Four years ago, Natalia Moretti disappeared. No goodbye. No explanation. Just silence. Once the youngest princess of the Italian mafia, Natalia was raised to obey-to smile, to submit, to accept a future chosen for her. Instead, she chose herself. Now she's back in New York. Her parents are gone. Her brothers rule the Moretti empire. And the boy she once loved-the one who thought she betrayed him-has become a man shaped by power, pride, and unfinished heartbreak. Natalia returns different. Stronger. Untouchable in ways no one expects. She's built a life of her own, far from the shadows she was born into-and she carries a secret that could change everything. As old feelings resurface and fate pulls her back into the orbit of the man she never forgot, Natalia must decide how much of her heart she's willing to risk again. Because love in their world is never simple. And some secrets aren't just dangerous- They're legacy-changing. Heir of Silence is a slow-burn mafia romance about first love, second chances, and the quiet strength it takes to protect what matters most-when the whole world is watching.

She was never meant to burn. But when Carlisle Cullen made the impossible choice to turn a dying girl, he didn't realize he was igniting something the world had never seen. Vivienne St. Claire was meant to die in 1974 - fragile, fevered, too human for a world at war. Instead, she woke in flames. A vampire unlike any other. Eyes still blue. Blood still bound to the sun. And a heart that never forgave the man who gave her eternity. She vanished. Decades passed. She tried to forget the Cullens. But the Cullens never forgot her. Until a new war rises, this time not from bombs, but from the volturi. And the only weapon strong enough to stop them is the girl Carlisle once called his daughter. Now Vivienne is back. With fire in her hands. Light in her veins. And a family she never asked for waiting in the ashes. What burns brighter - vengeance or the blood you share?

(BOOK 1 Of the QUEENS OF CHAOS SERIES) Isa Valen doesn't believe in restraint. Two weeks ago, she did champagne, a sinfully accented stranger, and a night so consuming she ran before sunrise. She doesn't remember his face. She doesn't remember his name. But her body remembers the way he made it burn. When her sister runs to New York, Isa follows without hesitation. New city. New job. New distractions. Then she meets her boss. Erik Orlov. Billionaire. Bratva Don. A devastatingly gorgeous tattooed man built from control and violence wrapped in tailored suits. The first time he looks at her, something tightens in her chest. The first time he steps close, her pulse betrays her. She doesn't recognize him. He recognizes the curve of her mouth. The sound she made when he touched her. The way she ran. The night she can't remember is the one he hasn't stopped replaying. Now she works beneath him - in his office, in his space, in his world. Every glance lasts too long. Every accidental touch feels deliberate. Every breath between them feels charged. And Erik Orlov does not chase. He claims. Enemies circle his empire. Loyalty fractures. Power shifts. But none of it unsettles him like the woman sitting across his desk, pretending she doesn't feel it too. Until two pink lines appear. Because the only thing more dangerous than their chemistry... Is the secret growing between them. And this time, he won't let her run.

Some secrets are impossible to outrun.

"No-please-don't do this!" Seraphina sobbed, her voice cracking as she clung to her eldest brother's wrist. "I-I'll be good. I'll do whatever you say, just don't-" A sharp crack echoed through the room as his palm struck her cheek, sending her crashing to the marble floor. Pain exploded across her skin, but it was nothing compared to the terror clawing at her chest. From above, his voice was cold. Unmoved. "You will marry him." She shook her head wildly, crawling backward until her spine hit the wall. "He's a monster," she whispered, her breath shuddering. "He's not human. Please, don't make me do this. I'll die." Her second brother crouched in front of her, grabbing her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. His lips curled, eyes void of warmth. "Then die." Her breath hitched. "But you will die as his wife." The door behind them creaked open. Heavy footsteps. Her father stepped inside, his expression unreadable. "Lock her in this room," he ordered. "She will not step out until her wedding day." Sera thrashed as hands seized her, dragging her toward the massive iron doors. "No! Please-Father, please!" But he didn't even look at her. The last thing she saw before the door slammed shut was her brothers standing side by side, indifferent as she was thrown into a fate worse than death. Then darkness. And the only thing left was the suffocating truth. She was a sacrifice. A bride to the Sinister, a devil himself. #A STANDALONE BOOK

A swan is viewed as many things: beautiful, pure, graceful... But in Odette's eyes, a swan is something much different. A swan is a curse, one she herself must suffer through each day. And while the stories say every curse can be broken, Odette finds it hard to believe she has a chance to do so. And even as she tries to find one, to find a way to break the curse placed on her, there are many things standing in her way. A vast world of obstacles, but perhaps the most dangerous of all a Dark Curse. One intended to transport her and everyone else to a world without magic. However, perhaps the Dark Curse is exactly what Odette needs for all the things to fall into place, for her own curse to finally be lifted and her happily ever after to become more than just a dream. ---------- [Killian Jones / OC] [Once Upon a Time - Seasons 2 & 3] [First book in the Swan Lake Tales series] [Started: 11/09/21 - Finished: 04/09/23] ----- Spanish translation written by: @Elenazazueta18
