I've mostly been here reccing other people's books, so I'll spend one of my two allowed self-promo posts.
Sometimes You Get What You Want is Book One of a finished trilogy of novellas. Olivia is married, closeted, and very good at not naming what she wants. What finds her is not a woman, is not safe, and has a habit of marking what it intends to keep.
Dark sapphic paranormal romance, 18+, open door, though I'll keep the specifics off this post per Rule 3. All three books are written, so nobody gets stranded.

Book Two, Things Change, lands on the 27th. Book One stays free either way.
Back to lurking and reccing.

They gave me to the wolf to pay my father's debt.
Catarina Esposito is traded to the Volkov bratva to mend a broken alliance and delivered to a Mill Basin estate — into the keeping of Yelena Volkov, the thirty-seven-year-old heir who never asked for a wife. What begins as ownership becomes something neither woman will say aloud, in Italian or in Russian. But Mikhail Volkov's murder is unsolved, a rival pakhan is testing the family, and there is a traitor at the Esposito table. In a marriage built to settle a debt, the most dangerous thing either of them can do is fall.
Dark sapphic (f/f) mafia romance, ~111k words, dual POV. Tropes: arranged marriage, age gap (23/37), forced proximity, slow burn, open door. 18+. Book Two, Vor (releasing ~2 weeks after Book One), is also available to ARC readers who want to read ahead.
Triggers: Explicit sexual content between adult women (18+); organized-crime violence and firearms; an on-page murder plot; a captivity / power-imbalance dynamic (heroine is given to settle a debt); grief and loss of a parent.
