⸻ She was born a weapon. Alina Reyes is a mafia princess raised in blood and silence-beautiful, volatile, and deadly when crossed. After witnessing her mother's murder at eight years old, she learned one rule early: never let anyone mistake your softness for weakness. When a forced marriage binds her to Ronan Kavanagh, one of the most feared mafia Dons in Europe, Alina expects a cage. She gets a battlefield. Ronan is cold, ruthless, and untouchable-a man who rules through fear and never explains himself. Their marriage is meant to be an alliance, nothing more. No trust. No affection. No illusions. But Alina is not the kind of woman who survives quietly. As enemies circle and old ghosts rise from the ashes of betrayal, Alina refuses to stay protected, hidden, or obedient. She doesn't want Ronan's permission-she wants her place beside him. And as secrets unravel and the past claws its way back into the present, their union becomes something far more dangerous than either anticipated. Because together, they don't just rule. They destabilize. ⸻

Paris, the city of love-yet for me, love has never come easily. My name is Sophie Marchand. I never imagined my path would lead me here-working side by side with Nicholas Deveraux, the powerful CEO of Vinci Group. All my life, I fought to rise above the loneliness of my orphaned childhood. I studied harder than anyone else, worked tirelessly, and built a career with one dream in my heart: to someday have a stable family of my own, a life where I was never alone. I never thought my beauty would open doors faster than my lawyer degree. With my professionalism and my looks, opportunities often came my way. That's how I found myself here-Nicholas's personal assistant. At first, he was my boss. Handsome. Poweful. Charismatic. I told myself I would keep things professional, that I would never blur the line between work and personal life. But the more time we spent together, the more his gorgeous blue eyes lingered on me, the more his charm wrapped around me, the weaker my resolve became. Finally, when Nicholas offered me a secret relationship-temporary, exclusive-I should have said no. I knew it could end in heartbreak. I knew there was someone else - his former girlfriend from a wealthy family, the woman his world expects him to marry - the woman he promised to wait for her to come back. And yet... I couldn't resist him. The temptation... Now, every stolen glance, every hidden touch, every whispered promise ties me closer to a man who may never truly be mine. When that woman returns, will he cast me aside? To him, am I only a lover in the shadows? I've survived being alone before, but this time... will I have the strength to protect my heart? Because the ache of belonging to someone... is sometimes stronger than the will to let go.

I crouched down, searching for my walking stick as the crowd around me erupted in chaos. My heart raced, fearing if I would get hurt in a place I was never supposed to come. All of a sudden everything stopped, the air around me stilled as the aftertaste of the gun shot lingered behind. My heart dropped, a tear slipping from my eyes as I wondered who would get shot next.

I asked as I caught my breath, my eyes darting to find a presence near me. No reply came but what I felt sent shivers down my spine. The man in front of me was no ordinary person, his eyes heavy as I felt their pressure on me. Dominating and ever consuming as they demanded my attention.

A standalone novel in the Vyner world Varen Vyner saw Millie for the first time when he was six years old and she was only four-small, bright-eyed, and too soft for a world built of shadows. He didn't understand the feeling then. He only knew one thing: She was his. While the other children played, laughed, and forgot each other with the change of seasons, Varen never forgot Millie. He watched her. Protected her. Claimed her in ways a child shouldn't know how to. And as he grew, so did the darkness inside him-an inheritance carved from the bloodline of Raian Vyner, the man who ruled shadows like a second skin. Varen took that legacy and sharpened it. He became colder. Stronger. More terrifying than even Raian once was. But Millie... Millie remained untouched by that darkness. Soft where he was sharp. Light where he was void. Warm where he was ice. And yet- She still chose him. Every version of him. This is not a love story born of innocence. This is a tale of two souls- One made of moonlight. One carved from nightfall. Together they create a shadow that belongs only to them. Their bond is not simple. Not gentle. Not safe. It is obsessive. Possessive. Twisted in ways only a Vyner heart can understand. For Millie, Varen would burn the world. For Varen, Millie would walk through it with trembling hands but unbroken steps. By fate or by choice, she became the girl a darkness chose-and the woman who chose that darkness back. This is Varen Vyner's standalone story. The boy who was born in shadows. The man who fell in love with light. And the love that turned them into something entirely their own. A devotion. A bruise. A vow. A shadow. 1 in #twistedromance
