He began walking over to me. This is it. I'm dead. I saw his shoes come into my view as I was looking down, hair covering my face. "Look at me." He growled out. I started to cry, too afraid to look. He grasped my chin and lifted my face to meet his. I mentally gasped. It's the guy from last night. His eyes held surprise too, before anger erupted in them. I cowered back in fear of what he might do. "Who did this to your face?" He growled. I started to cry again and shake. "Him." I whispered and gave a small nod toward the guy who hit me.

"Morning, Mr. Serious," I say now, setting his usual cup on the table. I add two sugar packets because I can't help myself. He never uses them. He never even looks at them. But I like the idea of them sitting there, taunting him with sweetness. His eyes flick up to mine - stormy gray, the kind that make you feel like you're under interrogation for a crime you don't remember committing. "You should stop doing that." His voice is low, accented, like gravel dragged across velvet. Russian maybe? Or Italian. Or both. Either way, it does unholy things to my stomach. "Doing what?" I ask innocently, sliding the sugar closer to his hand. "That." His gaze drops to the packets. "I don't take sugar." I grin, all sunshine and sass. "You don't know that. Maybe one day you'll wake up and realize life's better with a little sweetness." ●・○・●・○・● Rafael Volkov doesn't do small talk. Or smiles. Or sugar in his coffee. As the mafia's underboss, he's built a reputation on silence, sharp suits, and an expression that could curdle milk. So of course, Lila Parker makes it her mission to crack him. The sunny diner waitress insists on slipping him extra sugar packets, calling him "Mr. Serious" behind the counter, and treating him like a normal guy instead of a walking red flag. He tells her to stop. She doesn't. He growls. She grins. And suddenly, his late-night coffee runs feel less like routine and more like... something he shouldn't want. The problem? In his world, affection is dangerous. Smiles get noticed. Weaknesses get used. And if Lila isn't careful, her little act of kindness might just paint a target on her back. Rafael swore he didn't have a sweet tooth. Turns out he was wrong. ●・○・●・○・● Word Count: 37,478

Eighteen-year-old Lucy Green has never known safety. Her mother is dead, and her abusive stepfather, Wyatt, controls every part of her life-what she does, where she goes, and how much she's allowed to eat. She's more servant than daughter, surviving by staying quiet and invisible. The Moretti brothers have spent fifteen years tearing the world apart searching for the sister stolen from them. Lorenzo, Valentino, Roman, Leonardo, and Xavier have followed every lead, chased every whisper. Hope has nearly burned out-until Roman sees a girl with a crescent-shaped scar above her left eyebrow. A scar only Lucia Moretti could have. One glance, and Roman knows. Once DNA confirms the truth, Roman begins to follow her-mapping her routines, the worn-down places she moves through, the small life Wyatt allows her to have. And when Roman finally witnesses the abuse happening behind the closed door of her rundown home, he steps in. But his intervention goes terribly wrong-sparking a violent chain of events that will force Lucia's worlds to collide. Dragged into danger, truth, and a family she never knew she had, Lucia must face the past stolen from her and the brothers who never stopped looking. A dark mafia drama about a stolen girl, five brothers who refuse to give up on her, and the fight to reclaim a life she never got to live.

Fifteen-year-old Isabella Marino disappears on the walk home from school. It's the same route she's taken every day of her life. She even texts one of her brothers to say she's on her way. She never makes it home. Her father and brothers search relentlessly, tearing through enemies, allies, and shadows for answers-but years pass with no trace of Isabella. Then her father dies, taking what little hope they had left with him. Six years later, Isabella is found. Alive. Broken. And held just miles from the home she was stolen from. Now twenty-one, Isabella is returned to the brothers who never stopped looking for her-but coming home doesn't mean the darkness lets go. The girl they lost is not the woman who came back, and the past refuses to stay buried. As old enemies close in and secrets surface, the Marino brothers will do whatever it takes to protect what's theirs. Because Isabella was taken once. And this time, they won't lose her again.
