A Kiss of Crime

Dr. Rose Cruz was born to heal, not to hurt. Fiercely independent and brilliant, she dreams of completing her advanced medical studies so she can specialize in Neurosurgery. But when her family's once-thriving business suddenly collapses under mysterious pressure, her world is shattered. Left with no choice, her father agrees to a devastating deal. Rose must marry Dante Salvadore, the enigmatic heir to a powerful and feared mafia empire. What she doesn't know is that Dante orchestrated their downfall-manipulating her family's bankruptcy to claim her as his bride since she rejected him occasionally. To him, it's simple: his ailing father demands a wife who is not just beautiful but intelligent-someone capable of building a legacy worthy of the Salvadore name. Forced into a cage, Rose enters Dante's dark world full of secrets, blood, and power games. But the deeper she's drawn into his empire, the closer she comes to discovering the truth behind her family's ruin-and the man who wears the mask of her husband. When betrayal meets desire, and revenge clashes with passion, Rose must choose: destroy the man who broke her... or risk everything for the one who unexpectedly owns her heart.

Peter Kavinsky was once a brilliant engineer with nothing but dreams and a tarnished name. After a stay in jail made him unemployable, life only grew harder. Struggling to provide for his three children, Peter watched helplessly as his wife, Bennie, grew tired of poverty and left him for a wealthier man-handing him some money and full custody before walking away. Her departure shattered their family, leaving emotional scars on all of them-especially the youngest daughter, who became mute at just two years old.

She stays-and slowly, everything begins to change. But just as their guarded hearts begin to thaw, the past returns with a vengeance. Bennie wants back in. And Daniel-Ashley's obsessive boyfriend who becomes her ex will do anything to destroy what they're building. With old wounds, new enemies, and buried secrets threatening to ruin them, Peter and Ashley must decide: will they let life tear them apart, or fight for the love they never saw coming?

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate."

"Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
