Seventeen-year-old Elara Quinn learned early that love can shatter. Ten years ago, a drive for ice cream ended in twisting metal and screams - and the death of her mother. Her father never forgave her. Her friends never stayed. Now she moves through life quiet and invisible, a ghost in her own house, a target at school, held together only by fragile hope and aching guilt. Her world is cold. Until Alexander Castellano - the ruthless, untouchable heir to a powerful crime family - notices the girl who never speaks. Everyone fears him. Everyone avoids her. So why does he look at her like he sees her scars instead of her silence? Alexander is danger dressed in elegance, violence hidden behind stillness. He shouldn't care - not about the girl with trembling hands and haunted eyes. But something in her broken softness pulls at something he thought was dead inside him. She has quiet hearts and glass bones, but he's the only one who sees the steel growing beneath her skin. Their worlds should never collide - His carved from blood and power. Hers collapsing in secrets and bruises. Yet when her past threatens to drown her and her father's cruelty grows darker, Alexander steps into her storm with fists raised and a voice that finally whispers the words she's never dared to believe: "It wasn't your fault. And I won't let anyone break you again." In a town full of liars and kings, where loyalty is currency and love is a weakness, two wounded souls learn that sometimes the softest heart belongs to the strongest fighter - and even shattered things can cut deep enough to save. This is not a story about being rescued. It's a story about rising from ruins, learning to fight back, and discovering a love powerful enough to make even monsters kneel.

The Orsini family was once a proud and respected Italian mafia family that came from an ancient noble lineage. They were the family who had it all: a loving family man for a father, a kind and doting mother, two sons, and baby triplets (two boys and a girl). That all changed when the patriarch and Don of the Orisini family suddenly died. The sixteen-year-old eldest son was forced to step up and take on the role of his late father; he was young and unprepared, and their family's enemies took advantage of this. They set up an ambush to kill the remaining Orsinis, but only the mother died of the ambush. The six Orsini children survived, but much to their horror, two of the triplets disappeared the day of the ambush (the older triplet and the youngest), leaving no traces or bodies. Twelve years later, The once mighty Orisini family only consists now of three brothers, and they were forced to relocate to a city in Canada, where they are now trying to rebuild everything they lost and finding their lost brother and sister. What happened to their missing brother and sister? Will they ever find them again? What happens if they do? Will they remain to be the brother and sister they once remembered?
