"I want to hear it from you. I want to watch you look me in the eye and tell me they aren't mine… without looking away even once." I swallowed hard, because the game he was playing was cruel. I knew that the slightest flicker in my expression would feed his suspicions. I lifted my chin, met his gaze without blinking, and spoke slowly, "They. Are. Not. Yours." The muscle in Damian's jaw tightened, and his breath brushed my face, warm and steady. "You've gotten better at this, Harper," he murmured, using my last name like a provocation. "But you're still not that good." "Or maybe you're just hearing what you want to hear," I shot back, fighting the suffocating closeness. "You hate losing. But sometimes, losing is inevitable. Accept it and get out of my life." Stella was desperate. After dropping out of college to pay off the debts her father left behind, all she wanted was a fresh start, even if that meant forging a résumé and swallowing her pride to land a job as the secretary to the ruthless CEO Damian Winter. What she didn't expect was that her new boss would be as irresistible as he was dangerous. Or that a series of sharp provocations and intense encounters would lead to an indecent contract. A secret agreement ruled by power and desire, in which Stella committed to satisfying Damian's every whim, with one single condition: she could never get pregnant. But what would happen when Stella discovered she had broken that rule? Now pregnant and emotionally shattered, Stella learned from the news on TV that Damian was engaged to a wealthy heiress. Hiding the truth seemed like her only option. But secrets would never stay buried forever.

Dante Bellandi, the eldest son of a ruthless Reggio Calabria clan leader, is thrust into a vortex of power following his father’s sudden death. At just twenty-three, Dante becomes the unexpected heir to an empire built on blood and betrayal, facing enemies lurking in every shadow—and allies whose loyalty is as fickle as their moods. Amid the chaos, his world collides with Svetlana’s—a gifted ballerina who lives for the spotlight, unaware of the dark secrets that rule the underworld of Italian crime. An unexpected abduction tears her from her dreamlike existence, forcing her to confront a perilous reality where love and revenge are two sides of the same coin. As Dante and Svetlana grapple with their own demons, an unforeseen attraction sparks between them, threatening to dismantle the walls they’ve built to protect themselves. But in the world of the mafia, love is no luxury—it’s a weapon that could destroy them both. Caught between conspiracies, fractured loyalties, and a legacy that threatens to consume him, Dante must choose: fight for the power he inherited… or risk everything for the one woman who could save him—or doom him.

She had dreamed of a fairy tale. He turned her dream into a ruthless contract. Olivia Bittencourt worked as an administrator at her father’s engineering firm. Romantic and devoted, she had always dreamed of building a family—and she believed she had found that future beside her boyfriend. On the night she finally decided to give herself to him, she was drugged by the very man she loved—who had planned to “sell” her virginity to his boss in exchange for a promotion. But a mix-up in hotel suites changed everything: Olivia ended up in the arms of a cold CEO, addicted to women, who didn’t believe in love or forever. From that forbidden night came an unexpected pregnancy. Desperate to save her brother from loan sharks and protect her heart-fragile father, Olivia used the card left behind that night to pay the debt… and ended up in Liam Holt’s hands.

Under pressure, she agreed to a one-year contract marriage—pretending to be the billionaire’s perfect wife. Between hatred, desire, and secrets, Olivia discovered it was impossible to pretend forever… and that this contract could be her prison—or the path to a great love.

Há um velho código dentro da máfia italiana, passado de geração em geração: "O juramento é sagrado. Quem quebra, morre. Quem ama, enfraquece." Amara Bellucci nunca quis fazer parte desse mundo, mas o sangue dela carrega o peso do nome Bellucci — uma das famílias mafiosas mais temidas da Sicília. Quando seu irmão, o verdadeiro herdeiro, desaparece misteriosamente, Amara se vê obrigada a voltar para a Itália, após anos exilada em Londres. Mas há um problema: O Conselho da Máfia não aceita mulheres no poder. E para se manter viva e proteger o império da sua família, Amara precisa fazer o impensável: forjar um juramento de casamento com o homem mais temido da máfia… o executor do Conselho, o próprio Lobo de Palermo. Dante Moretti é frio, calculista e mortal. Foi enviado para vigiá-la… e eliminá-la, se ela fraquejar. Ele odeia fraqueza. Odeia traições. Odeia os Bellucci. Mas o juramento é lei. E o que começa como uma aliança forçada, logo se transforma em algo mais perigoso do que qualquer pacto de sangue: desejo, obsessão… e o caos de duas almas marcadas por segredos. No submundo da máfia, onde alianças são costuradas com mentiras e traições se pagam com sangue, Amara e Dante vão descobrir que existem promessas que nem a morte consegue quebrar.

Helena nunca acreditou que um sobrenome pudesse pesar tanto. Mas Ferrentini pesava, pesava em cada olhar atravessado na balada onde trabalhava à noite. Pesava na forma como os homens ricos achavam que dinheiro comprava tudo. Naquela madrugada, quando saiu do trabalho caminhando sozinha pelas ruas quase vazias, Helena ainda sentia o olhar de Matteo Ferrentini queimando sobre ela. Ele sempre a observava. Sempre. Mesmo quando estava cercado por mulheres. Matteo era fogo, impulsivo, perigoso. E naquela noite, quando a viu sendo assediada por um estranho na rua, o fogo virou violência. Ele não hesitou. Helena soube, naquele instante, que estava entrando em território proibido, mas ela ainda não conhecia o verdadeiro perigo. O verdadeiro perigo não tinha olhos cor de mel, tinha olhos verdes escuros. E não beijava por impulso, oferecia contratos. Na manhã seguinte, Lorenzo Ferrentini entrou na cafeteria onde Helena trabalhava como se o mundo fosse propriedade sua. E talvez fosse. Ele não a olhou como mulher, a olhou como solução. Dias depois, faria uma proposta que mudaria o rumo da vida dela: Um casamento temporário. Dinheiro suficiente para salvar a mãe, e nenhum espaço para sentimentos. Helena acreditou que conseguiria separar coração de necessidade. Não conseguiu. Porque amar o homem errado era fácil, difícil era dividir o sobrenome com ele. E mais difícil ainda… Era começar a sentir algo pelo irmão que nunca prometeu amor.

She wanted revenge, while he wanted power. Betrayed by her own sister and rejected by her husband, Isabelle watched her life collapse in the cruelest and most humiliating way. She saw her sister marry her husband, give him the child he had always wanted, and eventually take over her home. That was when August appeared. He was the playboy constantly featured in society columns—famous for scandals and short-lived romances. He came with an unexpected proposal: a contract. A marriage of convenience. For Isabelle, it was the chance to reclaim everything she had lost: money, status, and power, and perhaps destroy the people who had made her suffer. For August, it was the perfect opportunity to redeem himself in society’s eyes and present himself as a committed and respectable man worthy of earning his father’s trust. But once their lives became intertwined, they discovered that passion could be just as overwhelming as it was dangerous. Living under the same roof as August was dangerous. Seductive, provocative, and irresistible, he turned every moment into a risky game where lies and truths slowly began to blur together. Amid mysteries, family intrigues, and forbidden desires, Isabelle and August had to confront feelings they had never imagined: love, loyalty, jealousy, and the difficult art of trusting again. In the end, what began as an agreement became a flame impossible to control.
