At two years old, she was taken from everything she knew - a powerful father, devoted brothers, and a home where she was treasured beyond measure. Kidnapped by the one person meant to protect her, she vanished without a trace. Raised in cruelty by her mother and stepfather, she grew up believing pain was normal and love was something earned. She never knew she had been stolen - or that an entire empire had been quietly searching for her. For fourteen years, her father and brothers tore through cities, secrets, and bloodlines to find the daughter and sister ripped from them. Now, as she turns sixteen, the truth begins to unravel. And when a mafia family finally finds what was taken from them, they don't let go easily.

An Extended Epilogue book containing the POVs of the Delgado siblings, set at various points in the future and highlighting their own individual happy endings...which we all know they deserve at this point :)

"Vi... Viaan, please don't do this.. don't leave me, please come back. It's our wedding day. Plea...please I'm begging you." "Do not ever call me again, Ira. It's over between us." The line went dead. That was all it took for him to left me at the Altar for her. *** ~ A REBIRTH STORY From childhood, Ira Veyansh was always compared to Niya Kapadia. Niya ~ the maid's daughter who could do everything better. Studies, sports, looks, manners, obedience, everything. Everyone loved Niya. Ira parents, her brothers, even the family celebrated her like she was one of their own. Birthdays, dinners, small achievements... the praise always went to Niya. "Ira, you should be more like Niya." "I wish Niya was my sister." "Take a lesson from Niya." Day by day, Ira felt invisible. Starved for love and attention, she did things she shouldn't have, hurt Niya, humiliated her, even darker. But nothing worked. Then came Viaan. Her childhood love. The one she thought would finally make her happy. But he chose Niya too. The pain and humiliation were too much for her to handle. That night, walking alone in the rain after being abandoned at her own wedding, Ira was hit by a truck. A brutal accident that ended her life. But life gave her a second chance. A rebirth. She remembered everything. Every insult. Every betrayal. Every heartbreak. And somewhere in that second life... there is this man. Reevan. A man she was never meant to cross paths with. Forbidden. Yet somehow... tied to her fate. Now, the question is, will she let fate repeat itself, or will she change her story?

Some people lose the person they love. Some lose the part of themselves that knew how to love at all. Rudraksh Singh Shekhawat had everything. The power. The empire. The respect that came with his name and the fear that came with everything behind it. But once, he had something none of it could replace. Her. The woman he thought he loved with everything he had. Until death took her away from him. Rudraksh never learned how to live with that loss. He only learned how to live around it. He buried himself in his empire, his anger and the darkness he carried inside him. He stopped believing in love because, to him, love had become another name for losing someone. He never wanted to marry. Never wanted another woman. Until Adhira Sehgal entered his life. A girl who had spent her entire life being forgotten in a house that was supposed to be her home. Her father never hated her. He simply loved the woman he had lost so much that he forgot about the daughter he still had. So Adhira learned to smile when she was hurting. And stopped expecting anyone to choose her. Until her sister ran away from her wedding. And Adhira was forced to take her place. His bride. A marriage neither of them wanted. He had already loved once and lost. She had spent her life waiting to be loved. He had forgotten how to feel. She had learned to expect nothing. But somewhere between his silence and her tantrums- something began to change. And somewhere along the way, the woman he never chose became the one person he could no longer imagine living without. Only, Rudraksh realized it too late. Because when he finally understood that Adhira was never a replacement... she had already become his home. And when he finally chose her with his whole heart- life had already begun choosing a different ending for them. Because sometimes, love doesn't arrive to save you. Sometimes, it arrives to show you exactly what you had... just before you lose it.

Revenge. I'm familiar with it. You have to be when you're the firstborn son of a notorious mafia leader. Death and vengeance have been the very foundations of my life. So who in their fucking mind would be stupid enough to cross me? My brother and I have been wrongfully convicted of a crime we didn't commit. We know who is behind this. We bid our time behind bars, planned and prepared for the day we got out. Now we're free and hungry for redemption. I know what must be done. I know whose blood will be spilled. But before I go after him, I'll go after his daughter. I never said I play fair. *Book one in the Marino Brothers Duet. Rated 18+ due to explicit language, sex, and violence.*

Running from hell isnʼt easy. Especially when someoneʼs dragging you back down into it. Belligerent, brash and always in shades of black, Freya is hardly a lady. Hidden away by her father, sheʼs lived a normal life despite being born into the dark waters of New Yorkʼs underworld. Heʼs cold, cruel and calculating, with a proclivity for destruction. Feared by even Made Men, Torren is the boss of the stateʼs most leachorous crime syndicate. Freya hates his crudity and possessiveness, but she canʼt deny the way her breath hitches at his rough touch, the deep timbre of his voice, and his dark, heated gaze. Torren hates her disobedience, her recklessness, and her chaos. To him, sheʼs only something to be tamed. And after he slips a ring on her hand, snatching away her future, she makes only one vow---to become his biggest torment.
