   She's a romantic at heart, living in the most unromantic of worlds . . . Nicknamed Sweet Abelli for her docile nature, Elena smiles on cue and has a charming response for everything. She's the favored daughter, the perfect mafia principessa . . . or was. Now, all she can see in the mirror's reflection is blood staining her hands like crimson paint. They say first impressions are everything . . . In the murky waters of New York's underworld, Elena's sister is arranged to marry Nicolas Russo. A Made Man, a boss, a cheat-even measured against mafia standards. His reputation stretches far and wide and is darker than his black suits and ties. After his and Elena's first encounter ends with an accidental glare on her part, she realizes he's just as rude as he is handsome. She doesn't like the man or anything he stands for, though that doesn't stop her heart from pattering like rain against glass when he's near, nor the shiver that ghosts down her spine at the sound of his voice. And he's always near. Telling her what to do. Making her feel hotter than any future brother-in-law should. Elena may be the Sweet Abelli on the outside, but she's beginning to learn she has a taste for the darkness, for rough hands, cigarettes, and whiskey-colored eyes. Having already escaped one scandal, however, she can hardly afford to be swept up in another. Besides, even if he were hers, everyone knows you don't fall in love with a Made Man . . . right? This is a standalone forbidden romance.

The Sweetest Oblivion

She fears the dark.He rules it.Her dresses are too tight, her heels too tall. She laughs too loudly, eats without decorum, and mixes up most sayings in the book.

Christian Allister has always followed the life plan he'd envisioned in his youth, beneath the harsh lights of a frigid, damp cell. With a proclivity for order and the number three, he's never been tempted to veer off course. But perhaps one should never say never . . .One winter night and their lives intertwine. She hates him--his stone-cold demeanor, his arrogance and too-perceptive eye--but over the years, even as their games consist of insulting each other's looks and intelligence, she begins to live to play with him.Nowhere in Christian's plans had he ever prepared for Gianna.

I was a simple farm girl living in the magical land, Alyria, where men ruled and women only existed. Call me sheltered. Call me naive. I was probably both. I never expected to be the key to Alyria's destruction. The journey I was on wasn't only one to save me. But one where I had a lot of learning to do. With men. With magic. And with myself. But I wasn't alone. I had an escort. One I wasn't so sure about. But one I couldn't afford to lose and one I wasn't so sure I could even leave. I had many hopes. But the most important one was that my name wouldn't become my fate.

A Girl Named Calamity

roman

Not a saint

My once upon a time didn't end with happily ever after-but with blood-stained hands and cold blue eyes. The story of my life had been laid beneath my feet since childhood, but until death, I'd never known that road was paved with stones called lies. In this city of sun and heat, cloaked in dark, both inside and out, I became somebody other than Farm Girl. There was no assassin behind my back. No, my shackles were just as tight but came in a different form. Like Death's icy fingers running down my spine, the ones that had gripped me for months, my past haunted my present in the guise of nostalgia. My old chains still left marks on my skin, their owner's gaze following behind. But he didn't know I lived. He didn't know I was so close, that I heard his name spoken every day. That I still hated him. Until my hate started tasting suspiciously different. One mistake and everything I'd created unraveled. A liar. Corruptor. He stood in front of me now. The air was heavy with expectation, tense with the possibilities of how this would unfold, of what he would do. But there was always two sides to every story, and maybe in this version, the corruptor wasn't him, but me.

A Girl with a Tragic Ever After

Soprannominata la Dolce Abelli per la sua natura docile, Elena sorride ogni volta che è necessario e sa sempre dare le risposte giuste. È la figlia preferita, la perfetta principessa della mafia o… almeno, lo era. Ora, tutto quello che vede nel riflesso allo specchio è il sangue che le macchia le mani come vernice rossa. Nelle torbide acque della malavita di New York, la sorella di Elena è promessa in sposa a Nicolas Russo. Un uomo d’onore, un boss.… anche se è considerato un imbroglione rispetto agli standard della mafia. Dopo che il loro primo incontro si conclude in modo imprevisto, Elena si rende conto che Nico è tanto scortese quanto è bello. Nico non le piace, come non le piace ciò che rappresenta. Questo, però, non impedisce al suo cuore di battere con una forza mai provata prima quando lui è vicino. E lui è sempre vicino: le dice cosa fare e cosa provare, rivestendo un ruolo che un cognato non dovrebbe assumere. Elena, che è già sfuggita a uno scandalo, comincia a chiedersi cosa può fare per evitare le attenzioni di Nico, anche perché sa molto bene che non si può davvero amare un uomo d’onore… giusto?

Il mio dolce oblio

La Tentación Más Oscura / the Darkest Temptation (Made 3)

Una giovane donna che cerca risposte. Un uomo che vuole vendetta. Luce e ombra sono due opposti, o sono le due parti che formano un intero? Mila è la figlia ideale: esce solo con bravi ragazzi, si comporta come ci si aspetta da lei e, soprattutto, non fa domande. Neanche sulle lunghe assenze del padre, o sul motivo per cui lui le vieta di mettere piede nel suo paese natale: la Russia. Finché un giorno dice basta alle regole, alle domande senza risposte, e fa quello che desidera da sempre: sale su un aereo per Mosca. Un viaggio, un uomo, una passione che divampa furiosa e inaspettata. Poi, il tradimento. Le carezze si trasformano in una stretta rude che soffoca le sue grida. E Mila si scopre ancora una volta pedina di un gioco più grande di lei. Una cosa, però, non è cambiata: il suo disperato bisogno di scoprire la verità.

La mia oscura tentazione

Lei ha paura del buio, lui lo domina. Gianna è una ragazza sfrontata che ostenta spesso un atteggiamento sopra le righe. Pochi sanno che la sua è solo una maschera scintillante, una facciata utile a nascondere non solo la persona che è davvero, ma anche tutte le sue fragilità. Christian Allister vive di contraddizioni letali: la maggior parte delle persone vede in lui un modello di moralità e un difensore della Legge, ma Christian è in realtà un’ombra spietata nel mondo della malavita newyorkese. Ossessionato dall’ordine e dal numero tre, ha pianificato ogni dettaglio della sua esistenza. Il loro incontro, però, scombina ogni cosa… Lei lo odia per la sua freddezza calcolata e per il modo in cui la osserva, come se potesse leggere ogni suo segreto, eppure non può fare a meno di essere attratta da lui. Christian non avrebbe nemmeno dovuto notarla: Gianna è caos puro, appartiene a un altro uomo, e rappresenta tutto ciò che nella sua vita ordinata non dovrebbe trovare spazio. In un mondo dove nulla è come sembra, una folle ossessione riuscirà a unire due anime ferite e, all’apparenza, tanto diverse?

La locura más ardiente

Dieses Buch ist eine Dark Romance und wir empfehlen es für Leser:innen ab 18 Jahren. Bitte lest euch vorab die Triggerwarnung durch. Liebe ist eine Obsession. Einige würden sogar sagen ... die gefährlichste Obsession Als Mitglied der mächtigsten Mafia-Familie von New York hat Gianna Russo eigentlich alles, was sie je begehren könnte - doch der Schein trügt. Denn auch wenn Gianna es nicht wahrhaben will, ist ihre Ehe mit einem der einflussreichsten Männer der Cosa Nostra nicht mehr als ein Zweckbündnis. Getrieben von ihrem sehnlichsten Wunsch, echte Gefühle für jemanden zu empfinden und geliebt zu werden, klammert sie sich an diese ungesunde Beziehung und hält so die Fassade der eigenwilligen und lauten Gianna Russo aufrecht. Niemand weiß, wie es ihr wirklich geht - bis sie den korrupten FBI-Agenten Christian Allister kennenlernt. Christian ist beherrscht, verschlossen und kühl und damit das absolute Gegenteil zu Giannas Chaos. Doch seine durchdringenden blauen Augen blicken hinter all die Mauern, die Gianna um sich errichtet hat. Und obwohl sie unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten und jede Begegnung in einem hitzigen Wortgefecht endet, ist da auch etwas Unerklärliches zwischen ihnen, das über die Jahre immer stärker wird. Dabei ahnt Gianna nicht, dass Christian so viel mehr über sie weiß, als er vorgibt, und schon längst entschieden hat, dass sie allein ihm gehört ... »Diese Enemies-to-Lovers-Geschichte ist ein Wirbelwind aus prickelnden Emotionen - mit einer düsteren Atmosphäre, die euch in ihren Bann ziehen wird. Fesselnd von der ersten bis zur letzten Seite. Ich jedenfalls bin obsessed!« ENDLESSBOOKWORLD Band 2 der MADE-Reihe von Bestseller-Autorin Danielle Lori
