he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape. *** He's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other. She's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing. The glare never seems to leave his face. Considering it all, she can't help but feel the attraction toward him. Dangerous attraction toward a seemingly dangerous man. Maybe it's the tattoos on his arm that gets her attention. Or maybe it's because she can tell there's hope for good under his rough exterior. And she's about to find it, whether he likes it or not. It's no secret that the two of them are complete and total opposites. *** "You like being called Sugar, don't you?" I tease, placing my toothbrush back after finishing. He does the same and gives me a side-eyed scowl. He grips my chin harshly and kisses me. My body temperature raises a good ten degrees and my right leg goes all wiggly. He pulls away. "You like it when I kiss you, don't you?" He teases the same way I did to him and I'm left blubbering. "I think both of our questions are rhetorical," I lower my voice up at him. His lip curls up into a smirk. *** #1 in Young Adult #9 in Badboy #1 in Cold #3 in Goodgirl #1 in Sweetheart #14 in Love *** *Warning* This story contains mature themes (language, scenes,

mafia princess and a ruthless Sicilian underboss must navigate a storm of power, passion, and betrayal-only to discover that their greatest battle might be against their own hearts. *** They hated each other from the moment they met, but little did they know, they were destined to be together. Millicent Rhea Darmos: Princess of the Greek Mafia. At 25 years old, she's established herself as a self proclaimed boss bitch, running her own publishing company. But now it's time she fulfils her duty to her family's organisation. It's time she gets married. Costantino Salvatore Accardi: Underboss and Heir to the Sicilian Mafia. At 28 years old, he has no interest in settling down-he already has it all. He believes in family above all, so why bring in an outsider? Yet, after a strange string of events, the two of them find themselves thrust into married life. It's full of chaos, drama and all kinds of tension. The question is, how do they survive their marriage and the storm that follows? *** "I've never kissed anyone." My voice trembled with a tinge of vulnerability - something I hated. But Costa didn't seem to mind that I was nervous or anxious. "Good. You're mine." He spoke so seriously, without a flicker of doubt as he took my hand in his. "So you want it be special, principessa?" "Every girl's first kiss is special." I whispered, watching as he brought my hand up to his lips.

Gianna Phoenix is a fiery and independent woman who will stop at nothing to destroy him for the murder of her brother. When they are forced into an arranged marriage for the good of their notoriously criminal families, their mutual animosity will spark into a fire that ignites their passion-or destroy them both. Gianna has one goal: get Ace to fall in love with her, and then kill him. Ace has another: get Gianna to fall in love with him, so she can't. And as they fall headfirst into a world of dark personal vendettas and murderous motives, the line between love and loathing begins to blur, until it becomes clear that saying "Till death do us part" wasn't just a promise-it was a threat. They say the course of true love never did run smooth; but in their case, it might just turn deadly.</div><div><div class="Qob6i" data-testid="tag-meta"><ul class="vcOri"><li><a

heartbreak, and family secrets that could destroy everything. *** Avery considers her life normal-or as normal as it can get with six overprotective brothers and a father out of the picture. When she starts her senior year in high school she expects nothing but that. A normal year, with her long term boyfriend and best friend. But when the unexpected happens and a kiss with her older brothers' best friend, Aiden, turns her life upside down, Avery is thrown into a life she never saw herself live, with a forbidden relationship, illegal businesses, dangers, secrets and heartbreaks. *** "Aiden..." I shake my head, eyes fixed anywhere but the gorgeous man next to me. His hand grips my chin tightly, just enough to make me avert my eyes to his. "You know you want this as much as I fucking do. I want you to be mine. I want to be the one to hold you and kiss you the one you go to whenever you're happy or fucking sad. But let it be me, let me fucking show you that it should be me." He glares, jaw tensing. ...... ©hessaherophinelove</div><div><div class="Qob6i" data-testid="tag-meta"><ul class="vcOri"><li><a class="no-text-decoration-on-focus no-text-decoration-on-hover

team as a roommate, and she certainly didn't expect the initial sexual tension between them to blossom into love. ***** In desperate need of a place to stay, Ryan Winters doesn't see an issue with rooming with the captain of the hockey team, Ethan Russell. After all, she's focused on her studies, getting over an ex, and honestly, not that into athletes. Though the more time she spends getting to know her new roommate, the more it becomes apparent that Ethan is the exact type of guy she could fall for. When lines begin to blur and drama from the past threatens to tear them apart, can the two of them find a way to keep both their friendship-and their relationship-from crumbling to pieces?

With a mutual enemy threatening their mafias, they find themselves in an unexpected alliance, and soon discover killing each other isn't the only temptation they need to resist... ****** Allegra Grey is poised to be the next great American mafia leader, and she's more than living up to the name. A skilled assassin, there's only one target who's ever gotten away from her-suave, sinfully handsome Ace De Luca, heir to the Italian mafia and the Greys' biggest rival. When both mafias are faced with a dangerous threat, they're forced to work together to protect their families, and unexpected sparks fly. Allegra definitely isn't one to sleep with the enemy, especially an arrogant womanizer like Ace. But there's an undeniable electricity between them and Allegra's not sure it's all hatred. Ace may be bad news, but Allegra's never been afraid of a little danger. As the fire they're playing with grows to a scorching blaze, one thing is clear: trying to kill each other may have been difficult, but resisting this intense chemistry will be impossible.

say you meet the same people on the way up and on the way down. In her wildest dreams and story plots, novelist Delaney Sharpe never fathomed this could apply to her, or that it would involve Phoenix Alden, the ex-boyfriend who ghosted her while his acting career was on the rise to Hollywood A-list status. When Phoenix struts back in to Delaney's life after a career nosedive and time away from the spotlight, he claims he's no longer the walking red flag he was when they dated. And when he asks her for a second chance--one weekend together to explain himself and prove he isn't who he used to be--she isn't sure what to do. Reuniting with Phoenix was a daydream Delaney had after he walked out, and before she healed, moved on, and found her own success. Still, it's only one weekend, and there's a spark between them Delaney can't ignore. She can finally get answers about what happened in their relationship and where Phoenix disappeared to. But when the weekend leaves her with deeper feelings than she expected, more questions, and a mystery to solve, Delaney knows she must uncover the truth about the last few years of Phoenix's life to decide if he really has changed, or if he's a danger to more than just her heart. ♥ TROPES IN THIS STORY ♥ Second chance Redemption One bed Emotional scars Is it all as it seems?

COMPLETED Jan 5, 2022 Nolani Michaels finds herself in a very rocky predicament as she's thrusted into the arms of an extremely dangerous family after a wild night of sex with a stranger. She quickly finds out she's stuck with no easy way out. The family is full of secrets but they discover Nolani is as well. She doesn't know who she can and can't trust and when secrets are slowly unraveled it makes everything that much more complicated. Things come crashing down and Nolani loses herself in a revenge fueled rage. Maybe she has more in common with the DeLuca's than they realized. Content and/or trigger warning: This story contains scenes of stalking, rape, abortion, miscarriage, stillbirth, drugs, mental and physical abuse, murder. If any of those are triggers to read proceed with caution. (I'm not good with these descriptions, I promise the book is way better than how I've written this lmao)</div><div><div class="Qob6i" data-testid="tag-meta"><ul class="vcOri"><li><a

highly sought after executive, the passion between them could lead her into a whole new world of sexual expression. Standalone in the Professional Restraint series *** After a string of one-sided relationships left her feeling unfulfilled and unsatisfied, Ella put her love life on the back burner to focus on her career. But when she is called in last minute to give a huge presentation for her business partner, she not only lands the sought after account, but catches the eye of the handsome COO, Liam. Most attention from men just sets the shy Ella on edge, but somehow Liam is the exception-the magnetic pull between them not only enlivens Ella, but he makes her feel safe. Liam is focused, driven, and extremely controlled in his professional and personal lives. Both his perfectionism and his particular tastes demand it. An experienced Dominant, Liam has rarely considered or found fulfillment in relationships with women outside of the lifestyle, but innocent, guileless Ella sets a passionate fire like nothing else raging within him. Not only is she brilliant and gorgeous, but, in her, he can sense a natural submissive despite her lack of experience. As Ella struggles with having been burned so many times before, Liam wonders if he'd ever be able to reveal the truth and be accepted. Will she be able to trust him, and even if she does, will all of him be too much to handle? *** Weekly updates on Tuesdays.

with the enemy, Lex Valentino, she makes a dangerous plan to take his family down from the inside...But her new fiancé has a revenge plan of his own. Season 1 of The Valentino Brothers *** Mafia princess Caterina Marchetti has worked tirelessly as her father's right hand to become the successor of the family. So when her father gives the title to her useless older brother and plans to marry Caterina off to the enemy, Lex Valentino, she is beyond furious. Caterina knows that the Valentino family was behind her mother's murder, and is convinced her father wants to take down the Valentinos from the inside. She poses as the perfect fiancée and moves to Italy, but secretly makes it her mission to avenge her mother's death. But little does she know, Lex has a revenge plan of his own. Lex has been keeping an eye on the Marchetti family for years and jumps at the chance to get closer to Caterina to avenge his own sister's murder, starting with making Caterina fall head over heels in love with him. As Caterina tries to ignore Lex's advances, and Lex attempts to bury his growing feelings for her, the pair's undeniable chemistry soon lands them in a dangerous cat-and-mouse game caught between lust, love and revenge.

a wild, free spirit who sees the good in everyone, and he's the hardened, bad-tempered loner who wants nothing to do with her-yet no matter how hard he tries to push her away, she's the one temptation he can't escape.\n\n***\n\nHe's never met someone with such a bubbly personality. Not to mention the wildness and odd phrases she says every five minutes. He hates it. He hates how he can't stay away from it. He hates what she does to him; it's not like him to chase after some girl. She gets under his skin like no other.\n\nShe's never met someone with such a bad attitude. He's ill-mannered and menacing.

Reuniting with Phoenix was a daydream Delaney had after he walked out, and before she healed, moved on, and found her own success.\n\nStill, it's only one weekend, and there's a spark between them Delaney can't ignore. She can finally get answers about what happened in their relationship and where Phoenix disappeared to. But when the weekend leaves her with deeper feelings than she expected, more questions, and a mystery to solve, Delaney knows she must uncover the truth about the last few years of Phoenix's life to decide if he really has changed, or if he's a danger to more than just her heart.\n\n♥ TROPES IN THIS STORY ♥\nSecond chance\nRedemption\nOne bed\nEmotional scars\nIs it all as it seems?\nThe one that got away","cover":"https://img.wattpad.com/cover/333478167-256-k405143.jpg","completed":true,"tags":["actor","adultfiction","badboy","california","celebrity","celebrityromance","contemporary","dangerouslove","drama","dreamlandbooks","famous","hollywood","lovestory","moviestar","onebed","redemption","romance","romanticsuspense","secondchance","secrets","secretsrevealed","slowburn","wattys2024","weekend","writer"],"mature":false,"url":"https://www.wattpad.com/story/333478167-on-the-way-down","firstPartId":1311677646,"numParts":36,"draft":false,"randomTags":{"tags":[{"id":"contemporary","name":"contemporary","link":"https://www.wattpad.com/stories/contemporary"},{"id":"california","name":"california","link":"https://www.wattpad.com/stories/california"},{"id":"secretsrevealed","name":"secretsrevealed","link":"https://www.wattpad.com/stories/secretsrevealed"}],"numNotShown":22}},{"id":"170337412","title":"Dive In","length":864817,"voteCount":50136,"readCount":964556,"language":{"id":1,"name":"English"},"user":{"name":"KatGee","avatar":"https://img.wattpad.com/useravatar/KatGee.128.151777.jpg"},"description":"Dive In is the 1st book in the DeLuca Mafia Series. \n\nCOMPLETED Jan 5, 2022\n\nNolani Michaels finds herself in a very rocky predicament as she's thrusted into the arms of an extremely dangerous family after a wild night of sex with a stranger.
