Carina was six when she first stood outside the gates of the Zavattini estate. Only seven when she was sent to a suburbia five hours away. Being an affair child and a daughter, she grew up knowing exactly where she stood; at the lowest in the family hierarchy. She knew no one actually cared about her. But that was fine because there was nothing to envy about the women who were cared for in that family. At suburbia, she could sneak out to parties, read books, join the debate club, write essays on seagulls, dream about marine biology and California. She only had to return home few times a year during holidays; play quiet ,obedient girl with no opinions and leave again. Life was normal, mostly. Until the day her brother arrived at the school to take her home. And suddenly, Carina was pulled back into the world of rules, power and danger. For how long could she pretend to not feel, to not have opinions! Carina is 16 as she is standing in front of the same gates again. ( a non cliche mostly)

Daniella Florakis lived with her family. Well, not her blood family. Her mother died when she was barely ten, and she never knew who her father was. Not like that mattered. Her stepfather had been the best parental figure, and later on, her stepsister, Iris. She was content with her life. That is, until Iris suddenly runs off-no explanation, no reason known, no heads up, nothing. Feeling heartbroken and betrayed, Daniella struggles to figure out what to do next. Everything seems to be spiraling out of control until the police called, claiming to have found her family. All of a sudden, she's whisked away to California and put in a house nearly 2,000 miles away from her original home, with six older brothers she didn't even know existed suddenly appearing in her life. Daniella is thrust into a life that appears to be perfect. What complaints should she have as a long-lost heiress? However, she can't help but think something is wrong. Secrets seem to be keeping the family together barely, secrets she isn't privy to, as her brothers clearly showed. But she won't stop. She can't stop. Because these secrets not only involve her, but the truth that she thought she had been living this entire time.

For every girl, sixteen is about parties and driver's licenses. For Vera Moretti, it's joining her family's crime empire. The Morettis are not only powerful-they own the city in the shadows, their name uttered in back alleys and police stations. Seven brothers preceded her, and now Vera's the one who has to prove that she's more than the straight-A student everyone fawns over. Her trial? Steal Callahan Mustang. Get away from the police. Be home by midnight. But a speed crash with Bug Reynolds-the school's physics genius and unwitting rule-breaker-destroys it all. Now she's got a wrecked car, a loose-lipped witness, and a family that doesn't forget. Bug's just a glitch, an unwanted complication in her perfect heist. In a world where loyalty is blood-bonded and loose ends are entombed, Vera has to decide if believing in Bug will be worth the gamble-or keeping him alive will be the biggest mistake she'll ever commit.

Book 3 of Royal series. "Not all victories are won in war; some are won in the heart." Shattered. Broken. Alone. That was the truth Aksh chose to live with after burning every bridge that had once led him home. Betrayal had not spared him either; its flames had licked his skin, leaving marks deeper than scars. For the first time in his life, the boy who fought every battle head-on found himself with nothing left to fight for. But fate is rarely so easily dismissed. Just when Aksh begins to sink into the ashes of his own making, the one he least expects refuses to let him disappear. The eldest returns with a quiet, unyielding promise: no matter how far you chose to twist the knife, I still won't let you run. And the youngest? She simply refuses to loosen her grip, holding on with the kind of love that does not ask permission. What follows is not a war of swords, but of truths long buried and wounds long ignored. As secrets surface and silence breaks, the brothers must confront the fragile space between pride and forgiveness. Because coming home is not about crossing a threshold - it is about daring to believe you still belong there. The Forgiven Royal is a story of redemption and reckoning, of fractured bonds learning to mend, of love that survives even the fiercest infernos. Above all, it is Aksh's journey toward the hardest victory of all... forgiving himself... and allowing himself to be forgiven.

Sent away to a secluded boarding school in the Swiss Alps by distant, unfeeling adoptive parents, she was raised by nuns and priests to be obedient, submissive and small. Behind stone chapels and cold classrooms, Evienne learned early that love was conditional, punishment was holy, and suffering was something to be endured quietly Her future was simple: be good, be faithful, and one day do her duty-marry a man who would secure her family's interests. Her life was planned. Controlled. Perfect. Until it wasn't. When everything she knows collapses, Evienne is torn from the only world she has ever known and sent to live with her biological family-six brothers who are loud, vulgar, violent, and unapologetically criminal.

With them, she learns the truth of who she really is: The lost princess of one of the most powerful mafia families in the world. Her brothers have been searching for her for years, and now that they've found her, they refuse to lose her again.

While Aksh walks the razor's edge between revenge and redemption, Bhavya is caught in the crossfire- no longer a child on the sidelines, forced to confront the truths, and maybe break her promise.

In a world where every move is a game piece, Only one question remains- Who will be left standing when the masks fall? He doesn't want their crown. He wants them to suffer under the weight of it. Because this time, the forgotten son isn't just back. He's here to bring it all down. Or is he?
