A man like me isn’t capable of redemption.

I sell women. Abuse them. Demean them. The day I banged the gavel for the first time is the day I sold my soul, and there’s no coming back from that. I’ve never wanted to. Until she shows up.

She should be just another commodity, but I’m drawn to her in a way I didn’t think was possible. Against my better judgement, I take her for myself, convinced she’s an itch I have to scratch. But she has me under her spell and wishing for redemption instead.

The problem is, when you try to crawl out of Hell, the demons drag you back down. And I’m afraid my demons will drag her down with me.

Caged.

That’s the word that best describes my current predicament.

Kidnapped and taken to a private island full of hungry, depraved men, it seems like my situation can’t get any worse, but, unfortunately, I’m not sure that’s true. The mystery of how I got here reeks of betrayal, and I don’t know how much more of it I can take. It’s starting to seem like lies and deceit are all that I know.

The only crumb of comfort I have comes from one of the island residents, a man I’m told to call Mr. A.

He isn’t quite like the rest, and he gives me hope I can’t help but cling to in a place like this. I hear the rumors, learn why he keeps me at the island manor instead of taking me for himself, and still, I try to put my trust in him like he asks.

Because on an island of monsters, what choice do I have? I want to believe his intentions are pure … but will he turn out to be the biggest liar of them all?

“She’s mine now. I’m taking her for myself to do with as I please.”

Those are the words the masked man sneers to my mother right before he kidnaps me and hides me away at the Southern Sadists MC compound. His threats keep me from running even though my past trauma begs me to flee.

I shouldn’t want him like I do. But the ruse of our fake relationship has lines blurring with every pretended touch of affection, and the way his hungry gaze practically devours me.

His dominance has me submitting more than just my fragile past, along with my tears, my anger, and my pleasure. But there’s one secret I haven’t shared with him, and if he finds out, the real danger I’ll face will be worse than the monster I was meant to marry.

HONOR OR BLOOD: She's carrying a Calabrese heir. Too bad I'm going to make her a DeLuca bride.

She was supposed to be untouchable. My brother's family.
Bella's closest friend.
Another man's woman.

But Elena Santiago isn't the sweet angel she pretends to be.
Behind that perfect smile lies a mind as ruthless as mine.
Behind those deadly eyes burns an ambition that matches my own.

Now she's pregnant with a Calabrese heir,
Playing games that could get her killed,
And looking at me like I'm the answer to her darkest prayers.

I came back to New York for revenge.
Instead, I'm going to take what was never meant to be mine.

Let them call it betrayal.
Let them start a war.

Because Elena isn't just a pawn in their game.
She's the queen who will help me burn their empire to the ground.

And I dare any man to try and stop me.

“You're playing with fire, princess.”
“Maybe I want to burn.”

February 28, 2025 in Bad Boy Romance / Featured tagged $0.99 / Age gap romance / Bad Boy Romance / dark romance / enemies to lovers / Kindle Unlimited / mafia romance / Nova Gable / protector by Scarlett

Four years ago, he shattered my heart.
Tonight, I'm being forced to become his wife.

Dominico Sicura.
The man who ruined me for all others.
My first taste of sin.
My first brush with devastation.
And now? I'm being sold to him with a diamond ring and a marriage contract.

My father thinks marrying me off to Dom will protect our empire.
What no one knows is that Dom already owned me once—and threw me away.

Now he's back to claim his prize.
But I'm not the innocent girl he left behind.
So I fight him at every turn… even as his dangerous games set my blood on fire.

His charm is poison now. His smirks don't make me weak anymore. His touch doesn't…

Sweet heaven.
I won't be his plaything again.

Not when his rival kidnaps me.
Not when Dom tears the city apart to find me.
Not even when he pins me against the wall and marks my skin with sinful promises of all the ways he'll make me scream his name.

But then he does the one thing I never saw coming.
He breaks my resistance.
He makes me crawl.
And the most wicked part?
I'm already begging for more.

I'm chasing the most dangerous woman I've ever met.
The real danger? She might just catch me first.

She's a mafia princess searching for her missing twin.
I'm a detective determined to bring down her family.
We're playing a dangerous game of cat and mouse… and I'm not sure who's winning.

She's ice-cold perfection with a heart of steel.
I'm hell-bent on justice, no matter the cost.
There's no way this ends well for either of us.

Lana D'Amato would do anything to find her brother.
Even seduce the enemy.

I dangle the bait, and she bites.
One dinner. One lie. One taste of forbidden fruit.

Now we're trapped in a web of secrets and lies.
Each touch a betrayal, each kiss a confession.

I tell myself it's just for the case.
She swears it's only for information.

But when danger strikes and Lana's life hangs in the balance,
I realize I've made a fatal mistake.

I've fallen for the enemy.

Now I have to choose:
My badge or her heart?
Justice or love?

Because in this game of cat and mouse,
We might both end up caught.
