Deceptive Desires

I try to make every day a great day, until suddenly, he’s the one making them great. My hero is everything I could ever want. But what do I do when I find out I’ve been falling in love with a lie?

Cecilia

My days pass in a blur.

Yoga, work, and friends occupy my time.

I don’t have any complaints though.

There isn’t anything I’d change.

Not until I literally fall into the arms of my hero,

And he shows me all that I’ve been missing.

Roman’s sweet, gentle, and kindhearted.

He cares for me and loves me in a fairytale way.

There’s a reason I call him ‘héroe.’

He’s saved me countless times,

And I’ve never been happier.

But I’m warned against him.

My best friend calls him a God of Darkness,

And passerbies shrink at the sight of him.

I just don’t see it.

I know I can be blinded by my optimism,

But how can someone who treats me so well be anything but sincere?

Roman

I love my life.

There’s nothing I want to change.

As the enforcer for the Syndicate, I spend my days inflicting pain.

My anger fuels me,

And I bask in the ruthless reputation I’ve earned.

I’m the monster the other monsters fear,

And I fucking love it.

Until an innocent goddess tumbles into my arms.

Suddenly, my life is turned upside down.

I’m having to hide who I am and what I do,

Because I won’t change me,

But I also can’t let her see beneath the mask.

My sweet sunshine is too pure for my life,

And despite it being in her best interest,

I can’t seem to stay away.

The more I’m around her, the more I learn about her…

The more I know she’s mine.

And I’ll do anything to keep her.

Even if that means deceiving her.

No one, not even she, can keep me away,

And if it comes to it, she won’t have a choice.

This is a dark, mafia romance built on love, deception, and betrayal. He didn’t plan on falling in love, but now nothing can take his sunshine away. Intended for readers 18+.
