FIRST BOOK OF THE VELVET & VOWS SERIES ♟️❤️‍🔥! ------------------------ Isabella Romano left her parents with nothing but a dream. Years later, she is a famous fashion designer with her own luxury brand in New York. Power. Money. Success. She has it all. What she doesn't know... is that New York is owned by the mafia. And the man who controls it is Matteo Lorenzo Moretti. Their worlds should never collide. But when they do, there is no escape. Because Matteo never loses what belongs to him. And once he sets his eyes on Isabella... she becomes his obsession. ----------- "Dio, Isabella... guarda cosa fai a me." (God, Isabella... look what you're doing to me.) he murmured, my name falling from his lips like a warning and a confession at the same time. I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly too tight. He lifted his hand, slow enough that I could've stepped back. I didn't. His fingers brushed my waist. Just barely. A ghost of a touch. But it lit every nerve in my body on fire. I exhaled shakily, my voice barely a whisper. "Matteo..." His jaw flexed. His eyes dropped to my lips. Heat rippled through the space between us. And then - completely undone - he whispered, "Fuck it." Before I even realized he'd moved, his mouth crushed against mine. The kiss hit me like a shock - fierce, hungry, weeks of tension igniting in one impossible explosion. His hand slid behind my neck, pulling me into him as if he'd been holding back a storm and finally let it break loose. ------------ #1 gunfights - 01/22/2026 - 01/25/2026 #1 fashiondesigner 01/25/2026 #1 badboy 01/25/2025

Chandini has always been the girl people overlook-gentle, traditional, and painfully submissive. Her kindness makes her easy to use, and years of being taken advantage and a hard life have taught her to stay quiet, keep her head down, and never ask for anything. She flinches at raised voices, apologizes even when she's not at fault, and moves through life as softly as possible to avoid being hurt again. When her father dies, she is bound by his final business agreement: marriage to Stefan Vitello. Stefan is everything Chandini was not. A powerful, dominating, self-made architect whose presence is enough to silence a room. He speaks little, commands effortlessly, and expects obedience without having to raise his voice. Around him, Chandini feels smaller than ever-terrified to disappoint, terrified to draw attention, terrified of him. She tends to his home with quiet devotion, follows his clipped instructions without hesitation, and avoids meeting his eyes. Stefan never explains himself, never softens, never reveals what he truly thinks of his fragile, trembling wife. But he watches. He notices every flinch, every whispered apology, every moment she tries to make herself invisible. Hi guys I'm currently working on this and will try to update as frequently as I can! Read to follow along with their story!

Eighteen-year-old Lucy Green has never known safety. Her mother is dead, and her abusive stepfather, Wyatt, controls every part of her life-what she does, where she goes, and how much she's allowed to eat. She's more servant than daughter, surviving by staying quiet and invisible. The Moretti brothers have spent fifteen years tearing the world apart searching for the sister stolen from them. Lorenzo, Valentino, Roman, Leonardo, and Xavier have followed every lead, chased every whisper. Hope has nearly burned out-until Roman sees a girl with a crescent-shaped scar above her left eyebrow. A scar only Lucia Moretti could have. One glance, and Roman knows. Once DNA confirms the truth, Roman begins to follow her-mapping her routines, the worn-down places she moves through, the small life Wyatt allows her to have. And when Roman finally witnesses the abuse happening behind the closed door of her rundown home, he steps in. But his intervention goes terribly wrong-sparking a violent chain of events that will force Lucia's worlds to collide. Dragged into danger, truth, and a family she never knew she had, Lucia must face the past stolen from her and the brothers who never stopped looking. A dark mafia drama about a stolen girl, five brothers who refuse to give up on her, and the fight to reclaim a life she never got to live.

Four years ago, Natalia Moretti disappeared. No goodbye. No explanation. Just silence. Once the youngest princess of the Italian mafia, Natalia was raised to obey-to smile, to submit, to accept a future chosen for her. Instead, she chose herself. Now she's back in New York. Her parents are gone. Her brothers rule the Moretti empire. And the boy she once loved-the one who thought she betrayed him-has become a man shaped by power, pride, and unfinished heartbreak. Natalia returns different. Stronger. Untouchable in ways no one expects. She's built a life of her own, far from the shadows she was born into-and she carries a secret that could change everything. As old feelings resurface and fate pulls her back into the orbit of the man she never forgot, Natalia must decide how much of her heart she's willing to risk again. Because love in their world is never simple. And some secrets aren't just dangerous- They're legacy-changing. Heir of Silence is a slow-burn mafia romance about first love, second chances, and the quiet strength it takes to protect what matters most-when the whole world is watching.

Spoiler: "Paris is the most beautiful city in the world. It has history, culture, life, character-" she steps forward, teeth gritted. "its has rats." Adriano interrupts. "It has charm!" she says stepping forward again. "It has traffic." he says teeth gritted. "It has soul." she glares at him. "It has terrible drivers." he eyes her. "It has me. And that automatically makes it better than whatever cave you crawled out of." she jabs a finger to his chest. ************* Madelyn Laurent is a French princess with two overprotective brothers, zero patience, and a mouth that gets her into trouble. Reckless, rebellious, and completely unfiltered, she has never been very good at behaving. Adriano De Luca is the future Don of Italy--cold, ruthless, and a full-time control freak. Power comes easily to him, but before he can claim it, he's forced to meet one irritating requirement: getting married. Their first meeting at an auction is a disaster. Insults fly, hatred is immediate, and both leave fully committed to never crossing paths again. That plan falls apart when their parents arrange a marriage to secure an alliance, forcing two enemies into a union neither of them wants--and turning irritation, tension, and banter into something impossible to ignore. Because some hearts aren't won --they're auctioned. *************

"Noooo" I cried as I desperately prayed to be anywhere else but here. I struggled in the painful grip, my face was yanked upward forcefully through my hair. 
There were those eyes, the eyes that watched me live in hell every single second, the eyes that smiled at my pain and misery, the eyes of the monster I ran away from. 
"Long time no see, little snow." 
My heart dropped in terror as I stared into the familiar face that haunted my nightmares. SHATTERED REPUBLISHING ❤️
