Ruffians

By Lyela Pariu

In this dark and erotic 23,000 word shifter romance novella, Kalnix, an adorable femboy and desperate pickpocket, wanted to get himself and his twin brother out of the slums. He was willing to do anything to escape the extreme poverty and violence that surrounded him, but he never expected to fall in love with the Amato-Italian ruffian Nicola Valenti. Nicola wanted no other man. The love he felt for Kalnix was fierce and dangerous. Kalnix was the only ray of sunshine in his miserable life. Eventually, the lovesick criminals become some of the founding members of the Xionken Gang. The gang starts selling bootleg liquor during Arardosa Kingdom's prohibition period. And nothing goes as planned. Will Kalnix and his ruffian ever get their happily-ever-after? (This tale contains violence, explicit sexual content, and a fairy-tale retelling. Readers should be 18+)
