The Mafia's Desired Dreams.

Every dreamy girl wants a Mafia man, but the question is, does the Mafia man want you? Luna Defalco is a woman born into the Mafia life. Her father was in the Mafia, her cousins were in the Mafia, her mother died in the Mafia and now, even the man she loves is the almighty Mafia boss himself. There's just one minor hiccup, Zeno Silvestri, Luna's love interest, sees her as nothing more than a childish little sister. To make matters worse, he remains in love with his dead wife. When a threat on both their lives forces them to abscond to an island owned by Zeno, Luna must take this God-given chance to prove to Zeno that she is no longer that little child he's known all his life and make him fall for her womanly charms by all means. What happens when Zeno's brotherly feelings for Luna begin to shift? Can he accept this shift in affection or will he hold on to his dead lover? *** Excerpt “Zeno, what do you think love is?” Luna asked. Her sudden question made him turn from the grasses he was lazily plucking out of the moist earth, to stare at her. “Not what the dictionary tells us, but to you, what is love?" She wasn't joking, he could see it. Wiping the dirt off his palms, he sat himself next to her on the dried log of wood which she sat on. In and out he breathed like he was sincerely thinking about her question. Then without looking at her, his lips parted and he said, “A mirror.” "A mirror?" She asked. "Yes. A mirror.” He nodded and sighed. “Love is a mirror that reflects the deepest part of a person's soul. A mirror that reflects pain and suffering, but also joy and ecstasy, it's a mirror that reflects the heart just the way it is, naked and helpless. It's a mirror that reflects life, and that mirror is made of frail glass, hold it too tight, and it'll shatter, don't hold it tight enough, and it'll slip right out of your fingers and still shatter, if you try to pick up the broken pieces, you'll hurt yourself, that's why it's never easy to pick up the broken pieces, and neither can you just leave it there and get another mirror. Someone else might get hurt. Either way, love is hurtful." She had asked for his own take on love and he had given her the answer. Now she wanted to be bold. “Zeno, I no longer want to be that little baby girl that you adore.” His head turned as his eyes sought to look at her as though that would help him hear better. “Let me help you. I think if we pick up the broken pieces of the previous mirror together, it'll hurt less. And after we've cleared out the shattered pieces, then… then I want to be your new mirror.”

A FIRE BETWEEN TWO WORLDS

In an immortal world on the brink of destruction, the Jade Emperor, Guan Yu Xian, sends Zhao Ming, the most formidable fire god, to the mortal world on a mission to find the Mirror of Nine Flames-a sacred artifact capable of restoring balance to the universe. The Eternal Sky was in the midst of a great war after Ying Feng, the winged clan leader, launched an attack to seize the heavenly throne. One by one, the gods died in the devastating battle, including Mei Lian, the wind goddess who became Zhao Ming's lover. Stranded in the Tang Dynasty desert, Zhao Ming was rescued by a caravan of silk merchants. With no intact memory of his identity as a god, he wanders with Lang Fei, a former bandit leader who becomes his apprentice. Fate leads him to meet Xiao Ying, an imperial court astronomer who mysteriously shares a similar face with Mei Lian. The search for the Nine Flame Mirror takes Zhao Ming and Xiao Ying on a dangerous adventure, crossing various obstacles and palace conspiracies. The two fall in love, but their love is hindered by their different worlds and missions: Zhao Ming wants to use the mirror to save the immortal world, while Xiao Ying must protect the people of the Tang Dynasty from a threat they don't understand. However, an even greater danger lurks when Ying Feng manages to infiltrate the human world through a dimensional rift. With the help of Yi Kun, a mountain god who turns out to be her own son, and Hai Luo, a lake god who has lost his identity, Ying Feng tries to rule the mortal and immortal worlds at once. Crown Prince Li Chen, the successor to the Tang Dynasty throne, becomes the target of their manipulation to destroy the balance of the two worlds. Amidst the battle between the two worlds, secrets of the past are revealed. A lost love, a betrayal, and an unexpected blood bond will determine the fate of the entire existence. Only with the power of true love and great sacrifice can the balance of the universe possibly be restored.
