Man, I feel you—hunting for free reads is a struggle! For 'Torquemada,' try the Internet Archive. They’ve got a ton of scanned books, and their collection is legit. Type the title into their search, filter by 'texts,' and cross your fingers. If it’s public domain, you might strike gold. Just steer clear of shady PDF sites; half the time, they’re dead links or spammy. Better to read safely than risk your device crashing mid-chapter!
Torquemada: A Novel' by Benito Pérez Galdós is a classic, but tracking down free legal copies can be tricky. Since it's older (published in the late 1800s), it might be in the public domain depending on regional copyright laws. I'd start by checking Project Gutenberg—they specialize in digitized public domain works, and their library is massive. If it's there, you can download EPUB or Kindle versions hassle-free. Another great spot is Open Library; they sometimes have borrowable digital copies. Just type the title into their search bar and see if it pops up.
If those don’t pan out, Google Books might have a preview or full version if the copyright has lapsed. Avoid sketchy sites offering 'free downloads'—they’re often pirated or malware traps. I once got burned clicking a dodgy link that promised 'full access' to another Galdós novel, only to end up with a virus and zero book. Stick to reputable archives like HathiTrust or even your local library’s digital lending service. Some libraries partner with apps like Libby or Hoopla, where you can borrow ebooks legally. It’s worth signing up for a library card just for that!

That was until fate brought her ALEXI, head of the family CARRERO - The unexpected hero who saved her ass and changed her life in one easy manouvre.

This is book 7 in The Carrero Series, although you can read this without prior books. There are back story hints from previous books worked in, so this new trio can be read alone.
For a fuller understanding then start with The Carrero Effect .
Isabella’s Herrera’s world unravels when her father’s reckless dealings with the notorious mafia boss Lorenzo Castillo leave her family drowning in debt. With her younger brother’s life hanging by a thread, Bella is forced into a dangerous bargain: herself as payment for her father’s sins.
Lorenzo Castillo is a ruthless and calculating man, hardened by the violent underworld he controls. Bound by a code of power and loyalty, he has no room for emotions—until Bella’s fiery spirit and unwavering determination begin to chip away at his cold exterior. As the contract between them deepens, so does the dangerous attraction that neither can ignore.
But Bella’s past is riddled with secrets, and as she navigates the shadows of Lorenzo’s empire, she discovers that not everything is what it seems. A rival mafia leader, Gabriel Moretti, is hell-bent on taking over Lorenzo’s empire, and Bella becomes the key to his plot. With her life now at the mercy of two powerful men, Bella is caught between love, loyalty, and survival.
In the world of betrayal and bloodshed, can a debt born from desperation ignite a passion that could either save or destroy them both?
A Debt of Passion is a gripping tale of forbidden love, power, and redemption, where every choice comes with a deadly cost, and every heart is a battlefield.
***WARNING THIS BOOK CONTAINS LOTS OF EXPLICIT SCENES, VIOLENCE, AND VULGAR LANGUAGE***
To the world, I am Alberto Morello. A ruthless asshole, merciless, dangerous, the definition of death. But to Francisco Blanco, I am his brother, his best friend, the man that swore to rule the world we live in alongside him. That’s why when he asked me to be the godfather of his only daughter, Isadora, I didn’t hesitate to accept.
I may be a coldhearted bastard to just about everyone in this bloody world, but I swore to care for that little girl as my own. What I never expected was for that little girl to grow into the most beautiful woman I had ever laid eyes on.
I tried to fight the attraction, knowing that it was the one line I couldn’t cross. I couldn’t do that to my best friend, to his sweet girl. I am sick in all ways imaginable, and I couldn’t do that to them, to her…
But when they both team up against me to get me to come back home after years staying away, will I be able to stop myself from falling into temptation? And if I do have a taste of the forbidden, will I be able to stop?
Ayla Monroe’s life shatters the night she returns home to find her apartment ransacked — and herself abducted by strangers in black suits. The reason? Her reckless brother Mason has vanished after stealing two million dollars from the D'Argento Syndicate — the most feared criminal empire in New York. And now, Lucian D’Argento wants payment.
But money isn’t what he’s after.
Lucian, the cold and calculating mafia enforcer known only in whispers as the “ghost advisor,” gives Ayla an ultimatum: work for him for six months to repay the debt — or disappear like her brother. He wants her mind. Her gift. Her ability to break ciphers, read patterns, and strategize like a war general.
What begins as forced servitude soon evolves into a twisted game of power, secrets, and slow-burning obsession. Ayla is determined to find her brother and destroy Lucian’s empire from the inside. But every move she makes pulls her deeper into a world of blood, betrayal, and temptation.
As walls close in and loyalties shift, Ayla faces an impossible truth:
Sometimes the devil doesn’t take your soul.
He teaches you how to burn with it.
When Caterina Mari Santelli--daughter of a Capo--was born, she became a living curse. It was against the Italian mob to fraternize with the Russian enemy. And when her father decided to marry her late Russian mother, their family was walking on a thread in the Mafia industry.
So, here comes Lucas De Marchi--a Boss--pure Italian from the greatest and legendary bloodline. His goal is to marry Caterina for her to be stripped off from being a curse, for him to be, someday, head of both clans and another dark mission he has to fulfill.
But Caterina isn't a damsel in distress. When she met Lucas and discovered the truth, she knew there was blood to be shed. Only she didn't know whose.
SYNOPSIS
He saved her life. Now she’s trapped in his world.
When Juliana Casco is attacked outside a nightclub, salvation comes in the form of a man she never expected: Alexander Valente, cold, commanding, and terrifyingly powerful. But what seems like a random rescue quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. The attempted abduction was a message… and Juliana was the bait.
Alexander is no stranger to bloodshed. Forced into the mafia life as a teenager, he rose through the ranks by killing the monster who raised him, his own father. Now the youngest and most feared Don in the Familia, Alexander is ruthless in protecting what’s his.
And after that night, Juliana is his.
Kept under tight guard in Alexander’s mansion, Juliana is torn between fear and fiery attraction. The man who holds her captive is the same one who makes her pulse race. But as she digs into the secrets surrounding her stepfather, one of Alexander’s men, Juliana discovers a tangled web of betrayal, power, and a past she was never meant to escape.
As secrets surface and desire ignites, she’s caught between a man she should fear and a passion she can’t ignore.
The deeper she falls into Alexander’s world, the harder it becomes to tell whether he’s her captor… or her only chance at survival.
Dark. Addictive. Explosive.
Blood & Oath is a gripping mafia romance about loyalty, revenge, and a love so fierce it might just destroy them both.
I understand the desire to find free resources for timeless works like 'Fortunato'. While I always encourage supporting authors and publishers, there are legitimate ways to access such novels online. Websites like Project Gutenberg and Internet Archive are treasure troves for public domain works. They offer free, legal downloads of classic texts, including many by Edgar Allan Poe, though 'Fortunato' isn’t a standalone novel but rather a character from his famous short story 'The Cask of Amontillado'. For those unfamiliar, Poe’s works are often available in their entirety on these platforms. Additionally, libraries sometimes provide free access to digital copies through apps like Libby or OverDrive. It’s worth checking these out if you’re looking to explore Poe’s haunting tales without spending a dime.
If you’re specifically searching for 'Fortunato', remember it’s part of 'The Cask of Amontillado', which is widely available online. Many educational websites and literary databases host the story for free, making it accessible to readers worldwide. Just be cautious of unofficial sites that might not respect copyright laws. Reading classics should be a joy, and finding them legally and ethically ensures that the literary world continues to thrive.
I totally get the urge to find free reads. Unfortunately, Tomás' works aren’t legally available for free online at the moment. Publishers and authors rely on sales to keep creating, so supporting them by purchasing books or borrowing from libraries is ideal.
If you’re on a tight budget, platforms like Project Gutenberg or Open Library offer tons of free classics. For contemporary works, checking if your local library partners with apps like Libby or Hoopla could give you access to Tomás’ novels without cost. Piracy sites might pop up in searches, but they hurt creators and often deliver poor-quality scans. Waiting for a sale or ebook promotion is a more ethical way to enjoy his work affordably.
