°•○Book 1 in The Forsaken Bloodline Series.○•° ☆Can be read as a standalone☆ In the Ricci Empire, daughters are meant to die before they become toddlers. Any girl born into the bloodline is considered a curse, a weakness that must be erased before she can even take her first steps. Seren Ricci should have been nothing more than a shadow, a secret buried and forgotten. Born from a forbidden night, she is a living sin her father, Alexandros Ricci, cannot forgive-and a secret that could destroy everything he has built. From the moment of her birth, Alexandros kept her at a distance, cold and unyielding, treating her as a mistake rather than a child. Outside the walls of their estate, the empire enforces its brutal law without mercy, and every heartbeat of Seren's life is a defiance of tradition. But when tragedy threatens to take her away, Alexandros is forced to confront a truth he has long denied: he cannot bear to lose her. Hatred fractures into something raw and dangerous, and the child he once despised becomes the center of his world. In a realm where daughters are meant to die, Alexandros must choose-between loyalty to the empire and the daughter who has become his everything. Seren is more than a secret. She is his rebellion, his redemption, and the spark of love that could either save them both-or destroy everything he has ever known. --- °•○All rights are reserved.

"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 grin tugs at his mouth, he takes a step closer. "You like me then." I feel my heart race, the same way it has always done for him. "No." "You love me?" Another question, another lie, another step closer. "Definitely not." "Liar." In a split second his hands are on my waist. My heart not getting a chance to recover because now his lips are on mine. 𓆩♡𓆪 𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐀 𝐋𝐔𝐃𝐎𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐎, the innocent angel. Or so they thought.

She was like a knife, and he was ready to bleed. They promised friendship, nothing more-but hearts are liars, and so were they. 𓆩♡𓆪 Started: August 2024 Finished: TBA

Adeline Jade had always been alone. She had no father to call her "princess," no mother to hold her, no grandparents to cherish her, and no siblings to play with. She wandered through a world determined to isolate her, wrapped in a loneliness that filled every empty room and silent night. Loneliness was all she had ever known, her only constant companion. But this was about to change, though she had no idea that her life was going to change. Soon, the universe would disrupt her quiet life. Shadows from a past she didn't know existed were closing in, bringing both new connections and painful truths. Adeline was about to discover a hidden world, one that could either fulfill her deepest desires or bring her great sorrow. I cannot express enough how tired I am of reading the same story about the missing daughter of mafia again and again. Its frustrating. I want something new to read, and if I can't find it, what's better than writing it yourself? I don't want anything that you see in every story ever.

Josephine Jennings was one of those heads screwed on tightly, smart, kind, beautiful, all encompassing types of people. The types of people who knew what they were after, and would stop at nothing to get there. The types of people who rarely, if ever, derailed their plans. But plans, like people, were fortuitous. And for her, it was one night, one storm, one decision, and suddenly she was completely, and utterly, off-kilter. Ϟ a cowboy, a doctor, and a short(ish) story about fear, love, making mistakes, and learning to heal
