Book Two of the Fire and Ice Series In the aftermath of betrayal, bloodshed, and the rise of a hidden enemy, Marina Salvatore has only one mission: Find the ones who call themselves the Order. And burn them to the ground. But vengeance comes with a price-and when a mission goes sideways, Marina ends up in enemy territory with a target on her back and no clear way out. Cornered and outnumbered, she must decide: make a deal with the devil to survive... or risk becoming his next casualty. As the lines between ally and enemy blur, Marina is forced to navigate a world where power is everything and trust is a luxury she can't afford. New alliances are forged, old bonds are shattered, and a spark she never expected threatens to ignite something more. Can Marina rise from the ashes of her past-or will love be the fire that finally consumes her?

Book One of the Fire and Ice Series Stolen as infants. Raised in two worlds. Reunited by blood and secrets. Twins Marina and Lukas were taken from their father and brothers, leaders of the Italian mafia, before they could even crawl. Raised by their mother in hiding, everything changes the day she dies... and the twins are sent back to the family they never knew. At first, it's almost perfect. A family reunited.

Banished and broken, the soft girl disappears. Eighteen months later, she returns hardened, unrecognizable, and hell-bent on never trusting anyone again. Now the past won't stay buried. Lies are cracking. And the truth? It might tear them all apart. Can a fractured family rebuild what was lost, or will blood loyalty be the thing that finally destroys them? Secrets will be exposed. Lines will be crossed. And Marina must decide. Does she want revenge... or a family worth fighting for?

A secret society. An ancient circle that has bound powerful families together for generations. Built on vengeance, money, power and... blood. Luigina has spent most of her life far from her roots-half Ghanaian, half American, and far away from the family she never wanted to return to. But when she is forced back to Ghana, her life collides with the one person she never wanted to face again;her cousin, Violet. Violet is admired, praised-everything Luigina believes her father ever wanted in a daughter. But behind Violet's perfect image stands her father, deeply rooted in the Dark Circle, a powerful and dangerous society that controls the fate of their families. Beneath the respect and wealth lie secrets that pull Luigina into a world where loyalty is deadly and trust is fragile. Then there's Dylan. Dylan becomes Luigina's refuge-her ally, her comfort-and the one person who makes Ghana feel like home. What begins as friendship slowly turns into something deeper, something dangerous. Stolen glances. Unspoken feelings. A love Luigina knows she shouldn't want-but can't escape. Alongside Violet, the three form a fragile friendship that feels impossible yet real. Until Luigina realizes the truth she's been trying to deny; Dylan seems to belong to Violet in ways Luigina never will. What Luigina doesn't know-what no one is meant to know-is that Dylan's grandfather is the leader of the Dark Circle. The man at the center of the blood, the power, and the secrets. And Dylan is far more connected to the Circle than he lets on. As Samson, Violet's twin, begins to move in the shadows, secret plans unfold, alliances shift, and buried truths surface. Luigina must confront not only her rivalry with Violet, but the terrifying truth about the boy in secrets and rivalries are written in blood, loving the wrong person could cost everything.
