The Heirs: Fated Heirs

Introduction

Hi friends, thanks for being here!!!

I'm so excited to share the next story in my second-gen series, The Heirs. This is the third book in The Heirs - Legacy U series. This series follows four best friends/cousins who you may or may not know yet: Tate Yenin, Sophie Donnelly, Ariana Donnelly, and Imogen Donnelly. (If you've read the other series, I promise, you'll see the Murphys and Carmichaels more in the next series)

You DO NOT have to read any previous books to enjoy this one! Although, if you have, you'll see LOTS of familiar faces :)

This is Ariana Donnelly and Josh Callahan's story. Ariana is the daughter of Ronan and Mira Donnelly - the king and queen of the Chicago mafia. Josh Callahan is the son of Alistair and Vivian Callahan - the king and queen of the Dublin mafia. 

If you're interested in reading their parents' stories, you can check out:

The King's Arrangement - Ronan and Mira

The Shield's Fate - Alistair (aka Cal) and Vivian

I'd also recommend reading Cold-Hearted and A New Gamble (the first two books in this series), but you don't have to to enjoy this story.

I am warning you, this story is very angsty and pretty emotional! I was all up in my feels writing Ariana and Josh and their lovers-to-enemies plotline. As I said before, I was listening to A LOT of The Tortured Poet's Department while writing...so...you can only imagine. 

Also, a LOT happens in this story. The timeline starts when they're young and then we jump ahead. You'll see the first few months of their time at Legacy University from their perspective. If you read the first two stories, you'll see some familiar scenes through Josh and Ari's eyes. I had to cover quite a bit of plot-ground with these two, so hopefully it's not too too much. I just wanted to make sure I did their beautiful story justice. I love Ari, my sweet, smart, incredible girl! And Josh -- honestly.....all I wanted to do was write a cocky golden boy, but I feel like I got so much deeper with him than even I was planning. 

Please note, this story is a DARK-ROMANCE. There are lots of heavy elements including violence, crime, mystery, and sexual content.

Content/Trigger Warning: This story contains heavy violence, explicit language, explicit sex scenes (including bondage/knife play), and death/murder. These are heavy topics that are intended for mature audiences. Please, please, please take care of yourselves first and foremost.

We're in a dark world with this series, and the content reflects that so just be aware before diving in!

I'll only be releasing a few chapters at a time vs. all at once again with this one. This will allow me time to edit, get some feedback (which I'm ALWAYS open to!) and continue writing the other characters' stories as I go. I am planning on posting weekly.

As always, if you are confused or have questions, drop me a comment for sure.

Anyway. I've talked enough. I just want to thank you again for being here and I really hope you enjoy this story!

I'll include the AI images and mood board for Ariana and Josh below (I do NOT own any of these images - shoutout Pinterest content creators).  Enjoy!!!! And thank you, thank you :)
