I didn't exactly choose to be stolen at four years old. But the French underworld isn't big on consent. One minute I was Donatella Acardi, Mafia royalty. The next? Just another stolen kid bleeding in someone else's basement. That's where I met Amir. We bonded over near-death experiences and shared trauma. Real cute stuff. Then Demetri found us-trained us, broke us, built us back. We became something the underworld whispered about when they thought no one was listening. Angela Della Morte. Morte Nera. The Angel of Death and the Black Death. It has a ring to it, doesn't it? We're not kids anymore. We're not victims either. And we have one job: burn the French Mafia to the ground. Starting with the Don who ruined everything. But revenge doesn't follow a clean checklist. Especially not when I'm suddenly face-to-face with the family I swore I'd never see again... Yay. Now I'm stuck balancing the ghost of who I was with the assassin I've become... while navigating a castle full of lies, power plays, surveillance systems, olive oil, and one very inconvenient slow-burn romance. The mission? Still on. But if I'm not careful, I might survive the job and still lose what's left of me. And let's be honest-I worked way too hard to become this unkillable. ⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆⋆˚𝜗𝜚˚⋆ ~Thank you so much for even taking a glance at this book.

"We're no longer just looking for a conspiracy, Ariana. We're looking for a body." Welcome to Demsdaleville University, a gilded cage for the children of the global elite-a place where royalty, mafia heirs, and corporate titans learn the art of power. Here, the most expensive commodity isn't money. It's security. To this world, she is Ariana Basile, the "unicorn," the school's first-ever scholarship student. A brilliant, quiet girl with no past. But her real name is Alessandra de Luca, and she is a lie walking. Haunted by the violent "accident" that left her twin sister in a coma and shattered her family, she has one singular, all-consuming goal: revenge. Her targets are the powerful Moretti family, and her way in is through their sons-the charming basketball star Antonio and the famous actor Adrien. Her plan is to infiltrate their circle, earn their trust, and dismantle their empire from the inside. But as she's pulled deeper into their world of fractured friendships and dangerous secrets, she finds herself in a fragile, untrusting alliance with Alexander Sterling, the one boy whose brilliant, analytical mind sees through her perfect facade. The closer she gets to her target, the more she discovers that the truth is a monstrous, tangled web of lies, and the people she thought were her enemies might just be pawns in a much deadlier game. In a school where everyone wears a mask, can she find the truth before her own is ripped away?

Avery's senior year is turned upside down when a kiss with her older brothers' best friend ignites a forbidden relationship tangled in danger, heartbreak, and family secrets that could destroy everything. *** "Aiden..." I shake my head, eyes fixed anywhere but the gorgeous man next to me. His hand grips my chin tightly, just enough to make me avert my eyes to his. "You know you want this as much as I fucking do. I want you to be mine. I want to be the one to hold you and kiss you the one you go to whenever you're happy or fucking sad. But let it be me, let me fucking show you that it should be me." He glares, jaw tensing. ...... ©hessaherophinelove

The underworld knows her as Bellona, name taken after the Roman goddess of war. And the goddess of war she is. An assassin. A ruthless, cold hearted one actually. But throw in a family she did not know even know existed, a new found crush on her best friend, a new city, five dorky, overprotective brothers trying to break her walls, a childish, protective father, feelings she doesn't seem to understand, and what do you get? Proper chaos. And gazillions of fight. But heaps of fun as well. Join her roller coaster journey of pain, love, hope, perhaps a little happiness too. And hunger, loads of it in fact. After all, a girl needs her food.

Love. A word that never made sense to Ivy Blanchard. Yes, she helps all of her friends with every relationship because she wants to see them happy, but she never really believed in the exaggerated picture of what "love" is. Trusting someone completely by opening up to them has never really amused her, and maybe that's because of what she went through as a little girl. When one day, she gets drunk and calls Kai Hale; one of her cousin's friends, to come and get her, it escalates into a fake relationship that neither of them expected. To convince her friend that she doesn't need help finding love, she decides to create a fake relationship with Kai. Although, the lie only begins to lead into other things that neither one of them realized or were prepared for. Kai is the exact opposite of Ivy. Smiling is second nature to him, and love is definitely something he's always believed in, he just doesn't have enough time for it with his complicated schedule. When Ivy and him begin getting close though, he realizes there definitely is something happening, but convincing Ivy that it's okay to let someone in is harder than he thought it would be. Will he actually get over the wall she's built since she could remember?

What happens when you're in the wrong place at the wrong time? She is just at the beginning of her year-long world travels when she falls into the hands of him - an Italian mafia Don driven by the thirst for answers and revenge. When there is something else thrown into the mix - obsession. But is it the healthy kind? -- "I can see it, you know," he continues, his voice as smooth and dangerous as the edge of a blade. "The fear you're trying so hard to hide. The way your hands tremble ever so slightly, the way your breath catches in your throat when I'm close like this." My hands instinctively curl into fists at my sides, nails digging into my palms as I struggle to maintain control. He tilts his head, studying me like a predator sizing up its prey, his proximity suffocating. "You should be scared," he says, the words laced with an unsettling certainty. "Because when I'm done with you, there won't be anything left of that defiance you're so proud of." A shiver runs down my spine. "I've faced worse than you," I manage to grit out, though my voice is barely above a whisper. "And I'm still standing." His lips curve into a sinister smile, a glint of something dark and twisted flashing in his eyes. "We'll see how long that lasts." "Let's go." "No." --
