybe she'll finally learn I don't want a pathetic puppy following me around."

Ten years of waiting, shattered at gunpoint.

Then the warehouse exploded.

Through the smoke walked a man in a black coat, eyes colder than death itself. Three shots. Three bodies. He stopped in front of me: "Nobody touches what's mine to protect."

That night changed everything.

The next day, I returned to the manor and saw him descending the stairs. Marco's face went white:

"Uncle Luca?! You're back from Sicily?!"

The legendary killer, exiled for twelve years. The real power behind the Rossi family. Marco's uncle.

He was the man who saved me.

And in that warehouse, I'd already become his.

I died in a goddamn plane crash hunting down my husband who ran off with his "true love."

That lovesick moron completely screwed me over!

My sister Sofia and I are twins, born into a mafia family, but I'm the only one who actually inherited the ruthless gene. My sister? Total sweetheart and naive as hell.

The Romano family handpicked me for their heir Alessandro. They figured my cunning could rebuild their crumbling empire. What a joke. My marriage was a complete nightmare. My husband Alessandro despised everything about me, my ambition, my scheming, my brain. He wouldn't even touch me. Eventually, he ditched me for his "true love" and ran off with her. And his family had the audacity to force me to go drag his ass back home!

Meanwhile, Dante De Luca, heir to the most powerful family around - married my sister. I'm betting his stepmother deliberately chose Sofia to sabotage him, trap him with some weak, innocent little wife. So Sofia got screwed over too. Dante shipped her off to some remote estate the day after their wedding and just... abandoned her there. When Dante got murdered, they killed her too.

As that plane was going down, I was furious at how unfair it all was. But when I opened my eyes again, I was back seven days before my engagement party.

Perfect. God's giving me a second shot, and this time, I'm the one who's gonna marry Dante De Luca.

I died in his arms as poison burned through my veins, and Dante Russo finally said "I love you." But by then, he'd spent ten years on revenge and turned himself into a monster.

I opened my eyes. Back at our engagement party. Ten years earlier.

This man is still young, still has light in his eyes. Tonight at midnight he'll kill his first victim—and never find his way back.

"Don't see Vincent tonight," I grab his wrist. "He's not your real enemy."

Dante's eyes turn ice cold. "How the fuck do you know that name?"

I can't say "because I died once." So I do what I never dared before—at the docks I shoot the man about to kill him, at the enemy estate he kneels and begs for my life. When that bullet tears through his chest, I finally understand:

In my past life he did love me. He just pushed me away with coldness, thinking it would keep me alive.

This time, I won't let him walk into darkness alone.

Even if I'm trying to save a man destined to become a monster.

The day I walked in on my boyfriend screwing that blonde tramp, I dropped the homemade tiramisu right there on the floor—our two-year relationship smashed to bits, messier than the splattered cream.

I ducked into a bar, slamming back whiskey, when this guy in a sharp black suit sidles up, his voice smooth as silk laced with bourbon. I spat out, "Help me forget him," but ended up totally lost in the presidential suite. He backed me against the wall, tore open my blouse, his tongue circling my nipple before biting down hard, leaving me breathless. "You taste like candy, baby—tonight, I'm gonna eat you up."

But then my boyfriend FaceTimes, spots the guy behind me, and loses it, screaming, "Dad!"

I went ice-cold—my hookup was my boyfriend's stepdad? Even worse, this thirty-three-year-old powerhouse was Brooklyn's deadliest mob boss.

What began as a vengeful fling spiraled into a forbidden nightmare?

Five years ago, my sister vanished the night before her wedding. She left behind a crying newborn in a crib and a mafia heir on the verge of losing control.

And I was forced into her place—the temporary bride, the contract wife, the whispered “replacement” in every gilded hallway.

I thought I only had to survive five years. Five years to earn what I was promised, and then walk away from this city of shadows and blood.

I clawed my way through bullets, politics, and betrayal. I earned respect. I gained power.
And somehow... I tasted a tenderness I was never meant to have.

Now, with only ten days left on our marriage contract, I thought everything was finally under control. I thought freedom and power were within reach.

Until she came back—wrapped in grace, dripping secrets, smiling as if she owned the world she abandoned.

She looked at me and said, “Little sister, give me back my life.”

When I knelt before the Five Families, begging for my brother Marco's life, my Mafia husband Alexander looked at me with cold indifference: "Getting involved now would trigger an all-out war. I can't destroy everyone's interests for a failed family."

A failed family? That was my own blood!

Marco died under Russian bullets, and I discovered it was all Alexander's elaborate conspiracy. Even more cruel—the bitch who killed my first child two years ago was still alive. She had always been Alexander's mistress!

"Did you really think Alexander would kill his favorite bed partner for you?" Sophia mocked.

When I became pregnant again, I knew I had to escape this monster. The fake death drug was my only hope. I'd rather die than remain his plaything.

But what I didn't know was that when Alexander held my "corpse" in his arms, that cold-blooded Mafia boss completely lost his mind...

I am Isabella, the FBI's most distinguished undercover agent.
He is Vincent Salvatore, the most perilous crime lord in Chicago.

Mission: Infiltrate his ranks, gather evidence, and dismantle his empire.
Outcome: I became pregnant with his child.

An explosion stripped him of his memories,
and I fled with his seed.

But who could have anticipated—
that the amnesiac Vincent would fall maddeningly in love with the "stranger" that I am?

"Woman, your eyes drive me insane," he declared, gripping my waist, his gaze both perilous and passionate. "Come home with me."
