The Shadow King
Mafia Ethan Reyes is a millionaire businessman, co-owner of Stone Global and Liam Stone's trusted best friend. To the world he's bright, charming, dependable--the man everyone admires and no one suspects. He's just the favourite uncle who has time for him to seven-year-old Noah.
But beyond his decent exterior lies a frightening secret.
Ethan is the Shadow King, the secretive head of Asia's largest criminal intelligence syndicate. His empire controls information, underground finance and private security, crushing the criminal organisations that threaten his planet. Ethan is ruthless. Calculating. Untouchable. For the last fifteen years, he's been creating an empire out of the ashes of his father's death. No one knows his real identity, and he doesn't want to tell anyone.
Until Serene Gomez comes back.
Serene is the daughter of a slain mob boss. For years she's been living in Europe, plotting to take back her family's legacy. Convinced Ethan Reyes murdered her father, she goes home with one mission: destroy the guy she believes is responsible for all she lost.
Their first meeting ignites a palpable connection, but neither is ready to give in. And Ethan is watching her every step, while Serene is discreetly investigating him. An assassination attempt forces him to rescue her, and their hate tangles with a desire neither can fathom.
As Serene draws closer to the truth, she learns Ethan is far more deadly than she ever dreamed. When he finds her sneaking into his hidden business he takes her to a secure safe house where safety becomes captivity and their burgeoning passion threatens to tear down their carefully guarded defences.
Then Serene discovers information that ties Ethan to her father's death.
Heartbroken and angry, she runs away not knowing that the proof was part of an intricate scheme aimed to turn them against one another.
But when competing crime families band together against the Shadow Empire, Ethan finds himself facing foes bent on destroying everything he has built. The truth is a cruel betrayal. Serene's father was murdered by his own brother, Sean Gomez, who falsified evidence to hide his crimes and grab power.
Now Ethan must wage a war on numerous fronts as he tries to win back the lady who thinks he's a monster. But when Sean kidnaps Serene the Shadow King unleashes a fury that could destroy the entire underworld.
Meanwhile, Ethan's carefully built double existence starts to unravel when Liam finds out the truth. Years of secrets threaten their friendship and Ethan has to face the one thing his empire can't save him from-losing the people he loves.
With the ultimate battle looming, Ethan must choose between continuing as the merciless monarch he was raised to be or taking a chance on a future with Serene.
In a world of secrets, treachery, and blood, love can be the most perilous gamble of all.
And when the conflict is ended, the Shadow King may finally see that the greatest empire he could ever establish is not one of dread, but a family that will stand with him.

Contract With The Devil: Love In Shackles
Dorine Koestler I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved.
He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again.
"Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion.
That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports.
For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian.
In return, he treated me like furniture.
He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste.
I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home.
So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco.
I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage.
But I underestimated Dante.
When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat.
He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away. The Mafia Don's Unwanted Genius Wife
My Sweet Super Wife I was the most loyal wife of Alessandro, the coldest and most ruthless mafia godfather of the underworld.
Three years ago, my husband's pregnant mistress, Valentina, framed me. She claimed that I had killed her unborn child, and my husband believed her without a moment's hesitation.
Only because the old Matriarch of the mafia had saved my life seven years ago — and because I owed her that so-called "debt of life" — I gritted my teeth and agreed to serve as the mistress's shield under the banner of the legitimate wife, until her new child was safely delivered.
At the banquet, the society ladies sneered at me:
"The mighty Mafia Dona, reduced to the mistress's personal nanny."
When Valentina demanded the silver pendant my parents had left me, he merely ordered flatly:
"It's just a necklace. What is all this fuss about?"
His voice was cold to the core. He believed he had long since crushed every ounce of pride I had.
But he never knew that the life debt I was repaying had nothing to do with him.
The moment that bastard child was born, my account with the Cavallaro family would be settled in full.
I slapped the divorce papers down on his desk and blocked his number.
Without looking back, I boarded a one-way flight to Europe.
I was going to take back an empire of my own. Abandoned Heiress, Now His Mafia Bride
Priority I was tracing the gold paint on my own tombstone when a hand tapped me on the shoulder.
It was Clayton.
The same man who, five years ago, had left me bleeding out in a ditch because he didn't want to be late for my sister's engagement party.
"Die quietly, Ivy," he had said over the phone before hanging up.
Now, standing over my grave, he dropped his cheap plastic flowers in shock.
"Ivy? You're... we buried you."
They hadn't buried me.
They had buried an empty box to save face, mourning a "troubled" daughter they had actually discarded like broken trash the moment I became a liability.
Clayton's shock quickly turned to that familiar, arrogant anger.
He accused me of faking my death for attention.
He told me I was sick for putting the family through such pain.
He even reached out to grab my arm, intending to drag me back to my father to apologize.
"You're coming with me," he spat. "You owe us an explanation."
But he made a fatal mistake.
He thought he was talking to Ivy Dillard, the soft girl who cried when she skinned her knees.
He didn't notice the town car waiting at the curb, or the man stepping out of it.
Before Clayton's fingers could graze my coat, a hand made of steel caught his wrist.
Collin Richardson, the most feared Capo in Chicago, stepped between us.
"Touch my wife again," Collin whispered, his voice promising violence. "And you lose the hand."
I smiled at the terror draining the color from Clayton's face.
I didn't come back from the dead to explain myself.
I came back to bury them. Betrayed by My Boyfriend, Claimed by the Mafia Boss
Krystal Catherine loved Marco with all her heart.
Until she discovered that he had betrayed her with her own sister.

Fading Signal On our wedding day, my brother made a joke.
"For every minute the groom is late, he pays five hundred dollars!"
Enzo, the city's most feared mafia Don, was six minutes late.
He laughed and handed over three thousand dollars in cash without blinking.
Seeing his generosity, my father confidently entrusted my life to him.
But the moment the wedding ring was on my finger, Enzo looked at me with a dark, chilling smile.
"Your family likes this game, right?" he whispered coldly.
"From now on, every minute you are late, I deduct five hundred dollars from your allowance."
Year one: I was three minutes late to a Syndicate dinner. He deducted fifteen hundred dollars.
Year two: I was twelve minutes late to my doctor's appointment. He deducted six thousand dollars.
Year four: On our anniversary, my father suffered a massive brain hemorrhage.
I rushed him to the hospital in the pouring rain and arrived at the restaurant forty minutes late.
Enzo glanced at the cold steak on the table and smirked.
"Twenty thousand dollars. It comes out of your account tomorrow."
I didn't argue. I just nodded.
When we got home, he carelessly tossed his tablet to me, asking me to check the parking fee.
But the moment the screen unlocked, a new notification popped up.
[Transferred $5,000 to Valentina. Memo: An apology for making you wait ten minutes.]
My hands trembled as I opened his chat history.
When she was one minute late for their date, he sent her five hundred dollars.
When she didn't show up at the hotel, he wired her ten thousand to coax her.
And this very afternoon, while I was begging the doctors to save my dying father, Enzo was in a luxury suite, paying his mistress an apology fee.
Scrolling up, I found over a thousand transactions for custom lingerie and luxury hotels, dating back six years.
He had been with her two years before he even married me.
The next morning, I wired him the exact twenty thousand dollars for my anniversary fine.
Then, I booked a Syndicate severance lawyer. The Mafia Heiress's Ruthless Revenge
Blair Dippel I was happily pregnant through IVF, thinking I had finally built a perfect life with my billionaire husband, Dante.
Then, an anonymous photo led me to a hidden drawer in his study, where I found a vasectomy confirmation dated a full year before we even started trying for a baby.
My world shattered when I went to his office for answers and overheard him talking to his assistant.
"This marriage, this child... it's all a sacrifice. I needed the perfect substitute to build up and destroy, just to prove my loyalty to Elara."
The painful IVF injections, my precious pregnancy, our entire marriage—it was all a meticulously crafted performance for his childhood sweetheart. He even planned to publicly humiliate me at an upcoming gala as a welcome gift for her return.
I wept for the years I had wasted and for my innocent unborn child, conceived merely as a pawn in their sick, twisted game. They thought they could discard me like trash because they believed I was just a helpless orphan with no one to turn to.
But they didn't know I had spent the last three years hiding my true identity for the sake of this marriage. Wiping away my tears, I picked up my phone and called my father, the most feared underground king in the world. The Crimson Throne

Eileen I was the wife of Brennan Johnson, the head of the Sterling Syndicate. For years, I was the perfect partner, helping him climb from a young enforcer to the undisputed boss, believing he was the man who had once saved my life and promised to protect me forever.
That illusion shattered when I overheard him promising that same protection to a young art student he was sleeping with.
When I confronted him, he called me tainted and complicated. When I asked for a divorce, he cut my cheek with shattered glass and snarled that I belonged to him. He publicly gave my foundation and a necklace meant for me to his mistress, declaring her his "one and only" in front of the entire city.
The ultimate betrayal came when we were both kidnapped. The kidnappers held a knife to each of our throats and told him to choose.
He looked at me, his wife, and said, "I choose her."

I faked my death, escaped the country, and built a new life from the ashes of the old one. I was finally free.
