Kidnapped as children from one of Italy's most powerful mafia families, the triplets were erased and sold into a life of cruelty. Abused, broken, and trained to kill, they were turned into the most feared assassin group in the underworld: The Deadly Three. When their foster parents die, the triplets are forced back into the family they were stolen from-back to blood, power, and a past they barely remember. But secrets don't stay buried, and enemies don't forget. As the shadows close in, the Deadly Three must face the truth: escaping their past was never an option-it was only waiting for them to come home. (This is my first book.)

When Lucia and Lorenza are only three years old, the Russian mafia tears them from their home, erasing their past and thrusting them into a world ruled by fear and blood. Clinging to each other, the twins survive as best they can-until, at seven, Lucia orchestrates a daring plan to have them adopted by the French mafia, hoping to give Lorenza a life of protection and freedom. But safety eludes Lucia. Before Gabriel Gaspard can adopt her and offer her a life of warmth and security, she is taken elsewhere-remade into something unrecognizable. Trained as a killer, forged through pain, and stripped of her childhood, Lucia learns obedience only through suffering, her innocence buried beneath skill, strategy, and lethal precision. At twelve, she accomplishes the impossible: she escapes. Broken yet unbowed, she finds her way back to Lorenza, now thriving under the protection of five formidable French mafia brothers. Alongside them are four loyal friends from the orphanage, children who, like Lucia, survived without family-but now have one they can call their own. By seventeen, the twins are drawn back into the orbit of their seven biological brothers, heirs to an empire grown darker, deadlier, and more cunning with every passing year. Tensions flare when the family discovers Lorenza's love-a man whose very presence threatens to unravel everything they have built. Arguments erupt, alliances fracture, and fear coils tight around every heart in the room. But while they argue over the danger standing beside Lorenza, the man by Lucia's side is a force all others fear: a legend in the shadows of the underworld, whispered about even among kings of crime. And as the layers of her secrets are peeled back, the family will finally see the truth-the deadliest threat has never been outside the family. It has been hiding in plain sight all along.

. On the day her twin sister "died," or that what she thought everything she knew shattered. She remembered the scream, the fall, the blood-and then the world changed. In the chaos, no one asked her what really happened. They didn't care to hear her version. Her parents, once the warmth in her world, turned cold overnight. The brothers who loved her most began to look at her like a monster. Whispers filled the house. Accusations behind closed doors. She was blamed, judged, and punished-not by strangers, but by her own blood. And then, without warning, they sent her away. A boarding school in another country, they said, as if it were for her own good. But it wasn't a school-it was a cage dressed in discipline. Far from home, far from love, she entered a place no child should ever be. Hidden behind iron gates and smiling lies, that school was a breeding ground for cruelty. Every corner held secrets. Every night was a nightmare. And no one ever came looking for her. Not a single letter. Not a single call. They forgot her- Years passed. . And then came the call. Her family wanted her to return. As if they still had the right to call her back. But the girl who left never came back-not really. What returns now is someone colder, quieter, sharper. She tells herself she feels nothing for them. That she's learned to live without love. That hatred is easier than hope. But buried beneath the years and pain, there is still a small voice inside her-a child's voice-aching to be believed, to be seen, to be forgiven for a crime she never committed. Will her family finally face what they've done? And when the truth comes out-will it set her free, or break her all over again?
