Coeurs Entrelaces ✨

They buried her father with a legacy soaked in blood. Now, they expect her to crumble. Lila Rousseau has never been just a daughter. Raised in the shadow of France's most feared mafia kingpin, she was trained not to flinch, not to fail, and never-ever-to fall in love. To her, love wasn't an emotion. It was weakness and weaknesses are never allowed. Now, with her father's ashes scattered over Étretat's cliffs and the crown of the Rousseau Syndicate resting on her shoulders, Lila steps into a world where men rule by fear and women vanish in silence. But Lila is no silent girl. She's fire. She's strategy. She's vengeance in silk. Enter Jace Durant. Spy. Liar. A man sent by Les Ombres, the rival syndicate, to infiltrate her world and tear it apart from the inside. He's meant to be her undoing. But when secrets ignite and enemies draw blood, he finds himself drawn to the one woman he was never meant to touch. In a world of smoke and daggers, power and deception, hearts aren't just tangled- they're weaponized. He was sent to watch her burn. She was born to burn it all down. Matthieu Laurent They buried his king beneath a storm of bullets and betrayal. Now, he stands beside the daughter who inherited the throne-and the chaos that follows her. Matthieu Laurent has killed for the Rousseaus. Bled for them. Lied for them. But protecting Lila was never supposed to feel like this. She's danger wrapped in perfume and defiance, and every time she looks at him, the man inside the soldier starts to burn. To love her would be treason. To leave her would be death. Now, with enemies closing in and lines blurring between loyalty and desire, Matthieu must decide- will he be her shield... or her sin? She was born to light the world on fire. He was made to burn beside her. ____

Chosen by the devil

Elena Rossi grew up believing her father died a failed businessman, a man who lost everything before she was old enough to understand why. The Moretti name, on the other hand, became synonymous with power, influence, and quiet control over the city. Their empire stands untouchable. Years later, Elena’s path collides with Enzo Moretti, the heir suffocating beneath that legacy. Their first encounter is strained and imbalanced, shaped by pride, resentment, and circumstances neither of them can undo. Enzo lives in a world built on obedience and appearances. Elena has spent her life surviving without protection. Neither trusts the other, yet neither walks away unchanged. When Elena is pulled deeper into the Moretti orbit, she realizes their cruelty is never random. She is observed, tested, and subtly pressured, as if her presence serves a purpose she cannot yet see. Enzo’s loyalty to his family clashes with his growing awareness that something about Elena unsettles his father in ways he doesn’t understand. As fragments of the past surface, Elena begins to question everything she was told about her father’s death. Inconsistencies in records and guarded reactions hint at a truth buried beneath decades of power. Instead of running, Elena adapts. And when the balance of control within the Moretti empire begins to shift, no one sees her coming. In a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal built an empire, Elena must decide whether she will be crushed by legacy or rewrite it.

Return of Black Lotus system:Taming Cheating Male Leads

WARNING: ITS A 18+ BOOK Heena stretched on the warm sand, sipping coconut water. Finally, peace. No scheming heroines, no brooding male leads—just her and the ocean. “HEENA! MOTHER! I FOUND YOU!” Her eye twitched. Not now. Floating above the beach was a golden lion with sparkling wings. “System 547,” she said, gritting her teeth. “I’m on vacation.” “But the worlds are collapsing! Male leads are going crazy! Villainesses are dying! White lotus heroines are ruining everything!” “Not my problem.” “You’re the Black Lotus! Only you can fix this!” “Exactly why I deserve a vacation.” “No rules! Slap them, seduce them, team up with the villainess—anything!” Heena sipped her coconut. “If I say yes, triple points, rare items from every world, and six months vacation after.” “Done! Anything!” the lion shouted, tail wagging. Heena stood, brushing sand off. “Fine. Show me these broken male leads.” Her smirk was dangerous. . . . The portal threw Heena onto cold marble floors. Her head spun as чуж memories flooded in. Empress Celeste Ravencourt. Five husbands. A dying empire. “Great,” Heena muttered. “I’m the villain.” A tiny golden lion appeared beside her. “Welcome to World 12! You’re married to five powerful men who all hate you. They’re meeting tonight to poison you and crown the heroine instead.” “Let me guess,” Heena sighed. “White lotus?” “Lady Seraphina. Sweet, kind, system-backed. They’re all in love with her.” Heena rubbed her temples. The body was weak, starved, exhausted. No wonder Celeste died so easily. “Fine,” she said, pulling off the heavy jewelry. “That empress is dead. I’m not.” She chose a simple dark dress, tied her hair up, and met her reflection. The sadness vanished. Confidence took its place. At dinner, five men waited—cold, powerful, deadly handsome. Warriors, priests, generals, spies. Every one of them wanted her gone. Wine was poured into her glass. Poisoned. Obvious. They watched her closely. Heena lifted the glass, smiling lightly. “To new beginnings.” She drank it all. The silence cracked. Nothing happened. Their faces changed—shock, fear, disbelief. Heena leaned back, calm and smiling. “Now,” she said softly, “which one of you thought killing me would be that easy?”
