"You are... so undeniably beautiful, darling." His eyes moved across my face, my entire face, as the compliment falls breathlessly from his lips.

I see the blush on my cheeks redden as I stare into the camera. "Yeah, right." My tone completely denying his statement.

"Yeah right." He says back repeating what I said but differently, the way he says it was so straight forward, like he's waiting for me to deny it once again just so he can prove me wrong.

"You're not that hard to look at either, I guess." I say instead.

"You guess?" His brow raising as he chuckles.

Daniela O'Brien. Dani is the girl you would say has absolutely no luck going for her at all. Two dead parents, an estranged sister and an abusive, controlling boyfriend who's keeping one hell of a secret from her. At 21 years old she unknowingly finds herself thrown into the darkest life of them all - The Mob. Carson Agnello. The guy you would say, on the surface, has all the luck going for him. At 25 years old, he's the leader of the most powerful Italian mafia in America. He's busy fighting off the Irish Mob who are neighbouring him in New York. They're on opposite sides of the battle, he knows of her but she has no clue who he is, until one event intertwines their two lives together. They suddenly rely just on each other, they need each other. They're all each other has. ✨ "I felt sorry for you, when I saw you. I wanted to help you because you were being attacked by these men. But now, I'm starting to think that maybe you deserve it. Maybe...maybe you're just as bad as they are." He held my stare as I spoke and when I finished, he let out a humourless laugh, also standing up to his feet. I watched him carefully as he crossed the room coming towards me, giving me the same cold glare as before. He stopped right in front of me, close enough for me to smell the strong scent of his aftershave, before he leaned down a little bringing his face closer to mine. His next words came out barely above a whisper but were still powerful enough to cause my breath to catch in my throat. "Maybe I am just bad as them...or maybe I'm worse baby girl." ⚠️ Warning - this book contains explicit mentions and descriptions of abuse, rape, mental health issues and suicide.

Enzo takes Lucia's breath away and her entire world turns on its head. Not long after she realizes there is more to Enzo than he let on. Enzo's familial connections threaten Lucia's safety. As she fights her undeniable attraction to Enzo, Lucia's haphephobia takes center stage in her life. However, that's not all that stands between Lucia and her survival. Her forgotten childhood could reveal that she is more involved in Enzo's dangerous world than she ever imagined. βŒβ­•οΈβŒβ­•οΈ Trigger warning: This book contains graphic violence, gore, murder, sexual themes, physical, verbal, and emotional abuse, dark narrative, self-harm, and psychological trauma. Although a lot of inspiration was taken from my life (surprising?), this story and all characters depicted are fictional. I do suffer from generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. Those themes were inspired by my experiences. βŒβ­•οΈβŒβ­•οΈ This book started as practice and a creative outlet, which is why the plot is... interesting. My goals for this challenge are listed below, let me know if I nailed them! Goals: βœ”οΈ 50,000 words (2,000 - 2,500 per chapter) βœ”οΈ Dabble in psychological themes βœ”οΈ Bring a dark twist to the Mafia Romance genre βœ”οΈ Limit the use of profanities (which this genre is known for :P) βœ”οΈ Finish my first novel

Sofia Garcia, also known as the assassin Raven, has always had a messy life then it gets messier when she goes to a dance and accidentally- (on purpose) kisses the most dangerous mafia boss only to end up in a spiral of their marriage and soon discovers he's her next target. She's stubborn, childish, and impulsive. But she's also intelligent, calculating, and skilled. Alessandro is a cold mafia leader. He doesn't take childish behavior. He doesn't get himself involved with women or the media. Then he meets Sofia who is a childish woman stuck in a 22-year-old body. He's never been interested in a woman before her and no matter how much he tries to deny it or make comments to avoid it, he's fallen for her. He's just as stubborn, Impatient, and cold. But he's also observant, hardworking, and logical. While Alessandro's men are trying their hardest to find the ruthless assassin, Raven, she's seated comfortably on his living room couch binge-watching movies, and he's sitting under the same roof denying his obvious feelings for his wife. He's looking for her at the same time she's supposed to kill him? ♀♑♑♑♑♑♑♑♑♑♑♀♑♑♑♑♑♑♑♑♑♀ Ales is observing me intensely, not minding our close proximity. His eyes scan me as if he's looking straight into my soul. I'm very aware of our position and torn between the desire to kiss him passionately and the instinct to push him away. His face comes so close that our noses brush, and his hot, minty breath fans my face. He leans in, his hands resting gently on the side of my hips. His eyes are hooded but captivating getting me lost in the warm brown. "I'm going to go fucking crazy living with you," He whispers huskily in my ear. He nibbles a bit on my earlobe causing butterflies to erupt.
