Mafia's desire: A love that kills

Synopsis: Sophia, a journalist, investigates organized crime. Dante, a mafia underboss, is tasked with stopping her. But Sophia's determination and intelligence intrigue him. As they engage in a cat-and-mouse game, Dante finds himself torn between duty and desire. CHAPTER 1: "Deadline Looming"* Sophia Russo tapped her pen impatiently on her desk, staring at the blank page in front of her. Her editor, Mark, had been breathing down her neck all morning. "Sophia, where's the mafia exposé?" Mark asked, his voice firm but laced with annoyance. "You've had weeks to work on this. I need something concrete by the end of the day." Sophia took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing thoughts. "I'm close, Mark. Just need to verify some sources." Mark's expression turned skeptical. "Verify? You've been verifying for months. I need results, Sophia." As Mark walked away, Sophia's phone buzzed with an incoming text: "Meet me at the coffee shop on 5th and Main at 7 pm. Come alone. -A" Sophia's heart skipped a beat. Alex, her reliable source, rarely contacted her directly. She glanced around the newsroom, ensuring no one watched, before quickly typing: "See you then." The message sent, Sophia's mind whirled with possibilities. What did Alex have for her? Was it finally the break she needed? The pressure from Mark still lingered, but Sophia's determination reignited. She would get this story. As she processed the message, a sudden wave of déjà vu washed over her. The newsroom around her blurred, and Sophia felt herself transported back in time. She saw herself as a teenager, sitting in the backseat of her parents' car, laughing and arguing with her mom about college plans. The sound of screeching tires and shattering glass shattered the memory. Sophia's heart raced as she relived the horror of that fateful night. Her parents' faces flashed before her: her father's encouraging smile, her mother's unwavering determination. The accident's aftermath unfolded like a cruel slideshow – the hospital, the funeral, the loneliness. Sophia's gaze drifted to the silver necklace around her neck, the press badge pendant a tangible connection to her parents' legacy.

Crimson Whispers: A Love Bound In Shadows

The glittering world of wealth and crime collide as Liliana Russo, an innocent, pure, and fragile soul but a fierce, defiant, and independent person, an heiress trapped in the shadows of her family's sprawling criminal empire, longs for an escape from the cold, gilded life she's forced to lead. Scarred by betrayal and bound by blood, she has learned that in her world, trust is as dangerous as love. Enter Dante Moretti, his name is synonymous with fear throughout the city's elite. Ruthless, calculating, untouchable, cruel and cold hearted, the Mafia prince with an icy calm navigates the underworld, ruling it with an iron fist. But when their respective worlds collide, sparks fly, and what began as a volatile attraction quickly spirals into a forbidden passion. Dante's charismatic presence brings forth a fire within Liliana that she had never experienced and was forbidden to; whereas her innocence, defiance, and wildness call to him in desire and in intrigue, he finds that she challenges his coldness and detachment in ways that shake his very rigid control. As the dangerous attraction continues to intensify, Liliana is thrust into a world of secrets being deadly, fragile alliances, and enemies around every corner. The distinction between love and destruction grows increasingly fuzzy as their decisions bring them closer to the precipice of betrayal that might be their undoing. In a city where danger and desire walk hand-in-hand, Liliana and Dante must navigate a labyrinth of passion and peril, but the cost of their love may be their very lives. ______________________ Please support me, this is my first time writing a novel. I'll try to post at least 1 chapter a day.

Shadow of Valor

In the chaos of World War II, the island of Sicily becomes a fierce battleground, not only between Axis and Allied forces but among those hungry for power. Luca De Luca, the younger son of the notorious mafia Don Vito De Luca, returns home after serving in the Italian army, only to find his homeland on the brink of destruction. His father, once a feared mafia leader, now plays a dangerous game, manipulating both the Germans and the Allies to secure his family's legacy. Torn between loyalty to his family and disgust at their ruthless actions, Luca is thrust into a deadly web of betrayal, war, and rebellion. His ambitious brother, Antonio, conspires with the occupying Nazi forces, while Luca secretly forges alliances with the local resistance fighters, determined to free Sicily from both fascist occupation and the mafia’s control. As the Allied invasion draws near, Luca must navigate the treacherous waters of mafia politics, wartime espionage, and family betrayal. His only allies are a group of resistance fighters, including Sophia Russo, the daughter of a key rebel leader and a woman with whom Luca shares a complicated past. Together, they race against time to sabotage the German war effort while outwitting Antonio’s growing ambitions. But in a world where trust is scarce and enemies often wear familiar faces, Luca discovers that the greatest threat to Sicily’s future might not be the Germans or the Allies, but his own family. Caught between the legacy of his father and the hope for a free Sicily, Luca must decide where his true loyalty lies—before the war consumes everything he loves. Shadow of Valor is a riveting saga of family, loyalty, and survival, set against the brutal backdrop of World War II Sicily, where the lines between hero and villain blur, and honor comes with a steep price.
