Malavai Quinn

The Mafia’s Favorite Threat

EXCERPT: “How did you get past the guards and track me to my private residence?” Lucien asked Meret. “A magician never reveals her secrets.” “You’re not a magician. You’re a thief.” “That’s a bit rude.” She raised a brow. “I’m sure there are friendlier synonyms. Like…‘unauthorized relocation specialist’?” “Thief.” he repeated, deadpan. ****************** She stole from him but He doesn’t want the art back… he wants her. ~~ Meret Quinn is a professional thief, known for vanishing without a trace and never leaving behind more than a calling card that nobody has ever managed to trace. She steals high-value artifacts for the thrill, not the money. Trust is a weakness to her and love is a liability she left behind a long time ago. But her latest job puts her on the radar of Lucien Moretti, a mafia billionaire with a taste for control and a reputation for never letting anyone get away with crossing him. He was supposed to make her disappear. Instead, he took something she actually cared about — her dog, Cray Cray. A secret no one was ever supposed to know. Now, if she wants him back, she has to play his game. One house. One lie. One string of impossible missions designed to flush out his enemies. And one condition she never expected: she has to pose as his fiancée until the job is done. She hates every second. He enjoys every minute. But pretending to be wanted by a man like him starts to blur lines — especially when he whispers things in her ear… and means them. Neither of them is used to losing. But obsession doesn’t play fair. CONTENT WARNING: This story is strongly 18+. It delves into dark romance themes such as obsession, control, lust, and manipulation, with morally complex characters navigating dangerous desires. While this is a love story, reader discretion is advised.

Substitute Wife For The Blind CEO

On the day of her wedding, Ivy Quinn vanishes, leaving behind only a note: "I’m sorry, I can't marry a blind man." To protect her son from heartbreak, Elizabeth Winters strikes a desperate deal—Ruby, Ivy’s identical twin, must take her sister’s place at the altar. Trapped by duty and family pressure, Ruby agrees, believing it will only last until Stefan’s eyesight is restored. But from the moment they marry, Stefan senses something is different about his "wife." The woman beside him is nothing like the shallow fiancée he once knew. She’s sharp, resilient, and understands his business in a way Ivy never did. Against all odds, he falls harder than ever for this new version of her. And Ruby? She never expected to fall in love with a man who was never meant to be hers. But just when she finds the courage to tell him the truth, Ivy returns, ready to reclaim the life she abandoned. When Stefan finally opens his eyes, will he see the woman who truly stood by him—or will he be too blind to recognize real love? ****Excerpt**** “By the way, did Ruby come to the wedding?” he asked, catching her off guard since she hadn't expected him to ask her that all of a sudden. Was he already suspecting that it was her and not Ivy? Ruby’s fingers froze on the door handle for just a fraction of a second. It was enough to set off alarms in Stefan's head. “I—uh…” She hesitated, but only briefly. “No. She had work. She couldn’t make it.” Was he suspecting a switch already? What must have set off the alarm in his head? Stefan hummed, tilting his head slightly. “Oh, I see. How is she, then? I hope she's coming to visit one of these days?” Her fingers tightened on the handle, though her voice remained steady. “Yeah. She would, the moment she is chanced and can come.” A slow smirk tugged at the corner of Stefan’s lips, though he kept his expression neutral. Interesting. Very interesting. His wife had just lied to him and he didn't know why. Even though he was blind, he'd find out why soon enough.

Reborn As A Demon Queen With A Big D!

Alicia Quinn was an AV superstar and also a high-class courtesan who only dated billionaires and global elites. In secret, of course. They’d bark and howling just to have a wonderful night with her. On the outside, she appeared to be the happiest woman ever lived. Many women and men were jealous of all the wealth that she had after literally slaving herself in the industry since she graduated from the orphanage.

After nearly a decade of antidepressants abuse and a destructive lifestyle of drug use along with alcohol, something was developing inside her body until it was far too late to fix—Breast cancer.

Knowing that death had knocked the door, she donated every penny, every asset under her name to the World Cancer Research Fund. Before she died, however, Alicia muttered her last words; “I wish, I could be reborn as a man, and fuck every hot chick in the world!” Due to her selfless act of donating all of her fortune, Goddess of Pleasure Lilithya granted her wish to live a second life.

Yes, you read it right my fellow men and women of culture. She became Demon Queen with a coxk. When push comes to shove, Alicia has no choice but to live with it.

Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO

Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

Esposa Sustituta Para el CEO Ciego

El día de su boda, Ivy Quinn desaparece, dejando solo una nota: "Lo siento, no puedo casarme con un hombre ciego". Para proteger a su hijo de la angustia, Elizabeth Winters hace un trato desesperado: Ruby, la gemela idéntica de Ivy, debe tomar el lugar de su hermana en el altar.

Es inteligente, resiliente y entiende su negocio de una manera que Ivy nunca lo hizo. Contra todo pronóstico, se enamora más que nunca de esta nueva versión de ella. ¿Y Ruby? Nunca esperó enamorarse de un hombre que nunca debió ser suyo. Pero justo cuando encuentra el valor para decirle la verdad, Ivy regresa, lista para reclamar la vida que abandonó. Cuando Stefan finalmente abre los ojos, ¿verá a la mujer que realmente estuvo a su lado, o estará demasiado ciego para reconocer el amor verdadero? ****Extracto**** "Por cierto, ¿Ruby vino a la boda?" preguntó, tomándola por sorpresa ya que no esperaba que le preguntara eso de repente. ¿Ya sospechaba que era ella y no Ivy? Los dedos de Ruby se congelaron en el picaporte por solo una fracción de segundo. Fue suficiente para activar las alarmas en la cabeza de Stefan. "Yo—eh..." Dudó, pero solo brevemente. "No. Tenía trabajo. No pudo venir". ¿Ya sospechaba un cambio? ¿Qué habría activado la alarma en su cabeza? Stefan murmuró, inclinando ligeramente la cabeza. "Oh, ya veo. ¿Cómo está ella, entonces? ¿Espero que venga a visitarnos uno de estos días?" Sus dedos se tensaron en el picaporte, aunque su voz se mantuvo firme. "Sí. Lo haría, en el momento en que tenga la oportunidad y pueda venir". Una lenta sonrisa se dibujó en la comisura de los labios de Stefan, aunque mantuvo su expresión neutral. Interesante. Muy interesante. Su esposa acababa de mentirle y él no sabía por qué. Aunque estaba ciego, lo descubriría muy pronto.

Caught in a whirlwind of deception, passion, and power plays, Delilah grapples with their growing feelings. As their con deepens, she must confront the ultimate question: Can she open her heart to love and trust again? ****Exerpt**** Delilah’s eyes darted to the marriage certificate again, the official seal glaring back at her. Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)
