'Blood doesn't always mean loyalty. Sometimes, it just means war.' At sixteen, Kimberly Fallon Alliter has learned that pain is predictable. Assaulted by her stepfather. Abused by her mother. Tormented by her twin, and forgotten by the world, she's spent her life as the family scapegoat-until one night at age eight, when a stranger offered her food, warmth, and something far more dangerous: power. That man was Maxim Volkov, the Pakhan of the Bratva (Don of the Russian mafia). And when he was assassinated seven years later, Kimberly inherited everything. Now, Pakhan/Tsarina/Donna of a ruthless empire, Kimberly hides behind the guise of a bored high schooler. But when she and her twin, Karoline, are called to the principal's office, everything changes: their mother and stepfather are dead, and their long-lost brothers-heirs to the Italian mafia-have come to claim them. Karoline is heartbroken and seeks comfort from her new family. Kimberly is unreadable and distances herself from these men who claim to care. Because while Karoline sees family, Kimberly sees enemies. The Russians and Italians have never been allies... and her brothers don't know the mafia princess standing before them is the enemy they've been trained to eliminate. Blood has been spilled. Lies are unraveling. And Kimberly Volkova is no one's pawn. Started: 25/12/2025 (for the American's: 12/25/2025)

Book One of the Love You Series - Standalone. Sometimes the heart wants what logic swears is off-limits. Kyle Carter. By definition? My brother's best friend. To everyone else? Confident. Charismatic. The human version of sunshine. He walks into a room and people gravitate toward him-like he knows exactly who he is and where he's going. But behind the easy smiles and effortless charm is someone quieter, softer... someone who wants to be seen. Really seen. By one person alone. When you're part of the same friend group, running into each other is inevitable. Daily, even. Bickering became our version of talking, teasing became our shared language. But it's dangerous-the kind of dangerous where you start noticing just how beautiful someone is, and wondering how it's even fair to exist next to them. And feelings? They show up like a tidal wave I can't stop, no matter how many times I tell myself not to fall. Because Kyle Carter is off-limits. And I should know better. Ivy Kingston. Definition? My best friend's sister. The one girl who knows exactly how to push my buttons-and enjoys doing it. She's bold, reckless, and says things that get under my skin and stay there. She's trouble in the form of witty comebacks and the most intoxicating smile I've ever seen. She's not the little girl I used to tease anymore. She's... something else entirely. And it scares the hell out of me how much I want her. Feelings weren't supposed to be part of the equation-but here they are, crashing through every line I've drawn. And no matter how much I try to stay away, she pulls me in like gravity. They say if it's meant to be, it'll find a way. But there's always a but, isn't there? The truth is, I don't know if I'll ever get my happy ending. Hell, she is my happy ending. And I need her. More than anything.
