Raelynn Baker A woman who escaped the viciously blinding nights of forced prostitution. Snatched from the embrace of a comfortable life, she had to hold onto herself for survival. A true warrior who persistently fights against the dark memories of her past. Vincent Marino A man who runs the entire underground syndicate. Born and brought up in the treacherous darkness of power struggle, he rose to the top by challenging years of humiliation and brutally vanquishing every opponent in blood. Respect. He values it the most. Freedom. She longs for it from her own demons. Mirroring each other's gaze, forcing the other to back down, they lock horns when a chance encounter collides them. One is authoritative. One is headstrong. Each holding a story of their own and both trying to read each other. She has secrets that when break out would tarnish his respect and question his authority while he has rivals who when succeed would shove her back into her terrifying past. When love becomes a double edged sword, with danger lurking right around the corner, can the ignited flames of curiosity break the shackles of their past and melt the ice walls surrounding their heart? Ride along the melancholically beautiful journey of two souls in their pursuit of a home! Reading 'What is family?' will give you a better insight into the family dynamics of the Marinos, but it is optional. Disclaimer : This book contains violence and triggering content. I advise you to read it at your own discretion. Also, note that the female lead in this book is not weak or timid. If you're looking for a submissive female lead, this book is not for you.

Five years later: the remaining eight are all grown up and trying to move on with their lives when, suddenly, it is announced that the family will be reuniting. No one will be welcoming the brothers home with open arms, that's for sure, but when threats become reality and lives are at stake, they will be forced to put aside their differences once and for all.

Disclaimer : This is not a typical story where the real sister is a goody two shoes and the adopted sister is a negative character. No character in my book is completely white or completely black but are shades of grey. So if you are looking for a typical goody two shoes sister with an evil foster sister then this book is not for you!

Reese Price moves to a different continent, not by choice, of course. An orphan and the youngest of five brothers, moving was the last thing she wanted to do and going to a new school was even higher on her not-wanting to-do list. She wanted to be invisible for the last two years of high school. She wanted to keep her head low and let her twin brother steal the new kid spotlight. Keyword: wanted. I mean, who wouldn't notice the British girl that comes from one of the richest families in the world. With a laugh that echoes wherever she goes like a blazing wildfire, it's hard not to just get lost in her. And just like when a wildfire hits, no one is safe. In her laugh, there is everything he needs. But, what is everything? Laughter usually hides more than it reveals. As certain secrets find their way out and circumstances arise, will Reese's laughter remain intact or will life finally take the best of her? "A laugh a day keeps the fat away." -Reese Price ----- Excerpt: "'You want me to meet your friends, right?" I walk up to him and his friend. "I'm Reese and that is my twin brother Roman. He's older than me by ten minutes and loves to make my life miserable. I love long walks on the beach, oh and falling for my brother's best friends is kind of my thing." Then I add, "I'm usually on the fuck and chuck basis with them, so you won't have to worry about me being some sort of psycho-stalker chick.' Roman's face pales. And that ladies and gentlemen, is how you get payback."' © 2019 AmoraNext All Rights Reserved

{FIRST BOOK IN 'THE GIRL IN THE HOODIE' SERIES} {2014-2018} A girl moved to California two years ago. No one knows what she looks like. All they know is that she wears a hoodie. *~*~*~* "HOLY SHIT, NOAH! WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU LET THE TROLLEY GO?! COME BACK! OH MY FUCKING LIFE, FIZZY DRINKS UP AHEAD--" BANG FIZZ POP "...am I dead?" I'm suddenly grabbed by the back of my hoodie and pulled up from the ground and out of the mess of the opened bottles of fizzy which had exploded when the trolley and I crashed into them. My hands instantly go to my hood and I sigh in relief to find that it hadn't fallen off through all of that. I turn my head and look the the employee who's holding me, his face completely red and the vein in his neck throbbing. "Wassup, dude?" I smile sheepishly. *~* {HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 in Funny #1 in Sad And #1 in Cancer apparently }

It's kinda like a reverse fairy tale because at the beginning it's all happy and rainbow and unicorns for the most part and at the end it's really dark and sad. That's just what I think @bananagirl5264: literally could not put my phone down from your work. you have a real talent and im so excited to see how much more you can affect me with your beautiful writing. @LisaSimonPatrik: This book so far brought tears, joy and sooo much love. You follow each brother and can easy relate to how easy it is to missunderstand and for a child like miray to try and voice her thoughts and feelings. I can only say one thing this book is a gem ❤️ Thank you for putting time writing this book one i will keep rereading ❤️
