Alina Baranovskaya. Born Adelina De Benedetti. Stolen from the Italian Mafia at eight years old. Raised by the Bratva. Sharpened by pain. Trained in silence. Alina stopped being a daughter the day the world forgot her-and became a weapon instead. With a hidden name, five ruthless brothers at her back, and blood on her hands, Alina built herself into a ghost-a myth in the underworld. A secret assassin feared by men twice her age. No one touches her. No one questions her. And no one dares to look past the icy mask-except one. But when a chance encounter reveals her face to the very family that lost her, the past she buried claws its way back. Now the De Benedettis want her home. The Bratva refuses to let her go. And the boy she was never supposed to love is willing to destroy the world for her. She thought surviving was the hardest part. But keeping her crown-with two empires at her throat-might just cost her everything.

Astrid Knight was the definition of cold. Preferring to stay in shadows, she had managed to successfully avoid any life-threatening incidents. Fending for herself was hard when she was a minor, forcing her to work on the other side of the law. After an Arson gone wrong, she ended up in the home of the Italian Mafia- her supposed family. Men wanting to build their stolen relationships, a boy getting under her skin and a ghost from the past wanting to team up with her, Astrid didn't have any other choice but to go with the flow. Watch Astrid navigate her way through a mission of taking down a ghost of her past as she juggles love, family and betrayal. Not an incest .

I was drowning in her kiss. The intensity of it filled me with sensations I'd never felt before. I taste her and I realize I've been starving. I have loved before, but never quite like this. I have kissed before, but never did it consume me like this. It lasts for a second, maybe a minute or maybe even an hour, I'm not sure. I'm drowning and drowning and sinking to the bottom of the ocean in her kiss, in her soft embrace. I never thought I could feel wanted like this before and it's intoxicating and it's swallowing me whole. It started off passionate, but we got desperate. The kiss got deeper as we got hungrier, it feels like even my hands can't bring her close enough to me. - LEIGHTON VALAK .. and in which, emotionally unavailable Alea John gets paired up with the rich golden boy on campus, Leighton Valak for a tutoring opportunity- what could go wrong?
