Thirteen years ago, Ellise Hawthorne vanished without a trace. Now, she's back... but not the same girl they lost. Raised in silence, scarred by secrets, and shaped by cruelty, Ellise is thrust into the center of the powerful Hawthorne family-America's most feared and revered mafia dynasty. They want to protect her. Love her. Give her the life she was stolen from. But Ellise isn't just haunted by her past-she remembers every bruise, every betrayal, and every lie she was forced to swallow. And someone wants to make sure she never tells. As her brothers and parents dig deeper into the mystery behind her disappearance, Ellise must navigate the dangers of her new world-elite schools, hidden enemies, buried bloodlines-and the darkest corners of her own memories. Because the truth doesn't just set you free. It shatters everything. ------------------------------------------------------ *TW: Some themes in this story may be distressing for some* ------------------------------------------------------ This is my first book !!!

Now at age seventeen, he's going into his fifth year at Tommen College, but despite the area code change and his new upbringing, he still holds that trauma that flows through his veins, refusing to let anyone get too close to him. That is until he meets Aisling Byrne. ‎𐮚𐮙𐮚𐮙𐮚༄ 𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐁𝐘𝐑𝐍𝐄 has been on the run from her abusive father for six months, and has finally found solitude in County Cork, Ireland, in the town of Ballylaggin with her grandparents, her mother, and older cousin, Niall.

After an unexpected ceiling collapse sends her apartment into chaos, Madelaine Grayson ends up living with her brother - and dangerously close to his tattooed, way-too-charming roommate. He's off-limits... but resisting him might be impossible. *** When Madelaine Grayson's bathroom ceiling caves in, it's not just drywall that crumbles. It's her entire world. Forced to move in with her brother, she finds herself swept up in the chaos of his new protective attitude - especially when it comes to his tattooed roommate, Noah Laurier. Noah is the epitome of perfection: sweet, hot, and embedded into every thought Madelaine has. But he's forbidden, and the closer she gets, the harder he is to resist. Well... what her brother doesn't know can't hurt him, right? *** "Matt's sister, I presume?" He walks towards the couch and my eyes widen. He's tall. I thought I was tall but this man could tower me, and when he reaches a hand towards me, there's an intricate clock tattooed on the back of his hand and his fingers have bones tattooed over them. This man is not human. He's tall and angular and dripping with sex appeal. This man is hot. Capital H, capital O, capital T. I don't think I've ever seen a human being so attractive. All I can think about as I force myself to keep my eyes on the screen is the feel of his jaw beneath my hand, and it takes everything in me not to look back at him.
