**RECKLESS** *Book One in the Reckless Hearts Series* Olivia Romano has spent seventeen years living the life everyone else chose for her. Born into one of the wealthiest and most respected families, her future was already mapped out-be successful, protect the family name, and never step out of line. But Olivia has never wanted the life waiting for her. She dreams of music, dance, freedom... and finally becoming the person she's always been too afraid to be. Leaving home for Winchester College is supposed to be the beginning of that new life. A fresh start. New friends. New memories. No more impossible expectations. But within hours of arriving, everything goes wrong. A housing mix-up leaves Olivia separated from her best friend and forced to move into an off-campus house with two complete strangers. One of them is quiet. The other is dangerous. Silas doesn't smile. He doesn't trust people. And he definitely doesn't want an innocent girl living under the same roof. Behind his cold stare lies a world Olivia never knew existed-a world built on power, loyalty, violence, and secrets that could destroy anyone who gets too close. Silas has spent years keeping his two lives separate. College is his cover. The mafia is his reality. Olivia was never supposed to become part of either. As their worlds collide, stolen glances become impossible to ignore, arguments turn into undeniable chemistry, and every rule they've ever lived by begins to crumble. But loving someone like Silas comes with a price. Because enemies are watching. Secrets refuse to stay buried. And in a world where trust can get you killed, one reckless decision could change everything. Will Olivia run before it's too late... Or will she discover that the most dangerous place she's could ever be... is in Silas's arms? --- **A college mafia romance filled with slow burn tension, forced proximity, found family, dangerous secrets, protective love, heartbreak, and unforgettable twists.**
