🔥 Ignited Secrets by Ajme Williams
Dark Mafia Romance
If you love secrets, danger, and that slow-burn what are you hiding from me? tension, this one delivers. Mafia stakes, emotional pull, and a romance that simmers before it explodes.
Geissinger does emotionally dangerous like few others, and Blackthorn is no exception. This one leans into intensity, connection, and that unmistakable pull between two people who should probably stay far apart… but absolutely won’t.
Mafia and military? Yes please. This one brings alpha energy, power dynamics, and serious danger, wrapped in a romance that feels both brutal and protective. If you like dominant heroes with control issues and loyalty lines drawn in blood, this is for you.
This one leans darker; dangerous, relentless, and unapologetic. If you enjoy romances that walk the edge and don’t soften their claws, Dark Hunter absolutely earns its place here.
This one is chef’s kiss for mafia enemies-to-lovers fans. Brutal, tense, emotionally charged, and impossible to put down. Lilith Vincent never pulls her punches, and this book absolutely understood the assignment.

Follow the journeys of these powerful men as they navigate the turbulent waters of love, lust, and power while they explore their deepest desires.
My story, Fallen Prey is featured in it.
Here’s the description:
It’s not every day that a stranger knocks you to the floor at the airport. When that stranger turns out to be the most handsome man you’ve ever laid eyes on, you’d be stupid to turn down a date with him. He took my number and promised to ring me.
Plans changed when he walked through the doors of my new workplace the next morning.
Yeah, Mr Handsome Stranger is my billionaire boss. I couldn’t go there. No way. Except his gifts of persuasion made it impossible to say no.
It turns out that he’s upset a lot of people with his playboy lifestyle and ruthless business deals. Unfortunately, someone doesn’t want us to be happy together.
Luckily for me, this billionaire has teeth and he sure isn’t afraid to use them. Money can’t buy happiness, but it can sure help to keep the wolves away.
