Book One - Regina Series Stolen at four. Forged in blood. Liliana De Rosa barely remembers a life before pain. Torn from her family at a young age, she grew up in chains-manipulated, tortured, and forced to believe the people who loved her most had abandoned her. Twelve years later, she is unrecognizable. Passed between rival mafia families, some who taught her to survive, and others who molded her into a weapon, Liliana has become both lost and lethal. Behind the mask of an innocent schoolgirl hides a girl with blood on her hands-a girl who has forgotten how to simply exist without violence. But when her abusive guardians are killed in a mysterious car crash, her world shatters again. Liliana discovers the truth: She was never abandoned. She is the daughter of the most feared mafia boss alive. She has seven older brothers who have been searching for her since the day she was taken. Now, reunited with the infamous De Rosa family, Liliana must face a terrifying reality: she is loved, wanted... but no longer the little girl they remember. She is broken. Dangerous. And feared even within the underworld. What happens when her family learns the truth-that their sweet sorella is one of the most ruthless assassins alive, her name whispered in terror across continents? Liliana is not just a De Rosa. She is The Regina Assassin. A killer. A survivor. And a girl who must learn if love can heal what violence has created. Follow her story through pain and love. Liliana Donatella De Rosa.

book 1 of the windows of the soul duology ✿ ✿ ✿ lucent: softly bright or radiant ✿ ✿ ✿ My brother's hand traces the cut on my right cheek for some minutes. I have no idea how a cut can be so interesting, but I won't judge a book by its cover. He unexpectedly moves and places a heartwarming kiss on my crown, brushing through the strands of my hair. But what startles me the most, is when he speaks, "Duerme bien, mi niña bonita." And just as I wasn't able to sleep hours ago because of my stupid fear, I let myself fall into a dreamless sleep as his soothing voice travels through my ears. ✿ ✿ ✿ Layla Rivera. A young naive fourteen-year-old who's just lost her childhood best friend and guardian. She's anxious and timid when meeting other people, so she usually cowers and distracts herself, immerse between the pages of books. When she is thrown into the lion's den - or also named as her older brothers' house - she's left fearful and intimidated by the six foot three males who she never had a clue about. Trying to make sense of what her new life will bring while being unaware of the dangers her new home beholds, she tries to make her way into her new family, but it doesn't seem as easy as she expected, or is it? ©️juststarsandbooks All written works on this account belong to Juststarsandbooks.
