She was born to wear the crown-until it was ripped from her hands. Born into power, stolen into silence-Viviana Alessandro Romano was the crown jewel of Italy's most feared mafia dynasty. Seventeen years later, the lost princess returns-haunted, scarred, and carrying secrets no one is ready to face. And when bloodlines clash, loyalties shatter, and forbidden love ignites... Even a girl made of fire can burn.

Normani Williams gave her heart to the wrong man-her son's best friend-and paid the ultimate price. Now a single mother raising her daughter alone, she's picking up the broken pieces of her life, one day at a time. She promised herself never again. No more secrets. No more shame. No more letting a man destroy her. Zane Carter has everything-NFL fame, money, women on demand-but none of it fills the void left by the woman he walked away from. Haunted by regret, he tries to forget her the only way he knows how: recklessly. But fate has other plans. When their worlds collide again in California, old wounds reopen, unfinished feelings rise to the surface, and nothing is as simple as it once was. With new opportunities, unexpected friendships, and a slow, burning connection with someone she didn't see coming-Normani must decide if she's ready to love again... or if the past is all that's left of them. 🖤~"She promised herself it would never happen again. But what do you do when the man who destroyed you is also the father of your child?"~🖤

Her love is a weapon. It's killed before. And this time, she's sworn it won't happen again. Everyone at Blackthorn University thinks Kara is just another human girl juggling midterms, frat parties, and overpriced lattes. No one suspects the truth: that she's a Phoenix shifter, hiding in plain sight in a world ruled by werewolves and lycans. Even her closest friends don't know the fire simmering beneath her skin. But Kara isn't just hiding from them, she's hiding from fate. From the one thing she dreads more than anything else: her mate. She's done letting her love be a death sentence. She won't survive another loss. The scars she bears run deeper than flesh. So when Ryker, the dangerously magnetic lycan General, realizes Kara is his fated mate, she does exactly what she swore she would. She pushes him away. Again. And again. And again. But lycans don't walk away from their mates. And Ryker? He's dominant, possessive, and utterly relentless. He's a storm she can't outrun, a flame that won't go out. And every heated glance, every stolen moment, threatens to shatter the walls she's spent years building. As secrets ignite and her past begins to unravel, Kara must face the truth: Can she let herself love again, knowing it could destroy them both? Or will her lies-and the deadly curse entwined with her love-be the very thing that dooms them forever?

Blood on the floor. Laughter in the hallways. Secrets behind every smile. St. Argus Academy was no ordinary school-it was a breeding ground for the next generation of the underworld. Sons and daughters of mafia bosses, assassins, warlords, and crime lords walked these halls with loaded guns and sharpened knives. There were no guidance counselors here, only death threats. Killing wasn't a crime in St. Argus-it was a right of passage. But amidst the leather jackets, combat boots, and blood-stained locker doors, a curious figure stood out. Clumsy. Quiet. Wearing thick-rimmed glasses, shapeless clothes, and her hair in an unflattering bun. Her name? Malaya "Aira" Vendetta Castiglione-the beautiful daughter of the Castiglione mafia empire, known for her breathtaking looks and merciless combat skills. Except, no one knew that. Because in St. Argus, Aira was just a nerd. And she wanted it that way. Until she caught the eyes of the school's five most dangerous mafia kings. And hiding... became impossible.

Hello cuties welcome to my story✨ 📖 Description.. She was the girl who vanished in an accident the world thought had claimed her life. She grew up in silence, building an empire out of shadows, hiding behind a smile no one could read. She was the heir they erased. The girl everyone thought was gone. But forgotten heirs don't stay buried forever. When Nyra steps back into the world she was stolen from, she brings secrets, power-and vengeance. And she's not afraid to burn everything in her way. Because the forgotten girl has returned- not to beg for love, but to reclaim what was always hers.

Born in a palace. Raised by a Queen. Driven by fire. When a young woman is born under extraordinary circumstances inside Buckingham Palace, her life becomes anything but ordinary. Adopted by Queen Elizabeth II after a tragedy no one could have predicted, she grows up between royal halls and red carpets-yet never quite belongs. But while the world watches her grace royal balconies and banquets, she dreams of something else entirely: speed, engines, racing lines-and a name on the podium. From secret karting lessons with Prince Philip to rising through the fiercely competitive world of motorsport, she defies tradition and expectation at every turn. And when she finally breaks into Formula 1, she carries not just the weight of a helmet-but of a crown she was never meant to wear. Will the world accept a Windsor on the track? Will she prove that being born outside the bloodline doesn't mean she was born to be less? 👑 A story of legacy, ambition, loss, love-and a girl who dares to rewrite what it means to be royal. ⸻ Charles Leclerc Ff _____ ⚠️ Fiction Disclaimer This is a work of pure fiction.
