Reborn: The Billionaire Mafia Boss’s Second Life

Reborn: The Billionaire Mafia Boss’s Second Life In his first life, Luciano De Luca was a man feared by millions—a ruthless mafia boss and a cold-hearted billionaire CEO. He ruled the corporate world by day and the underworld by night. But with power came betrayal. Blinded by trust, he was deceived by those closest to him—his right-hand man, his blood relatives, and the woman he thought he loved. On the night he signed a billion-dollar deal that should have secured his empire, Luciano was assassinated... left to bleed out in the very office he built from nothing. But death was not the end. Luciano wakes up—ten years in the past. Armed with memories of betrayal, manipulation, and regret, the cold, calculating mafia king now has a second chance. A chance to rebuild his empire stronger, protect his true allies, and uncover hidden enemies before they strike. This time, he's not just fighting for power—he's fighting for something far more dangerous... love. The quiet, innocent woman he once ignored—Ariana Russo—holds secrets even deeper than he imagined. In his past life, she was nothing more than a background figure. In this life, she may be the key to everything: survival, redemption, and perhaps... happiness. But the past isn't so easily rewritten. Rival mafia clans, corrupt billionaires, and old foes begin to move as destiny shifts. His enemies are smarter. His allies are fewer. And love... love might be the most dangerous game of all. Can a ruthless mafia billionaire rewrite his fate? Or will love, family, and blood debts pull him back into the chaos he was destined for?

Bite Me, Professor

Warning: This book is dark, hot, and unapologetically kinky. It contains morally gray characters, fuzzy lines between pleasure and pain, enemies-to-lovers, forced proximity, psychological manipulation, and scenes that might disturb sensitive readers. Bite Me, Professor- At King's Zer University, Jax Wentz is a picture of perfection in a designer suit—valedictorian, son of a legal dynasty, the professor's favorite, and envied by the peer group. But beneath his cherubic smile lies a darkness sharpened by training, secrets, and lethal urges that he maintains behind the poster-perfect facade of The Ozen, the faceless elite of the underground syndicate known as the Williams. When Jax sets out to shame Sofia Lucas, merciless Tenz Jer'sey mafia princess and Hark leader, his plan is cold-blooded, cunning. and doomed. For another has other plans. Ethan Mikason—dead-eyed, cold-voiced, and appallingly lethal—turns Jax's world upside down in one nightmare, unforgettable night. He does not merely wreck Jax's mission—he desecrates him. Humiliates him. Disintegrates him. And then? He shows up at Jax's class the next day as his new professor of criminal law. The predator is now in charge. But Jax isn't done yet. What begins as a craving for vengeance becomes an unhealthy fixation. Ethan overwhelms his mind, his dreams, his body. The more Jax fights against it, the deeper he falls—into shame, rage, and an animalistic hunger that he can't even articulate. Ethan taunts him with every look, every command, every whisper spoken only to him. Two monsters. One campus. No rules. And initiation night? It's coming. Amid the world of masks where violence, seduction, and the underworld intermingle, Jax has it in mind to make Ethan bleed. But when agony is a pleasure and hate tastes like necessity. Who's playing the winning game?

I Became a Mosquito to Bite My Ex, Now I'm a CEO

Excuse me, what? I just activated a system! My goodness! Will I win against the system and uncover the final gift? Or will my fate be sealed and my existence erased forever from the multiverse? I, Lucien Chakma- Lu, do solemnly swear to make the most of this second life. I’ve got a billionaire’s body, a Mastermind in shadow, an assassin’s bullet to dodge, and a jawline so sharp it could probably cut glass. Rewind to the beginning: I was just Lucien Chakma, tragically single, unstable, handsome, and so broke even my wallet had abandonment issues. I was dating a girl named Toby...until she dumped me for another girl. I don't mind she is into girl but why did she choose me to explore her sexuality? I felt used. So, I wanted revenge. I wished I could become a mosquito just to bite her and give her the itchiest payback of her life. And guess what? The universe listened. Entered Pokolo, a glitter-explosion fairy with a chaotic energy who granted my wish with a smug little “You’ve got 24 hours.” Boom. I was an Aedes mosquito. A tiny, buzzing, emotionally damaged insect on a mission. It was going fine. Until I bit the wrong person. SLAP. Dead. No dramatic last words or death monologue- just splat. But the fairy, guilt-tripping, offered me one free transmigration into a random body in the multiverse. I took the deal. Because duh. Next thing I knew, I woke up in a hospital bed, surrounded by machines, medical charts, and air that smelled like generational wealth. Meet: Lucien Malric Moreaux. Age 29. Billionaire. Tech tycoon. Murdered by a sniper. Now inconveniently possessed by the soul of a mosquito-human hybrid with trust issues. Guess who’s him now? Me. From mosquito to mogul in under 24 hours. Universe speed-ran my glow-up. The catch? Everyone thinks I'm still the original Lucien. Including: The board of Moreaux Global, who expect me to run an empire I can’t even log into. My fiancée, the Ruxin heiress with a gaze that says “I own half the stock market and probably your soul.” Oh, and the guy who killed me still roaming in shadow! But plot twist: I never paid attention to that fiancée. Then came her. Dr. Arno Theryn Solace. Twenty-six. Neurosurgical genius. Hair like golden storms. Eyes like glacial oceans. The woman who saved this body and almost gave me a cardiac arrest by just... existing. She walked in, rattled off a diagnosis, and walked out like she owned time. And just when I thought that was a one-time medical miracle? We met again. Different room. Different reason. Same smolder. She tried to keep it cool. But I had to say it: “Ms. Solace, you want to run? Don’t dream about it.” This is my ultimate rom-com action- urban fantasy revenge-glow-up, system, redemption arc. Let’s go.

[BL] The Making of an Alpha Villain

[BL] [Alpha x Alpha] After the First Apocalyptic War finally ended, Mattias Kohler thought he could return to America and live out his days as an unmated alpha in peace. Being a child soldier left him with more scars and baggage than he cared to admit, but for a while, living in this superheroes’ version of a ‘new world’ wasn't so bad. He'd even managed to stave off the deadly consequences of the war for a solid twenty years. Despite everything, the shell shocked veteran made peace with the last of his ghosts. Or so he thought, were it not for one rude-ass awakening. When his biggest failure and the rightful king of his ghosts shows back up out of the blue—very much alive and kicking—Matt finds himself kidnapped and dragged back into a cold war against his will. What's worse, this particular ghost has deep ties to Mattias’ past, and the fact that he's still alive is an absolute stain on Matt's ledger. His initial goal is just to get the hell out of this mess and kill as many Russians as he can in the process, but as time goes by, he realizes something isn't right with the King of Ghosts. The other alpha’s past betrayal may not be everything it seems, and the more Matt learns about this dark world his old-friend-turned-traitor steeped himself in for all these years, the less he understands. Not to mention the fact that he'd been forced to get off his scent blockers and rut suppressants all at once; fuck if he knows why that filthy traitor smells so damn good, but he does. It's wrong. They're both alphas. Matt is also painfully aware that alpha on alpha relations are illegal in most countries. But he's hard, pissed off and has no idea whether he's in for a fight or a fuck. Either way, they dragged him back into this, and now he's going to finish it.
