Four years ago, Natalia Moretti disappeared. No goodbye. No explanation. Just silence. Once the youngest princess of the Italian mafia, Natalia was raised to obey-to smile, to submit, to accept a future chosen for her. Instead, she chose herself. Now she's back in New York. Her parents are gone. Her brothers rule the Moretti empire. And the boy she once loved-the one who thought she betrayed him-has become a man shaped by power, pride, and unfinished heartbreak. Natalia returns different. Stronger. Untouchable in ways no one expects. She's built a life of her own, far from the shadows she was born into-and she carries a secret that could change everything. As old feelings resurface and fate pulls her back into the orbit of the man she never forgot, Natalia must decide how much of her heart she's willing to risk again. Because love in their world is never simple. And some secrets aren't just dangerous- They're legacy-changing. Heir of Silence is a slow-burn mafia romance about first love, second chances, and the quiet strength it takes to protect what matters most-when the whole world is watching.

(BOOK 1 Of the QUEENS OF CHAOS SERIES) Isa Valen doesn't believe in restraint. Two weeks ago, she did champagne, a sinfully accented stranger, and a night so consuming she ran before sunrise. She doesn't remember his face. She doesn't remember his name. But her body remembers the way he made it burn. When her sister runs to New York, Isa follows without hesitation. New city. New job. New distractions. Then she meets her boss. Erik Orlov. Billionaire. Bratva Don. A devastatingly gorgeous tattooed man built from control and violence wrapped in tailored suits. The first time he looks at her, something tightens in her chest. The first time he steps close, her pulse betrays her. She doesn't recognize him. He recognizes the curve of her mouth. The sound she made when he touched her. The way she ran. The night she can't remember is the one he hasn't stopped replaying. Now she works beneath him - in his office, in his space, in his world. Every glance lasts too long. Every accidental touch feels deliberate. Every breath between them feels charged. And Erik Orlov does not chase. He claims. Enemies circle his empire. Loyalty fractures. Power shifts. But none of it unsettles him like the woman sitting across his desk, pretending she doesn't feel it too. Until two pink lines appear. Because the only thing more dangerous than their chemistry... Is the secret growing between them. And this time, he won't let her run.

Strangers murmur cautions about what he might do, forgetting I sleep inches from him nightly. If only they could witness what I have. There's a terrifying authenticity to our marriage. With me, he's attentive to the point of reverence. I wear his fingerprints like brands. His vigilance wraps around me, reflexive as breathing. I trusted him completely because betrayal seemed impossible. That was my undoing The merger of our families cost me things I didn't know I was losing. I salvaged only the skating rink-solitary hours on pristine ice before dawn or after midnight. The architecture of my future was more elaborate than I comprehended. The truth doesn't announce itself with confession. It arrives without remorse, manifesting as inevitability, as though questioning his constructed reality was never an option. I don't doubt that my husband loves me. For the true terror of Demetri Ferraro isn't found in shadows or violence. It's in how he determined I belonged to him, by systematically eliminating any alternative path.

Once upon a time, a girl was sent away. No trial. No second chance. Just a story everyone believed because it was easier that way. Five years later, she comes back. This is the part where, in a Disney movie, she'd forgive everyone, hug her family, and learn the power of love. Instead, Gianna De Santis learns how to break bones, keep secrets, and survive rooms that were never meant to be safe. The family expects a villain. The kingdom expects obedience. And some Princes are not always charming . There are no fairy godmothers here. Only men with power, women with knives, and lies that refuse to stay buried. And while everyone's busy wondering if Gianna is still dangerous- They forget to ask the real question: What happens when the girl they tried to erase comes back sharper... and finally decides to stop being nice? Because this isn't a Disney movie. And the girl who survived the tower doesn't believe in happily ever after- She believes in consequences.

Born of fae and shifter blood, Princess Nimara was cursed and cast away as a child by her father, the ruthless Fae King Calder Thorncrest, punished for powers she never asked for and a beast he feared he could not control. Exiled to a forgotten ruin deep within the Dark Woods, Nimara builds a hidden sanctuary for the outcasts and forsaken. To the world beyond the trees, she is a monster. To those she protects, she is their last hope. But fate has not finished with her. When Prince Tormund Harrowfell, a calculating ruler from the Frosted Expanse, arrives in Aetheris seeking an alliance, a prophecy surfaces-one that speaks of a princess powerful enough to save his dying kingdom. There is only one cost. Her power must be broken. Her beast must be severed. And her life must be sacrificed for his people. Nimara makes the fatal mistake of saving Tormund's life-unaware that mercy is the chain he will use to bind her. Lured by whispered promises of love and belonging, she is betrayed and bound in cold iron, reduced to a pawn in a game far greater than she ever imagined. But Tormund is not the only one watching. Milo Nightbriar, the exiled heir of a lost shifter kingdom, has waited for generations for the return of their true queen. He sees Nimara not as a curse, but as a crown stolen from its rightful bearer. He would burn kingdoms to awaken her power-and kneel if it means helping her claim it. Caught between a prince who seeks to control her and a rebel who would set the world ablaze for her rise, Nimara must choose: Submit and be sacrificed. Or become the queen the world fears. One will betray her. One will break for her. And one will kneel before her. This is a concept share and dormant project; updates are not currently scheduled.

Ellie spent years rebuilding her life after public humiliation, loss, and betrayal at the hands of Renzo Bellavere - the golden boy who destroyed her family and never looked back. Now fate has bound them together. In a world where mates are sacred and refusal is taboo, Ellie must navigate a bond she never consented to, a society that demands compliance, and a man who believes destiny absolves everything he's done. This is not a story about instant forgiveness. It's about autonomy. About survival. And about what it takes to reclaim yourself when even fate is against you. FYI: this story explores mating bonds in an everyday world very similar to ours. They are not werewolves or vampires. Just humans with mating bonds!

To most people, my husband is Viper. VP of the Devil's Rejects MC, hard, uncompromising, and completely committed to the club and his brothers. But the man I fell in love with was simply Roman, a man who called me Sunshine, and treated me like I was his treasure. By the time I realized the club would always come first, I was in too deep. And when his enemies came for me? He wasn't there to protect me because he was busy protecting her. And that I don't know how to forgive. Now I'm building a new life for myself without Roman. He promises he will give up everything to win me back, but promises are cheap and his aren't worth much. When we discover our enemies are still alive and planning to strike out again, however, I might not have any choice but to put my life in the hands of the man who's already let me down once.

This contains only the first four chapters. The book will be published in January on Amazon after edits. A dark, haunting romance of control, obsession, and the woman who dared to walk away. Rune knew exactly what she was doing when she entered Dorian Black's world. He was cold, brilliant, and untouchable-a man who didn't believe in love, only contracts. She accepted the role he offered: loyal secretary, occasional lover, silent shadow. Bound by rules. Defined by limits. But when her usefulness runs out, Dorian discards her like all the others. Only this time, Rune walks away carrying something he never planned for .And a truth she's kept hidden for years. Now, as she prepares to rebuild the life she left behind, Dorian is forced to confront what he thought he controlled. Because Rune was never meant to matter. She was supposed to leave his life untouched. But some bonds go deeper than desire. And some memories don't stay down. A slow-burn tale of longing, betrayal, and the quiet strength it takes to choose yourself.
