| "𝐖𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞" | Book 2 of the Bernardi Series "wreckage" florence gray bernardi. daughter of the italian mafia, ex-assassin, and walking caution sign. after losing nearly everyone and everything, i ran. to the west coast, to a safe house, to nowhere. i wasn't looking for people. i wasn't looking for anything. but the universe shoved me straight into three strangers - all of them dangerous, all of them wrecked in their own ways. and maybe that's what we all are now: wreckage. those in our world used to say that the only way to survive this world is to burn it from the inside. i guess we listened. we don't work for any mafia. we don't answer to families. we take the jobs no one else will, and we do it our way. i didn't plan to come back. but the underworld has its grip on me. and this time, i'm not coming back quiet.

"We had to have hope for Florence." | ❝𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧❞ | Book 1 of the Bernardi Series Collision, the first book in the Bernardi series, follows Florence Gray - Bernardi as she navigates a new school, painful rumors, and the unexpected discovery of biological brothers she never knew she had. It's a story about broken families, fractured loyalty, and finding the strength to rebuild from the wreckage. Until the unexpected happens, that's where we delve into a world deeper than the Mafia, a world beyond what Florence knows. How will she deal with her past and future colliding all into one? "I NEVER ASKED FOR YOU ALL TO CARE FOR ME, ALL I EVER WANT IS MY OLD FAMILY BACK!" I said seething at their insults. "What old family, that constantly drunk one, or the one who is constantly high or the one that's dead?" I had no ounce of anger in me after he had said that, only hurt. I had to get away. Lucky for her, she does get away, perhaps not in the way she wanted.

"We fought an uphill battle. One we had no hope of winning." ~~~ Felicity-Flick as most call her-Carter, has learned a thing or two in her 12 years of life. How to deal with drunk parents without waking the neighbors, how to smoke a cigarette without burning your fingers, and how to be abandoned by your siblings without losing your mind. All skills acquired through heartbreak and survival. Cigarette smoke filled lungs, late night talks on rooftops, make up most of who Flick is. But when her fractured family begins to mend itself, Flick is faced with a new chapter in her life that involves the very people she never wanted to see again.
