Mirabella Alexandra Smith, a broken 16-year-old girl, grew up with nothing but pain-abusive parents, bullies, and a heart that felt unworthy of love. But when she ran away from it all, she crossed paths with the Spanish Mafia. The Rodriguez family took her in, taught her everything she needed to know when you're in the mafia, and made her feel like she finally belonged. But when she fell for Alejandro Rodriguez, her world shifted. One conversation may just change everything. Could she be the Lost Italian Mafia Princess, the one she never knew she was? Or is it all a dangerous game? This is her story. ______________________________________________ The Romano Family is the most powerful family, not just in Italy but in the whole mafia world. A lot of people may think they are happy because they have everything anyone could wish for. But are they? No. They aren't even the tiny little bit happy. Some drowned themselves to work. Some never spoke to anyone. Some became closed off. Some cared too much, afraid to lose someone again. Some tried hiding their pain behind their smiles. But as the light that's been snatched away from their grasp comes back, would they finally have a glimpse of happiness? Secrets will be revealed. Feelings would come out. Enemies would hunt them down. But the question is, could they survive? (This book DOESN'T CONTAIN SMUT) (This book is more of a family and romance book than action)

"No-please-don't do this!" Seraphina sobbed, her voice cracking as she clung to her eldest brother's wrist. "I-I'll be good. I'll do whatever you say, just don't-" A sharp crack echoed through the room as his palm struck her cheek, sending her crashing to the marble floor. Pain exploded across her skin, but it was nothing compared to the terror clawing at her chest. From above, his voice was cold. Unmoved. "You will marry him." She shook her head wildly, crawling backward until her spine hit the wall. "He's a monster," she whispered, her breath shuddering. "He's not human. Please, don't make me do this. I'll die." Her second brother crouched in front of her, grabbing her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. His lips curled, eyes void of warmth. "Then die." Her breath hitched. "But you will die as his wife." The door behind them creaked open. Heavy footsteps. Her father stepped inside, his expression unreadable. "Lock her in this room," he ordered. "She will not step out until her wedding day." Sera thrashed as hands seized her, dragging her toward the massive iron doors. "No! Please-Father, please!" But he didn't even look at her. The last thing she saw before the door slammed shut was her brothers standing side by side, indifferent as she was thrown into a fate worse than death. Then darkness. And the only thing left was the suffocating truth. She was a sacrifice. A bride to the Sinister, a devil himself. #A STANDALONE BOOK
